The Artful Lesson

Golf Lesson in Kabul by after alex

The Perfect Swing - Dave Korba from the Shivas Irons Society believes "self-awareness is essential in maximizing performance in golf and in living life. All good golfers are not necessarily self-aware, nor are all self-aware individuals necessarily good golfers... yet. Shivas Irons talks about True Gravity. Bagger Vance encourages us to seek our authentic swing. Both are attempts to have us find our True Selves in and through our golf games."

When Dave gives a golf lesson, he gives the same instructions he offers for enjoying life:

1. Have an intended result in mind.
2. Give up the need to control the result.
3. Execute.
4. Observe the result while staying unattached.
5. Learn.
6. Stay true to your inner self.
7. Have fun.
8. Repeat the process.

Steve, your current and past comments on this blog simply give me the impression that nobody but you truly understands the golf swing. Perhaps true, but I'm confident that my swift progress has been a result of paying attention to those who think like Dave instead of focusing on swing technique. As Nick over at consistentgolf.com just shared today, "For almost every 'should' in the golf swing you'll find someone who successfully contradicts it."
