Ray's Basic Philosophy on Golf
My basic philosophy about the golf swing is a very simple one, based around the word swing: A continuous to and fro motion (i.e. pendulum). We are flooded with so much information about the swing from books, tapes, TV & friends that we forget to dothe most basic and simplest thing, which is to swing the club and not to hit a ball.
