The worst advice youve ever heard?

What advice does more harm than good. Keep your head down?

Fire the hips first!

Swing to right field - no doubt about it.

Pre-Monte.

Go ahead, it’ll be fun!

Go ahead, it'll be fun!

LOL, OP didn't say swing advice!

Just swing faster!

"Swing left" - the latest idiotic fad advice.

‘If you don’t start hitting it how I showed you we’re going home. No! Do it properly. That’s not properly! You’re doing this on purpose. Stop whacking it! No! Did I tell you to put it there? Did I? Where did I tell you to put it? No! This is the last time we come’.

start a thread on 'WRX and post a video. ;-)

Both funny and sad at the same time.

Even worse when the person being addressed is 3 years old.

"Ask her to marry you"

Hold the lag!

Try these lower compression balls, they travel 20 yards farther.

There's so many of them and many that I have espoused myself.

I think head down is probably the worst because it causes people to not seek quality golf instruction. They often end up just wanting to get the ball airborne which is caused by a myriad of other issues they have. Then they think if they keep their head down that will cause them to get the ball airborne consistently when it has nothing to do with it. And that's why they often don't get lessons...they think getting the ball airborne consistently is the result of doing something as simple as keeping your head down. And the sad part is that their head is indeed down at impact anyway.

Keep Your Head Down seems to limit motion of many who take up the game...

ROFL.

In that case, the not coming back part might actually be better for the rest of us. LOL

At the start of the downswing, pull the handle at the ball

"Your putting stroke is too stabby, you should develop a pendulum type stroke. Also, you should move the grip out of your fingers and into your palms." This advice was from a good (and well-meaning) player when I was a teenager, and it affected my putting horribly for 3-4 years. Now I have a semi-pendulum like stroke and am putting well, but still not as well as I did with a 1-inch follow through and a full-swing grip.

Swing real easy. You can always hit harder later, after you become accurate.

You have big hands so you need to overlap. You’ll never be able to play with an interlock grip.

Get wider on the backswing.

Bump and run with the ball behind your back foot. Hit down.

The list could go on and on.

Low and Slow

"You should join GolfWRX"

"You should join GolfWRX"

Now you're just being ridiculous. :taunt:

A pro once told me that he didn't care if I shanked a hundred balls doing a drill. I understood what he was implying, but I work full time, have kids, chores... I just wanted a 'little bit' better swing that was still functional for that one round every couple of weeks that I get the chance to play.

Hinge and hold for the short game!

Yep ... any tip without context is worse than one trying to figure it out themselves. If my swing is on then I can aggressively go at releasing the club, however, if it is off somewhat, then this just results in lots of hooks and slices for myself. And lets face it - Jack's swing is significantly better than most. What works for professional golfers cannot be taken per verbatim and coped onto hackers as us.
