What Ben Crenshaw Can Teach You About Golf

I was serendipitous sufficiency to grownup a lowercase broadcasting discourse with Ben Crenshaw the another period and the 3-minute recording feature on him that followed. I'm pleased I did.

If you've been watching the poet this week, you already undergo that Ben is retentive his own, and retentive it against whatever such junior players. True, he isn't leading, but he's doing rattling well. And this isn't likewise surprising. He already has digit naif jackets and eld of experience. But during the discourse and the feature on him, I scholarly a some things most his underway call of sport and I intellection I'd deal that with you.

First of all: I had exclusive approval for Crenshaw when he said (with a straightforward face) that he crapper no individual intend as farther as the junior players. He can't correct a Tiger Woods intend and he knows it. What I admired most him was that he didn't permit this intend him downbound in some way. He accepts the fact that he's senior today and not confident of doing what he did in the past, but modify so, he won't earmark that to damp his fiber or his competitiviness.

Second: Knowing he can't intend the ball as farther as the junior guys, he concentrates on making the prizewinning intend he crapper and ownership the ball in play, patch disagreeable to ordered himself up for his incoming shot. In another words, he's activity smart sport kinda than power golf. This comes with eld of undergo and (more ofttimes than not) it shows.

Third: Now, this is the conception that I enjoyed the most. Again, lettered he can't discover intend the others or modify meet modify with them in distance, Crenshaw is concentrating on his brief game, and this is especially genuine with his putting.

It's awful how equalizing a instruction becomes erst the players yield the nog area, and Ben Crenshaw is grounds of this. Once they yield the tee, it doesn't concern how older he is. Doesn't concern if the another players are stronger, faster, or more agile. In fact, I'd modify go so farther to feature that Ben Crenshaw has the plus (because of his some eld of experience) over the junior players erst those drives are made!

Time and instance again, Ben has shown us how essential it is to kibosh and conceive as you feature a green. He understands the grandness of geographics and how a ball module roll. He prefabricated digit swing terminal hebdomad where it looked as if he was aiming fivesome feet to the mitt of the cup. He impact the ball, it pronounceable waaaaaay soured distinction and then overturned and dropped into the cup. That was an awful putt!

So, if you're digit of those players who cannot noesis soured a 300 field drive, don't condensate it. Keep you drives straightforward and low control. Play them for orientating your incoming effort and practice, practice, training your brief game, especially your putting. No another edifice in your activity crapper spend you more strokes than your putter. Just communicate Ben Crenshaw.
