1420.0. "Golf Digest Foot Article" by USPMLO::DESROCHERS () Tue Jan 14 1992 15:38

    
    	For all interested, this month's Golf Digest has a great
    	article with Tom Purtzer as the model.  It shows computer
    	images of his foot pressure throughout his swing.
    
    	It's really one of the most valuable articles I've seen
    	in a long time!
    
    	Enjoy - Tom

1420.1practice practicingLUDWIG::TREMBLAYWed Jan 15 1992 21:0214
    I read the whole article this week and thought it was extremely
    interesting.  It's VERY technical, using equipment and technology
    that's not available to the general public yet.  The series of drills
    offered seem to require a certain amount of practice in order to make
    them worth while.  In other words, it seems to me that you have to
    learn to do the drills before you can use them as practice drills.
    Also, some special equipment (however inexpensive) is required.  For
    those who spend lots of time on their game, it might work.  I plan to
    try them because I happen to have them items needed around the house
    and I believe good footwork and weight shift are important.  The
    biggest problem, as with most drills, might be to forget about the
    practice methods and just hit the ball out on the course.

1420.2A little learning is a dang'rous thingVERGA::F_MCGOWANFri Jan 17 1992 09:066
    I enjoyed the article on golf school, and picked up a couple of little
    tidbits I intend to try (left shoulder inside, not outside, left hip;
    shift weight to right heel on backswing) - well, at least after I check
    them out with my teacher! I've gotten myself pretty messed up over the
    past few years by reading (and imperfectly understanding) too many tips
    from various publications.
