Swing Like a Kid

When I took up golf regularly nearly 2 years ago, I decided to approach the game as if swinging a club were as easy as throwing a ball. I believe our body already has the natural ability required, we just need to learn to calm our minds and reduce its interference - interference that we introduced as we grew older.

The key, I think, is to rediscover that carefree and fearless attitude we once knew as children, an attitude that keeps the possibilities open and makes the game more fun. This video certainly shows us what's possible. We just need to relearn how to swing like a kid.
