the real problem golf swing tips

Golf swing tips!

Golf tips rule the world!

They are everywhere. It is impossible to avoid them. Their benefits are widely claimed. But... I’ll let you in on a secret...

Come a little closer...

A bit more...

Are you listening?

Are you ready?

Golf swing tips do not help you!

If you rely on them solely...if you are always searching...always changing your swing...you are in BIG trouble.

You see... There is no secret to a better golf game. There is absolutely no quick-fix. They do not exist so you should stop looking for them.

Something has gone wrong with the way we’re taught to play golf

Man’s obsession with golf swing tips is a reflection of the “I want it now attitude”. The “I need everything quickly” you are not prepared to take the journey mindset.

Golf tips are right up there with fast food and get rich quick schemes... They can seem great in the beginning but the long term benefits are non existent.

This modern mindset is extremely self destructive. It leads nowhere. Well... at least not to a better golf game.

Golfers searching for the miracle cure usually end up in a dizzying mess of confusion, self-doubt and hopelessness.

By the time the golfer realizes his mistake it can be too late. Many years can pass in this chasm of poor scores...when he finally understands the errors of his way...he is trapped...his best years have past him and he is stuck, past the point of no return and left with a golf game that is beyond repair.

The quick-fix pill can be very tempting. The marketing and associated hype can be difficult to ignore. There is a lot of noise to distract the unwary golfer...after all...isn’t everyone using golf swing tips?

Most are...but that is why the world’s golfers are not getting better. The average score for golfers has remained stagnant despite the meteoric advancements in technology and golf course maintenance.

There are some though that can see past the smoke and mirrors...a small percentage that are not misled by distractions and false promises of success.

These are the golfers that understand that improvement is best achieved by taking a journey of many steps...that the tortoise will always win in the end.

The quick-fix mentality goes against natural law. We don’t learn or achieve success in any other endeavour like most approach golf.

A baby always learns to walk before it runs...we drive the back streets before we tackle the highway...successful businesses take years to build confidence and trust with their customers.

Improvement is slow and steady...but we always get there in the end.

Mother Nature understands this and ensures we arrive at our destination...eventually!

Compare that to the approach of the golfer looking for a swing secret or miracle cure... He will try something for a shot or two...then he’ll move onto something else when that doesn’t work. He is always looking and always searching. He keeps the golf magazines in business. He’s the first to read “How to lose your slice in three easy lessons”. He is a sucker for the latest golf equipment or gimmick training aid.

I feel sorry for this type of golfer. It really isn’t his fault.

The golf industry is built on him. They keep feeding him the garbage and he’ll keep eating. They have him fooled and he is too gullible to take notice. His answers are right in front of him. If only he would look...listen and open his mind. He is staring at the solution...but he can’t see it...he is blinded by the smoke and distracted by the noise.

Mother Nature can’t help him...he is breaking her rules. She allows him success once in a while...but it is never long term. He will continue to search but he is unlikely to find it.

Golf swing tips might rule the golfing world but Mother Nature rules the Universe!
