Stick to Principle
"Golf cannot be taught, it must be learned"
—Mike Hebron

Golf, the Alexander Technique, and Tai Chi have been a part of my life for many years. The longest association I have with any of these, by far, is golf. For over 50 years I have followed the trends and trendsetters, eventually "digging my swing out of the dirt" as Ben Hogan advised. If I have learned one thing, it is the value of a relativistic approach to learning and teaching golf. Relativism is the art of seeing relationships to the whole instead of focusing on discreet parts. Mechanistic golf instruction teaches swing keys, club head and shaft positions, and a sequence of movements. The mechanistic positions and sequence of the golf swing are important, but they must be in the service of the swing as a unified act. As it is, the swing is just a part of playing the game. To be a great golfer you must learn different shots for different situations.

| To achieve mastery of yourself and your golf game, you must also train the whole brain. Various golfing greats have placed a numerical value on the importance of the mental game. Some say it is as high as 90 percent of the game. Myths, metaphors, and aphorisms dot the landscape of the mental game in golf. Fortunately, the exploding science of brain research is beginning to separate reality from myth.
I have had the opportunity to study and learn about some of the exciting work being done. I can teach golfers how to use the conscious and unconscious parts of their brain to improve. The training is good for your golf and your life.
Come for a free introductory lesson, if you like what you hear, consider a 5-lesson training package. There is also on course instruction and group classes.
