Can you imagine standing on the first tee and not worrying about your swing? That would be a good thing, although you may not believe that right now. Most golfers are so mechanics aware that have no idea what they would think about if not about the thousand or so components of the swing.

In case you hadn't noticed, Concept Golf makes the swing so simple with its five principles that you can actually forget all about it. That's not only a freeing idea, it's a necessity. Let's see where you go….

After The Fundamentals

You now know the five simple, clear, Concept Golf swing principles that empower you to create a powerful, consistent swing. Your swing is now "armless,” (not using your arms) and you will learn to play the game so that you are "bodiless.” Bodiless means your focus is on the shot, not on the swing and body. Now you can learn how to play the game and consistently score low. This is the great part of the game -- the fun part of the game.

Now that you understand the swing and can hit the ball to the target most of the time, forget all about the swing. Forget how to make the swing; forget about making the swing. Quit thinking about your swing and tinkering with your swing. Instead, focus on shot-making, strategy, the target, scoring and overcoming fear, doubt, dumb mistakes, trying too hard and any kind of tension. You may be thinking, "But my swing is not perfect and I'm not hitting all perfect shots. How can I try to score low?” Fred Couples and Tiger Woods don't have perfect swings and don't hit all perfect shots, either. With your understanding of the correct concept of the swing your shot-making will improve, even as you forget about the swing. This may sound strange, but Concept Golf golfers are good shot makers and continue to improve.

When I ask golfers who taught them how to play golf, the answer I usually get is the name of a person who told them how to hold the club and where to put their feet. Golfers are not being taught the strategy of playing, planning where to hit shots and knowing why. The real answer to my question is that no one taught them how to play golf, how to plan and think on the course. Usually the entire focus of their instruction was to keep them from missing the ball when they swung.

Golf Can't be this Simple - Playing The Game will teach you how to go to the course and think about playing the game -- not about the mechanics of your swing. And because you will not be thinking about what your body is doing, you will be "bodiless.” You are going to manage yourself and the course instead of letting the course manage you. You are going to learn to take control of your game and the course. You are going to find out just how much fun the game can be. I am not trying to mislead you into thinking that golf will ever be an easy game -- that will never be the case. I want you to know how to play the game and how you can score as low as possible on a consistent basis. I want you to realize that golf is much larger than the swing -- that the swing is just a tiny part of the game. You must assume that you are going to hit the ball solidly.

You need to know how to steer a car in order to drive, but once you learn how to steer you forget about steering and start to become a driver. The same is true in golf. You need to learn the swing, but once you have done so, it's time to move on to playing the game. If you get hung up on steering, you'll never become a driver.

There are two components of golf:

1. hitting and delivering the ball; and

2. knowing where to hit the ball and what kind of shot is needed. As with driving a car, knowing how to shift and steer are fundamental mechanics all drivers must learn. However, to be a good driver one must go beyond the mechanics and learn all the subtleties of driving on the road with other cars.
