Experimenting

There are many, many approaches to improving your game. Swing “gurus,” teaching aids, gadgets & devices to name a few. If you take your car to a mechanic because something isn’t working correctly, he will look at it to see what is wrong. This is a typical approach to fixing our golf game, but I think we all can put ourselves more in the mechanic’s place as we understand more about our particular games. What I mean by this is that the mechanic probably learned how to fix cars by playing around & taking them apart. Experimenting. For instance, let’s experiment with your golf swing. Say you’ve got a wicked slice and want to get rid of it. Instead of trying to fix the slice, let’s first learn how it is you slice and learn to recognize it. Experiment by trying to slice it more, or less, and then turn around and try to hook one. Let yourself recognize the differences – first be aware of the causes before making any change.
