I am asked this alot. And I work at a golf club, so alot of my trainees "think" I am an excellent golfer. Truth is, the golf swing is a skill acquired through proper instruction and repetition. A good golf pro can teach someone the proper technique, but a good trainer will tell the golf pro and client "why" the swing looks bad. Truth is, I suck at golf...frankly, I find the game long, boring, and slow. I will play when I have about 3.5 hours to kill...but honestly, about 60 minutes into a game, I am thinking to myself, "man, I could be doing that load of laundry", or "I could be washing the car", etc, etc...
