Yeah but where's the ball?

This will probably make more sense than the earlier posts I have made...

Ich möchte Ihnen die extraordinary golf Trainingmethode vorstellen.

Sie sollten wissen, dass es zwei Methoden gibt Golf zu unterrichten. Die „Herkömmliche“ ist meiner Meinung nach für viele Golfer wenig Erfolg versprechend, die „Extraordinary Golf” Trainingmethode dagegen überragend.

Die „herkömmliche“ Lehrmethode ist weit verbreitet und schließt endlosen Unterricht mit nur wenigen Verbesserungen ein. Lesen Sie das

Die überragende Lehrmethode ist viel einfacher zu verstehen und sobald verinnerlicht, nicht mehr zu vergessen.

Alle Menschen haben als Ergebnis der Millionen Jahre Evolution ein erstaunliches und hoch entwickeltes Lernsystem. Menschen sind sicher schlauer geworden!


I want you to imagine extraordinary golf training method .

You should know that there are two methods to teach golf . The "Traditional " is in my opinion for many golfers unlikely to be successful , the " Extraordinary Golf " training method, however, outstanding.

The " traditional " method of teaching is widespread and includes endless lessons with a few improvements . Read the

The superior teaching method is much easier to understand and once internalized , can no longer be forgotten.

All human beings have as a result of millions of years of evolution a remarkable and highly developed educational system . People have become smarter safe !

Fine motor skills are certainly more precise but at basic level they are learned in similar time frames to gross skills. A professional runner dedicates as much time to the precision he requires for his skill as a professional violinist.

You may think you know this subject but your obnoxious answer above was just plain flawed. I mean,  gross motor skills can be learned quickly and with little repetition, I take it you have never had children or had a chance to witness how every single day of their infancy involves endless repetitions in the process of improving these skills.

So yes, I agree that your seem to have less knowledge on this subject than you led us to believe.  I also find your posts entertaining for the wrong reasons.

The average deer has a lifespan of about 5 and a half years.   Deer are capable of reproduction at 6 months of age.   A baby born on the same day as a deer will typically live multiple times as long and will not be capable of reproduction until well after the deer is dead.   Trying to draw a correlation between deer and humans is pretty ludicrous.

"A child learns many gross and fine motor skills in a short period of time but I wouldn't say either of them are learned quickly."   More double talk..........     The definiton of quick:

quick [kwɪk]

adj
1. performed or occurring during a comparatively short time

Inserting the definition of quick into your sentence, we now have the following:  "A child learns many gross and fine motor skills in a short period of time but I wouldn't say either of them are learned in a short time."    Doesn't make sense, does it?  You accuse me of having no knowledge of the topic, yet you don't even understand what you wrote..   THIS is the very reason I find your posts entertaining.    They are comical to read because they don't make sense.

Basic (or gross) motor skills are skills which use the large muscle groups and do not require extensive practice to master. Most basic motor skills are learned while children are very young.  Once mastered, barring physical injury or incapacitation, the skill level remains constant throughout the human's life, even with little to no practice.

Fine motor skills involve the coordination of multiple muscle groups (often in conjunction with the eyes) to perform tasks that are precise in nature. If not practiced regularly, the skill level will erode over time.

Those are the definitions of basic and fine motor skills.   Now, since you seem to think you know more about the topic than I, you tell me, which sounds more like the skill set required to properly swing a golf club?  I believe everyone else here can get it right....

I am sitting here laughing at this. Where the hell has this post gone?? Deer? Really? What the hell does this have to do with golf. You need to be on a child development forum. You can repeat all you want about our natural ability to learn things(golf) as adults just as we learned the basic of walking as children. I get it. Everyone of us, unless there are handicapping conditions, all learned to walk. But not all of us could naturally be great golfers (or guitar players, or pro baseball players, or Mr. Universe) without training\practice. Some could learn it as a natural motion and pick it up easily, some would have to train and work at it and in doing so would have to learn from example and from being taught. Enough already...

I also think we should keep the deer out of this.

An important question here is,

Is golf a fine motor skill or gross or both?

Do we need big muscle control for golf?

Could this sport involve fine and gross motor skills?

If so what's your point?

You brought the deer up.

Look at those definitions of gross and fine motor skills again.  Pay particular attention to the part about practice and what happens to mastery of those skills in the absense of practice.   The answer should be obvious to you......

I think you are going round in circles.

Gross skills are continually being used, so practice is on going. Fine skills like sowing, writing or tying shoelaces are no different. Like I said earlier, I don't think a violinist (fine motor) or a 100 metre sprinter (gross motor) can - at the same level of advancement - afford absence of practice.

At a mastery level practice is imperative whether that skill is gross or fine.

Just because you consider golf to be a very difficult skill to learn doesn't mean you can bend the standards for learning these skills to suit your argument.

Now you want to talk about sewing, writing, violinists and sprinters?   I showed you the very definitions of fine motor skills and gross motor skills.   If you can't grasp the obvious differences, then you are hopeless.   I am done...   At this point, I am just going to sit back, enjoy the humor and pity the fools taking lessons from you.

    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
    • Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings. 
    • IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
