Happy Sunday, everyone.
I have some big news! My first book The Game Within The Game is out and now available in eBook format.
You can get it on Amazon HERE.
The book brings my top Substack posts together into one neatly formatted, highly organized volume of 169 pages. My goal is for this to serve as your ultimate strategy/course-management resource that you can refer back to at any stage of your never-ending golf journey.
If you’re a premium subscriber, you can get it for free HERE.
If you’re interested in purchasing a physical copy, please enter your email below so I can get an accurate print count. If I get enough sign-ups I will produce a physical copy.
Okay that’s enough about me. Let’s get into today’s bag.
Today’s quote:
“Golf is a non-violent game played violently from within.”
— Bob Toski
Key Positions
There are dozens of positions in the golf swing, and golfers spend a lifetime chasing each of them to perfection. But what if focusing on just a few key checkpoints is all it takes to play high-level golf?
Take a look below at Eduardo Matarazzo from the Ole Miss golf team.
The first photo is at the top of his backswing. Looks pretty textbook.
Now take a look at the second photo as he is coming into impact. Textbook.
Now watch his full swing:
I share this to remind you not to obsess over every single position in your swing.
The golf swing is one motion. Not dozens of separate mini ones. There can be wild variation in that motion so long as you return to a semi-consistent impact position.
So don’t obsess over the technical imperfections of your swing. You only need to hit a few key positions consistently in order to play good golf.
