Quote/Joke of the week:

"You've just one problem. You stand too close to the ball - after you've hit it." - Sam Snead


Tip of the week:

Aim and Alignment:


Poor alignment is a common problem that I too had. Sometimes we can hit straight pulls and pushes that are solid but offline even if we are aligned properly. So first of all make sure that when you are aligned properly, this is not happening.

Also the eyes are not that reliable for alignment, especially when we are set up to the ball. I would suggest that you line up the shot behind the ball and then find something on the ground about five feet in front of the ball that is on your line. You can usually find a weed or piece of dirt or something. Sometimes this is dificult on the course so you want to practise at the range where you can throw a tee or something as your intermediate target. By practising this you can "get a feel" for proper alignment and it will be more automatic. When you set up to the ball, first align your club to the target, then your feet, and finally your hips and shoulders. Many people align their club and feet OK but their shoulders and hips are off. Use a club, or better, have someone else check your hip and shoulder alignement at setup.

Remember that your feet and club are about three feet away from each other, and your club and shoulder alignment are actually more important than your feet. So concentrate mostly on aligning your shoulders and the club. Then trust your alignment even if it looks strange from your eyes when you are set up.



Testimonial:

"I have used at least seven different gadgets to improve my golf swing. I have managed to reduce my handicap by 4 over the 6 years I have used these things. They usually end up in the closet. The LowerScores Manual is different. It helped me understand what it takes to score on the golf course. In one season I lowered my handicap by four more."

Dean, Florida


Recommended Product:

The following ebook is a reprinted classic from many years ago, and still has great relevance today. It is very informative about how to use your mind effectively to play better, and is also a good read with quotes from many of the great players of the past. The book shows you how to make conscious what the great players do unconsciously.

Using Self-Hypnosis to improve your game on the course is something every tour pro does even if they do not call it that. Here is a classic book that will show you how.

Subscriber feedback :

Last week we asked how you think the player of the year should be determined. The overwhelming majority agreed that the person with the most money and a major title was the best way. The other options in order were: most money, most wins, best scoring average, and winner of the Tour Championship.
