The Timber Creek Golf Academy believes, what golfers have been taught, and where instructors focus has been the past couple decades or so, has been misplaced. Golf is what the ball does. Understanding the ball flight laws tells an instructor exactly what to fix, and what the player is doing. It doesn't take an athletic person to grip the club, stand athletically, and aim correctly. If we can be good at the small things, the rest will take care of itself with time, awareness, and experience.
