Golf Like a Child




Golf like a Child - Bill Bales at The Next 500 Years decides to play golf like a child. He shares, "Picasso said he spent his whole life learning to paint like a child. I theorize that only kids truly "get" life. The closer you are to your kids, the more this rubs off. That's why we don't want our kids to grow up. Making changes to my grip and swing, back to the way I naturally wanted to do it as a kid, made me FEEL like a kid. I went from a 92 that should have been a 100 the day before to an 80 that should have been a 74. Golf went from being hard work to joyful fun."

Golf as Art

When you disappear, Golf as Art shows up. The resulting void is where all the important discoveries, personal development, satisfaction, joy and fulfillment take place.
–Fred Shoemaker, Extraordinary Golf

Swing motion at its highest level is the uninterrupted flow of natural rhythm from within.
–Tom Woods, True Golf

A great golf shot is a thing of beauty. Repeating it is an art.
–Mark Guadagnoli, Practice to Win
