Dear Golfing Friends
HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all. We have now reached the Golfing Year 2010. There are always at the beginning of a new year many questioned that have to be answered, like who will win this year’s Masters, will Padraig succeed to win another British Open, or will the Tiger come out of the sex jungle. For us personally the beginning of a new year gives us the opportunity to set our goals for the coming season.
Thank you for all your e mails and questions. There has been a lot of interest in my You Tube video series.
For a Birthday present I got the new book from Dave Pelz, Damage Control. I have just started to read his book, and will give you a review in my next newsletter.
I received an e mail from a friend of mine in South Africa; Devlyn Fraser.Devlyn is based in Umkomaas Golf Club in Durban the home of Tim Clark and Garth Mulroy. The Golf Course was founded in 1913 and is one of the most beautiful courses in the area. Devlyn runs a guest house on the golf course and has rooms available for football and golfing fans who are interested in going to the 2010 World Cup.
I have noticed that many of the questions and emails that I am receiving are from very confused golfers, amateurs and professionals alike. There are so many different theories about how to swing the golf club. The biggest problem that we have in the golfing world is that most of us only work on improving the effects and do not work on the causes. How to find the causes? That is the question that we have to answer. What causes those shots that we cannot control, is it the grip, the set up, the take away, swing plane, club face? What affects the way the golf ball flies? We have to determine something that all these factors have in common. Where do we have to start? First of all we have to find our natural grip position (more about the grip in my video series) and then we have to be balanced. We have to swing in balance and not swing to stay in balance. Over a period of time, in my newsletter and in the videos I will be explaining how important balance is for our golf swing and how this common factor can affects every part of our game.
To end off my newsletter a few golfing facts:
1. Phil Mickelson, who plays left-handed, is actually right handed.
2. Tiger Woods snagged his first ace at the tender age of eight.
3. The longest drive ever is 515 yards.
5. 125,000 golf balls a year are hit into the water at the famous 17th hole of the Stadium Course at Sawgrass. Nigel Elder
