Brief History of My Personal Golf Learning

12/30/2011

1 Comment

 
I started golfing when 11 years old; a pure 7-iron from 100 yards to one foot from the pin hooked me on the “feeling” of golf. I practiced and played "my game" (left to right fade). I focused on keeping the ball in play, avoided big numbers and took bogey and moved on. I shot in the upper 80s until graduated from high school. In college, improved equipment got me to low-mid 80s. No attention to mechanical movements yet, just playing my game (fire at left of green and fade to the middle). At the age of 31, I took a series of 3 lessons, nothing but alignment and grip and short game fundamentals. My very next round out I shot 77 with five birdies and won the tournament I played in. Improved putting mechanics/ mental awareness and short game. Currently a single digit handicapper with a low round of 70. Still struggle with consistency at times, but enjoy the game so much more than I ever have thanks to a few good coaches and tireless hours of practice. 

Tell me, if you haven't taken a lesson before, what is stopping you? If you have had instruction, did it help? What advice would you give to someone considering taking lessons

Ben Crenshaw 说推杆时候速度比方向还有重要。也提到多半业余者的推杆问题来自握发太紧。他也说不要模仿别人推杆的样子,每个人是独特的有独特的腿法。你同意吗?

高尔夫礼赞

高尔夫礼赞

“高尔夫是一项科学,在你一生对它的研究中,你可能会筋疲力尽,

但是绝不是在这科目上本身

它是一项比赛,一项决斗或混战,需要技能,勇气,策略,以及自制。

它是脾气的测试,荣誉的试炼,性格的显露。

它提供机会改造人们,并且表现绅士风范。

它意味着进入上帝的户外世界,

接触自然,新鲜的空气,运动,

抹去心头的困扰蛛网,

一种真正享受身体组织疲惫的娱乐。

它是介意的疗药,忧虑的解药。

它包含了与朋友的伙伴情,有机会表现出

对对手的礼貌,友善,和大方。

它不但促进身体的健康,而且提升道德力量。”

-David R. Forgan

给少年球手的6条建议 从小巩固基本动作

6/23/2011

在练习场,越来越多的少年球手加入了练球的行列,当然,他们都是随父母前来的。少年球手必须有一套适合自己年龄、身高的球杆,而练习方法也应该与成年人有一些差别。少年球手的力量较小,而球杆也不像成年人使用的球杆那么硬,都是较软而弹性很高的,另外,他们的身体在一天一天的改变,因此没有必要练就一套固定的动作,但是必须遵循高尔夫运动技术的基本原则。

通常,由于少年比较好动,“静默的眼”,“静默的双腿”对于他们都难于做到,他们的动作一般会比较大,而对于正确的教授,他们未必愿意听从,因为他们更喜欢以自己的方式去打球。但是,作为家长,尽管你不想你的孩子将来成为职业球手,仍然要监督他们,做到以下6点:

The Best Golf Equipment to Invest in is.... You!

8/21/2010

Writer Damon Goddard put up a great article.  

He breaks down some common swing faults and the reasons they occur:

We have all heard the old adage, “It’s not the arrow, it is the…” well you know where I am going. Why is it now that we have tremendous improvements in the golf club and golf balls but for the average golfer, handicaps have stayed the same and driving distances have seen minimal improvement? I want to take a look into how the Tour players have seemed to keep up with the incredible improvements in golf equipment and technology, yet the amateur player has seen little or even decreased performance.

Chips from the Rough

8/20/2010

by Corey_Lundberg

Not all of our chips will be from the perfect lie on the fringe, so we need to make sure we practice out of a variety of lies. Next time you practice your chipping, drop your ball in some rough and try to recreate more realistic lies. Here are a couple things you should change in your chipping when you encounter a tough lie in the rough:

Use more a little more loft then you normal, the extra loft makes it a little easier to get down to the ball and to get the ball up and out of the rough.

Feel like your backswing is more to the outside, this helps us get a little steeper angle of attack back down to the ball

Keep the weight left—this is important for all chip shots, but an absolute must when we get into a tough lie.

Hitting Driver into the Wind

8/12/2010

0 Comments

 
Oddly, the conventional wisdom for hitting your driver into the wind actually is counterproductive to distance with today's driver technology, but old thinking dies slowly. CJ Geocks at Perfect Connection Golf Swing wrote an interesting article about this and so I went out to try this. I hit three balls using the tee it low and short follow thru slightly back in my stance.  Then I teed three up and just made my normal swing. All three normal swing shots were past my "hit-it-under-the-wind" shots by an average of 8 yards. I'll update this post if I find this doesn't hold up, but from now on for me its regular driver swing on breezy days.
