We learn to ride a bike by feel. Is it the same with golf? But more difficult - more mechanics. But a feel must be personal and one's own. I can't have anybody else's feel. But the mechanics and alignments can be the same. But with wrong mechanics we can get a wrong feel, I fear. So we have to know what we are doing. But is there a limit to how much knowledge of mechanics one must or can have so that it doesn't interfere with the feel we want to develop?

I used to play regularly with a guy who was very good and had been playing since he was 5. I had picked the game up in college and was still looking for the "how to" instructions.

I once asked the guy what his right knee was doing. He said "I don't know, and further more I DON'T WANT TO KNOW!" He just knew how his swing felt and didn't want to be thinking about it during the swing...
