5 Introduction 21 Days to Golfing Freedom! According to the National Golf Foundation, every year, there are one million golfers who quit the game forever. The average golf score of around 100, which is 28 shots over par, has not gone down over the past 30 years even with all the advancements in technology. Why is this? I believe it is because golf instruction has lost its way. It s fixated on club positions and body parts and their incessant working on what s wrong with the golfer s swing. The more technology is introduced into the sport, the worse golfers get. The way golf is currently being taught goes against how humans learn. Let me share an experience I had a few years ago that will illustrate this. One day, I had three students at a driving range in Palm Desert, California. I was working with them, teaching them how to do this with their body and that with their body. There were six teachers to my right and two teachers to my left. I was sitting in a chair giving the students instruction after instruction. All I saw on the driving range was frustration. Balls were going everywhere. All the teachers were saying different things, and no one was hitting the ball at all where they wanted. All of a sudden, I had this epiphany a sort of outof-body experience. I can t even explain it. It was 1

6 so clear at that moment. It wasn t what we were teaching that was the problem; it was how we were teaching. I remembered right then and there just all these flashes coming at once of my cousin back in New Jersey who was 10 years older than me; I was seven, he was 17. He had just gotten his driver s license, and he would come over three or four times a week. I d have my baseball glove, he d put me in the ready position and he would just hit baseballs at me. I d catch one, miss one, catch one and miss one. Never once did he tell me what I should or shouldn t do with my body. He just told me what the task was, and the task was to catch the ball in the glove, the body figures it out. Right then and there, I told my students, Stop right there. We are done for today. Then I realized that I wasn t helping anyone. Most instructors don t help golfers either because we re doing it wrong. I wasn t going to stop until I found something that was going to work. After about two weeks of not teaching anyone, I came across an instructor named Shawn Clement. His company is Wisdom in Golf. He s based in Toronto and he s all about teaching to perform a task and allow the body s wisdom to perform to the best of its ability and get out of the way. Let the conscious mind not do anything but just perform a task. I knew immediately I was on the right track. 2

7 I became his Director of Golf for Southern California. Shawn equates and teaches how we do other things: Hammer a nail, chop a tree with an ax. He uses these beautiful analogies to make his point. I took the best of the best of what he did, put a system to it, and here we are 21 Days to Golfing Freedom. Enjoy the book! I hope this book educates you on how humans really learn how to perform tasks and use tools. And I hope this book inspires you to throw out all your training aids and fire all your golf instructors because I can t teach you anything. You re going to have to learn for yourself. Don t believe a word we say, prove it to yourself. To Your Golfing Freedom! David DePula 3

8 Why So Many Golfers are Frustrated with Their Golf Game Susan: Good afternoon, this is Susan Austin, and I m super excited to be here with David DePula. David is the Director of Golf for Wisdom in Golf in Southern California. He s here today to give us his thoughts and ideas on how to cure your slice and your frustration and hit the ball like a pro. Welcome, David. David: Glad to be here. Susan: Why are so many golfers frustrated by their golf game? David: There s this instructor. He s really good and he has this video where he has these golf clubs. He hits a bad shot and he takes the clubs and he throws them in the water. Then you see another scene where he throws the clubs out of his car and he s backing up back and forth over the clubs. Then there s another one where he s in the woods and he throws lighter fluid on the clubs and he sets them on fire. That s what golfers all over the globe are feeling every time they try and improve their swing. Golfers are frustrated because golfers are always searching for the perfect swing but never finding it. Learning is evidenced by a change of behavior. For example, I may know intellectually that 4

9 cigarette smoking is bad for me, but until I change the behavior, I haven t learned or understood anything. Golfers are looking in the wrong place for the answers. They re looking outside of themselves. They re overloaded and overwhelmed with information, and unfortunately, most of it s wrong. One can t teach another a skill. One has to learn it through modeling and trial and error. Golfers are going against their naturalness. That is, they re going against the way the body moves and the way a human being learns a skill. In essence, they are breaking the laws of skill development. That s where the frustration comes in, and one never knows who has the right answers. You see somebody on television who s a famous person or a famous golfer and they may play great golf. They may only think they re doing a certain thing, but it s not really doing that. There are plenty of golf books from great players that are wrong. How would you know? You don t until you prove it to yourself. The instruction could be wrong and I do it over and over and over again, but I don t know that, so I think something s wrong with me. Golf instruction is fixated on trying to figure out how to hit the ball by micromanaging the club 5

