Advice on how to hit backspin (always a common request) 2. Advice on the short game in general. So I have decided to focus my next two newsletters on these subjects. Today the focus will be on backspin, and in the next few weeks I’ll get one out on putting and chipping, and then following that will be course management. http://www.golfswingguru.com/rss/article12.htm david@golfswingguru.com Mon, 6 Jun 2005 17:51:29 -0500 Have you ever thought about what your hands and forearms are actually doing at the moment of impact? If not, please give this a try because it's one of the most important parts of the swing. The Simple Golf Swing explains this move, and others, in much more detail. http://www.golfswingguru.com/rss/article11.htm david@golfswingguru.com Mon, 6 Jun 2005 17:50:52 -0500 There is a very useful method that many accountants use called "The cost/benefit analysis". You may be familiar with it. The analysis is done to cut the company costs that do not provide a specific benefit. It's done on all the different costs of the company, and then the accountants can then analyze which costs provide a lot of benefit, versus which costs provide little benefit. Then quite simply, the costs that provide little benefit are cut. http://www.golfswingguru.com/rss/article10.htm david@golfswingguru.com Mon, 6 Jun 2005 17:50:06 -0500 The most important aspect of putting is to decide on your line before the stroke. The only thing to be thinking DURING the stroke is how hard you need to hit the ball. Control how far the ball rolls by controlling the distance you bring the putter back during the backswing. The length of the forward swing past the ball should ALWAYS match the length of the backswing. http://www.golfswingguru.com/rss/article8.htm david@golfswingguru.com Mon, 6 Jun 2005 17:49:23 -0500 A few things that I wanted to tell you. First, I wanted to give you a sample of my new book "Golf Options". Please go here to download the abbreviated version of the book. You should get the basic understanding of what the book is all about. http://www.golfswingguru.com/rss/article7.htm david@golfswingguru.com Mon, 6 Jun 2005 17:48:49 -0500 The goal of the golf swing is to make solid impact with the ball. I think that everyone would agree there. However, don't get neglect a proper follow-through because the ball is already gone. You can actually correct many of the problems with your swing by analyzing your finish. http://www.golfswingguru.com/rss/article6.htm david@golfswingguru.com Mon, 6 Jun 2005 17:48:21 -0500 In my experience, a weaker grip adds power and height to the average golfer's shot. I recommend at least experimenting with this grip. When you take your grip, V's should be created between the thumb and pointer finger of your right and left hand. For example, I'll use the right-handed golfer. Most golfers learn from the beginning, to make both of the V's created point at the right (back) shoulder. The result is a fairly strong grip. Here are the steps you should take if you are interested in trying a weaker grip. http://www.golfswingguru.com/rss/article5.htm david@golfswingguru.com Mon, 6 Jun 2005 17:47:04 -0500 The best thing about "The Simple Golf Swing" is that it is a system. Most golfers swing at the ball, but never really THINK about what they did wrong, or more importantly, what they did right. Thinking about the possible corrections usually will not work because there's always a little wrist cock, or a certain turning angle that could have influenced the good or bad result. http://www.golfswingguru.com/rss/article4.htm david@golfswingguru.com Mon, 6 Jun 2005 17:45:29 -0500 Here's a really good tip that may help you to get rid of your slice. Best of all, it's really pretty simple once you get the hang of it, and understand why it's being used. The problem is that it's kind of hard to explain, so please bear with me. Chances are that you have battled with a slice at some point in your golfing days. To be completely direct with you, dealing with a slice really sucks. It hurts your golf game in many more ways than one. Luckily, it's fairly easy to fix. I cannot claim that this small tip will completely cure your slice, but there's a good chance that it will. I hope it does http://www.golfswingguru.com/rss/article2.htm david@golfswingguru.com Mon, 6 Jun 2005 17:36:42 -0500 This problem may be easier to fix than you think. You may not realize it, but your back shoulder may be dipping towards the ground. This move forces the club to hit the ground too early. Most of the time it happens when you are really trying to get into the ball. Imagine…You're 200 yards out and you've chosen to hit the 4 iron. When you've got it in your head that you have to hit the ball hard to get it there, it's natural tendency to start your downswing with the hips in an effort to "really get into the ball". That may work in baseball, but not in golf. http://www.golfswingguru.com/rss/article3.htm david@golfswingguru.com Mon, 6 Jun 2005 17:44:03 -0500
