“Always Try New Ideas” – Butch” (Harmon). (Golf Digest, Dec. ’19)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Firstly,
\nAlways<\/em> <\/strong>– : at all Times, :FOREVER
\nSecondly,
\nTry<\/strong> <\/em>– : to subject to something (such as undue strain or excessive hardship or provocation) that tests the powers of endurance
\nThirdly,
\nNew<\/strong> <\/em>– : beginning as the resumption or repetition of a previous act or thing, : different from one of the same category that has existed previously
\nFourthly,
\nIdeas<\/strong><\/em> – : an indefinite or unformed conception, : obsolete : an image recalled by memory<\/p>\n

Always means unceasing. My interpretation is that Butch believes we should never settle on one course of action or underlying structure because there are only three structures, Open, square, or closed. So few do not lend themselves to clever manipulation. Only numerous, unending, myriad, et.al. movements provide fodder for golf instruction chicanery.<\/p>\n

Try means attempt. Again, my interpretation is that Butch wants us to try one idea after another without looking for one, base, structural or philosophical truth. The parable, “Castles built on sand” comes to mind. If golfers have no foundational connection, instruction’s contractors are guaranteed constant work.<\/p>\n

New means not remembered. “There is nothing new under the sun” does not apply to our instruction industry. Because, if the words used to explain are different, the explanation is deemed to be different. Hence, selling the same information in a forgotten collection of words is clever. However, brainpower spent on wordplay is wasted for research. I posit that fear is the greater constituent of clever, because stepping away from the word herd has consequences. I have an metaphallegory… maybe, an allegetophor. You decide.<\/p>\n
