Just wanted thoughts on this subject.

Natural Golfer

Someone who just takes to golf without any sane reason and is much better at it than anything else they have attempted. General view is they were just born to play it, like some mystical purpose that they were destined for.

Natural Talent

This person is an athlete displays aptitude in a number of sports and has options probably could have reached a high level in maybe 2-3 different sports. Has physical ability and the mental drive to succeed often explained as having something special about them that mere mortals like us don't have and can only dream of.

Natural Learner

Now this is the interesting one for me as I believe we all have this. It depends on what you want to think about yourself the limits you put on yourself and your perception of your own ability to in this case be a good golfer. I think learning is natural. My brain and body are more than capable of learning an exterior skill whatever it is. Granted golf can be a lifetime of work but it is not a monster beyond our intellect that tortures us on a weekly basis. Depends on how you think of it.

Do you think golf is one of these things or a combination of all?

Probably a combination of the three in unique parts for each person. I'd say I'm some mixture of Natural Talent and Natural Learner. Always been a successful athlete in multiple sports and I still work out regularly. And I always did well in school and when taught something, I'm capable of quickly making the changes.

I used to work with a kid who was a Natural Golfer. He was an athlete as well, but about only a year after picking up the game, he was playing some really good golf.
