Being a strong ^B&haallhy person. I started ?Kg to learn the game about K' years ago with no misgiv ^nglh BUT today I am where I was' three years ago instead ?* hu Of course I excuse my self because I do not h?w much time to practice 'which is true); also another excuse is I haven't gotten the swing yet (which is true); also that I do not take it seriously and do not care (which is a lie) But to concentrate on all of the necessary procedure-right grin, proper stance and squat, no bent left elbow, weigh shift, heed down and eye on the ball. IThen swat just knowing sou ,isrstvsjrm ss for the ball is stffi right where you placed it or only about is feet down the fairway. Oh well, it's good exercise.
