Our Creed

My creed goes something like this: Keep it simple, stick to the basics, practice consistently with enthusiasm and intensity, use logic, be creative and intuitive, be confident in your applications, be happy and deal with your misery. Be real. Stop fussing. There are absolutely no secrets. Nothing's new. Collect the necessary information and get to work. The clutter of intelligence, the waste of words describing a simple thing, the superior heaps of decaying mental rubbish surrounding our game is EVERYWHERE. The sensible applications of the basics to YOUR GAME is simple.. not necessarily EASY....You actually have to get off your can and do it....But, at the end of the day you will have the feeling that it is, indeed, SIMPLE! There are people out there who have read so much they think they actually know something. The learning's not in the reading,... it's in the doing.

"QWERTY"

Look familiar? How about ASDFGHJKL;? Shoot a glance at ZXCVBNM. Step into into the wonderful world of the personal printing press, A/K/A, the typewriter, & finally today's modern key....board.

Who would draw a correlation between the keyboard and a better understanding of the mechanics of the golf swing? Today's Top Scientific Minds would argue that a genius touch would be the catalyst necessary to effect this dynamic relationship.

What can the keyboard teach us about our golf swing? PLENTY!

For the first time since 1868 & the invention of the typewriter, by Christopher Scholes, a dramatic epiphany in time and space links Chris's machine with a golf swing. The marriage between these seemingly unrelated items becomes a "BOON" to our golf game, totally overlooked a century and some change later.

Somewhere in your past you learned to type. Perhaps in a classroom in school. You may have sat down, along with other boys and girls, in front of a typewriter with no numbers or letters on the keys. This very important fact would help you take the shortcut in learning how to BEST use this interesting machine. Years later, hereafter referred to as NOW, you will discover how this typing approach can do far more for your golf game than most conventional forms of golf instruction.

Typing instruction eliminated the necessity of using our eyes in learning how to type. Our typing book informed us that mysteriously hidden under our fingers were letters & numbers. Under the pinkie of our left hand was hiding the A, next to it and waiting patiently to be "struck" was the S, conveniently located under our ring finger. ......Time marches on and at the end of the semester we have mastered the entire keyboard. We can type!

Here's the good part! What if, at the beginning of every class, we were presented with a new keyboard configuration? Some "Opportunist, " Sniffing... huge profits... & sensing our..... gullible....ness ," had moved all the numbers & letters somewhere else on the keyboard.... convincing us ..... that it was "a better idea!"

Are you doing the same thing to your golf swing? Is re-wiring your brain with magazine tips, lessons from this and that golf instructor, books, videos, & any advice really a "better idea?" OR..... Is this approach preventing YOU from finding "Your Best Keyboard Lay-Out" YES...."Your Best Swing."

Reach out and type something. Do you consciously know what rests under your finger tips or do you somehow think of a letter or number and your "fingers" know exactly what to do? Your brain doesn't have to process the information through the eyes & into the thinking part of our brain...in other words "The Long Route"....does it? Your best golf swing takes place when you are NOT thinking. Doesn't it?

Typing works & it works incredibly well because the "Typing Industry," unlike the "Golf Industry," left us the hell alone!

The Modern Golf Swing

Up for grabs is the opportunity to take full advantage of today's latest technology which can analyze the swinging of a golf club frame by frame, millimeter by millimeter___ & apply this modern wizardry to our golf swings!

Our contemporary golf industry has an infinite array of high tech___faster than a speeding bullet___ space age equipment designed to "break down" the swings of our super star players. Thanks to these technocrats, who do all the work & hand us the results, we are able to cut and paste the information directly to our own golf swings! Only a Neanderthal would dig a golf swing out of the dirt like the out of date "old timers" did. With today's electronic gadgetry at our beck and call, why do "IT" the hard way?

The point of impact is the intersection at which the "accident" takes place, preciously when & where the head of a golf club slams into the unsuspecting dimpled sphere sitting patiently on a wooden pedestal! That's where the sperm and the egg embrace.

Stop the camera at that lightening fast blur and steal all we can from that dash of time___ reaping the bag full of priceless rare jewels. At long last the mysteries of the gifted are shared with we less privileged mortal souls...i.e. tips to transform our inept golf swings into incredible ball crushing machinery. The rabbit is pulled from the magician's hat. We now know how much the golfers knee flexes at that mini-moment, right and left elbow shape, spine torque, wrist flex, grip pressure, lower to upper body X-factor, shoulder ratio & it's relationship to hard or soft spikes, the reaction of titanium versus platinum heads, & fiber strands versus cold rolled steel shafts!

