The title seems odd, but before you start your pre-shot routine all your actions affect your shot. I believe that all my actions on the golf course have a direct impact on my game. There is a laundry list of things that will help, but the last thing I want to do is fill your head with white noise. However, there are a few actions I consistently perform to ensure that I am in proper frame of mind to make any shot. Continue reading

Your Long Iron of Choice
Long irons are hard to hit! It is one part of my game that I always need to work on because of my ongoing inconsistency. A few years back, I wrote an article on the importance of long irons. It still applies today and is worth the read (in my opinion). However, I recently asked the question which was the long iron of choice and I have to say, I am not surprised by the results.

Where Does Your Divot Start?
There is something wrong with my divot location!
For years, I have had a raging debate with many players on where the divot should start. Over the years, I have heard at the back of the ball, the middle of the ball or in front of the ball. We all agreed that behind the ball was bad news. Of course, it is important to point out that the following is for your irons and not your woods. I do not believe in taking a divot with my woods because it causes my stroke to lose power. We can discuss this in the future. As we move through the discussion, think of where your divot starts and the type of contact you have with your ball. Continue reading
Which Driver is Good For You?
Do you know the ins and outs of buying a driver. We have discussed this purchase in earlier posts with great success. After looking around, Worldwide Golf Shots produced an infographic that sums up all the information. As you know, I like to pass valuable tips to my readers and I felt this was a good product.
On a side note, I am not affiliated with Worldwide Golf Shots in any way.
I hope you enjoy their product. Continue reading
I Thought I Was in Good Shape For Golf!
Every once in a while, I do an activity and realize that I am not in good athletic condition as I thought. Two nights ago, I was invited to curl on a competitive team. We used this game as practice for a future tournament because I am not a curler, but dabble in the sport from time to time.
Serge, the Skip (or team captain) and I are friends and he invited me to join the Military Base team to compete in Regionals next week, so the game two nights ago was a great opportunity to hone (practice and learn) my curling skills. We were matched against the toughest team in his competitive league and played them to a draw (I was very happy). I had talked about golf Regionals before and curling Regionals are the same concept. Anyway, back to being in good shape. Continue reading