10 positions and body parts, and that is not the way humans learn. Experience proves this is an exercise in futility. We are looking in the wrong place for the answers. This I know: If a golfer is taking swing lessons, buying training aids or watching The Golf Channel to fix their golf swing, there s one thing that is absolutely certain. They have not learned how to use a tool known as a golf club. The biggest mistake golfers make is that they do not treat the golf club like any other tool, much to their detriment. We have developed a method that teaches the golfers how to, once and for all, use the club the way it was designed to be used, and it will end their frustration. They ll cure their slice. They ll hit the ball like a pro without any technical overwhelm whatsoever because it will be them teaching themselves, not me teaching them. All I m going to do is give them instructions on the task and they ll perform that task all by themselves. 6

11 Don t Focus on Body Parts Focus on Cutting the Grass Susan: What will it mean to the golfers, who are frustrated and ready to give up the game, to be able to hit the ball like a pro? David: The ultimate scenario for a golfer is to know from their own direct experience that they can pretty much control the golf ball and have it go where they want it to go. When they miss a shot, they get that there s nothing to fix or nothing to figure out. The night before a round or even a match, they re not tossing and turning about whether they have the correct swing. When they show up to the driving range before their round, they re not experimenting with what s working or what s not working before their round. There s no anxiety there because they know from their own experience that it s just a grass cut, the ball gets in the way, so they hit golf shots. They get to the first tee and they know they might not hit a perfect shot, but they re going to be pretty free because they know from their experience that they re just swinging freely and then they hit the ball. It either goes where they want it or not, and they hit the next shot, the next shot, and the next shot. The whole round is anxiety-free. Why? They re not fixing their golf swing. They re playing golf, and the object of golf 7

12 is to get the ball in the hole in the fewest strokes. They re not playing golf swing. Most golfers are playing golf swing, not golf. The guys on TV are playing golf, not golf swing, and the ones who are not playing their best golf that particular week are messing with their golf swing. The ideal scenario is it s just a free flowing round, and they ll take what comes and not try to figure anything out. The freer someone becomes, the faster the club moves, the farther it goes, the straighter it goes, and it just frees everything up. The ultimate scenario for a golfer is freedom. After playing a round of golf, 18 holes, most people are exhausted. Not because they re physically exhausted, because they re mentally exhausted trying to figure out their golf swing or suffering the anxiety of Is this ball going to go in the water? Who s watching me? I can t swing this club when someone s watching me. The ultimate scenario is freedom. The by-product of that is a lower score, absolutely. So they can now hit the ball farther and straighter. They ll prove it to themselves and have almost complete control over their golf ball. The intangible or internal benefits probably are even better than hitting the ball where you want it. As I said, they ll begin to understand from their own direct experience that there s 8

13 nothing and I mean nothing ever to fix or figure out in their golf swing. This, as many of our students have experienced, is true freedom. The title of the book is 21 Days to Golfing Freedom; we mean that. They ll begin to have fun playing golf again, or perhaps for some, for the first time ever, because golf is not fun anymore for most people. A million people quit every year. I remember, way back when, one of my exgirlfriends said, You re no fun to play golf with, because as soon as I missed a shot, whether it was the first shot of the day, the 10th or the 20th, as soon as I missed a shot, I was trying to figure out what s wrong with my golf swing. You can t do that on the golf course. That is just like driving the car and swerving a little bit and you re trying to figure out why you re doing that. You re going to hit a tree or another car. You re going to kill yourself, and basically, golfers are killing themselves trying to figure out their golf swing. 9

14 The Grass Whip Method Susan: Talk to us about how they learn how to use the golf club the way it was designed? David: Our method is called the grass whip method because we use a tool called The Grass Whip, which is designed to cut the grass. If you re an old-timer you ll know what that is. The golf club is also designed to cut the grass, so don t try to figure out how to hit the golf ball. Don t even hit the golf ball. However, do this: cut the grass with a grass cutting tool, which is the golf club, and have the ball get in the way. Think of this not as an idea, but as an experience, and when one experiences it, they ll be amazed at the results. There are three essentials in order for the golfer to cure their slice and end their frustration, and use the club the way it was designed. They re going to have to adhere to the way humans learn how to use tools, which is to perform a task. Don t try to figure it out with the conscious mind and return to naturalness. Don t try to do something the body s not designed to do. That s how you learn how to use the club the way it was designed. Although the golf club is used to hit golf balls, it s designed to cut the grass. It s a grass cutting tool, and I use the word tool intentionally. 10

