在秘笈里Hogan先生一再强调要把球打好其实并不是一件很难的事。他相信任何一个正常人，只要通过正确的训练，要达到下面这个水平是指日可待的事：

Once the average golfer is properly started on the correct method of hitting the golf ball, he will begin to improve and to feel that improvement, and he will gradually find that he is able to hit fine, full shots and to hit the ball high, low, draw it, fade it, play sand shots, recoveries, half shots - ALL WITHOUT CHANGING HIS SWING. The swing itself is what gives you this feel for managing this full variety of golf shots.

As he improves, the average golfer will enjoy the game more and more, for a correct swing will enable him to re-discover golf. In fact, to discover golf for the fist time. He will have the necessary equipment, the full "vocabulary" for golf. He's going to see a different game entirely.

He will, in short, absorb the spirit of the game. When he hit a poor shot and leaves himself with a difficult recovery, he will respond to the challenge of having to play a difficult shot extra well in order to make up for his error. If there's a small opening to the green, he will respond to that challenge of having to hit a more accurate shot than he usually does or pay the just consequences. He will feel this way about golf because he will know he has an essentially correct, repeating swing and that he can, with moderate concentration, produce the shot that is called for. He will make errors, of course, because he is human, but he will be a golfer and the game will be a source of ever-increasing plreasure for him.

看完这段话，我得到了很大的鼓舞。

但愿他老人家不要忽悠我啊！
