I
started to practice the golf swing in driving range in
1994. Then in 1996, my coworker Bill Reid brought a spare
set of golf clubs for me to hit balls in the Scarborough
Fire Prevention Golf Tournament. Since then I love the
game.
Being a firefighter, I believed my strong
arms could hit balls further. I was wrong and absolutely
wrong because Ben Hogan said at the introduction in
his book "Power Golf" in (1953) of page xi -
when you grip a golf club to take your first swing at
a golf ball , every natural instinct you employ to accomplish
that objective is wrong, absolutely wrong.
That is why you may have to take lessons to get the
fundamentals.
Now, I deeply thank all my instructors
including Svend Sturup, Jimmy Kim, Todd Miller, Mike Levine (U.S.
Golf Pro.) and Gary Edge who gave me the insights of
golf swing.
The more I like golf, the more I think
of sharing
my feelings on the grip and mechanics of
swings with you.
My philosophy is to create an effortless
and repeatable golf swing . The transition from upswing
to downswing is the key of every effortless swing .
You are strongly recommended to develop
the feeling that the left side of your body is the leading
your swing. Do not use hands to hit balls by raising
your body's spine angle.
