Lessons from today’s trip to the golfing range

‘How can I help you’

‘I cant hit with a 9 iron’

‘What do you mean you cant hit with a 9 iron’

‘I mean exactly that. I can never hit the ball properly with the 9 iron’

‘Can you hit with all the other irons?’

‘Yes, except the 9 IRON’

‘Ok, lets do it this way, give me the clubs, I will hand you the 3 then the 5 then the 7 then the 9 and then I will see what’s going on and see how we can correct this problematic 9 iron’

‘Ok, lets’

He hands me a club I hit the ball well.

He hands me another, I hit the ball well

He hands me another, I hit an amazing shot

Then he says ‘what club was that’

I assumed we were going in the order he has previously mentioned, I say it was a 7 iron

He says check…

Lo and behold, I had just hit a great shot with the dreaded 9 iron!!!!!

He says, ‘you probably had one or two bad experiences with the 9 iron and convinced yourself that you can’t hit with it. Its all in your head. You can hit with the 9 iron, you can hit with any club’.
