Modern Golfers Are Not Afraid to Try New...
If you have been paying attention to the putting grip you may have noticed the thinking about the conventional grip has changed. Previously most golfers used a very conventional grip. Primarily the same grip as used on the other clubs except holding the putter in the palm rather than the fingers. This technique coincides with the thinking that putts should be made from the shoulders with a pendulum or rocking motion. It is debatable whether or not putts made from the shoulders roll better, straighter or truer. Shoulder putting is just more repeatable and therefore more consistent, primarily because it relies less on feel in the hands. Up until recently 20th century golfers putted from the wrist and...

Why Do Golfers Shout Fore?
Did you ever wonder why golfers shout FORE as a warning? This is what I found. Let us start with cadies, caddie or caddy. It is said that this term was developed an early British custom of having Royal Cadets carry the golf clubs of royalty. This apparently developed into the term a Caddie. Like wise the term Fore has been explained as a term used by the military to warn friendly troops that you were going to fire a battery of weapons over their heads. It was a keep your head down warning. The explanation I like the best and seems to make the most sense is the Fore-Caddie. These caddies, in the early days of golf, waited down range for the assigned golfer to hit his ball. Then the Fore-Caddie would...
Core training for golfers is a must for developing maximum power and distance. As in all athletics, the core is your engine. Everything comes from the core! The modern golf swing is definitely a "core-focused" movement; unlike the older swing technique of lower body action dominant. You probably have heard the term core training for golfers, but do you know what it means and how to implement it into your golf performance routine? Your core is the middle section of your body...specifically your abdominal region. If your core is weak or restricted in rotational flexibility, you will have a minimal chance at hitting long drives. I see this all the time in the senior golfer. No core strength or...
Attention Golfers! Is it Not About Time You...
I am sure we have all come across players on the course who are shall we say, are colourful at best and downright rude at worst about your game, with their language. But they are not your biggest critic are they? No, why have to wait for someone else to randomly come along and criticise your backswing, or your putting grip when you have a ready -made 'in house' individual who does that for you, for free! If other players criticised your game as regularly and as harshly as you talk your own game down, how much airtime would they get and how fast would you be pencilling their name in for the upcoming prestigious pairs tournaments? So it begs me to ask the question, why do you allow your internal...
What Great Golfers and Business Leaders Know...
After making careers out of all my passions: Business Growth, Branding, Marketing and golf, I've come to notice a lot of commonalities between them. Whether you're taking a crucial golf shot or an important business decision there are certain steps that you must know if you want to guarantee success. People often ask me to speak at meetings and conferences about these steps which I've set out in my book 'You can't see your Backswing - How to Win at Business & Golf'. I talk about an 18-step process towards success (one for each hole on the fairway of course). Do you have the stamina to be a winner? The first six steps are preparatory but none of them are things you do only once. Successful people go...
Famous Female Golfers
Let's face it: famous female golfers are few and far between in a sport largely dominated by men. Historically, golf was deemed much to "aggressive" for women to play; mini-golf was invented as a more dainty option in which ladies could partake. Today's most famous lady of the green is Michelle Wie. Wie began to turn heads in 2005, when at 15 she became the first woman to qualify for a USGA men's tournament. She went pro that year, just weeks before her 16th birthday. She was named to Time Magazine's list of "100 people who shaped our world" in 2006. Though Wie was swept into headlines by a media firestorm, there have been other recognizable female golfers in the past few decades. Annika Sorenstam...
Congratulations on your choice to start play golfing. It is a wonderful game that offers many great life lessons and fun times. However, it can also be a heart breaker. As you will soon find out, golfing is a lot harder than you could ever imagine. There are ways though to make it easier and a lot less frustrating in the beginning, and that is to learn to putt. There are five things that I believe to be the most important in putting, and they are: Ball Position, Lining Your Putt, Pendulum stroke, Alignment, and Eyes Over Ball. Firstly: You Want a Good Ball Position This where the balls lies in your stance. If you are a right handed player having the ball back in your stance means it is closer to...
ly seems like putting ought to be dead easy compared to the rest of your golf game. Very little power is required and putting looks like a simple movement. But for more than a few golfers, putting is where their golf game is won or lost. A winning putting technique is very demanding in terms of smoothness and precision and can only be achieved with repetitive training. There is actually no such thing as a perfect putting technique. Ultimately, the perfect putting technique is the swing that puts the ball in the cup every time. Although there are probably endless variations, most golfers utilize one of these techniques: the Langer grip, the anti-yip grip, or of course, the orthodox grip. An orthodox...

Improving Your Golf!
First things first,let me just start by saying if you are just starting out get a few lessons to get your swing right. It is much easier when you start off with a good swing than going to the driving range and picking up bad habits, then trying to correct them.

For me golf is a thinking persons game.A game of golf is won or lost on club selection and hitting the best possible shot with that club. One of the most important points is to try to hit your ball onto the green. Once you can do this the next step is...
It is estimated that there are more than 60 million people around the world who play golf more than once a year. It is likely that only a very small percentage of these have a good knowledge of the Rules and probably only a handful that have a detailed understanding of all 34 Rules, 126 sub-sections and over 1200 Decisions made by golf’s governing bodies, the R&A and USGA. But why is it important to learn the Rules? Well, I suggest that there are at least five good reasons why players should continually strive to improve their knowledge of the Rules of this great game; - First, Rule 6-1 specifies that, “the player and his caddie are responsible for knowing the Rules” - Second, a good...

