Rickie Fowler’s Inner Power

One of the games newest and brightest stars is Rickie Fowler.  In an April 2010 posting on Golf.com he speaks of how he has learned to release expectations of his game and free himself of this energy. Every golfer can learn from his words and see how the law of attraction works for them in their golf game.  It is clear to see Rickie uses his power of creation by utilizing his vision for shots, feel for each shot and letting go of any expectations he may have with each shot he faces. In this article he states;  "I'm not your typical Tour player — before I took ... [read more]

The Yin and Yang of Golf

The concept of yin and yang  originates in ancient Chinese philosophy and metaphysics and is used to describe two primal opposing but complementary forces found in all things in the universe. Yin, the darker element, is passive, dark, feminine, downward-seeking, and corresponds to the night; yang, the brighter element, is active, light, masculine, upward-seeking and corresponds to the day. Yin and yang can be used to describe seasonal changes and directions, and can also be seen as a process of transformation. Yin and yang are complementary, interdependent opposites, neither of which can exist without the other. Each can transform into the other, and contains a seed of ... [read more]

Get A Grip On Your Golf Game

Though I have written before about the need for a good golf grip, I thought I would expand on the weight of the situation. In the many golfers I see each week besides there posture that could be improved and angles of the body at address, the next major area concerns the golf grip. Specifically, a poor grip will be much heavier than a proper golf grip for any golfer. That poor grip then leads to poor reactions in your swing and body rotation. Thus, the poor grip sets the stage for a chain reaction of positions for the body that are not in your best interest. The ... [read more]

Will the “Full Monty” be coached to the European Team This Weekend

European Ryder Cup Catpain Colin Montgomerie has long been a visual person when it comes to creating his golf game.  In fact he has mentioned before that once his golf game became technically sound with mechanics, balance and motion, it then became primarily a "mental game". As he elaborted on that statement he mentioned that he uses visualization as his main tool to create the golf game he desires.  "Captain Monty" is known for his deliberate fade of all shots and high finish position in his swing when he plays.  He mentions that when it comes to each shot he wishes to make, part of his pre-shot ...

Tiger Woods keeps moving on with Ryder Cup invite

In preparation for the U.S. Open a few years ago, Tiger Woods traveled to Oakmont, PA to play some practice rounds there before the summer championship there. It was the first time Tiger had visited the historic 8 time hosting site of our national championship. He played over a few days and also did some promotional events in connection to his time there. One of the events involved entertaining questions from a group of attendees who were there as a promotional day for the open. Apparently the group did not know Tiger would be there and were shocked to be walking along with him as he practiced. At one point ... [read more]

Do You Know What You Are Trying To Accomplish In Your Golf Game?

When playing a round of golf I’m sure you have noticed from time to time how you have had a hard time just keeping your mind on the game. Your mind wanders off to thoughts about tomorrow or you are remembering what you forgot to do the previous day. This additional clutter of thoughts along with any negative thought interferes even more with the creation of the shots you desire. Concentrating on your golf game can be a challenge in itself for golfers of every ability level. When you see golfers on TV they seem zeroed in, their face stern and steady with little emotion. Television commentators ... [read more]

HOW TO LOWER YOUR SCORES BY VISUALIZING

I was watching Personal Lessons from the Pro's the other night on The Golf Channel and the guest tour professional was Raymond Floyd. Raymond of course has won numerous events on the PGA Tour including several majors. He was teaching two mid-handicap players during the show and in one segment instructed them to visualize where they want the ball to go and see it travel all the way to the pin. He added you must visually imagine and see where you want the ball to go before you hit it. He added you need to see it in your mind as if you were to walk ... [read more]

Are You Responsible For Your Swing and Game?

Too many players come to me asking what is the club that will best improve their golf game? I assess the situation with them and suggest some possible clubs to assist their game. However those golfers are placing the responsibility of their golf game on their clubs, not themselves really. That is a huge problem in golf today! 74 percent of golfers are open to golf lessons, 23 percent take golf lessons and the rest go to the store to find the fix in their game. Those golfers looking at the store should probably look at their game also. In other words, they need to take responsibility ... [read more]
