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.

    • I  had to return to boast  just a  bit. Everyone  knows  i thought  this  is  how the Championship should  be decided. Match play is far  better than stroke  play to determine a  champion and  its  much closer to most sports  playoffs. Lose and you are  out.     Promotion, relegation and match play: PGA Tour unveils radical new structure The PGA Tour has revealed its planned changes to its competitive model, schedule and playoffs, changes that will be more substantial than any in the Tour's half-century-long history. How will the PGA Tour series wrap up its season? The current PGA Tour playoff format consists of three stroke-play events, concluding with the Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta. Starting in 2028, the Tour's playoff system will feature match play, and will rotate through various courses. Further details will be revealed at this year's Tour Championship next month.
    • Posted a couple swings here. I think my attempt to blend the movement still results in a more “around” back swing?
    • I never heard dislike for them.  From my perspective, they are just like any other club. Though, they were always probably over-priced, until recently as other club manufacturers have been raising prices the past 5+ years. You had to wait for them to go on sale, which you can get them closer to other club manufacturers.  They sell good clubs. Nothing crazy..
    • Why do so many people dislike PXG clubs and constantly criticize them? All the folks at my club and especially online, I never hear good things about them except from people who bought them and defend them. They look fine to me but curious is there some sort of quality issue or is it just stereotyping the buyers.
    • I have the LM1 launch monitor and I’ve been very impressed. I agree with your assessment and it’s very accurate for me and ease of use is wonderful. The price point of $199 is very hard to beat with this form factor and performance. I was previously using a PRGR.
