Would you prefer to shoot 70 or 71?
What about a 71 while shaking well, or a 70 swinging poorly?
Padraig Harrington He says he knows what they would choose in favor.
“The players will definitely be happier by swinging the club well and shooting 71,” he said, “than to swing badly the club and shoot 70.
“It doesn’t make sense, but that’s the nature of the beast.”
Why? Thinking based on how players treat the form. On Tuesday, in front of the PGA High Championship, the great winner three times was asked how he measures it, and the question led to one back and short how, yes, a result card requires only results.
The players, however, make up more than that, Harrington said.
“I think we are caught because players who measure the form in how much control we have for our swinging, he said,” while the reality must be how well we are scoring and that is it. So I think that when you score well, you make good decisions, you do things properly, and it’s some kind of snow in the right direction.
“When you are focused on this – yes, so it must be really – the form must be based on results and that’s it. But I think as players we are inhaled by wanting to judge our game with the way we feel about our shake and how control we have. But the result is all that really matters at the end of the day.”
Still, Harrington said, players “pull in this game of Swing Rather Score”.
And what you “deserve to score”.
“What is what you scored,” Harrington said. “So we fall into that trap always trying to judge our result against what we think we deserved, which is not really important. It is what you have scored and that’s it.”
Do they deserve anything of the players?
No, Harrington said.
“That’s my goal, you don’t,” he said. “But the longer you play it, the more you feel like shaking it well and hitting it well, you have some predictions in such things, which is merit about it, but I think the fact is that you deserve nothing, and the result is all it counts at the end of the day.”
Here, Harrington had another scenario.
“If you were trying to teach a child and asked the young man how they played,” he said, “you would like to hear their result; you don’t want to hear,” I played well, but I had 36 strokes, “but we fall in that category always trying to justify that we are playing well.
“But at the end of the day, the result is the result in Golf, and that’s it.”
How much for other benefits? Steve stricker It was also asked about this topic and told Harrington’s thoughts.
“I think the form for me is how I’m hitting it, how I’m feeling about my swinging at the time, how the ball is going,” Stricker said. “I think if I am pleased to see my ball going a certain direction and continues to go in the same direction that I want it to go inside, then I feel like I am in good shape. Whether I’m hitting it brilliantly or not, at least the ball is doing what I want to do, and I can feel good about it.
“But I can see where Harrington would say the note is the last, and it is. You quarrel it and get a good result. But I like to see and feel good about what my swing is doing to feel like I’m in good shape.”
