Deep Play?

"Deep Play is the 'Play of the Game' that is lost to players who embrace long periods of mechanical practice as the most essential part of training." 


How does that grab you?  The 'Play of the Game' is what drives this blog, and it certainly includes swing mechanics.  But, somewhere along the line with all the launch monitors and videos and 3-D swing analyses, it seems no one is playing the game anymore.  Just what does 'playing the game' mean?  That's the key question. 


Players still fail on the golf course, even with massive amounts of practice.  Vijay Singh is one of the most renowned and revered 'practicers', but has he perhaps limited his success by what he practices? 


With Deep Play, we're going to explore what it means to 'play' golf, and how to effectively 'golf' your ball around the course. 


“The true difficulty in golf is not in repeating a swing. It is the belief that for ball control on the course you must repeat the same swing.”

 

What does it mean to you to Play Golf?
