Good golfers are good dancers and are musically inclined

[PEZGolf]

I have noticed that the good golfers at our club are good dancers and enjoy taking to the dance floor. They are smooth swingers on the course, and smooth steppers when the music begins. It is all about natural rhythm.

Correlation and causation, not the same.

Dont forget balance. Need that to swing a club and/or dance.

You are right. This observation is a rebuttal to advocates of Power Golf. Smooth swingers keep the ball in play, and Power Golfers become woodsmen looking for wayward drives.

Not me, just ask my wife!

Really dislike these kind of generalities. Better players tend to hit the ball far and keep it in play.

hmmm, not sure on that statement, My Uncle plays off 2 and in the late 60's early 70's played on the national amateur tour. Now, he is an awesome golfer no mistake, but can't dance for toffee unless you class "Dad dancing" as being rythmically gifted

For me, I was always better at the playing of music on the stage... But terrible on the dance floor.

God I hope not. Careful about planting more seeds of doubt in my already cynical little mind.

I'm a far better musician that golfer, so I'm not sure I'd completely agree .. although, smooooooth tempo is my #1 swing thought on the tee box, so who knows ??

Anecdotal evidence from one club doesn't even rise to the level of correlation, let alone causation.

Could be that the same type of personality that would put a lot of time in a hobby like golf would also be the type that might put a lot of time into learning an instrument.  It may have nothing to do with talent, more base on effort.

My wife has a hard time practicing golf and practicing guitar, there always seems go be more pressing things to be done... like house chores.  I also think that improving in those activities is not as important to her than it is to me.

Me, on the other hand, always find time, those house chores just aren't that important to me and can wait.

Sometimes my wife and I don't see eye to eye.

Sounds very familiar to me!
