Pure example of how golf is a mental game. Being content with yourself and not overthinking is the key to a good swing

Actually you need both. It doesn’t matter if your content with yourself but are lined up 30 degrees left, come over the top and leave the club face open. You’ll just contently watch your ball slice into the woods

John Daly is a national treasure. You might agree or disagree with him, but he won't BS you. In the early 90's, the "grip it and rip it" was his thing, he was the first player to hit a 630-yard hole in two shots. But besides his ability to absolutely crush it, he was very savvy with his short game, especially his short wedges. He just lines up and hits it, no big thought, one of the most natural swing players ever. I believe Tiger when he said Daly is one of the most naturally talented players he's ever seen. Tiger had to work for it. If Daly put that level of work in, he might have won as much as Tiger did.

he was naturally gifted. to achieve any precision on a swing that hard, he basically coiled his body and wound up on the backswing, requires immaculate timing. even for a player of his ability it created inconsistencies, that's why you don't see a drive like that often. he could pull it off, but no golf teacher this side of the globe will advise you to replicate it. he also had an impressive short game, again, talented in all areas. watching his clips brings me joy time and time again.

[@adamober1572]