15 Experience shows there are two truths that no one can deny when it comes to human beings and tools. Number one, when learning how to use a tool, we don t use our conscious mind. A baby doesn t understand English or whatever language the mother or the parents are speaking. However, the baby puts a spoon in its hand and its food gets everywhere. Soon enough, it learns how to use it. It never has to learn how to use it again. It doesn t use the conscious mind. The same holds true if you re learning how to drive a car. You don t have to think about how to drive the car; you just get in and drive. Maybe an adult never learned how to ski same thing. You put the skis on and you fall many times and there you go. Your body learns naturally how to get down the slope. Number one, you don t use the conscious mind when you learn how to use a tool, and number two, once you learn it, it s always learned. Now, you may get a little rusty, like riding a bike, but you never really forget. Susan: Do you think there is the distinction between someone who has a natural swing and someone who s trying to force it? That s what this sounds like. David: The body moves a certain way, the body turns, like when you throw a baseball or when 11

16 you hit a baseball and the arms move up and down, the elbows bend, but there s no such thing as a natural born golfer. It s because golf is only a relatively new sport, relative to humans being on earth, so it s not really a natural swing. It s naturally the way the body moves, but really it s performing a task with a tool the way it was designed. I m going to say that over and over again. If you have a hammer and a nail, you re going to use the hammer part of it, not the claw part. If someone s trying to use the claw part to hammer a nail, they re going to be very frustrated. When someone s trying to hit a golf ball, they re not using the club the way it s designed. If they cut the grass with it, then the benefits will speak for themselves, the results will speak for themselves. Susan: This doesn t matter what kind of club iron, driver it s always the same? David: It s always the same. Now, if the ball s on the grass, obviously it s a literal cut the grass, but if the ball s on the tee, then one has to use one s imagination and say, Okay, the grass is really the top of the tee and I m going to cut the imaginary grass. It s still a grass cut, but it s a literal grass cut when the ball s on the turf, absolutely no doubt about it. There are three steps to the grass whip method. We have a training tool called a grass whip, 12

17 which is designed to cut the grass. Step number one is the golfer takes the grass whip in their hand and they walk forward let s say 10 feet while they cut the grass back and forth with the grass whip. Not trying to consciously do anything with their arms or their legs, and they ll find that automatically their arms and their body get in sync. They re coordinated, and most shots that are missed in golf are because of uncoordinated arms and body. The body gets ahead of the arms or the arms get ahead of the body. When one walks with the grass whip and cuts grass, one will feel perhaps for the first time the coordination between arms and body. Step number one, they walk 10 feet forward as they cut grass in front of them. Not to the right of them, not to the left of them, not behind them, but to the right of them, and baby cuts at first, just small little cuts. They get used to learning how to use that particular tool, which is the grass whip, and that s all there is to that. Of course, we do it in a systematic way, so we eliminate the conscious mind and distraction. Another benefit of walking while cutting is the conscious mind is occupied. Right now I m walking as I have the phone in my hand and I can talk to you, and I m not tripping over myself. It s the same thing. When a golfer walks with a grass whip and cuts, they can talk, they can do something else because the subconscious mind is doing it all on its own, and that s the body s wisdom. 13

18 The second step, we take another grass cutting tool, the golf club, and do the same exact thing. What we do is we put a tee in the ground and then we walk forward 10 feet and put another tee in the ground. I m just going to cut grass with the golf club back and forth in both directions with balance and rhythm, and that s all I m going to do. There are no balls to hit. Again, there s nothing to figure out, there s nothing to fix ever. This is the beginning of freedom, where there s nothing to fix, nothing to figure out, so their mind begins to free up and their arms begin to be free. Most missed shots are a lack of coordination of arms and body, and a hit s a violent thing. A cut through something, which turns into a swing through something, is very rhythmic. So that s step number two. In the third step, we do the same thing with the tees in the ground, except we do it only five feet this time. There s a tee in the ground, I walk forward five and I put another tee on the ground. Then what we do is put three balls on a tee six inches apart along that five feet. What it looks like is a tee in the ground, and then another foot there s a ball on a tee. Six inches there s a ball on a tee, six inches there s a ball on a tee, another six inches a ball on a tee, and then a tee in the ground. Just like when there were no balls, the golfer takes the club, cuts grass back and forth in both directions, but this time three balls are going to get in the way. 14

