On the Tee with Hank Johnson
Consistency
Definition: The ability to be asserted together without contradiction.
Golf application: A golf stroke pattern within which all components are compatible and supportive of each other.
Most golfers are already consistent in doing whatever they do. They are just not happy with whatever they do consistently.
Perhaps what they really want is more Certainty. They want their shots to be more predictable when they are playing.
Golf, by it’s very nature is unpredictable.
“No one knows what will happen in golf until it happens. All one can do is work and suffer and wait for fate.”
- Bobby Jones
