Student: OK. Do I use this seven iron?
Golf Guy: Yes. It is easier to learn to swing than using a wood. We will try to use a wood later.
Student: I'm nervous and very tense.
Golf Guy: Golf is all about being relaxed. You are outdoors and nature is all around you. Try to feel loose and hold the golf club like you would hold a bird. Tight enough to keep it in place, loose enough that you will not hurt it.
Student: How do I swing the club like that?
Golf Guy: Imagine you are trying to swing a bucket half full of water without spilling. The swing needs to be a consistent speed and a consistent movement not to spill the water. Use this thought for swinging that seven iron.
Student: I missed the ball! 
Golf Guy: No one ever said this would be easy.
