Forget about the past. Very little of it will do us any good. Forget about what is. By the time we recognize what is, the is-ness is already in the past. Forget about the future, as well. The future can only be experienced in the here and Now. In a very real sense, all thought contains the illusion of time, which is why the present moment becomes the most powerful starting and finishing place for everything in our lives.

SCIENCE ON THE LESSON TEE
“That’s not possible!” a professor at Stanford University. His specialty was, I believe, quantum physics, he was a little nervous when he first approached me because he started making jokes about subatomic particles and black holes.
What was “not possible” was what I told him, after watching him hit a couple balls. I simply said, “You don’t have to bend, cock, break or hinge your wrists during the back swing.
“But everybody, EVERYBODY says you …” he sputtered. I held up my hand, suggesting he calm down.
There’s just something about the game of golf that, after all these years, I have yet to figure out. So often, when golfers first come to me, they are convinced that the laws of science, of physics and physiology, just don’t apply to golf. They obviously think that golf falls into something called “the suspension of disbelief.” Like a Spiderman movie.

So here’s this quantum physics professor, who has been told by just about everybody, from instructors to golf magazines, you’ve got to cock your wrist. And I’m saying, “No you don’t.”
I felt he was about ready to walk off the tee in disgust that he just paid me for a series of lessons. So I ask him, “Clubhead speed is generated through the law of centrifugal force, right?”
“Yeah, I guess so,” he replies and stops.
“If you tied a string around a rock and spun the rock holding the string. The string forms a radius of a circle and the radius has to remain constant to maintain the rock’s orbit, right?” I said. He was listening.
“Make the clubhead your ‘rock,’ the shaft and your left arm the ‘string.’ To achieve maximum centrifugal force, which equals clubhead speed, you must keep the shaft, left arm and wrists STRAIGHT. Yes, you can allow the pull of the club to stretch and flex the muscles of the arm at the joints, but DON’T bend the elbow and wrist,” I said.
“Yes,” he mumbled. He was looking at his “string,” his club and left arm.
O.K., Mr. Black Hole Expert, here’s the clincher. “If you bend, break, cock, hinge or set your wrist at top of backswing, you’ll come under the ‘Number One domino Effect.’ You know what that is, right?”
“Of course. It’s a chain reaction that occurs when a small change causes a similar change nearby, which then will cause another similar change, and so on in linear sequence,” he said, like he wrote the book. Maybe he did.
“Very good,” I replied. Do you know the Number One Domino Principle?”
He shook his head “no.”
“The only good wrist cock is NO wrist cock. If the left wrist breaks, the entire swing begins to break down. You MUST do everything possible to keep the left wrist flat and relatively straight throughout the swing. This keeps the clubhead in a wide and constant arc which will return it squarely to the ball. You’ll feel like you have shortened your backswing. That’s good. At the top of your backswing your thumbs will be perpendicular, 90-degrees, to the ground, and you’ll only be doing a three-quarter turn. Follow that ‘three-quarter, thumbs-up rule’ and you’ll achieve maximum clubhead speed, consistency in your ball striking, and accuracy.”
“That makes so much sense! I never considered applying physics to the golf swing,”
