My common sense reasoning is that all bad habits are the result of advice coming from too many sources, so I refer them to a professional who will teach them one way...the right way.BChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08132849675471056061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17206449.post-54463436238933390422009-04-19T13:26:00.000-04:002009-04-19T13:26:00.000-04:00Excellent post Heather!

Unfortunately, it seems everyone has some *advice* they want to hand me, or they have something derrogatory to say about my swing. My golf teacher & mentor told me I have a beautiful swing, so I'm clinging to that. <br /><br />When I first started playing, it used to really ruffle my feathers, especially when playing with the hubby. He's full of all kinds of remarks. My favorite is "You just looked up is all." Oh really? Ya think?<br /><br />However, I've become very astute at smiling & ignoring it. Because, you are right. There's always going to be some schmo that wants to offer their *expert* advice, and they are seldom the ones we should listen to. I'll stick to what my mentor teaches me, thank you!Snooty Primadonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023417839687501752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17206449.post-61579356982737514542009-04-19T11:00:00.000-04:002009-04-19T11:00:00.000-04:00I only offer golf swing advice to my opponent in m...I only offer golf swing advice to my opponent in match play. Hopefully, in their backswing.<br /><br />I will also help my opponent read his putts. I am very helpful that way. Never very accurate, but very willing.Vince Spencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10761454912786879102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17206449.post-3163867398257913512009-04-17T14:00:00.000-04:002009-04-17T14:00:00.000-04:00I try to refrain giving advice on a swing, unless ...I try to refrain giving advice on a swing, unless it is an obvious flaw with a partner in a tournament (or practice for it.)<br /><br />Even then, keeping it simple, something like "smooth" or "swing easy and hit hard" comes to mind. Nothing too technical. Of course, helping with a read in that situation is another story.<br /><br />I figure if I were so good I would either be a teacher or Club Champion.Charles Boyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00672533578474522766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17206449.post-32477224649266959252009-04-16T16:52:00.000-04:002009-04-16T16:52:00.000-04:00Usually those who offer unsolicited advice are the...Usually those who offer unsolicited advice are the last person you want advice from...and their own swings are proof of that.Roberthttp://www.gameunderrepair.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17206449.post-47855181288423800292009-04-15T19:41:00.000-04:002009-04-15T19:41:00.000-04:00Unless someone asks for it, I never give it and ev...Unless someone asks for it, I never give it and even when they do, I keep it short<br /><br />I had someone trying to give me tips a few months ago as I was hitting my drive.