Today's designer swings, single axle, double clutching, rubber burnin', nitro fuel powered un -natural golf swings are the brain child of the golf industry more specifically the teaching golf instructor, the magazine publisher, the Golf Channel, the carnival barker & the vizored chap with the pencil thin mustache & Chesterfield cigarette running the shell game. So brazen, they rob without a mask and are oblivious to the rolling security cameras. This brain laundering approach makes lots of folks.....lots of wampum.

If you've been sucker punched into falling for their lunacy, shame on you, enjoy your stay in no-mans land and get set to havin' yo' butt whopped by those using common sense.

The significant time period that will go down in history should, hereafter, be referred to as the Golden Age of The Golf Swing... before computers, high speed film and all the other gadgets that were NEVER used by the classic swingers & absolutely do NOT apply to how the golf swing truly functions. For you see, Mr.Common Sense, the golf swing is way too quick for us mortals to effect the changes the Golf Industry Thieves are pitching at us. They continue using their marketing approach because "we buy it." "The rich get rich and the poor golfer gets poorer, in the meantime, in between time "Ain't __they___ got Fun? & money to burn!"


Sam Snead, when asked how he found his elegant, graceful, fabulous golf swing replied ___"It's just like hitting a rock with a stick." Sam didn't know a computer from a fishing pole___but he finished in 1st place 185 times, 2nd place 63 times and 3rd place 54 times. Sam finished in the top ten 358 times and in the top twenty-five 473 times. In 1954, he won his third and final Masters after defeating Ben Hogan in a memorable 18 hole playoff, and in 1959 he shot a world record 59 in a USGA sanctioned golf tournament. Sam didn't fall for the complicated version of the golf swing___ how 'bout you?

William

I'm sending you this picture from my grave! Recognize Me? NO?... perhaps, you've been in a cryogenic sleep capsule or adrift on the Santa Maria. If you have a smattering of interest, please allow me to introduce myself.

My given name is William Shakespeare. Mumsey called me William. My friends knew me as Will. Respectful children called me Mr. Shakespeare. My girlfriends, (That's Plural) referred to me as Slick Willy. I wrote fancy stuff between 1564 & 1616.

Golf was not invented during my stint on Terra Firma. Living amongst y'all today___ I would, no doubt, set my plume aside and reach for a golfer's magic wand.

One of my famous quotes ___ "To be or not to be?... that is the question." TODAY I might write "To DVD or not to DVD?... that is the question."

I am confronted with the dilemma of taking golf lessons from an instructor or buying a golf instruction DVD. Being a rather bright feller, I ponder....Which is better?

If I were to take a golf lesson from someone living outside one of those new fangled DVD players, wouldn't he/she/it, do a better job? THEY could see my swing up close and personal ___ giving me immediate diagnosis. A DVD never sees my swing, never views my personal problems, and has no idea how wonderfully unique I am. Seems to me like a lesson from a real, live, living and breathing creature would___ hands down___ be the right choice. Why waste anymore ink dis__cussing "IT?"

But, hold the phone, (fill in your own name here)_________& grab your shovel. We need to do some serious digging.

My guru (The Anti-Pro) informs me that "less than 5 golf pros in 100 have the skills to help me with this odd game. Most folks are scared stiff of not being politically kosher. So who's left with the balls (golf, or otherwise) to give me the low-down? ..No one BUT the AP will dish out the cold hard facts i.e. the other 95 will make you WORSE....how do you like 'dem apples?

Let's squint up the skirt of an exceptional golf swing instruction DVD! Anything of interest?. A DVD containing the correct "skinny" on how to swing a one pound weapon should be worth some head scratching. Don' cha think?

How is the high tech, freeze frame gobbledygook force fed to us by the "Carney Folks," a/k/a fruitcakes, masquerading as golf instructors, applicable to my game? EZ Dear Reader…..All great golf swings are built on the same tried and true principles & are timeless. Nothing new & improved here…you're not buying a box of Tide!. The correct DVD has umpteen advantages over what you may have previously considered the "best choice."

An excellent DVD can cover the "secrets" that apply to ALL great golf swings___ Thee & Moi included.. We can watch a DVD over and over and over rewiring our motor skills from the comfort of our favorite easy chair. If you are flat lucky enough to find a decent golf instructor…most of your lesson, you just took at the driving range, is forgotten before you hit the 19th hole.

Now, what If your DVD coach has golf's finest swing to mimic and is a gifted instructor to boot...Whoopee & Hallelujah. Isn't that the very best way to learn? Worked for you in walking and talking, didn't it?

Lets talk money here or, in my day, pound sterling's. Let's see... I can learn more with one DVD that covers everything I need to know for the price of one golf lesson or I can blow my entire paycheck on the outrageous cost of several unproductive golf lessons? Appealing decision in 1600, 1800, 2000, 2200..... and most anytime your heart is "Lub-Dubing."
