Everyone knows that before one can run, one must first be able to crawl and walk. So why is it that people leave that logic behind when it comes to golf?
Just go to any range in Singapore or around the world for that matter. You will be hard pressed not to find a poor soul practicing his full swing in the mistaken notion that his blood, sweat and tears will lead him to the holy grail of golfing consistency.
The biggest myth in golf is that practice leads to perfection. Practice does not make perfect, it makes permanent your motion – whether good or bad. You keep doing what you always did; you will keep getting what you always got.
If you can’t control the club over 4 feet in a chip shot, you will have no chance with a driver swing that travels over 22 feet. As a blind mouse gets some cheese occasionally, so will you get that rare “pro style” drive. Your consistency is your inconsistency.
The next time you get your ass to the range, remember that there are 4 stages to learning a golf stroke and they cannot be done out of sequence.
1) Chip
2) Pitch
3) Pitch with a finish
4) Full Swing
