Book excerpt: Golf has 3 competitors – other players, the course, and yourself. Leaderboards measure how you performed against others; score against Par measures how you performed against the course. The GYRA Mental Scorecard allows you to measure your performance against your primary competitor – yourself - per shot, per hole. This is a game-changer. “You may never play golf the same way if you start measuring your mental performance on the golf course.” Gary Player, World Golf Hall of Fame “With the introduction of the GYRA Mental Scorecard, you are now able to track your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors to be able to better yourself for future situations.” Jason Gore, Player Relations, USGA “GYRA tools have given me the skills to manage my emotions and thoughts throughout the up’s and down’s of tournament golf.” Seamus Power, Olympian, PGA Tour Player “I have been coaching college golf for 20 years. The difference between a good vs great player is usually their mental approach to the game. The idea of having a scorecard for golfers to describe and track what is happening in their mind is groundbreaking.” Tim Straub, Davidson College “This book should be required curriculum for golf academies, teaching professionals, caddies, and players.” David Ross PGA Lifetime Member, Ross Academy

Download or read book Understanding Golf written by Dan Serra and published by Tate Publishing & Enterprises. This book was released on 2014-08-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Golf is two distinct games. There is professional golf and there is recreational golf. Aside from the fact that they both have the same rules, there is very little in common between them. They are on two completely different levels. The weekend golfer struggles to break one hundred. Ninety percent of all golfers cannot regularly shoot under one hundred. Yet they continually try to play like a tour professional. RESULT = DISASTER. There is nothing more frustrating than to have a golfer hit a bad shot and then walk over to the ball and repeat the same bad swing with the same bad results. We look to the equipment to correct our faults, rather than using good golf basics. In Understanding Golf learn how the swing works, and what to do if it doesn't. Learn to strike the ball correctly, and the rest will follow. The basic instruction in this book is simple, clear, and concise. It is written from the perspective of a golfer like you, with the purpose of teaching you how to break ninety.

Book Understanding Golf

Download or read book Understanding Golf written by Philip Moore and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2013-01 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Review I've known and worked with Philip Moore for almost 20 years. His latest book, Understanding Golf, is a great read. There are no gimmicks here, just an honest, straight forward discussion about golf and how it is best played. Over the years, I've watched experienced golfers improve dramatically through working with Phil and applying the exact ideas he has clearly outlined in this book. As Phil says, "When you improve your approach to shotmaking, your scores will drop." Regardless of your level of play, if you would like to grow your understanding of the game and lower your average score, this book is worth every penny. Jason Taylor Honorary President of the Southern California PGA CEO of the Lorena Ochoa Golf Foundation Description If you've been struggling for a long time to lower your average score, you're either playing to your maximum physical ability or you don't fully understand the process of improvement. It's the latter. While most golfers believe they have a fairly good understanding of how the game is best played, they actually don't. And it's that lack of understanding, more than anything else, that inhibits their ability to improve. Today's golfer tends to believe that lower scores are achieved through purchasing better equipment, developing a better golf swing, and hitting the ball farther. But golf is not about high-tech equipment, ideal technique, or maximizing clubhead speed. Playing golf is about shot selection and shot creation. When playing golf, you're challenged to select and create the appropriate shot from varying circumstances. The quickest and easiest way to lower your average score is through developing your playing skills: shot selection, club selection, intention, setup position, and swing focus. Developing those skills stems directly from expanding your understanding of the game itself. Raising your potential as a golfer, through expanding your understanding of the game is what this book is about. As you gradually develop your playing skills, you'll notice your scores steadily improve, seemingly without any effort at all. Understanding Golf is truly a roadmap to lower scores. About the Author Philip Moore is a golf writer, teacher and clubmaker. He currently owns and operates Academy Clubmaking, located at Goose Creek Golf Course in Jurupa Valley, California. He is a member of both the Association of Golf Clubfitting Professionals and the International Clubmakers Guild. In addition to writing Understanding Golf, he also wrote The Mad Science of Golf, published in 2007.

Book The Stack and Tilt Swing

Download or read book The Stack and Tilt Swing written by Michael Bennett and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2009-11-12 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An in-depth, full-color, step-by-step guide to the new golf swing that has taken the PGA Tour by storm The traditional golf swing requires a level of coordination that few golfers have. So it's no surprise that, despite huge advances in club and ball technology, the average golf handicap in America has dropped by only one stroke since 1990. Maverick golf instructors Michael Bennett and Andy Plummer spent a decade researching the swing, eventually combining physiology and physics to create a method they dubbed the "Stack and Tilt." The result? Big-name pros like Mike Weir, Tommy Armour III, and Aaron Baddeley are already converts, and Bennett and Plummer are now two of the most soughtafter swing coaches in the game. Making these breakthroughs available to everyone, The Stack and Tilt Swing is a handsome, fully illustrated, complete course, packed with more than two hundred full-color photographs that make it easy for golfers at all levels to adopt this radical yet simple approach. Analyzing why the traditional swing won't work for most golfers, the authors explain the importance of keeping the upper body stacked over the lower body, while the spine tilts toward the target during the backswing, greatly reducing the inconsistencies created by the old-fashioned approach. Enhanced with practice routines, a troubleshooting list, test cases, and point-by-point assistance, this is the breakthrough guide to golf's hot new secret weapon.
