Golf Tips from the chairman of AMGTA(American Golf Teacher's Association )

Ok , Lets take a break from Taijiquan . Lets talk about Golf !!!! YES, GOLFFF!!
This afternoon , its the second time i had the honor of getting coached by
Mr. Phua , Chairman of American Golf Teacher's Association. "Simplicity" , thats the word most appropriate word to describe the lesson.

"Throw the club head on the ball ,do not scoop the ball , if the club head contacts the side of the ball before the ground, the ball has nowhere else to go except shooting straight to the front", thats what Mr. Phua kept reminding me.
Its that simple .Finally , not only did my longer irons improved tremendously, my short game as well. All these while ,i have been trying to airborne the ball through scooping. I guess its a mental block . It reinforced that, understanding the physics in any kind of games or sports before your practice, will save you alot of wasted time and money in fruitless practice. In the past, I would spend hours hitting hundreds of balls in the driving range trying to figure out where i went wrong with my strokes instead of learning from a proper coach. I am all too eager to just hit the balls, and not taking a step back to understand the physics involved .

In any case , I would like to thank Mr. Phua for his precious time and precious golf tip. A few more practices and i hope i will be ready to challenge the green again .
