The link below will take you to the Cincinnati Enquirer article about Korey Ward winning the State High School Championship - for the second year in a row.
I've helped Korey with his game for about 10 years, now.
Korey's a great example of a good GOLF...SUCCESS Player knowing how and when to 'gather facts' about his game.
Last year Korey told me he didn't want to come look at his swing with me on the Video as the High School season progressed. I asked a few questions and was totally convinced that was the best thing for him to do, at that time.
Our decision was proven good. In successive weeks he won his Conference,
But he really did spray the ball, as I watched him, more than he or I would like - at that State Tournament last year.
This High School Season - was different regarding his 'fact-gathering'. We thought it best to have him see it every week on the Video, just to make sure that absolutely nothing surprising crept into his Full Swing.
That decision was proven good, also. He won his Conference event by 17 shots, placed second at Sectionals by one shot, won Districts by 4 shots and won State by one shot.
Golfers and Instructors, alike, often look for 'right answers', 'set formulas' and 'program methods' to play good golf. I, and the Players I help, do not.
We understand the NECCESSITY in honest golf - to vigilantly and constantly be open-minded and humble about whatever may work best for each individual - at any given time - in their development as a Player.
I hope you experience this kind of genuine, thorough, honest GOLF...SUCCESS in your game.
It becomes deeply meaningful, just ask Korey.
This message holds true for anyone who wants to better their current best. Thanks for the reminder that, uncomfortable as it might be at the time, if you don't look honestly at where you are and what you are doing, it's very difficult to improve.