19 When someone first does this, it looks weird because it s uncoordinated, but in no time at all, the golfer takes that club because the task is very simple. There s one primary task, one primary aim. It s not to hit the ball a certain distance and it s not to hit it straight; that s irrelevant. The primary task is to cut the grass as they walk from the first tee to the last tee as three golf balls get in the way. Now, it sounds strange, but in no time at all, the subconscious mind figures out what needs to be done. When you first do it, people walk too fast and they miss the balls altogether. Some hit it in the other direction, but in 15 minutes it becomes easier. I had a student yesterday. Her name is Nikki. I think she was 71 or 72 years old, and she hasn t golfed in years. We put her through the 60-minute test drive, and in the beginning, it looked really weird and uncoordinated, and in no time at all, it was a beautiful thing. She was just cutting through the grass and the ball was getting in the way. Not as an idea, but as an experience that she could relate to. Then we put her on the video and she s saying how great it is. Ultimately, it s just cut the grass and the ball gets in the way. Let s recap. Step one is walking and cutting grass with the grass whip from one tee to the next, and you do the same thing with the other grass 15

20 cutting tool golf clubs. Without any balls, you just cut grass back and forth in both directions. Then we put three golf balls in the way and we walk from one tee to the next and just cut grass, and three balls get in the way. It s a beautiful thing to see how someone learns all on their own. All I do when I m there is give them the directions. I demonstrate first, and then I give them the directions. Then I shut my mouth, unlike that time I was in Palm Desert and just telling everybody to do this with your body, do that with your body. There s no frustration because they re not expecting anything. Then the last step is putting one ball on a tee. By the way, we use tees in the beginning. It makes it just a little bit easier when someone first starts the process. Then we take the tees away and then ball is on the turf and they re cutting the grass as the ball gets in the way. So the last step is to put one ball on a tee and instead of walking forward, they re walking in place. What does that mean? They re moving freely back and forth, their arms cutting grass in both directions as their feet are in place. Then they walk into the golf ball. Actually, this program is the only program in which we never have a target, because we don t want to have any expectation of what the ball should or shouldn t do. There s one ball on a tee. They stand just maybe six inches from it and put their feet in place and 16

21 freely move their arms and their body. They re cutting the grass back and forth. Then they step into the golf ball, cut the grass, and the results are absolutely amazing. A person can experience for themselves whether it was a hit of the golf ball or a cutting of the grass as the ball gets in the way. I ask them, On a scale from one to seven, did that feel like a grass cut without a ball? Seven was yes and one was No, I tried to hit that sucker. It s a beautiful thing to watch, Susan. That s how they learn once and for all how to use the golf club the way it was designed. Susan: I love this. We ve all had that one amazing shot that just went further and straighter than ever before and you swear you could never replicate it. The harder you try to hit it right, the worse you make it, but that one time you probably just randomly did exactly what you just described, and it went way farther and straighter than we ever imagined. Then we try to replicate it and we never can. David: Exactly, this is one of the issues that all golfers have, and even tour players have this. When they miss a shot, they re always going to try and fix it. What is wrong? What do I need to fix? There s nothing wrong. It s that you didn t perform the task that you were set out to do, and there are many things that are going to distract you. On the driving range, the distractions are 17

22 minimal, but there are still distractions. The number one distraction is the golf ball. If someone s new at golf, they tend to want to hit the ball. That s their aim, that s what they learned how to do. For example, each person who learned golf, they have their own specific way and let s say proclivities, the way they hit the ball. Some people and golfers will know what I m saying come over the top. Some people stop the golf ball, chicken wing, all kinds of things. However, when one cuts the grass and the ball gets in the way, everyone looks pretty similar. It s a smooth cut through a grass, but the number one distraction is a golf ball. It demands to be hit. It says, Hit me, hit me. There may as well be a red neon light blinking thing: Hit me, hit me, hit me, hit me, so one has to train oneself. That s why I m there, and we call it a special condition, where I m looking at them and saying, It s okay. You ve tried to hit that ball. It demands to be hit, but we have to replace, with the principle of substitution, hitting a golf ball with cutting through the grass and having the ball get in the way. Now when you re on the golf course and when the golf is on the golf course, how about these distractions? There are people watching me on the first tee. Now my task is to cut the grass and 18

