Download or read book Improve Your Golf Game written by Loera Publishing LLC and published by . This book was released on 2019-06-06 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ★★★ Buy the Paperback version of this book & get the Kindle eBook version included for FREE ★★★ You are only as good as your swing. Practice makes perfect. Frustrated golfer syndrome. Golf can be an emotional rollercoaster - lying awake at 3AM wondering the woulda, coulda, shoulda of the day's game. Golfers who hit a bad shot feel helpless. We had an intention but failed to execute it. The mental picture we had of our swing and its glorious outcome shatters at impact. We don't really know what happened. But because it's mysterious, we can't correct it and we can't be sure it won't happen again. The extreme example of this is the dreaded shank-a rogue hit off the hosel of the club that squirts away from the golfer dead right. It's embarrassing. The problem is that once you shank, you begin to imagine that another shank is hovering, right there, just waiting - til the very right moment to appear - and mortify you, in front of your friends. A dear colleague of mine has had nightmares about hitting a shank for years. To add salt to the wound, the feeling of sheer frustration isn't limited to extreme mishits like the shank- it is also there when our mind picture turns into the exact opposite when we hit the ball. Then the next week, we think, what exactly happened. where was I standing, what did I do? All of the woulda, coulda, shoulda thoughts and self observations may be correct but by the time we go out to the course again, we have forgotten the minute details. The fact then remains that we usually don't know why we hit a bad shot that afternoon. You may have one of those handy little putting machines - you putt like a fiend in your home office (or maybe in your office at work). Monday is the worst day of the week for you as the weekend's game haunts you throughout the day, in meetings too - which is a nightmare in itself. You've bought the best clubs. Your putter - well let's just say you had it delivered to the office so your spouse wouldn't see the price tag (yes, I know you well). Golf balls? Dozens of boxes of em sit in your desk drawer. The 3 piece urethane that matches the Tour standard golf ball in every way. The 2 piece urethane slightly harder ball suitable for the intermediate player. Then there are the 3 piece soft-ionomer color ball that blow your mind with the performance and eye catching look.You own them all. The fact is my friend, all the cool golf stuff in the world won't help until you help you - it really is simple - drill down and see the who, what, where in the game. This performance stats workbook, it isn't really pretty. It is designed to help you evaluate what you did - right, wrong and outstanding. It definitely isn't for the weak of heart either. It is a robust workbook - we added some graphics to try to soften the blow, but this is a workbook to seriously evaluate yourself and your golf game. This isn't a mamby-pamby hold your hand workbook. Made 8 x 10 is size, it is made for you to sit down and seriously lay out the day's game facts. It won't fit in your pocket, it is hefty - 200+ pages. No fluff. No sunshine & rainbows content - instead you'll be filling in details of yardage, tournaments, taking a cold hard look at your game and seeing what you did wrong & what you did right. Excellent tool for the golfer who wants to look back and evaluate his or her improvement. Loera Publishing LLC was founded by Diana Loera, a Midwest farmer's daughter. She's had the privilege of buying advertising for some of the top golf products & instructional systems in the world. She hopes you find this performance stats workbook to be a valuable tool in improving your game.
