So, I kept hearing this name, Grace Charis, popping up online. People talking about her golf stuff. I’ve been playing golf on and off for years, mostly just hacking it around, you know? Always looking for maybe a simple tip or something. Decided I should finally see what the fuss was about.
Fired up the computer, typed her name in. Found a bunch of videos and pictures right away. Okay, yeah, she’s definitely got a presence online. Watched a few of her golf swing videos. She gets out on the course, hits the ball. The production is slick, gotta give her that. It’s not like those old fuzzy VHS tapes I used to learn from.
Trying it out on the Range
Thing is, after watching for a bit, I wasn’t sure how much actual golf instruction I was absorbing. It felt more like watching someone have fun playing golf, which is fine, but I was looking for that magic bullet for my slice, you know?
But hey, I thought, let’s be fair. I saw one clip where she talked about her takeaway, keeping it smooth. Looked simple enough. So, next time I went to the driving range, I figured I’d give it a try. Why not?
Here’s what happened:
- Got my usual bucket of balls.
- Warmed up a bit, hitting some wedges.
- Then I tried to think about that smooth takeaway thing I saw in her video.
- Focused on starting the club back slow and steady.
Did it work? Well, maybe? I hit a few okay shots. Hit a few stinkers too, same as always. Hard to say if it was the “Grace Charis method” or just me concentrating a bit more for a few swings. It didn’t feel like a game-changer, honestly. My slice didn’t magically disappear.
My Takeaway (the other kind)
So, after that little experiment, I spent some time thinking about it. This kind of golf content, it’s different. It’s definitely got eyeballs, gets people talking. Maybe it brings younger people into the game, which can’t be a bad thing overall.
But for someone like me, just trying to find practical tips to knock a few strokes off my score? I didn’t really find it there. It feels more like entertainment, personality, maybe a bit of lifestyle stuff mixed in with golf. The actual nuts and bolts of improving my swing seemed kinda secondary in the videos I saw.
Ended up just going back to my usual routine, focusing on the basics the old pro at my local course taught me years ago. It was interesting, though. Seeing how the internet has changed even something like learning golf. It’s a whole different world out there now.
