We Love Golf [PAL][WII][MOMENT]

What I find most fascinating is that time and time again, you guys basically said the same things. The things you love about golf, are, ironically enough, at the top of the list of things that the most recent incarnation of the grow golf moment says we need to change.

1) Kids. Focus on getting kids playing. There need to be low-cost or free junior golf programs at every golf course, and we need to get it into the schools. Think of the impact of this; what if every PGA professional had to go to a school once a year and give a 1-hour tutorial to a gym class. The gimmicky stuff should be at this stage, not on the golf course. Give the kids games to play at recess that foster the love of golf (think Big Break flop wall, but scaled back games for kids just starting out). Equipment companies could develop fun challenge games and donate them to schools (it would be money better spent on their future vs. flying media types in to headquarters for product launches). Some of my best memories as a kid are from the junior golf program on the local military base (and I bet most of those kids are still avid golfers).

I fell in love with this game about 2 years ago. It sucked me in almost immediately. I have taken about 15-20 lessons in that time. But for some reason I feel like I end up getting worse more often than getting better. I didnt hope to become a scratch golfer in this short time but consistent improvement at least would be ideal. I have gone from shooting around 110 to hovering around 100 to being around 95 and now back to that 110 area. I just cant get comfortable out there now as a result. I will never give this sport up I absolutely love it. My question to the group is was there ever a moment that you had a breakthrough that helped you improve your game? Or is it time for me to stop worrying about my swing and work on the mental aspect

Homa grew up in L.A. and learned the game from his father, John, who would take young Max to beat balls at the no-frills double-decker range at Griffith Park. That foundation led Max to a glittering SoCal junior career that would land him on the University of California-Berkley golf team. Today, he lives in Scottsdale, Ariz., with his wife Lacey, infant son Cam and dog Scotty. He loves the Lakers and Dodgers and Tiger Woods.

What an answer. Wittingly or not, Homa had delivered a snapshot of his life in 255 words. Like a good country song, it had a bit of everything: reflection, honesty, heartbreak. (That 7-iron line got me.) Most important, the question extracted from Homa something golf fans had never heard him say. It helped us better understand him and his relationship with the game.

Introducing my daughter to the game that I love so much has been one of the great joys of my life. From the moment that I came home with her first set of plastic golf clubs for her 2nd birthday she has been enamored with watching the golf ball fly through the air, even if just for a moment.

Emotions are one thing that I am never short on, and the thought of walking into hallowed grounds of Augusta National, along the jagged beautiful coast Pebble Beach, and among the pine trees of Pinehurst hand in hand with my daughter brings me so much joy. Whether to watch the best players in the world play the game we love or to attempt to mimic their play ourselves, the former of the courses I listed likely not, the thoughts of the joyful memories nearly bring tears to my eyes now.

It is often said that you can play the game of golf well into your elder years, which is perfect. That means that I will have three to five hours for the rest of my life when I can have my daughter to myself. Three to five hours to ourselves where we can be father and daughter, golf buddies, friendly competitors, or whatever the day may call for. For dear old dad the actual golf will be irrelevant. The game of golf will be, as it is now, our place of love, joy, and happiness. It is:

As always thank you for taking a few moments out of your day to read my blog. Whatever your passion is share it with your children if you are blessed to have them, they will return the blessings to more than any of us can imagine.

I look back at my most enjoyable moments in golf and always remember those moments that I laugh and have fun. In our Academy Classes this week (click here) we have been discussing expectations; the expectations of our athletes for themselves, of the coaches, of the class and our expectations of them. The overwhelming response was they expect golf class to be FUN! I love it, we have done our job to promote golf as a FUN thing to do.

The game means so much more than scoring low and playing well. We can test ourselves, spend quality time with people, smell fresh cut grass and experience life. Too many of us spend to much time on our cell phones, working and watching tv. Golf gives us a great opportunity to interact with those we care about and get to know people. A friend told me that the best way to get to know someone is to play golf and spend 5 hours with them, it is so true.

Allotting 2-3 hours per fitting, The Kingdom welcomes less than 10 people per day with a morning session and an afternoon session in what is truly an exclusive experience for novices and scratch golfers alike.

The beginner experience for women at Burnham and Berrow golf club has a very unique approach that has seen incredible results, with a number of participants now playing on The Championship Course as full members.

Our love.golf programme is an empowering group coaching experience for women which takes place predominantly on the golf course, in a rewarding environment that gives you the freedom to explore new skills, discover your potential and bond with a supportive group of like-minded women.

At 8:00, Monte mentions a quote from iteach that says "speed up things that are slow, not slow down things that are fast." At this point, I still thought my OTT was because my upper body was spinning out, so I still thought I needed to slow down the top half to catch up with the lower half. Wrong! I continued watching, and at 16:40, the guy says " I feel like the club is dropping 3 feet." At this point I realized that my lower half was way too fast, and I needed to speed the arms up. I immediately cussed the golf instructors that never caught on to this, and tried to make me ease up on my upper body for years!!! This also made me realize that even though my backswing was synced up, I still had a super armsy downswing! Duh, being synced on the downswing is important too. I falsely though that if I got in a good position up top, all the rest would take care of itself. I still was going side to side on the downswing, and I didn't let the arms operate up and down like in the Jim Waldron illusion video.

I always heard that golf was like chopping wood. I though that acting like the ball was a tree was the way to do it. The wood is actually outside my rear foot, not in front of me. All I think about now is getting my arms in front of my chest at the top, and then have my arms chop/fall STRAIGHT DOWN in front of meand then drive the hell out of my lower body. The results are incredible. I no longer think about trying to shallow the shaft, tilt my shoulders, or anything else! Just get my hands in front, chop, and spinjust like Montes student in the video. Thanks again for all the videos you guys put out. They are invaluable.

I've spent all summer going over countless instructional videos trying to gain more consistency. Ive played down to a 12 HC with a pretty armsy swing. Luckily i have pretty strong arms and hands, so I can still get 105+ SS with the driver. For years, Ive had a slight OTT move that has bugged me to no end. I always knew that I could play better, but I just couldnt figure out the root of my problem. On video, I could clearly see that I was getting just a bit steep to start the downswing. I had taken lessons in the past, but the only help I got was "youre OTT, slow your arms down." Obviously distance suffered with a slower swing, and I got even more frustrated.

About a month ago, I really started to appreciate the need to keep the hands in front of the chest. I credit iteach, and Monte for the help there. It was still a bit of a chore to get synced up, but then I watched Jim Waldron's illusion video which really put the icing on the cake for my back swing. I really got pretty good at staying in sync on the backswing, so I still for the life of my couldn't figure out my problem.

Fast forward to last week, and I watch the following video. The AHA! moments are at 8:00 and 16:40.

This video from Martin Hall is similar. Hopefully it helps others whose upper body spins out to try to keep up with the lower body.

We actually have a drill in our program called the Woodchopping Drill, one for wrist c0ck release, another for upper arms moving down to the chest, and one for right arm angle opening up. All happening mostly in the "down and out" dimensions, very little in the horizontal dimension, in fact the feel/intent is that it should be ONLY in the down and out dimensions, assuming of course you are starting your Transition from a good Top position, especially not "stuck".

One of my related drills is called "going east" which sounds very much like your breakthrough. The drill from the Top is to do the upper arm fall back to chest, and the right arm angle opening up, to the 'east', as you stay wound up with body coil at the Top. Clubhead will hit the ground in line with your right heel or about there. be457b7860
