Top Four Golf Myths – From Golf Canada

The June 2009 issue of Golf Canada, published by the Royal Canadian Golf Association, included a wonderful, brief article by I.J. Schecter. The article focused on the “Top Four Golf Myths.”

Here are a few key quotes from the article.

1) Don’t Think

Here’s the problem: For most recreational golfers, it’s everything we can do just to stay focused on the ball ... Ummm... you better think.

This relates to my blog post from yesterday, specifically item 5) from yesterday, “Tomorrow will come anyway. Live and fully enjoy here and now.”

2) Drive for show, putt for dough.

If you can’t get a driver to cooperate with you, your putts are going to have as much consequence as Paris Hilton.

Great quote!

This too relates to my blog post from yesterday, specifically item 4), “Focus on a solution.”

3) The clothes make the man (or woman).

Accessorize as much as you like, but this is one sport that leaves everyone equally naked.

Another great quote!

4) You hit it as far as you think.

On most shots between the tee and green, most golfers chronically under-select clubs.

How true it is!
