If You Have The Ball Above Your Feet ......

If you find your ball on a side slope, don't panic. These simple changes to your posture, aim and club selection will allow you to hit an effective shot.

Posture
Because the ball is above your feet you will need to stand a little further away from it and stand a little taller than you would normally.

This will encourage you to swing more around your body with a flatter swing plane which is necessary to sweep the ball cleanly off the turf.

Aim
From this sort of lie your shots will tend to move right to left in the air. You must aim to the right of your target to accommodate this.

Club Selection
Because shots that draw in the air (i.e. move right to left) fly and then run further than all other shots, you will probably need a shorter club for this shot (a 7 or 8-iron for a 6-iron distance).

Long irons are the most difficult to control from this lie, so you might be better off laying up short.

Swing Thought
Maintain your height and keep your head steady as you play this shot. In your practice swings sence the flat swing which lightly brushes the grass - then duplicate it to sweep the ball away.

Five Steps to Improve your Bunker Technique

By Jack Moorehouse, Author, "How to Break 80 and Shoot like the
Pros"

Although hitting from a bunker is straightforward once you learn the
basics of stance and posture, the thought of hitting into a greenside
sand trap unsettles many golfers. Improving your technique reduces
the fear of bunker play and builds self-confidence in your shot-making
capabilities.

Assuming the texture of the sand is similar, and the ball is not
plugged, the technique for hitting out of a greenside bunker remains
the same for shots up to 30 yards (27m). The key to making this shot
is hitting the sand about 1 to 2 inches behind the ball, throwing the
sand forward with the ball. For longer shots the only thing that
changes is the swing's length. Rhythm and tempo remain the same.....Click HERE to read the whole article.

Golf Options: Hit Fairways Your Way

New Golf System That Explains How Setup And Swing Factors Affect Ball Flight And Solutions To Common Golf Problems.....Golf Options: Hit Fairways Your Way is a new and innovative approach to golf instruction. The reason that this book was written was to teach golfers (exactly as the title states) that they have options when they swing the golf club.

Not everyone has the same swing. Therefore, the same thing will not work for everyone. Golfers will have much more success if they experiment and fine tune their swing.

For example, many recreational golfers don't realize that they may have much more success if they moved the ball up in their stance a few inches at setup, or they took a weak grip versus a strong grip. They don't know these things because usually, they just pick up the club and swing.

This book is about laying out the options that golfers have, and the results that they can expect with various changes that they make to their setup. Many golfers use this book to help cure a slice, or to regain lost distance.....Click Here to sign up for the program now!

How to find the sweet spot of your drivers

Modern driver head sizes have increased and tees have become longer. This means that the golf ball starts higher off the ground than ever before. To hit the ball in the sweet spot consistently, the club head must come well off the ground at impact.

However, a traditional start with the club on the ground at address and the ball in the center of the face does not allow for the extra tee height. This can easily cause poor contact toward the heel. Fortunately there are two ways to combat this:

1) If you like to rest the club head on the ground at address, place the ball in line with the toe of the club.
2) If you hover the club head off the ground at address, position the ball in the middle of the club head

Improve Your Golf Performance With These 5 Tips

Improve your golf performance. Is this always on your mind? When you go out to golf you're hoping for a good round. I know I do.

How often does your outcome match what you hoped for? Do you usually shoot the scores you had envisioned before you teed off? If not, do you ever evaluate where and how you could have saved strokes and avoided those blow up holes?

I've got 5 easy tips for you to implement immediately that will improve your golf performance by shaving 4-6 or even more strokes off your score the next time you play. Give them a try and see what happens. Here they are:

1. First off you've got to put the proper fuel in your body before you leave home. Most golfers don't give it a second thought. They either don't eat at all before they leave home or they eat something that is not going to give them the long-term energy they're hoping for. So whether it's lunch or breakfast before you leave you need to consume a complex carbohydrate and a good protein source. This combination will warrant the best use of your energy for the long haul.

An example for breakfast would be a bowl of oatmeal and a couple of egss with a piece of fruit or a juice. For lunch you could have a turkey sandwich on whole wheat with a piece of fruit. Lot's of lettuce on the sandwich and try to avoid mayonnaise or butter.

2. The second tip is to properly warm up your body before you even hit your first ball. I see so many golfers show up 5 minutes before tee time, hack a few balls and head to the first tee. Those golfers are headed for a double bogey right off the bat - but hey they're just getting "warmed up" right?

