I have tried about three different times to become a half decent
golfer and always failed miserably at it. Apparently it's just not my
game.


I played once with a guy who was an avid golfer and had been since he was a
kid. He observed my typical amateur baseball bat type swing and had me walk
to the next tee flopping my arms and hands around like a fish out off water
to loosen up. He said I was gripping the shaft too tightly and my arms were
too stiff.

On the next tee shot I relaxed my grip and arms, addressed the ball,
performed a perfect backswing, drove the driver down towards the ball and
watched my driver, not the ball, fly about 100 feet down the fairway.
