The Golfer

A golfer and his buddies were playing a big round of golf for $200.

At the eighteenth green the golfer had a ten foot putt to win the round, and the $200.

As he was lining up his putt, a funeral procession started to pass by.

The golfer set down his putter, took his hat off, placed it over his chest, and waited for the funeral procession to pass.

After it passed, he picked up his putter and returned to lining up his putt, and completed it, thus winning the game and the money.

Afterwards, one of his buddies said, "That was the most touching thing I have ever seen.

I can't believe you stopped playing, possibly losing your concentration, to pay your respects."

"Well," said the golfer, "we were married for 25 years."

Thank you!

On your first few holes that you are going to play consider using a wood with higher loft than your driver. This will allow you to have more room for error and give you the opportunity to warm up before you begin playing.

Hope these little tips have helped even just one player.

If you are struggling with a slice or a hook when you are teeing off try the following. Whenever you are teeing off and you have a tendency to hook, lower your tee. If you have a tendency to slice, try heightening your tee.

You should be realistic with your drive because being more consistent with a drive and knowing where you are going to actually be able to hit it and how far you will be able to as well. This will allow you to think about your ball placement and make your game much more manageable.

Well, that depends. Do you throw your PS3 when you mess up a shot?

Thought I would share a tip with you today about one of the more
mental sides of a golf game.

Imagine yourself out on the course and you hit a bad shot. In all
likelihood you are not going to be a happy camper. Some of us might
even take this aggression out on the club slamming it to the ground
or chunking it across the field. Maybe even throwing in a few
keywords our mothers would be ashamed to hear come out of our
mouths. All of this just out of the frustration of one poor shot.

After this happens you might find yourself approaching your shot a
little bit differently often with a roaring temper. You may want to
take out every ounce of anger on that darn little ball that didn't
go where it was supposed to.

Here is where you should stop yourself, calm down for a second and
think your shot through.

After all you might have had one lousy shot, but if you do well on
this one could you could obviously make up for it. There is no
point in making your position any worse than it already might be.

Do what you need to do in order to calm down and refocus yourself.
Whether that means counting to ten or taking a couple of practice
swings to get you reoriented.

Just remember the next time you are out on the links and you hit a
poor shot to calm down and don't take your anger out on the ball.
Two poor shots is obviously worse than one bad shot.

Hope this helps you guys and gals out.

Play the course to your playing style not the playing style to your course. Pay attention to where you place your tee between the tee markers, placing it in the dead center is not always going to be your best bet. The course is designed to have curves to make you play around, so hitting at an angle can sometimes work to your favor.
