Bandaid or Surgery?

Which is quicker?  Placing a band-aid on a wound or having surgery?  Which one is more costly? How about putting up a tent versus building a house?  If you just had a heart attack, would you want a little strip of rubber with a square of gauze applied to your chest?  Or if a storm was coming, would you want to be hunkered down in a tent?  I love asking questions! How does this apply to golf? It applies because a reliable golf swing takes time to build. It costs you something, but it is SO worth it.  Golf is hard.  Remember? "The hard is what makes it great?," a la Tom Hanks in "A League of Their Own." Take time to build your swing well. Be patient with yourself and with the process. You are not building something that can "go up" in a day, and last a lifetime.  You are building for a lifetime of enjoyment and challenge playing this addictive game.  Find someone who will teach you patiently, clearly, and with genuine care.

Fore you, Sue
