Summary:
This is the third in a series of essays exploring how Eastern spiritual philosophy can enhance your golf game. While the primary goal is to improve your skills and enjoyment on the course, there is a deeper purpose: transforming your approach to life.
Today's Topic: You Already Know
The fundamental aim of Eastern spiritualism is enlightenment, often described as "waking up" or breaking free from illusion. This illusion is the belief in separation?"the idea that we are distinct from everything else. Eastern philosophy teaches that reality is one universal entity from which everything emerges.
As we seek to reconnect with our true nature as part of universal consciousness, we strive to remember what we've always known. But how does this relate to golf?
In a similar manner, we inherently know what we need for golf success. It's not about acquiring new skills, but remembering and acting on what we already know.
Many might wonder how a 20-handicapper possesses this knowledge. Isn't golf a challenging and complex game, supposedly beyond our reach to master? Statistics suggest this, with 90% of players having handicaps over 10 and 60% over 18. It seems we don't know. Or is it simply that we don't remember and apply what we already understand?
Golf is not about hand-eye coordination like tennis or baseball, but about repeating a specific motion under pressure. It's not about skill as much as it is about paying attention to fundamentals?"things we've been taught or have read.
For instance, holding the club correctly and maintaining proper posture are basics within reach of any golfer. Moving to the top-of-the-backswing position isn't an elusive task unless hindered by a physical limitation.
Balance exemplifies this concept. Every skilled player finishes each swing with a balanced stance on the leading leg. Yet, many of us don't achieve this at the driving range or on the course. How can we expect to move the ball forward when we're off balance?
The answer lies in acknowledging that we know these fundamentals but choose not to practice them. We forget to remember, or worse, choose to forget.
This leads to a simple question: Why?
