Golf Lit


I have been reading
The Greatest Game Ever Played (by Mark Frost, link here), which I find entertaining. The real find from reading this is Harry Vardon's work, How to Play Golf (link here)." The words ring true from over a century ago. Golfism lives in his words.

The natural swing is...natural.



Children understand golf in a way that is ideal -effortless, thoughtless, and fun. My son, age 6, launches a ball about 100 yards, but doesn't overly scrutinize it or think much of it at all. A miss doesn't phase him. The only pressure comes from the parents.
