06 HOW TO STRIKE

Dan: There’s a man I’ve observed down at Tokyo bay, who goes there daily to practice his golf. 
He has no club. No balls. Only a used plastic PET bottle. Yet he stands for hours on the waters edge. Teeing up his shot, taking aim, swinging in the wind.

Like a musician, running scales in his mind. Like an athlete working out.
The fight is won in the gym, before you even step foot inside the ring.
 
The music is a single live take, improvised by Max ZT at our show at St George’s Bristol, UK – Nov 2021 by Vince Iddon - Moth Wing Music

lyrics

6. HOW TO STRIKE
 
Down at the bay
his tall frame casts a long shadow in the afternoon sun
he settles himself and prepares to play
 
A gentle brush on the ground
the leading edge starts to hit
rolling his shoulders back
he prepares to strike
 
swing to the back
move the triangle
square your clubface
back and forth over the shoulders
keep the width,
maintain balance.
 
How to
How to
How to
How to
  
Still as the water
a simple movement
a common, yet vital shot
will he pull it off?
