For some of us, they come way too often. Shots that leave you
wondering how on earth you're going to stay balanced enough to
hit the ball. Shots that aren't as simple as the instruction
videos make them appear. Let's look at some ways to handle some
of these tricky shots.
If you have to make an awkward shot, first think about how you
can swing without losing your balance and moving your head.
Secondly, think of the line your club travels along.
Before assuming your stance, note where the club ...

You hear this mantra in every sport ' keep your eye on the ball!
It's a perfect chant for the golf player at every turn. If you
can't see the ball clearly, your chances of hitting it are slim
to none!
When you look at the ball, you want to keep your eyes on one
spot. Don't look at your club to see if it's squared to the
ball. Don't let your eye follow the club as you draw it away
Just focus on the ball ' nothing else.
Also, when you look at the ball, try to get a bird's eye view of
it. Your ...

Golf swing exercises are the missing link to adding tremendous
power to your golf swing quickly. To be able to execute an
effective golf swing...golf swing exercises will enhance your
bodies abilitiy to move throughout the required ranges of
motion...enabling you to hit drives you know you are capable of.
The other reason why golf swing exercises are so important is in
the fact that a golf swing by its' very nature is a very
unnatural and awkward movement of the body and muscles. It

Yes, there truly is a "secret" of golf. Good players know it,
and use it almost subconsciously. The Golfing Machine describes
this "secret" as "Lag".
"It is simple, elusive, indispensable, without substitute or
compensation and always present".- Homer Kelley
What is lag? We've all heard this term. Lag can be defined as,
"trailing" or "following". Golf Instruction tells us we need to
have it but why?
In this article we will focus on "clubhead lag". Clubhead lag
promotes even and steady ...

How many of you have gone to the local pro shop or golf store,
bought the latest and greatest club, and found that it did not
help your scores at all?
I imagine all of us can say yes to this question at some point
in our golfing careers. The reality of this situation is that
new clubs will not necessarily improve your game. Don't get me
wrong! I enjoy getting new clubs just like you. I get all
excited when I get a new driver, putter, or even golf balls and
cannot wait to head to the range to ...

Weight training for golf is viewed by golfers as a lot of work,
time-consuming, boring and you need a gym membership to do it.
None of the above is true, and if you read this article, I'll
explain why.
You see...weight training for golf isn't on machines
anyways...so that eliminates the requirement of a gym. It's not
a lot of work, if you pick and choose the area you want to focus
on. It's not time-consuming if you do it in the convenience of
your home, and have a plan of action. And lastly, it ...

Golf s sometimes a frustrating game. Many have been known to
lose their cool after hitting a ball into the rough, a sand trap
or the water. Sometimes, the ball just seems to disappear. Tired
of wasting all that money on golf balls that don't seem to ever
come back? Try investing in some of the used golf balls
available online.
If you golf, chances are you've gone through your share of
balls. They seem to get lost all the time, and the costs mount
quickly. Even the best golfers routinely lose ...

Flexibility exercise for golf is a critical component to
performing a repeatable, powerful, and mechanically sound golf
swing. Senior golfers are the prime target to benefit the most
from flexibility exercise for golf.
With a declining level of both flexibility and strength, the
muscles of the senior golfer are not as pliable and responsive
to the physical demands of the golf swing.
The golf swing requires a higher level of flexibility to produce
maximum power. Turning your upper body ...

I've played with a lot of golfers who truly take the game of
golf seriously and a lot of golfers who don't. It's okay to have
fun out there, keeping in mind respect for other players who do
take it serious.
The tee box
Think of the tee box as a stage with a spotlight. Everybody gets
his or her turn to shine. Try to remain quiet and out of the
golfer's view, including your shadow that may hinder the
golfer's concentration at address. The best position to stand
when a player is addressing the ...

Golf exercise benefits are many. Golfers have struggled for
years with their games and have become very frustrated. I can't
tell you how many times I play with golfers who are about to
quit the game.
To explain golf exercise benefits to a golfer takes a little
convincing, but in a short amount of time they become believers.
There are so many I can't possible list them all in this
article, but you will be motivated to take this approach.
Some of the main golf exercise benefits are; improved ...

On our way back from a recent round of golf, Fritz and I were
discussing the way most golfers evaluate golf courses. We've had
this discussion before, and it inevitably gets around to my
heartfelt conviction that trees do not enhance the "golfing
experience".
Most golfers in North America assume that golf is not golf
without tree-lined fairways. If I am not mistaken, this is a
bias created by a century of ...

If you've read some of my articles in the past, we focused a
lot on training the body to help you provide more power,
consistency and accuracy to your golf swing.
Today, we are going to get a little more scientific. So hang
with me.
I am going to explain the biomechanics of golf. Biomechanics is
the study of human movement.
Using this definition in golf, it is essentially studying how
the body moves when swinging a golf club. Biomechanics is the
study what the skeleton, muscles, and nerves ...

Planning on becoming the next Tiger Woods? If so, the first
thing you might consider is getting some new golf clubs.
Choosing the right golf clubs can make the difference between
spending your time on the fairways and greens and spending your
time in the rough. Although famed golfer Ben Hogan once said,
"The only thing a golfer needs is more daylight", for my money,
having the right set of golf clubs runs this a close second.
First, I'll assume you aren't a pro. Otherwise, you probably
wouldn't ...

Golf swing trainer is a term you might think of for a training
aid that works on your golf swing. I've come up with a new
definition for a golf swing trainer. It happens to be what I do
for a living.
I won't take up this whole article talking about myself, but I
do want you to think of a golf swing trainer in a different
light after reading this.
You see'I've watched and read about the millions of golfers who
are in search of the 'silver bullet'. The 'magic pill' that will
give them the ...

Golf strength training is critical in slowing down the effects
of aging. Issues like rapidly declining strength, flexibility,
and endurance. The number of golfers who are middle age or older
is growing and they all want to play as long as possible.
In order to both slow the aging process AND play longer, you
need adequate levels of strength, flexibility, and other
physical abilities.
Golfers (and most others) lose as they age. The cause is quite
simple. They do not partake in any form of golf ...

Have you experienced this when you're bidding on ebay or other
auction site? You bid on an item, lets say used golf club sets,
you put you're first bid. Then you leave it for a while thinking
you'll be winning on the bid. After a while you checked it
again, then suddenly there's a higher bid... What? I need to get
that used golf club set, I'll bid higher!...
Then the cycle begins pushing the price to ridiculous prices.
Sounds familiar? If you haven't experience such thing, then

Generally, a set of golf clubs off the shelf isn't likely to be
a perfect fit for you. Manufacturers create golf clubs for folks
of average build ' whatever that is! Not only is everyone
different in their physical make-up, but no two players swing
exactly the same. So one golf club size definitely does not fit
all.
If your clubs are too long or too short, you're likely to have
problems. To find the right size clubs for you, try swinging
with a few different lengths. Basically, you choose clubs ...

Using a golf fitness video is a great alternative to going to a
gym. Just think of the time you're saving not worrying about
what you where or how you look or driving 20 to 30 minutes to
your local gym and then showering, changing and getting back
home.
Golfers are realizing that a golf fitness video is a great
shortcut to a better game, quickly. The great thing is'you don't
have to be young or fit to do it. I have golfers who are in
their 70's doing my golf fitness videos.