Golf Cart Safety
Golf carts are being used in more ways and in more places than ever before. You can find them on campuses, campgrounds, fairgrounds, airports, business parks, and even golf cart friendly communities. Increased usage certainly has its advantages. They are often times less expensive and more convenient than normal vehicles, and electric carts help to reduce emissions, making them an eco-friendly alternative. Unfortunately, though, increased usage equates to an increase in accidents. Especially since they are not equipped with many of the traditional safety features that you would find on regular vehicle. With the exception of street legalities, there are very few laws that enforce golf cart safety and...
Golf swing simulation drills are something which many people practice in order to improve their game, so that perform better when they are on the golf course.

Golf Swing Series: How to Choose The Correct...
Bunker play is a necessary and often frightening aspect of a round of golf. On your usual golf course what are the bunkers like? There are those with good fluffy sand that is quite deep and there are those with not so fluffy sand but still sand and those with almost hard pan just deep to a find sprinkling of sand.

You Cannot Argue Style When it Comes to Golf -...
I stood at a suitable distance and watched the morning parade of locals teeing off and I was amazed at the vast differences in the approach to launching that first ball. It reminded me of that film - the Good, the Bad and the Ugly - with an occasional gem from a player that is was a joy to watch. Every style was in evidence - the practiced Slicer, the committed Hooker, the Worm Burner, the Sky Rocket and the Shanker - they all showed up that day. Back swings varied from slow and deliberate to faster than the eye can follow and included the long lingering 160 degree sweeping contortionist-like loops, mostly from the ladies. Don't get me wrong - at various times in my golf experience I have been most...

How to Fit Your Putter Properly to Avoid the...
Another common error I see many golfers make when putting is that the putter does not sit flush on the ground behind the ball. This occurs so often, especially when the heel of the putter is on the ground but the toe is inches above the ground. This negatively impacts your putting 3 folds! Firstly, because only one part of the putter is in contact with the ground, ie the heel, this makes it very easy for the putter to twist in your hands, as well as when you stroke the ball. This results in more difficulty when you're trying to line up to your target line. Secondly, because the toe of the putter is in the air whilst the heel is still on the ground, this effectively closes the putter face. Remember...

The thing is if you meet these guys, you're realise that they're just human and aren't built like brick houses either! Secret Number 1 - Power Techniques The technique that these guys have developed over the years means that they can seemingly effortlessly transfer all their power into the ball with maximum efficiency. But How Do they do this? Well, they get their main power from two main points: - Full shoulder rotation so that the shoulder sits underneath the chin. - A firm base and coiled, resistant lower body All the power in the golf shot comes from rotation...
What can you do to increase your distance off the tee? Focusing your golf swing on hitting the ball in the center of the club face - center contact - will give you the maximum distance for your swing and clubhead speed. Understanding where you currently make contact can help you make the adjustments necessary to optimize your driver distance. What is Center Contact? Back when drivers were made of real wood they had an artificial insert in the middle of the club face. The insert was typically attached by screws, and the placement of the screws usually defined the center of the clubface, giving rise to the phrase "hitting it on the screws" when referring to a particularly well-hit drive. Of course...
Learning Golf from Setup (1)when we emphasize the importance of the setup, the question we may ask is that how to improve the setup and what we should notice. There are eight steps to practise setup. NO.1 Alignment Parallel your body (feet, knees, hips, forearms, shoulders and eyes)at address to the target line. When looked from behind, a right-handed golfer will take in aimed slightly left of the target. This optical illusion is created because the ball is on the target line and the body is not. The easiest way to form this is the image of a railroad track. The body is on the inside rail and the ball is on the outside rail. For right-handers, at 100 yards your body will appear aligned...
Golf Lesson on Impact and follow through
Following on from my last article, we are now on our way down in the golf swing and heading towards the collision at impact with the golf ball. The position of your body at impact determines the ball’s flight, so it pays to your body angles right. 1 Shaft lean –With iron shots the shaft should lean a little forward at this point, compressing the ball and adding power. With the driver, the club head and grip arrive as one, setting up more of a sweeping strike when making the golf swing. 2 Hips clear – The shoulders should be fairly square and the left hip will be higher because the left leg is straighter. Place a club against your hips to see this for yourself...

Golf Tips - Getting More Distance
We have all seen the pros on TV and we all wish we could drive that far. We try to emulate their technique but we just can't manage to get that kind of distance. I'm going to highlight some tips that should help you add a few extra yards to the end of your drive. The first, most important rule to getting more distance on your drives is to make sure you are properly warmed up. Like sprinting, you will not achieve your fastest speeds with cold legs. The same can be said for golf swings. If it is 7am and this is your first shot, there is no chance of you achieving your optimum distance. Widen your stance. This gives you the extra balance to swing a bit harder at the ball. Make sure you keep your left...

Golf is not Obama’s favorite before. Obama likes basketball, all the time. He never thinks about golf games until 1997. ‘Why don’t you do some sports that not so dangerous, and what about golf’? said Mitchell, Obama’s wife. Obama dragged on his own sets of the old golf equipment to the old Chicago Stadium in Jackson Park before Mitchell mentioned that again. I can honestly say that Obama is a bit not sure what kind of clothes to wear (One familiar bird said, Obama wrapped in a black silk shirt onto the No. 1 hole the tee a when playing in Southern Illinois that summer). Of course, and Obama play, his friends will be able to enjoy the treatment of rare - Watch the new President of the...
