"Sustain (Yang/陽) the lag (Yin/陰)" is "the unification of Ying and Yang" (陰陽合一).
The "LAW" creates the "effect", which is the "motion" or "feel", with the "cause", which is the "intent" or "command".
"Lag" is the secret of golf, passion is the secret of life.
Think as a golfer, execute like a robot.
Rotate, twist, spin, turn. Bend the shaft.
Hogan said that swimming wasn't good for golf but I've never found that myself.
Perhaps the fitness experts can answer this one.

I wouldn't have thought so from a fitness perspective but I may be wrong. They used to say that weight training was bad for golf and look at the players nowadays?
So could be a fish wives tale.

If anything, swimming should HELP your golf swing. It utilizes and strengthens your rotator cuff muscles in your shoulders as well as strengthening your triceps muscles. Add to that the spinal mobility (especially if you do alternate breathing---one length breathing to the left, next length breathing to the right). Overall your conditioning of many muscles improves and it is a great aerobic activity. Don't be afraid of the water--jump right in!
Not only is swimming good but pool strectching in arthritic pool and hanging in lake in life vest to let everything come back to equilibrium and better balance really helps.
