The year of golfing dangerously

One year ago I wrote about connection, especially Jimmy Ballard's conception of connection, and within a few weeks totally forgot about it. Ironically, I also wrote about lead hand low putting and then rejected it.

In both cases, I was probably wrong. I suspect my best and most consistent golf will be played when connected (I won't go into the details of connection now) and also my most consistent short range putting will probably occur when I putt lead hand low. For longer putts, say from off the fringe, I'll still use a conventional grip for feel rather than accuracy.

But on the connection front, I really need to commit to this method or feeling or whatever you want to call it. I think for me it is the answer, but the next few weeks will tell the story.

Anyway, I can't believe I've let a year go by trying all sorts of other ideas, but I guess that explains why the blog title: 'the effortless golfer' is so beautifully ironic.
