As I became better at golf I became very self-aware of the feel of the swing.

I was analytical without being overly analytical.

I learned early on to watch the ball flight as it told me everything my swing had done.

Where did the ball start? How did the ball curve? What height did the ball start at and what height did it ultimately reach in flight? How was the ball spinning when it hit the ground?

Understanding the physics of the shots was far simpler and easier than worrying about what the swing itself looked like.

The physics told the ball what to do. The swing built itself from applying these correct physics.

I grew up with no cameras or videos and definitely no apps to watch and review the swing.

It really was a trial-and-error thing, and it really helped me as a golfer because I was only concerned with the shot and the result rather than what my swing looked like.

This is a very important lesson for golfers — especially in today's hi-tech approach to the game.

This logic has also been a revelation in the way I teach people.

The golfer is far better at seeing it from their viewpoint of looking down and out at the ball. And they are far better off watching the ball's reaction than constantly watching their swing on replay.

If the ball reacts accordingly then your swing is doing all the correct things.
