\u201cThe average golfer\u2019s problem is not so much a lack of ability as it is a lack of knowing what he should do.\u201d
\nFive Lessons<\/em>, Ben Hogan, p. 97<\/p>\n

\u201cTo improve your golf the first stage is not necessarily to change your swing, but to learn to do your best swing more often.\u201d
\nThe Golf Handbook for Women<\/em>, Vivien Saunders, p. 92<\/p>\n

\nOn Learning Golf<\/em>, Percy Boomer, p. 221<\/p>\n

\u201cI can outhit many men, much to their embarrassment, for suddenly they are pitting…their strength against mine. That\u2019s foolish. They aren\u2019t competing with my strength; they\u2019re competing with the efficiency of my swing.\u201d

\nThe Elements of Scoring<\/em>, Raymond Floyd, p. 73<\/p>\n

\nMy Golden Lessons<\/em>, Jack Nicklaus, p. 166<\/p>\n

\u201cThe shortest route to improvement is to get on the green in fewer strokes.\u201d
\nHale Irwin, Golf Digest<\/em>, January 2010, p. 98.<\/p>\n

And two from The Recreational golfer:
\n\u201cThe one feeling you should have before every shot is athletic confidence in your ability to hit the shot well. If you’re not feeling that, well, good luck.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPlay a practice round where any shot can be repeated, but only once. If your mulligan is more like it, your mind wasn\u2019t ready the first time. Work on that. If the mulligan is just as bad, this to a shot you need to practice.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
