Oversimplification in action? I agree Bigwill. It's a mistake to make direct comparisons. Being in the so-called "athletic position" usually relates to those sports where the ball is moving. When you are on your toes, you are preparing to run to a moving ball (baseball, tennis, basketball, & football). Knowing that walking and running are uncentered endeavors (controlled falling), golf is the opposite. Golf needs a center and balance. And, golf begins with a stationary ball. __________________ Yoda knows...and he taught me! For those less fortunate, Swinging is an option.
