Developing Your Own Golf Style
March 31, 2008
Some beginners think that all they have to do is mimic Singh’s or Tiger’s every move and voila! Instant golf success!
Unfortunately, it is not that easy.
Really, no two people ever swing at the ball in the same way. Because of your unique body build, you develop your own individual set of muscles. A method of golf used by one person who’s of a different build and has developed a different set of muscles may not be of value to you. Golf will always be individual. Find a method of playing that produces results for you, and then go with it.

Sure, Tiger Woods is physically gifted and has practiced golf for years. But that’s not what Makes Tiger so great.

Mapping a Golf Course using Google Earth
March 21, 2008
If you’ve used Google Earth then you know what an amazing application it is especially for a golf course.
The tools inside Google Earth are as impressive as our big blue planet and for golf courses it is a valuable piece of software that gives players an insight into your golf course.
Below is a simple guide on how to map your course.
It is tricky and if you are a little technology challenged then be prepared for late nights and some head scratching!
To start, locate your course using www.eyespygolf.com and click on the “Aerial Image” icon at the top right of the page. This will automatically fire up Google Earth and zoom you into your course. Next zoom in to a position that you feel golfers would want to see of your course.
Golf Basics For Your Kids
March 20, 2008
Teaching golf to kids, first of all, FUN is the name of the game. Throw in all the technical jargon at the beginning and you will effectively loose the child’s desire to learn golf. Allow a child to “play” golf for fun and enjoyment, and eventually he or she will become a life-long convert of the game of golf!
Hours of practice will only overwhelm a child, so just allow him or her to practice a little bit at first, say 40 minutes. This will keep motivation for practice high.
Improve Your Golf Swing by Keeping Your Golf Club on the Correct Swing Plane
March 16, 2008
We as golfers have heard the term swing plane many times during our golfing careers. But do we really know the definition of it and the bearing upon our golf swing?
Recently, I had a conversation with Dean Reinmuth (top 30 teaching pro ranked by Golf Digest) and I think he described swing plane the best. Dean suggests thinking of the swing plane as an imaginary circle. The imaginary circle that represents the swing plane is set at an angle. It is the path on which it is necessary for the club to travel in order to execute the swing correctly.
