Lower your golf score and increase your sales "Stop talking to the ball!" This is the advice to Randolph Junah from Bagger Vance - over and over and over again. Young Hardy Greaves doesn't understand it and neither do the people that ask him, "What is that fool caddy telling him?" The secret of golf is contained in the idea of not talking to the ball, because it illustrates the idea of surrender and that if you are prepared what difference does it make where the ball is? If you are not prepared then no amount of talking will change the fact that you don't have confidence in your game. During the final two rounds of the 2008 US Open golf championship, a number of TV people remarked that Tiger Woods always has the ability to make great shots and that he never seems to give up on trying to make a great shot. Most people think that this is a result of a unique feature of Tiger's personality, but a little history won't hurt you in understanding the true nature of why Tiger is so ready and that talking to the ball does not matter to him. You see as early as his participation in the US Amateur, at Torrey Pines golf course, when he was 16, Tiger had a sports psychologist as his caddy. When did you get your first coach? When did you realize that mind coaching and swing coaching are different? The whole point of the story of Bagger Vance is not that Randolph Junah has a caddy to help him pick out clubs, but that the caddy is teaching him a new Life Lesson and when he learns it the match becomes exciting. Randolph Juanh is inspired. What inspires him is that he feels his authentic swing - for the first time in his life. With Fernando Flores, Terry Winograd, who was a key player in the development of artificial intelligence at MIT designing robots and related programs, wrote in the book "Computers and Cognition" that people learn life lessons and remember them in their body, but that computers only learn what programers write. All during the golf match, in the story of Bagger Vance and Randolph Junah, Bagger says, "You are never going to be who you where." Junah had new life lessons as a result of being in a war and those lessons changed his golf swing and what he wanted in life. Bagger Vance was teaching Junah how to learn a life lesson so he could have fun playing golf. Isn't the end of the story all about the opening premise - "God is happiest when His children are at play." Isn't the book about how to enjoy golf and life?
