If there is one piece of advice that every human being could benefit from whether or not you're playing golf is to relax. Eliminating tension in your body allows us to perform, act or just be the most authentic version of ourselves. One of the great challenges of golf is navigating the landscape of not only the golf course but the emotions involved in playing golf. Golf can present unique interactions that can cause anxiety and stress even though the game is supposed to be an enjoyable experience.
The above photo shows Sam Sead who many feel had one of the silkiest swings in golf. He said he always wanted to feel "oily" and was always keen on keeping tension out of his swing. He didn't use the "modern" swing of restricting body parts to produce a coiling effect, rather he focused on swinging the club. One look at his finish position compared to the wrap around look of many pros today shows that he didn't stress out his body. As a result he is the oldest man to win a PGA tour event at age 52 years, 10 month and 8 days.
Take tension out of your game and your life and watch how easy everything can become.
