Joe, were you self-taught or did you learn from others? What was the most important thing you learned?

Hi Sammy,
I am mostly self-taught, but I did learn some important things from others. In this game you never really stop learning because we all have slumps and we need to know how to get out of slumps. The most important thing I learned was while playing with my first 7-club set I was always faced with shots that were in-between distances, so I had to either swing harder with a shorter club or easier with a longer club. My results were always better by swinging easier with the longer club. Then when I was able to afford a full set of clubs my game was in pretty good shape because there were fewer in-between shots and I already learned the hard way that swinging too hard seldom produces good results.
