Golfing Holiday.
« on: November 05, 2008, 07:44:18 PM » |
|
I played golf today, and I sucked big time, I had the worse game. I'm a bit worried about my golf at the moment, as Russell and I are going for a golfing holiday to the Gold Coast again (I should say annual Gold Coast Golf Holiday), for seven days with seven days of golf. I hope my game improves.  |

It will come around, and you'll have a great time.
What part is giving you trouble?
Think tempo. Stay balanced. And most important: Drive down, and through the ball. Finish at your target.

I started off pretty well. Then we got held up for 5 holes by a bunch of old biddies (my mother was in that group) who would not let us through. I was pretty cranky, and I was really pissed off with my mother. My golf preceded to get worse and worse, and I think I was trying too hard to hit the ball, I was really trying to flog the *feces* out of it.  |

The harder you try to hit it...(to make it go farther/better) the worse it gets. Smooth, easy and in tempo. Leverage. Try to watch some video of Annika or Se Ri Pak. |

Stroh, I took your advice yesterday, I didn't try and "whack" the ball, I thought of tempo all day, and I ended up with 37 stableford points (1 under my handicap).  |
