Howard’s Favorite Quotes and Great Influencers
I think one of the biggest mistakes people make is trying to delay the hit or release of the club. To me, it is impossible to release the club (uncocking your wrists) too early coming down.
Jack Nicklaus
Every golfer, at the bottom of his heart, wants to play the game relatively well. To do that takes some application, some thought, some effort, but the golfer who goes about this wisely will play good golf and go on to enjoy his golf increasingly the rest of his life. The greatest pleasure is obtained by improving.
Ben Hogan
When I describe a golf shot and gesture with one of my hands, it’s always the right hand I gesture with. That’s because golf is a right-handed game (for right handers), not a left handed game as some people believe. Hogan was empathetic about that. The right hand controls the position of the clubface, generates the speed, applies the touch, everything. All the left hand does is hold on to the club, and hopefully not break down on the downswing.
Ken Venturi
