Swing Thoughts: The Slow Descent to Acceptable Incompetence
Most golf books are written by pros who have forgotten what it's like to be lost in the rough. This is not one of those books.
Swing Thoughts is a field guide from the landscape of the high-handicapper-a place that is mostly rough and very little fairway. It's for the golfer who knows the "mythical distance" of their driver is a lie, whose first tee shot is an almost certain hook (or slice), and who has spent far too much time playing "interesting" recovery shots from places where golf was never meant to be played.
This book explores:
The Swing Debt: Why your previous errors are charging interest on your next shot, and why the "rescue shot" is usually a trap for your ego.
The Id-iot: Meeting the part of your mind that doesn't want form or feel-it just wants to whack the hell out of the ball as violently as possible.
The YouTube Mirage: Why "free" digital advice often leads to months of wandering in the wilderness.
The Clown with a Bag of Fudges: How to stop building a game made of unrelated tricks and start building repeatable, honest mediocrity.
If you've ever lied to yourself about a "gimme" or wondered why your mind and body seem to be speaking different languages on the putting green, then this might be for you. You aren't going to become a pro, but you might just become a slightly more consistent duffer.