23 have the ball get in the way, but now I have people behind me watching me. I have water on my left, I have out-of-bounds on my right, and then there s a ball distracting me, so I have four things minimum that are distracting me. Maybe the wind s blowing hard, that s five. All these things take us away from our task, just like if someone s driving a car and their eyes are on the road, and all of a sudden they get a text. Their task is to go from point A to point B using the vehicle, which is I guess a mechanized tool, and then they get distracted. They lose the task and next thing you know, they hit something. Hopefully not, but that happens. The crash in golf is trying to hit a golf ball, instead of using the tool the way it was designed, which is to cut the grass. 19

24 The Grass Whip Method Works for All Golfers Susan: Can you share with us some examples of someone you ve worked with who s gone through this process? David: I have a guy, John from Calgary, who wasn t an avid golfer, but golfs once in a while. His dad s a really good friend of mine and now he s a really good friend of mine, too. He came to a free workshop we put on. What we do in the beginning is take someone through a test drive. This is 60 minutes during which I demonstrate our process and philosophy to them. Then I put it right in their hands, so they can see the value and get the experience, or not, what they do. John comes down and we do the workshop, and he was just totally amazed: This can t be this simple! It is that simple, but not necessarily easy. He goes through the 60-minute free test drive and then he signs up for three strategic implementation sessions. He goes through walking with the grass whip, walking with the golf club, putting three golf balls in the way, and then doing what we call the freedom ball. He could not believe the results: the ball going long and straight, but most importantly, nothing to figure out. It s intangible, but the freedom is the best of all. 20

25 He said to me, When I go out and play when I miss a shot, I don t try to figure anything out. That s the best part of what we re doing here, is there s nothing to figure out. He says, I don t have to watch The Golf Channel. I don t have to look at a magazine or go on YouTube, because I know there s nothing to figure out. There s just a test to perform, and the more I perform that test over and over again and block out the distractions, the better it is. He calls me or texts me or sends me an , says, David, this is amazing. I just shot 85, and he was shooting 110 when I met him. His goal is to shoot par or better and he will because he has the drive to do it. Not everybody will, not everybody wants to. But the biggest benefit is that freedom which comes with knowing that there s never anything to fix or anything to figure out, ever again. Yesterday, I talked to Nikki, who hadn t played in seven or eight years. We put her through the free test drive and she signed up for the three 90- minutes sessions. She said, This is amazing. I never heard of this before. I said, Yeah, we just put a system to Shawn Clement s stuff and it s producing great results. As a matter of fact, we re not doing this out of the blue. We betatested this. 21

26 We tested this on ourselves and a whole group of people before we charged any money for it because we wanted to make sure this worked. And it absolutely works. There s no doubt about it, and one proves it to one s self. 22

27 The Mistakes Most Golfers Make When Trying to Improve Their Swing Susan: Let s talk about some of the mistakes you see golfers make. David: One of the mistakes I see is they have contempt before investigation. If the method or the source of the instruction goes against beliefs the golfer has, he ll never even give it a chance. Their cup is full, so to speak. For example, some people say, Okay, if you re not a PGA pro or if you re not on TV or if you haven t won the Master s, I m not going to listen to you. Well, that s fine, but that doesn t necessarily mean what I m saying is not true, so contempt before investigation. Then we talk about how simple it is and they say, It can t be that simple, it just can t be that simple. The mind is a barrier to learning, so anytime I m into body parts and club positions, we re in trouble. Another problem or mistake is chasing the next shiny object. Golfers, as a whole, are very susceptible to this. Someone wins a tournament; let s say a pro like Dustin Johnson won last week. Next week or two weeks later, he ll be on the front cover of Golf Digest or Golf Magazine with 23

28 the next move of how he won, or he s using a training aid and guys will think they need that same training aid to get better. They think they have a slice because they don t have good enough golf clubs so they go spend thousands of dollars on a new set, thinking a golf club that will cure their slice, but it doesn t. It can t because I can have the best hammer in the world, but if I keep using the claw end, I don t care how good it is, what s it made of it could be gold-plated, it could be solid gold it s not going to work. In the Western world, isn t it all about instant gratification? Even though our method is really simple and it works, it still requires effort. You have to have effort. This isn t an overnight fix. You will have to practice this and most guys just want to write a check and the problem goes away. We ll show you how, but you have to put in the work. That s why we say with this method, once you validate from your own direct experience that there s nothing ever to fix or figure out in your golf swing, then you own that. Knowledge is just information in someone s head, and understanding is experiencing the information or the knowledge from your own point of view, your own direct experience, and then understanding happens. I understand how to use the club the way it was designed because someone gave me the information. I applied it 24

