Re: Count Yogi

hello: i have studied the methods of the above person and find his methods to be an excellent way to learn golf. it took me many readings to understand what he was talking about. i did not adopt all of his methods but i find that the general principles he talks about are valid today and are good to learn. the trouble with the pga teaching, perhaps i do the organization an injustice as i do not know whether they are the main proponents of this, is that you cannot put together the best swing by learning body movements. as count yogi in the book states to do so is paralysis by analysis. trying to step up to the ball and think about where your arms legs etc are is impossible. the pga pro bob toski said it right when he said follow the swinging motion of the club. by concentrating on body movements eventually u loose the "swing" characteristic of y our swing. i think the guy never made it because the pga at the time had a caucasian only clause in its membership. the words in the book are deceptively simple and ambiguous but if you think about it more there is substance there.
