How Timing The Golf Swing Is So Critical To Consistent Shots

Let's examine an aspect of the game that I find par-Timing the golf swing is extremely critical. It is not possible to complete a good golf swing or execute the perfect golf .....
ticularly fascinating:- The strong emotions associated
with this game of golf.
Before I started becoming a fan of this game, I always
wondered how a game that looked so bland----and at times
down right comatose-----that seemed to take boredom to a
whole new level------could possibly have Any emotional
appeal.
DID THIS GAME ACTUALLY HAVE A PULSE?!
I mean-------what could be simpler? PUT THE BALL IN
THE HOLE, RIGHT?
How could that POSSIBLY produce such strong emotions
(both on the green and off).
I see now that it's NOT just about competing to be the best
against others, and to better your own game.
But that the game APPEARS to be so deceptively simple.
Could THAT be the source of this emotional rollercoaster?

difficulty just gripping the club handle? (Or just being allowed
to join the local golf club?) ;-]
But yet you still managed to "putt" the ball in the hole? (A
typical case of beginner's luck). You probably thought to
yourself, "This isn't so bad. Piece of caKE!"
But then, all the realities of what could possibly go
wrong between the tee and the hole came crashing down on
your head. (That your instructor was so gracious to point
out to you).
Wind direction, contour of the land, sand traps, bunkers,
the rough, other players mocking you,...
That temporary NIRVANA of IGNORANT BLISS that you lived
in was shattered to pieces forever at the next hole. Now
instead of 4 or 5 strokes, it takes 7 or 8 strokes. Then
8 or 9...
You begin to overthink everything. Something that once
easily flowed...now becomes mechanical and forced. Your
smile and upbeat attitude are gone. Now replaced with
embarassment. Nervousness. Irritability.
And finally,---the dreaded FRUSTRATION sets in. TO quit
seems more and more like a good idea. (I mean who needs the
aggravation?)
But you don't quit, right?The game is like an addiction
to you after several weeks. There's something deep within
the subconscious of we human beings that enjoys facing
down a challenge...even if it's a sport.
THere's a drive to conquer in all of us. Even to the point of
conquering our own weaknesses and seeming lack of ability.
It's a tough battle sometimes. If you've ever seen a golfer
break his expensive titanium club over his knee, tie it in
a knot, then toss it into the nearest water hazard,...
Or screaming at the top of his lungs at a golf ball...
Or trying to run his caddie over because he forgot to
remove the flag in time...you know what I mean.

If you've ever seen a golfer drooling over a new bag of clubs
in the sporting goods department of a department store...
or have known yourself to pay the grounds keeper to let
you play just four more holes after hours...Or remembered
to bring your clubs on vacation, but left your wife
standing in the drive way...you know what I mean!
The highs and lows of this game in the hearts and minds of golfers.
THIS is the emotional roller coaster I was referring to.
Going from one extreme to the next.
Can you see yourself living from day-to-day without this
sport for any length of time?
Just think about that for a second...

Feels like a rather BLEAK outlook doesn't it? ;-] Hm?
This sport has been "knitted" to our souls. We practically
live and breath it now. And are always striving to become
better. To knock just a few more strokes off.
Just keep punching, and that mountain's gonna fall!
We know that true skill is a "diamond in the rough", that
can only be refined through hard work and practice.
Well...
Just keep drivin' fellow golfer! Keep drivin'!