29 and now I understand it for my own. I own it. No one can ever take that away from me. Thinking the new and improved golf club, the new driver that this company just launched, the new sand wedge, the new putter, you re going to sink more putts. Thinking the club is the answer. It s not. Back in the day, they used hickory shafts and persimmon woods, and the scores were just as good as they are now. They may not hit it as far, but the scores are the same. Why? Because if you don t know how to use the tool, it doesn t matter what the tool is. The manufacturers make money, but the golfer just gets their bank account drained and is on to the next one, on to the next one, on to the next one, and you become an addict. When s the next new fad in a method or the next club coming out? Another mistake I see is thinking a training aid is the answer. Most training aids are restricting something, trying to have your hands or arms or body in a certain place at a certain time in a certain position, but it s restrictive. Can you imagine that a baby can understand the language of its parents and number one, you put the spoon in the kid s hand and you tell him what to do with his arm and his elbow and you get this little device and you put it on its arm so it doesn t move in a certain way? That s insane. 25

30 If one training aid worked, there would never ever be a need for another training aid, and they re just a dime a dozen. I m not knocking it and I m not doubting the sincerity of the person who s trying to help other golfers. Our training device is a tool, so I don t use the word aid, and as I said earlier, I use the word tool intentionally because when it comes to a tool, we know two things and we re going to have to repeat them. Training aids cannot, will not, and will never work. It s an exercise in futility. Then lastly, golfers suffer from information overload. Your friend saw this video: Check this out! This is helping me, which it doesn t. All this stuff s on TV, all on YouTube, just bombarding you with more ways to hold your elbow or stance. I say even for persons going through our program, I don t just recommend but I demand because they re paying me for results that they go on an information diet. They are not allowed to watch The Golf Channel for instruction or go on YouTube. We call it 21 Days to Golfing Freedom. Give it 21 days. Put your training aids aside, put all other methods aside. Put the books aside; shut The Golf Channel off for 21 days. You can go back to it, but you won t need to because we have something that works because it s in line with the way humans learn. It s natural to learn to use a tool. Those are the three myths. 26

31 21 Days to Golfing Freedom! Susan: Very good, so if someone s interested in working with you, what s the process you take them through? David: It s very simple. We bring them in for a free 60-minute in-person workshop and we put them through the process. Walk with the grass whip, walk with the golf club. Walk with the golf club, have balls get in the way, and then do the freedom ball. I demonstrate everything first and give them a little context and then I put the tools in their hand and they have at it and they absolutely experience it. When they see the value, they want to continue. Then we have a program which is three 90- minute strategic implementation sessions, where they do the same thing. They get no more information from me, it s just me with them, guiding them, coaching them through the process of them learning themselves. So step one, 60-minute in-person workshop that s free. Then there s the second step when they decide to continue: three 90-minute sessions. After those three 90-minute sessions, are they going to hit the ball perfectly? Absolutely not, but they re going to be free. Why? Because they ll know from their own direct experience that there s nothing to fix and nothing to figure out. 27

32 Then as they continue to do it, continue to do it, continue to do it, they ll hit it longer and straighter, but those 21 days are for freedom. They re escaping from the prison, the labyrinth of information overload, wrong information and just frustration and, dare I say, suffering. Their suffering ends. That s what we have for anyone who wishes to check out our grass whip method. Susan: Where can they go to get information to get started? David: They can go to our website, which is Susan: If they have questions how can they get in touch with you? David: They can call extension 4, or they can contact me by Dave@WisdominGolfSoCal.com. Susan: I want to thank you for this David. I think a lot of people overthink their golf game and this letting go approach is really refreshing. David: It s why I m so passionate about helping golfers learn The Grass Whip Method. It fixes all of their frustrations once and for all. 28

33 Here s How to Teach Yourself to Hit the Ball Like a Pro with Zero Technical Overwhelm You already know the harder you try to fix your golf swing, the worse it gets. The difficult part is finding something that works, once and for all, without adding to your confusion and frustration. That s where we come in. We help golfers, just like you, cure their slice, end their frustration and hit the ball like a pro without ever talking about how to move your body parts! Step 1: Come to our free 60-minute test drive and we will teach you to teach yourself to use the club the way it was designed. Step 2: Commit to this method for 21 days, with or without our help, so you can validate this method for yourself. You will be amazed at the results. Step 3: Take your new found freedom and your new rhythmic and powerful golf swing to the golf course and start having fun again! When you are ready to stop the madness and start having fun again, send an to Info@21DaystoGolfingFreedom.com or call us at ext. 4 and we ll take it from there. 29
