A great tip for new golfers is don’t try to crush the ball.
When you swing with all your might, a lot can go wrong. Watch any funny video of a first time golfer. Chances are the humor stems from someone swinging as hard as possible.
Instead, slow things down. Smooth it all out. Loosen up. Meet the ball.
Don’t try to crush the ball idea isn’t usually our default with something new. We assume more strength equals more of a desired outcome. Move faster to get things done faster. Match the pressure with more pressure. The square peg will fit in the round hole if we just make it.
There is a lesson here in parenting.
