Sound reasoning is the basis of the start and ultimate execution of a good golf shot.
A source of enduring fascination, where a normal logical thought process is destroyed by the sight of a little white ball.
Swing knowledge is extremely useful to a golfer yet it could be argued that too much knowledge, used inadvertently, and misguidedly, can mess you up and cause many a double bogey.
Try to take a broad view of 'swing knowledge' as very often what appears to be the perfect movement is perfectly useless for you.
Sometimes it might be a deduction drawn from evidence (practice) that is extremely hard to sustain.
Many golfers are genuinely ignorant of logical reasoning (especially on the golf course) and that obviously causes bad shots.
If you don't have the ability of thinking clearly during your round, you'll play well as often as the chances of catching a rare tropical disease.
A working knowledge of your swing is important in delivering your full potential and capability on the course.
Your own dexterity of identifying good movements will enable you to be a successful player.
Out of Bounds: This has to be the cleverest golf club secretary's answer to a member's unwanted proposal during an AGM -- "l approve in principle that we should vote on this proposal, however, this would not be by my personal decision, as this will still leave many areas of patronage and influence untouched. I suggest that a much wider measure is needed, looking at the whole field, and therefore l propose that we refer this suggestion back." With that, the totally confused and bewildered member sat down -- never to say anything ever again at a meeting!
