Abnormal Swing

I was in conversation with my supervisor, an avid golfer and gunsmith, when I mentioned my wide stance when using my 5-iron.

He thought that I should bring my feet closer together and bend my knees more. The broader stance removed the power that is generated from the turning of my hips during the back swing.

I asked if longer clubs could let me have less of a knee bend, and the boss replied that most people take the same club length, and asked me to stand next to him so he could compare the heights of our knuckles from the floor. Apparently, the knuckles of most men are the same distance off the ground, but when we stood side by side, my knuckles were 3 inches higher than the boss's.

He used the word abnormal; I prefer...exceptional!

Later, Mushers!
