Re: Talent versus Practice
I am still not convinced by this. I see so many golfers with unorthodox swings that sometimes work, although due to the number of compensations that have to be made to get the club face square it all breaks down so easily.
As Hogan suggested, to become a better golfer with a chance to break 80 you need a sound repeatable swing. OK, now and then someone emerges who can pull a quirky swing together and become great, but that's not the stuff for the average guy or gal who plays once or twice a week and practices for an hour or two. "Practice the wrong things and you get better at doing them wrong"
