Hookers Do Play Golf
My Golfing Life As A Hooker!
Here is a warning to all wannabe golfer’s, if you start in this sad way, and do nothing to stop, then a life of pain and anguish awaits you.
All my life as a golfer I was a hooker.
How it happened i do not know.
I never wanted to be one it just happened.
Hooking when It started, was not every shot. It’s just sort of creeps up on you, gradually over days, weeks or even months and progressively worsens, until almost every shot is calling a TAXI left. And I do not mean just a little to the left i mean boomerang benders.
It got so bad I spent more time in the trees, searching for lost balls that my friends thought I was gardening.
Then came the dreaded day. I remember it so clearly that it was almost as if it happened yesterday. I ran out of golf balls during a round. Was soooo embarrassing.
I needed professional help.
After walking off in the afternoon, I went straight to the clubhouse and talked about the pros. When talking to the Pros, they admitted that they had heard of my problem. It seems that some of my so-called friends had talked to them, to find out if it is contagious.
There is a cure. And it is really easy. Senior Golfers Just read on:
The problem:
Hitting the ball with a closed clubface, which results in the ball going dramatically) to the left.
The first thing you should do is check your grip.
If the grip is good, and still Hooking, try to weaken the grip gradually moving both hands to the left.
Check your alignment to make sure that the feet, knees, hips and shoulders are all parallel to the target.
Another reason may be the position of the ball. If it is too far back, it may produce an excessive in to out swing path.
Try grabbing the club more in the palm of your hand, not fingers, to reduce wrist action and the premature closing of the clubface.
Make sure that the left wrist is not too loose. If so, the right wrist will control the clubface close it too early.
Make sure that the action begins in the legs and body. This will stop the wrists unhinging and closing the clubface too soon.
There, you see. I said that it can be cured. Although perhaps not completely cured. Even now many years later, sometimes it happens.
But the main difference is that now, as I’m walking toward the woods to search for that wayward shot, I’M SMILING - because I know it is not my ball im looking for.
Why Tiger Woods’ Golf Swing Technique is so Effective and Senior Golfers can follow
As he starts the swing, his level of fitness and muscle strength enables him to build up club head speed by turning his trunk and rotating quickly pushing the right leg forward. There is a minimum of energy waste as he maintains his posture over the golf ball.
Driving through, Woods uses the hips, shoulders and wrists to create a high initial ball speed. Research has shown that a couple of feet off the tee, the ball is usually traveling about 180 miles per hour. The average tour pro usually only manage 160 miles per hour.
Tiger’s golf swing technique can not be achieved on the basis of someone who is not physically fit or somebody who does not work out regularly. In fact, the achievement of an effective golf swing technique these days it is necessary to condition the muscles,
Gone are the days when golf was viewed as a leisure sport where players would move around in an electric golf cart to avoid breaking sweat.
This does not mean that a good golf swing technique calls for rigorous exercise of power training, and stretching. In fact, the most critical golf-specific exercises involve stretches and core strength training combined. There is also light weight lifting to build strength not the muscle.
Obviously golf-specific exercises are the only way to develop a good golf swing technique.
Do Not Think Too Much Just Hit It Don’t Let Slow Play Spoil Your Game
This is a good idea, hire a professional and make sure that he is a great player and teacher as well. If they just stand there and watch you without actually showing you the swing that can get you out of the sand trap, or hit the Fade or the proper way to putt then what are you paying for. The best teachers will try to understand what you can do first, and then adjust the advice to suit your needs.
If you’re ready to play, it’s important not to think too much before taking your shot. I have played with people who have taken so long over the ball trying to remember everything the pro taught them, you wonder how you ever got through 18 holes. It is impossible to think of a dozen things while thinking about the grip, where your feet are, where the ball is, keep an eye on the ball, keep your head straight, and so on.
My advice is see the shot first feel the shot and then do it. (pull the trigger)
As you’re learning the game there are certain principles which must be respected.
Here are two basic tips to help you improve your personal game.
An important foundation you need, no matter what shot you make, no matter what club you’re using is balance. You must be balanced when you swing the club..
And do not forget, of course; always keep an eye on the ball. Make sure that the stance allows you to see the ball at every point of the stroke.
Take your time and develop methods that work best for you. Unless you’re playing golf for a living, you have all the time in the world to get it right.
Like everything else in life, golf, takes time and practice and, if you take your time, and try to do everything as natural as possible, you will quickly get the first birdie and before you know it you will break 80 regularly.

Improving Your Core Strength Be Wary Of The Stretching DVD

Picture the rubber band for a moment. Keep stretching it and stretching it.
What’s happening?
It breaks down and eventually snaps in two.
Your muscles are the same. You can keep stretching your muscles, but it does not improve the strength in these newly developed ranges of motion, you will not see long-term results. In fact, just this golf stretching dvd could be detrimental to your performance by exposing the muscle to injury, it is essential that the Senior Golfer build core strength.
The wisest purchase would be the golf exercise DVD, which includes both stretching and strengthening exercises. Now you will see lasting results! You won’t be wasting your time in the hope of a better golf swing.
You’ll see a much higher level of performance, accuracy and overall consistency. I am always surprised when a senior golfer says he needs to improve HIS flexibility and no mention of building strength.
We know that the human body loses range of motion and strength every year,and we dont maintain it. The ‘use it or lose it’ phrase comes to mind, and it is very true. The muscles were designed to be used, not just lay dormant and inactive throughout the subsequent years.
When you start to really understand how the human body works, You will have a different outlook on a golf performance program. I do not think that the answer is a golf stretching DVD.
My advice to Senior Golfers is to work out and stay safe.
