Alright, let’s talk about this “steele dewald golf,” whatever that means. Sounds fancy, but golf is golf, ain’t it? You hit a ball, try to get it in a hole. Simple as that, or so you’d think.
First thing’s first, you gotta stand right. Posture, they call it. And how you hold that stick, the grip. If you’re all hunched over like you’re pickin’ cotton, you ain’t gonna hit nothin’ but dirt. Gotta stand up straight, like you got a bit of pride, even if you ain’t got much reason to. And that grip? Don’t hold it too tight, like you’re stranglin’ a chicken. Nice and easy, like you’re holdin’ a baby bird, but firm enough so it don’t fly away.
Now, about them feet. They say you gotta “anchor” your foot. Sounds important, I guess. Means you gotta plant that foot solid, like a tree root, so you don’t go wobblin’ all over the place when you swing. If you’re movin’ around like a goose in a windstorm, that ball’s gonna go anywhere but where you want it.
- Stand up straight, like you got some sense.
- Hold that stick gentle but firm, not too tight, not too loose.
- Keep them feet planted, like they growin’ from the ground.
They talk about “improving your form,” makin’ your swing all pretty and whatnot. I say, just hit the dang ball. But I guess there’s somethin’ to it. Swing smooth, not jerky. Follow through, don’t just stop halfway like you’re tired of the whole thing. It’s like choppin’ wood, you gotta swing all the way through, or you’ll just end up with splinters and a sore back.
And somethin’ about avoidin’ “doubles.” Don’t rightly know what that means, but sounds like somethin’ you don’t want. Guess it means don’t mess up too bad, get it in the hole quick, like gettin’ supper on the table before the menfolk get too hungry and start complainin’.
Then there’s all this talk about “strategy” and “course management.” Sounds like a bunch of hooey to me. Just look at the hole, figure out where you wanna hit it, and hit it. But I guess some folks like to make things complicated. They talk about the “short game” and “putting.” That’s just the fancy way of sayin’ hittin’ it close and then knockin’ it in the hole. Don’t need no fancy words for that.
Now, this fella, Steele DeWald, whoever he is. They say he’s a pro, plays this golf game for a livin’. Good for him, I guess. Means he can hit that ball pretty good. Probably spends all day out there, hittin’ balls and whatnot. Must be nice, not havin’ to worry ‘bout the crops or the chickens.
They say “practice makes perfect.” And I reckon that’s true for most things in life. You ain’t gonna get good at nothin’ sittin’ on your backside. You gotta get out there and do it, over and over again. Just like bakin’ a pie, the more you do it, the better you get. Same with golf, I guess. Go out there and play, even if you ain’t no good. You’ll learn somethin’ eventually. Even an old dog can learn new tricks, they say, though I ain’t seen it myself.
And they say play more “practice rounds”. Just you and the course. No pressure, no fancy folks watchin’. Just you and that little white ball. That’s when you really learn, when you ain’t worried about what other folks think. You can mess up, try new things, figure out what works and what don’t. It’s like learnin’ to drive a tractor, you don’t start in the middle of the field, you start in the empty pasture.
So, if you wanna get better at this “steele dewald golf,” or any kind of golf for that matter, you gotta pay attention to the basics, practice a lot, and don’t be afraid to mess up. And for goodness sake, don’t overthink it. It’s just a game, ain’t it? Just hit the ball and try to get it in the hole. And if you don’t, well, there’s always next time. Life’s too short to get all worked up over a little white ball.
And most important, have a little fun while you’re at it. If you ain’t havin’ fun, what’s the point? Might as well be out there weedin’ the garden, at least you get somethin’ useful out of that.
Accuracy they say, yeah well try tellin’ that to a rooster chasin’ a hen, it ain’t always gonna go where you want it to. You just gotta aim best you can and hope for the best, same as in life and golf I reckon.
