Everything helping the development of good control must be encouraged Randy Johnson Diamondbacks Jersey , everything hindering it avoided. Their building up is largely unconscious and unnoticed, in-deed even a successful pupil will often feel that little progress is being made—until perhaps quite suddenly he will be surprised to find himself playing effective, confident golf.


I remember with special pleasure how that happened to a young pupil of mine.


She had been in my hands since her childhood and her first experience of a major tournament was when she went over to England for the Ladies' Open. She actually led the field in the qualifying rounds and was only put out on the last green in the semi-final..


On her return she said to me, "I did not know I could play like that! No one was more surprised than I was. I just played—and everything went right."


I was delighted, but not so surprised. I knew she had the golf in her and that sooner or later the controls we were building would enable her to play it. But I was delighted, because you would not normally expect a young pupil to play a bit above her best on such a nerve-testing occasion.


So when a golfer says to me Paul Goldschmidt Diamondbacks Jersey , "I must learn to concentrate—concentrate—concentrate!"


I counter with: "No, you must build controls—controls—controls!"


Now I claim that the right way of learning golf has almost nothing in common with the "learning" we did at school; it is an entirely different process. Memorizing the capitals of Europe or a Latin declension, or 'learning" chemistry or mathematics, are purely mental feats and depend exclusively upon mental memory, whereas I contend that to learn to play good and consistent golf you need muscular memory.


What you need to learn (or memorize) are not the technical or mathematical details of a good shot but the feel of it. If you and every component muscle in you can remember the feel of a good shot, you can make it—and you have become what I term a reflex golfer. That is to say Patrick Corbin Diamondbacks Jersey , the good shot has become your "reflex," or automatic response to the sight of the ball. But please remember that this golf memory is a memory of a cycle of sensations which follow and blend into one another quite smoothly.


Each sensation must be connected up with those which precede and follow it; it cannot be considered independently. The truth is that it cannot even be felt independently. You cannot, to take a crude example, feel the top of your swing as such; you can only feel a sensation between the sensations of the back swing and those of the down swing.


For that reason you must never in golf say, "I've got it!" when you think you have found the secret of some shot that has been evading you—unless what you have "got" fits into your cycle of sensations or, as we shall now call them Luis Gonzalez Diamondbacks Jersey , controls. Because, unless it does so fit in, it cannot become a reliable part of your game. And why do I call sensations controls? Simply because I want you to control your golf by these sensations instead of by thought.


There is another reason why your memory of a golf shot must be a memory of a cycle of sensations, not of a number of separate sensations. It takes an exceedingly skilful juggler to juggle with six glass balls at once, but if the six balls were threaded onto a string most of us could manage them—and the memorizing of sensations as a cycle (instead of as independent items) does thread them up for us very much in this way.


To turn for a moment from learning to teaching. Most of the teaching of golf is completely negative— and a purely negative thing can have no positive value. Why do I say that golf teaching is negative? Well we can all find faults in each other's game, millions of them Jean Segura Diamondbacks Jersey , and we all start off to teach golf by pointing out these faults and "curing" them.


I did this for twenty-five years, but I have now discovered that the right way to get a pupil to hit the ball satisfactorily is to watch for any good natural qualities that may be there and to build up the swing around them.


We all hit a good ball sometimes. Maybe with the beginner this is an accident, but the good teacher will use such an accidental shot, photographing it in his mind and starting away to build up controls around the qualities which made it possible.


In this way the beginner can retain his natural capacity to hit the ball and will gain confidence in his ability to do it—and so go on enjoying his game and improving it. But if the teacher merely points out to him a dozen or more faults in his swing he will become perplexed, confused, and fed up. For that reason I never tell a pupil his faults (which is negative teaching).


I notice the faults Curt Schilling Diamondbacks Jersey , of course, and suggest the necessary corrections (which is positive). So I never tell a pupil that he over swings and breaks his left arm, I explain width to him. That is to say I give him a positive conception and by working on it he actually cures his faults without even being aware that he had them.


Now there is another point about teaching which I would like to emphasize. You will find that in this work I have not tried to set down a set of controls in one way and leave it at that. I have tried to set the same things down and explain them in many different ways. So when you find me repeating myself do not think it is carelessness!


All good teachers must repeat, but never in exactly the same words or with just the same connections. I want to give you a clear idea of the controls which will enable you to produce an effective swing, and I d Hone Your Colonic.
