How to take your practice game to the course

Posted on August 27th, 2008 in

Ever wonder why it is impossible to duplicate the same relaxed
stroke you had while practicing when it’s “go” time?

It’s because your brain’s chemistry changes when you have to
perform and throws your game off.

When you play a round of golf and get caught up in the outcome,
your emotional state changes. This is why it is impossible to
duplicate the same relaxed stroke you had while practicing
because your brain’s chemistry changes and throws your game off.

I know, it’s frustrating for all of us so I wanted to see how PGA
Pros deal with it.

I spoke with five different pros about how they deal with this
issue and each had their own approach.

However, three of them pointed to one resource they use that has
helped them take their practice game to the course.

Enter Michael Anthony. He’s worked with Olympic Gold medalists as
well as several PGA pros on just this issue.

And as of late, he’s helped yours truly as well.

I don’t want to waste your time telling you all about how great
this guy is or what he’s done for those pros and athletes and
even myself because you can read about it yourself here:

This guy is the gold standard in mental performance strategies
and frankly, if you haven’t heard about him, I’d be surprised.

Could You Putt Those Greens at Augusta?

Posted on April 10th, 2008 in

Masters week is upon us and this could be one for the record books in my opinion. But honestly, the best thing I love about this tournament is the greens.

The greens at Augusta are about as good as they come. Slick as all heck and undulating. As quoted by one reporter yesterday “No one was holing a thing outside six feet.” If you’ve ever putted on really fast greens you know what they can do to your confidence.

You can relate I’m sure. I mean most of us are happy to get the ball on the green in regulation right?

But when you’re faced with really fast and sloping greens, position of your approach shots is at a premium as well as distance control on your putts and pinpoint accuracy with your line.

So what does this mean for YOU and your game? Well, while you may not play greens as fast as the Masters, you can certainly get a lot better at putting in general if you learn to putt well on fast greens.

Which is why I’m excited to announce we’ve got a new shipment of our best-selling Putting DVD back in stock.

We’ve been sold out of them for about 4 months now so it’s been a long time coming but they’re finally here!

So, if putting is not your strength or you simply want to learn the easiest way even an out-of-shape old golfer can cut strokes give it a look!

And let’s hope none of those guys putt the ball of the green at Augusta!

Getting Out Of Bunkers… Every Time

Posted on September 6th, 2007 in ,
If you waste strokes on the course because of poor sand play,
you’ll want to pay attention to this email.
Over the next week, I’m going to be revealing to you exactly how we
have been teaching students here in Scottsdale, AZ. how to get out
of bunkers consistently.
We’ve got some great videos coming your way over the next few days.
Online Video 1 - Bunker Setup
Online Video 2 - Bunker Backswing
Online Video 3 - Bunker Downswing / Follow through
We’re putting the finishing touches on these today, and we’ll be
getting them out to you in the very near future.
Sand play is all about understanding the method and having a
consistent strategy for getting out.
We’re going to be showing you:
- How to control distance without changing your swing or the club
you’re using
- Why a vertical backswing is so important in order to get out of
the sand
- Why you absolutely must turn through the ball correctly on the
follow through
The videos will explain all of this in-depth.
Many times, sand play doesn’t get as much attention as it deserves
because it’s fairly hard to practice. But bunkers can add up to 6
strokes on a typical round of golf for those that can’t get out on
demand.

Not everyone is meant to be on the fairway.

Posted on March 8th, 2007 in ,

Not everyone is meant to be on the fairway. I am one of those individuals who fairs better in the lounge than on the course. Learning to play golf was never on my list of things that I would love to accomplish. However, being married to an avid golfer nudged me in the direction of the greens.

My husband has no idea why learning to play golf is such an unappealing task for me. I am Scottish which makes him seem to think that the sport is in my blood. Nothing is further from the truth. I avoid learning to play golf at all cost. Even when I am part of an outing event I still stay away from the clubs.

The annual golf outing for Rumor’s Bar and Grill falls in the month of May. I use the event to raise money for autism research. The owner of Rumor’s is great. His favorite cook on staff is a young autistic man who really knows his way around the kitchen. I mentioned that I wanted to get out of learning to play golf even though I signed up to play.

Fortunately, the person who runs the annual event came up with a great idea that would require a selfless person to give up her spot on the greens to raise money for autism research. I got out of learning to play golf but I did get stuck sitting in a golf cart for eight hours. Believe me, it was worth it.

My job was to collect money for a drawing for a Big Bertha club that they were giving away for our cause. Part of the drawing involved the person’s ability to hit the ball closest to the flag on the 18th hole. Individuals who got closer received more tickets for the drawing. Learning to play golf would not have been nearly as much fun as watching everyone try to get a hole in one.

Actually, it was really boring but the entire sport is boring to me all the way around. That is until my husband showed up wearing a kilt. He looked hilarious and it really made my day. He said that he would wear the crazy outfit again if I would take some golf lessons. Learning to play golf did seem a little more appealing after all. If was willing to dress for the event I should at least give it a try.
