You cannot swing a golf club intellectually. You can only swing it kinesthetically. The Golf Stroke happens too fast for it to be otherwise.
Even so, there is no escaping the fact that every Golf Stroke involves Mechanics. If those Mechanics are sound -- a heroic assumption for most of us -- then proper Execution (3-F-6) will produce the desired result. If they are not, then even their correct Execution will yield limited success.
The road to true golfing progress is paved with disciplined effort directed toward well-defined objectives. The work is to properly identify each required Mechanic and then reduce it to a Feel (Crash Translation / 3-C). Then, that Feel must become one with the others (Relative Translation / 3-D). Only then can you rely upon Feel to reliably execute a sound Total Motion with little or no consious thought (Expanded Translation / 3-E).
The Basic Motion Curriculum (12-5-0/1/2/3) points the way. Feel becomes the Golfer's Structure...Structure that aligns Force geometrically into efficient Motion.
And the foundation for that Golf Stroke
Structure -- Golf Stroke
Feel -- is Educated Hands.