A better approach is to give yourself at least 30 minutes before your tee time. First do some dynamic (movement oriented) stretches to prepare your body to perform. Things like arm circles, partial squats, toe touches, etc. Then take some half swings with a 7 iron. Now after that you're ready to hit some wedges. You'll find with this approach your hits on the range will be much better, which will build your confidence.

3. Drink lots of water even before you leave your house. Try to consume up to a gallon of Water before you get to the course. This will help you absorb and digest your pre-game meal and hydrate your muscles for optimal performance. Don't take this lightly. Dehydration causes energy loss, lack of focus and concentration and fatigue later in the round. And remember, that's before you even come to the course. Once you get their you should be drinking water every hole.

4. Don't wait 'til you get tight to stretch on the course. You should be constantly moving your body and stretching your joints while you play. I see and hear too many golfers complaining of tight lower backs or shoulders during the round, What amazes me is that with all that complaining they do nothing about it. Why? Think of your body as a machine. If the machine starts to break down - fix it. I mean stretch those areas while you're playing. You'll see a big difference in your swing mechanics late in the round.

5. Snack while you play. No I don't mean the full meal at the turn with a beer. I mean bringing fruit and nutrition bars to eat every 4-6 holes. When you supply your body with the proper nutrients your energy levels stay balanced and you will avoid those mental lapses late in the round. How many times have you had a good score only to blow up late in the round? I'll bet more than a couple of times. I know I have. Treat your body like a Ferrari not a Ford Pinto.

These tips if applied, will definitely improve your golf performance!

The Medicus: a golf club with a double hinge

Dr. Kilstein's message:

The first time someone showed me the Medicus Swing trainer,
I thought it was invented by a sadist.

If you've never seen it, the Medicus is a golf club with
a double hinge.

If you do not swing exactly correctly, the hinge collapses
and the golf club folds.

And is left dangling in your hand. And your face turns red.

Like mine did.

That trainer allowed for no lee-way. Swing out of line at all
and it flops over like a piece of overcooked pasta (unless
you're on Atkins.)

But when no one was looking, I picked up a Medicus this week.

It lasted in my house for about 24 hours until it was "borrowed"
by Jeff, a neighbor.

Jeff's handicap is a 5. I was watching as the trainer kept collapsing
on him.

There was a smile of frustration on his face. He knew what the Medicus
wanted him to do. In a few minutes, he was swinging
consistently without the club breaking.

The Medicus wants a perfect swing plane. It is adjustable depending on
your level of skill but even if you tighten it up, it's still pretty
strict.

It sells on the net and elsewhere for $140.

You may love it.

You may hate it.

Jeff, can I have mine back?

Listen to what Dr. Kilstein has to say:

"In the past, I would've stayed mad for four holes, but that was
everything I promised myself I wasn't going to do when I came out on the
Senior Tour.  About midway through last year [1994], I made up my mind that
I was going to play golf and enjoy it."  Bob Murphy 1995

When Bob Murphy changed his emotional response to his golf game, great
things happened.  He went on to win four times in 1995.

Emotions affect our desire to drive for show, putt for dough,
and hit the best approach shots possible.

Everyone has seen people lose it on the course. Balls, clubs, golf
bags end up in the water.  People mangle their Big Bertha drivers after
blowing both another drive and their cool.

Everything you do on the course is affected by your emotions.

The best golfers are in control of their emotions.

They don't ignore them.  They don't pretend they are not there.
They acknowledge them and deal with them.

What are some of the factors involved in emotions:

1. Expectations.  Tiger Woods does not drive every shot with perfect
accuracy.  One of my clients came in all excited on the day of the
British Open after Tiger lost his ball on the first hole.  "Today I played a
shot as well as Tiger."
Do you have realistic expectations on the course?  What is driving
those expectations?

2. Perfectionism.  Look at your palms.  Do you see any nail holes?  No?
Good.  That means you are not perfect.  If you expect your golf game to
be perfect, you are bound to be disappointed.

3. Injuries.  If you play with an injury, not only will you stress your
body, you may also stress your game.  Take care of your body to play
your best golf.

4. Tiredness.  Golf is a mind game.  You need to recharge your mental
batteries on the links.  Listen to your favorite music.  Take a break.
Smell the breeze.

5. Personal Issues.  If there is "stuff" going on in your life - your
job, your homelife, etc.  Don't be suprised if it affects your game.
Hey, you're human.  The more you deal with the issues, the quicker your
handicap is going to head down.

If you are not managing your emotions and stress, they are going to
manage you.

Only regular work on your emotions is going to produce the results that
you want on the course.

Most of the great golfers have hobbies aside from golf.  Do you?
