O.B.Keeler: The terrible thing about a missed shot in golf is that the thing is done, irrevocably, irretrievably. Perhaps that is why golf is so great a game; it is so much like the game of life. We don’t have the shots over in either.

Tiger Woods: The biggest thing is to have the mind-set and the belief you can win every tournament going on. A lot of guys don’t have that; Nicklaus had it. He felt he was going to beat everybody.

Betty Jameson: Golf is visual: it has texture, emotions, and power

Ben Hogan: Golf is not a game of good shots. It’s a game of bad shots.

Gary Player: The more I practice, the luckier I get.

A.J. Dalconen: To play golf is the search for perfection.

Learning golf mechanics is important to your golf swing and golf putting. Understanding your body mechanics is equally important: there is the need to understand how your body responds to the mechanical and muscular demands of the game, thereby instrumental in enhancing every aspect of your play and performance. A lack of knowledge of the body mechanics often results in muscular pain, which is an impediment in your golfing success.

Golf involves a variety of body movements, and the classic golf swing combines the following movements:

·   forward bending

·   backward bending

·   side bending

·   body rotation.

While performing these movements, both your head and feet remain relatively stationary.

Your body movements occur at various joints, not bones (which do not turn and twist).

Slightly modify your golf swing, if necessary, to accommodate your body mechanics during the classic golf swing to guarantee good balance and flexibility, which form the foundation of a good swing.

Hale Brown: Physical shape and size have a direct bearing on the way a golfer builds his swing. It is important to harness what nature has given you rather than fighting against it.
