Welcome. Does this sound familiar? Shooting over 100 every
round, spending time in the woods looking for lost balls,
flubbing shots, and generally leaving the golf course in a
frustrated state of mind. Well don't feel bad, your in good
company with most weekend golfers. The question is what do you
want to do about it?
My name is Bob Power and i used to play golf just as I described
above. My wife and myself started playing about five years ago.
Although my game improved, ( I thought I was better than I
was),I still needed to make some drastic changes to, not only
play the type of game I wanted, but to also enjoy the game more
as well. Many nights on the way home from the course my wife
would ask me why I play if I didin't enjoy it. I would say that
I loved to play golf, and she would say, "Well you'd never know
it by your lousy attitude." Then of course I would get mad and
tell her she was toallly wrong. Well, she was wrong about me
loving the game, but totally right about my lousy attitude
towards it.
About two years ago I was shooting well over 100 each round and
loosing balls on a regular basis, not to mention my frustration
level was at an all time high. One day I resolved to improve my
game, but instead of starting with the technical part of the
game, I started with the mental and physical part of the game.
When I watched golf shows on TV I began listening to the pros
and expert teachers about the proper approach to the game. I
started watching more programs on improving the physical aspect
as well. What I wanted was a good mental picture of what golf
was, before I started to improve the technical.
What I went through was a two year re-learning process. A short
time really when you think about the learning curve for golf.
What I found out was that with the right physical, nutritional
and mental approach, the learning curve decreases drastically.
The technical side becomes easier to comprehend and to put into
practice.
What follows is a prcatical guide that I used to improve my
scores from over 100 per round to shooting in the high 70s and
low 80s consistently and to improving my enjoyment of the game.
All I hope is that you can take one thing out of these articles
and improve your game as I did.
Thank you, and enjoy your round.
