How many times have you heard that someone has a great practice swing, but he's in the tank when he
goes "live?" The solution is at hand: a teaching aid guaranteeing a genuine practice - and live-swing
resemblance. THE Teaching Aid, currently in the development phase, is sure to revolutionize the game.
It will enable everyone to feel the ease and power of the touring professional. Who's responsible? You
won't believe it.
Mickey Shapiro is a highly suspect, part-time golfer. A hyper, triple-type-A, short fused, high handicap
flogger. He threatens to suit the game on a daily basis. Most golfers possess high expectations;
Shapiro's are stratospheric. At the same time, he is worried about what he'll do wrong prior to strik-
ing the ball. Talk about a walking time-bomb.
Although Shapiro must shoulder most of the blame for his condition, his playing partners have aided
and abetted. Sophisticated advice from his cronies consists of endless cautions to "keep your head
down and slow your swing down." This only pushed Shapiro closer to the abyss.
Shapiro decided to give it one last shot. He hired an instructor, and not just any instructor, but one
willing to eat, sleep and drink Shapiro's golf game for five consecutive clays. Furthermore, the instruc-
for guaranteed success.
The instructor discovered Shapiro's practice swing was suite promising, but his live swing was abom-
•
'liable. After a leisurely practice swing, Shapiro would step up to the ball, take forever readying himself,
•
•
tense up and do everything but advance the ball toward the target.
•
•
•
Were there fundamentals that needed to be addressed? Absolutely. But, until Shapiro learned to relax,
•
loading him up with frustrating swing thoughts was senseless. So, he was instructed to forget every-
•
•
thing and duplicate his comfortable, nonchalant practice-swing.
•
•
•
For five long days they worked on eliminating swing thoughts and replicating Shapiro's practice swing.
•
Shapiro found that having no swing thoughts was easy, but converting his practice swing was difficult
•
•
- until he came up with a revelation. Out of the blue he revealed a teaching-aid idea able to convert the
•
practice swing into the live swing. It works like a charm and will surely reveal many of golf's secrets to
•
•
millions of frustrated golfers.
•
•
••
For centuries, golf's leading experts have struggled with how best to communicate the relaxed,. natural
•
swing motion of the accomplished player. And wouldn't you know it, out of nowhere, a hacker finds the
•
•
answer. Shapiro's THE Teaching Aid apparatus should be unveiled in the not-too-distant future. Keep a
•
lookout. If it turned Shapiro's game around, it'll likely put you on the tour.
