The greatest pleasure is obtained by improving.
Ben Hogan
Image
I don't believe there is anything like a natural golf swing. A golf swing is an unnatural thing, and it has to be developed.

There are no shortcuts in the quest for perfection.
Ben Hogan

When you see an opportunity, you practice and work, at least from sunup to sundown.
