I bet you want to enjoy playing golf more, and if you could enjoy golf more, you would love to spend more time with your family and friends on the golf course and I am absolutely positive that you want very much to stop embarrassing yourself at company golf outings and charity scrambles. Am I right or am I right? How can I be so sure I am right you ask ? That is a very good and fair question. Let me answer it for you.
I know a thing or two because I've seen a thing or two.
Since I have been teaching golf for the past 63 years, as the Farmers Insurance commercial so aptly puts it, "I know a thing or two because I’ve seen a thing or two." And, in all that time, I have discovered that you, yes you, want the things I mentioned above. I am sure of it. I have seen it time and time again. Another thing I know about you is that you don't want to spend an “arm and a leg" to learn how to enjoy golf more ( OK, maybe a big toe ). All of us here at Golfissimple.com agree with you on this one.
Today, you can thank your lucky stars because you have just stumbled onto the one place where you can really learn just how SIMPLE the game of golf can be. Honestly, golf is a simple game when you understand these 3 very basic principles:
1.
You never ever have to hit the ball. You simply learn to swing a golf club along a path upon which, someday, will rest a golf ball.
2.
When you arrive close to a green, what should you do ?... FORGET THE HOLE - Think Crater not Hole.
3.
Once on the green, you do not have to roll the ball into the hole in one smooth, flowing stroke. Thank goodness the game of golf allows 2 putts on every green.
Before you decide I am “as nutty as a fruit cake“ check out the tips below. You are so close to putting JOY back into your golf game! Halleluiah! Ok... take a deep breath and let's get started.
Always roll the ball as far away from you as the hole is ! DUH !!!
How do you do this ? Glad you asked. Develop stroke control. How do you do that ? Another good question. You do that by learning and rehearsing 3 basic strokes: Pink to Pink, Green to Green, and Orange to Orange. Say What ?!?!
Think Crater not Hole !
Let me C.L.E.A.R. this up for you. First: You Change the way you think about the objective of chipping. Second: you Learn to make little swings. Third: You Experiment with all of your irons. Fourth: You Allow for the terrain in your club selection. Fifth: You Relax when you have to chip because now it's a piece of cake !
The Half Swing in Golf
The Half Swing in Golf Caution ! Do not try to loft the ball. The club lofts the ball. News Flash ! You can make a half swing with any club.
A noted golf archetect once said, “Every golfer at every level wants to find their ball after they swing the club, 100% of the time.”
They do not want to send their ball out of bounds. They do not want to incur penalty strokes for sending their ball into a lake or the jungle. How can they do this, you ask ?
