Hidas ysi – OSA 15

[Nimetön]

Kuka suomalaisessakin golf-kirjallisuudessa lainattu heppu on laukonut tämän totuuden: ’Paras paikka svingin hiontaan on harjoituskenttä. Siellä sinulla on mahdollisuus toistaa samat virheet aina uudestaan, kunnes ne painuvat lähtemättömästi alitajuntaasi ja muuttuvat osaksi peliäsi.’

[Hörhö]

1. If you really want to get better at golf, go back and take it up

at a much earlier age.

2. The game of golf is 90% mental and 10% mental.

3. Since bad shots come in groups of three, a fourth bad shot is

actually the beginning of the next group of three.

4. When you look up and cause an awful shot, you will always look

down again at exactly the moment when you ought to

start watching the ball if you ever want to see it again.

5. Any change works for a maximum of three holes and a minimum of not

at all.

6. No matter how bad you are playing, it is always possible to play

worse.

7. Never try to keep more than 300 separate thoughts in your mind

during your swing.

8. When your shot has to carry over a water hazard, you can either

hit one more club or two more balls.

9. If you’re afraid a full shot might reach the green while the

foursome ahead of you is still putting out, you have two

options: you can immediately shank a lay-up, or you can wait until

the green is clear and top a ball halfway there.

10. The less skilled the player, the more likely he is to share his

ideas about the golf swing.

11. The inevitable result of any golf lesson is the instant

elimination of the one critical unconscious motion that allowed you

to compensate for all your errors.

12. If it ain’t broke, try changing your grip.

13. Golfers who claim they don’t cheat, also lie.

14. Everyone replaces his divot after a perfect approach shot.

15. A golf match is a test of your skill against your opponents luck.

16. It’s surprisingly easy to hole a 50-foot putt when you lie 10.

17. Counting on your opponent to inform you when he breaks a rule is

like expecting him to make fun of his own haircut.

18. Nonchalant putts count the same as chalant putts.

19. It’s not a gimme if you’re still away.

20. The shortest distance between any two points on a golf course is

a straight line that passes directly through the center

of a very large tree.

21. There are two kinds of bounces: unfair bounces, and bounces just

the way you meant to play it.

22. You can hit a 2-acre fairway 10% of the time, and a 2-inch branch

90% of the time.

23. Every time a golfer makes a birdie, he must subsequently make two

triple bogeys to restore the fundamental

equilibrium of the universe.

24. If you want to hit a 7-iron as far as Tiger Woods does, simply

try to lay up just short of a water hazard.

25. To calculate the speed of a player’s downswing, multiply the

speed of his backswing by his handicap. Example:

backswing 20 mph, handicap 15 = downswing 300mph.

26. There are two things you can learn by stopping your backswing at

the top and checking the position of your hands:

how many hands you

have, and which one is wearing the glove.

27. Hazards attract; fairways repel.

28. You can put ’draw’ on the ball, you can put ’fade’ on the ball,

but no golfer can put ’straight’ on the ball.

29. A ball you can see in the rough from 50 yards away is not yours.

30. If there is a ball in the fringe and a ball in the bunker, your

ball is the one in the bunker.

31. If both balls are in the bunker, yours is in the footprint.

32. Don’t buy a putter until you’ve had a chance to throw it.
