In the Swing of Things.(golf instruction)
Fred shoemaker, my golf coach for the next three days, hands me a five- iron and turns on his camcorder.
"Whenever you're ready," he says, "hit a ball."
It would be easier for me to hit the ball with his camcorder. That's the kind of golfer I am, which is why I've come to his golf school in Carmel Valley, California. I have come because when it comes to golf, I am, to use the technical term, a spazz.
But I grip the club and swing. And during the entire second-and-a-half- long action, I'm thinking, Relax your body, be natural, remember where the club head is, fix your grip, rotate your hips, keep your head down, where's the club head again? Left arm straight, don't rush, focus on the ball, where's the club head? Remember to shift your weight, follow through, here comes the release and where's the damn club head?
The ball skitters off to the left and crashes into the bushes.
"Great!" Fred says. "How did that feel?"
"Ummmm, well, I guess I kind of topped it," I say.
