The Perfect Build for Golf
June 7th, 2007 by Olaf Bound.sWhat is the perfect build for a golfer? Barring a real handicap (no offense), anyone with a normal body frame will suit the bill. A number of beginners and even veteran golfers have asked this question; but is there an answer for everyone. Let’s look at some extreme examples.
Mr. John “Grip it and Rip it” Daly is a good example. Famous more for his outburst and “beautiful” quotes; his build has never been in question, has it? This man can really rip them. And to those non-believers, who believes that golfers with large frames have a difficulty with their shot game. This man has great hands and his shot game is quite exceptional.
So, you may ask. What about us, the Asian size wonders? Look no further than this man, Mr. Ian Woosnam. He was winning a lot of tournaments way back then! For a man of a rather “short” stature, he was a man which pack a lot of wallop in his driver. Great game overall and has surpassed many golfers who were much taller than him.
What about the tall and lanky ones? I have two great examples, Mr. Charles Howell III and Mr. Jim Furyk; whom I believe need no introductions.
And if your build is like mine? Middle age with a 6-in-1 stomach to boot. I rest my case! Take a look at Good Old Phil!
Look no further if you really think you want the best build for Golf. Eat your heart out! The one and only, No.1 in the world Mr. Tiger Woods himself! So next time you tee it up, no excuses PLEASE!!!!
