THE GOLF WHISPERER
By Dr. Gerald A. Walford & Gerald E. Walford
The golf whisperer is a behavioral approach to learning the golf swing and the golf game.It is a simplified approach taken in small steps so as to ingrain each step thoroughly beforeadvancing to the next step. One of the major problems in learning is jumping to the next stepor procedure before the last step is automatically ingrained in the mind and body. Each stepor progression is designed to be in harmony with the mind and body. This is essential as themind leads the body in sending signals to the muscles for skill execution. The learning ofthese signals must be correct and accurate for the ideal muscle response.
