Re: Unsolicited Advice

its a pardaox... i have been on both sides....

when i sucked and saw someone good nailing it and hitting crisp i would want any advice he could give, but he was obvuisly practicing and i didn't want to interupt him. would/have you ever asked anyone for help?

but now that i am good, i am hitting good and i notice how terrible some others are hitting and i wonder if he is thinking the same thing i was thinking when i was bad, or not.

i wouldn't mind helping but i don't want to come off rude and ask if they want help if they didn't want it....... just like some want help, but they don't want to be rude (interupt your practice) and ask. someones gotta give.

when i sucked a way people asked me (after seeing me hit constant fade or slice) said "are you trying to hit it right like that?" and then gave me tips on how to fix it.....

their is a saying "the higher the handycap, the more advice they have"

so some people are cautious about recieving advice.

so if somone asked for help (i can then give them help my way), i would give it, but i can't ask if they need help becaue (i can't give them help thier way) i can't fix one part, i would have to build their whole swing..... i have only been swinging a club or a year and hittting good for a few days, so i couldn't help anyone w/o starting thier swing/grip from scratch (which most wouldn't like). guess that is why i am not a teacher, as good teachers can work with the swing you got.
