On Teacher's Day, when students nowadays celebrate and memorize their teachers scarcely, it reminds me of a great teacher of many great golfers. He is also the teacher of the inventor of a sand wedge, Sam Snead, a real golf coach of all time. Harvey Penick once mentioned some important concepts on the swing in his Little Red Book, which influenced greatly on the modern theories of golf swing and exactly match our dazzling 8 hues of the rainbow, included in the Grand 14. Here are what Harvey always emphasized with effort, an elegant version, in comparison to ours, the Great Grand 14 to the Humble 14, dedicated to the most respectable mentor Mr. Harvey Penick as well as all the great teachers in the world:
1. When I ask you to take an aspirin, please don't take the whole bottle. In the golf swing a tiny change can make a huge difference.
2. Most mistakes are made before a club is swung.
3. Looking up is the biggest alibi ever invented to explain a terrible shot.
4. Remember that because the number the iron is lower does not mean you should swing the club harder.
5. Don't relax. Be at ease. It is a secret of feeling 'controlled violence'.
6. All great players move their head slightly backward before and during impact, and, never forward.
7. I want the left thumb a little bit to the right. Byron Nelson told me it is one of the most improtant things he ever teaches.
8. Let the right hip take the club back and the left hip bring the club forward.
9. Try holding your right shoulder back as long as possible to give your left side a chance to get through.
10. Remember only one move when down swing: return your left heel to the ground and let your right elbow move back to your side.
This is one move, not two. Let your right elbow go back freely, but return it to your side when you start back to your ball.
11. The key of practice: Slow Motion Drill, one of the best swing practice methods ever. If you think you're doing it in slow motion, do it even slower. Very slow is the key.
12. The key of chipping: always have your hands ahead or even with the clubshaft. Always chip the ball if: the lie is poor or downhill, the green is hard, and the wind is influential. Otherwise you can pitch it.
13. The key of putting: always have your hands ahead or even with your head.
14. Posing after a good shot with all the weight on the left foot and the elbows out front of the body is what we want to carry out and remember on and off the course.
"Harvey has had on his students for many a decade. No one can help but enjoy being around Harvey. He is as comfortable as old pair of jeans, as unpretentious as a young child, pleasure to meet." ~ Tom Kite
