ARCHIVED ILLUSTRATED TIPS

As with alcoholics, the golfer with this problem must first admit they have a problem. Are you one of those really irritating golfers who has been banned from playing at any golf course which has rare wildlife, because when you put your clubs back in your bag, you'd wake up even the comatose? No one will play with you any more because the banging, rattling and scratching is enough to shatter the already frayed nerves of your average golfer. Regain your golfing buddies by practising silent insertion. Clamber in and out of a vat, so you can personally experience the dynamics of replacement.

While there are pros who say it doesn't matter if you have a fast swing, as long as you swing fast all the time, I've seen that a fast swing, when under pressure, gets even faster. This throws the golfer completely off balance, which makes it impossible to hit a solid shot. If you're a quick swinger, you must slow down. You have two options. Eat nothing but chocolate for the next six months so that your arteries thicken and you'll never do anything fast again, or try the climb-the-ladder routine. Take a friend with you to observe your swing. If you swing too fast, they say "Ladder" and you immediately climb a ladder before your next swing. As fast as you can. Not only will this slow your swing, it'll also fix those arteries, if you've tried the chocolate solution first.
