Reddit reviews Golf for Baseball Players

Dude...trust me when I say this: the golf swing has a LOT in common with baseball. Did you ever play ball?

I'm an ex-baseball player but struggled with the golf swing until I took lessons from a guy who basically teaches golf in terms of the sports that ex-athletes might have played...especially baseball. The usual crap that people tell you about keeping your head down and left arm straight is BS too...don't listen to it. I'm killing the ball now, after learning a few things from my teacher.

Now, that being said, my GRIP is an overlap grip. But my swing is baseball.

Don't listen to any unsolicited advice people give you about golf because most people have no clue what they're talking about. If you ask for it, that's another story, but most people tend to chime in and it's annoying as hell. I was at the range the other day and was hitting well...I topped ONE shot...it's gonna happen. The fool in the stall next to me starts talking about me "picking my head up." Apparently he didn't see any of the other shots I hit.

Great book...helped me look at golf much differently
