How Much Do You Really Know About The Golf Swing?

Intelligent people tend to read and watch all they can in order to learn about the the golf swing, which is why so many feel they are knowledgeable about the swing. To explain their inability to improve, these golfers believe their problem is that they can't put their knowledge into action. In other words, they think they know what to do, they just can't do it.

Without getting into a philosophical debate about what knowledge is, let me ask a question. Isn't knowledge more than just the acquisition of information? Shouldn't the acquired information be correct for it to be considered knowledge?

This is an important point for those wanting to learn about the golf swing. Surely you've noticed how one instruction article conflicts with other instruction articles, sometimes within the same magazine. If the articles conflict with one another, then how do you know which is correct, if any? Of course, I could have mentioned one golf video conflicting with another video or with an article, it's all the same.

The bottom line: most people who believe they know a lot about the golf swing really don't. Most of their knowledge is really only incorrect information—a hodgepodge of conflicting swing theories.

The golfer who claims they "know what to do but just can't do it" is probably wrong—they think they know what to do, but they don't!

I have first hand knowledge of this. By the time I was 18 I had taken many lessons from several different instructors and read a number of books and a ton of magazine articles on the golf swing. I believed I pretty much had the golf swing figured out. Now as I look back, I know I wasn't right about one single thing! No wonder I was stuck in a rut.
