How many times have you seen these ? “Buy our product and boom your drives 30 yards further”
“Never miss a fairway or green with these anti-wayward clubs”
“Knock 10 shots off your next round………the easy way”
“Develop a perfect swing in ten minutes…..”
If it were that easy we would all be playing Tiger Woods every Sunday afternoon.
It’s not that easy and we all know it’s not, but golf is the most fantastic game on earth.
A while ago I played directly behind one of the most competitive games I’ve ever seen, father, son and grandson playing a skins match, ages ranging from about 15 to 60, I’ve no idea what their handicaps were but I don’t know any other game where a boy and his grandfather can play against each other so competitively. Each accepted the other’s handicap as a reflection of their ability and the competition was fierce.
After my game the three ball was in the clubhouse I said to the boy, “you looked to be playing well, did you win?” The grandfather replied, “knowledge and experience usually beats youth and enthusiasm, he may out drive me by 50 yards but I just outputted him”. The boy was quick to add, “He’ll never be able to drive as far as me, but one day I’ll be just as good a putter as he is, then he’ll never beat me”.
The point of the little story is: GOLF is a game for life, a game that is competitive whatever your age or ability, because of the universally accepted handicap system.
Most golfers want to improve, but how?
Do they buy the latest driver with the expectation of effortless booming tee shots or the latest anti-wayward shot clubs?
Many golfers do, spending ever-increasing amounts of money on the latest equipment.
Have you noticed the booming driver never seems to come with the anti-wayward feature? And the anti-wayward clubs cure a slice but develop a hook or visa versa.
Many golfers look for the latest “quick fix”, to knock those precious shots off the card, only to find a few weeks later they are looking for the next quick fix.
What’s the answer?
Throwing money at anything rarely makes massive improvements, and quick fixes are usually just temporary measures.
To make significant improvements golfers need to start with the right mindset, a mindset that is focused on making long-term permanent improvement.
There are many different parts to golf, driving, iron play, pitching, chipping, bunker play, putting, to name a few and each presents it’s own challenges.
Each part of the game should be addressed individually as slightly different “rules” apply to each one.
The FIVE BASICS that must be adhered to for ALL golf shots are:
AIM, GRIP, BALL POSITION, STANCE & POSTURE.
Making systematic improvements to any or all of the “basics” in your set-up will give you far more improvement than buying the latest gizmo or quick fix.
You would not expect to have the same AIM, GRIP, BALL POSITION, STANCE & POSTURE, for a drive and a putt, each shot has it’s own set-up “rules”. When you have the knowledge to implement each set-up and shot execution your game will improve beyond recognition.
So what’s the difference?
The difference is “SELF DEVELOPMENT”, look within yourself, knowledge is power, whatever knowledge you gain is yours, how you chose to use it is also yours, once you have knowledge no one can take it from you, and very importantly knowledge gives you confidence.
Where do you start?
http://hopurl.com/64578Once you have a “focused mindset” to make yourself a better player, you need the right source of information.
If you want to improve your scores and start winning putting is a good place to start, because undoubtedly the easiest part of golf to improve is putting.
The “rules” for good putting are very simple and straightforward, you just need to know what they are.
It’s worth taking a few minutes to have a look at the webpage (link below).
The page contains several impressive videos of a young emerging Tour Player.
There are videos of chipping, pitching, and some very impressive shots into a par 3 green in very windy conditions.
As you can guess from the webpage title the emphasis is on putting, with several putting videos, covering all aspects of improving putting.
The aim of the webpage is to promote an e-book written by the Tour Player.
Containing over 140 photographs the e-book covers everything from holing out to long putts, distance control, reading putts, uphill and downhill putts.
Take a quick look I’m sure you’ll be impressed.
