Okay, I'm almost through the book now. Haven't hit a ball since starting it, but I'm excited.
The reason is that I've had basically two swings over my 47 years. In college, I used only my upper body and concentrated on keeping my legs motionless.
Later, I took an extension class in golf and the Natural Golf swing was what the instructor taught. I didn't know it until now. I played that way for years, but got away from it for two reasons. I found I was very inconsistent. I could shoot an 88 one day and my next round might be 104. Of course, I only played about 4 rounds a year in those days, so maybe that had something to do with my inconsistency.
The other reason is that I couldn't find instruction manuals or magazine articles that would help me determine what I might be doing wrong. Knudson makes several suggestions about the set up that were exactly what I was looking for.
But it is a smooth swing when it works properly. I remember my good shots as long, high and with a little draw. I'll definitely give it a shot again.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll let you know if it works for me.
