Golf, a game that looks deceptively simple and yet complex enough to drive the golfer insane. When I tried my hand in this game, I realized a disconnect between my mind and body. The golf swing involves the twist and turns of the various parts of the body at different times and yet it has to be in sync and in a rhythmic motion. 

But when I see coaches training their wards, I can't help overhearing these words: 
"Rest your body weight on the balls of your feet."
"Turn your upper body such that it is away from the target."
"Hinge your wrist."
"Let there be a lag before the commencement of the downswing."
"Accelerate your swing just before the impact."
"Let the clubface strike the ball first and then the ground."
"Make the divot after the ball."
"Compress the ball for distance."

These instructions would be perfect for a machine learning to play golf, but definitely not for the human body. When playing a shot, the instincts should take over. Ask any PGA tour pro; when they play, the mind is blank, the shot they make is muscle memory working.

This concept is beautifully woven in the movie "The karate kid," Jackie Chan the karate master, trains the body first without his student knowing that he is learning Karate. Golf coaching uses advanced technology to analyze the swing, club speed, angle of attack, ball path, and distance, but it is yet to get simpler. I think one way is to start to train the body first rather than the mind. It looks easier said than done. Maybe that is why senior golfers say that it is easier to put Man on the moon than to make the perfect golf swing.
