The Basis of Golf

The basis of golf begins with an understanding of what exactly must happen in a good golf stroke. I call this, “The Basis Of Golf.”

Good golf MUST comply with the laws of force and motion. We obey these laws everyday of our lives without even knowing it. When you get up out of bed, jump into your car, open a door eveything we do is in full compliance with these laws.
