You have taken your stance and you are about to hit your put.
All you think about is hitting the put and you pull it to the left
of the cup.
You did so many things wrong.
The biggest sin while making this put was that you had a look to
see how the ball was getting on far too soon.
If you do this, your head comes up and you hit your ball to the
left a bit.
Just try this and have a look at the putter head when you lift your
head to look.
You will see that the putter head moves off line to
the left.
If you ... [

Firstly, how do you put?
Do you hit the ball hard so that it bangs into the back of the
hole?
Or do you try to hit your ball so that it stops at the level of the
hole so allowing your ball to just fall over the edge of the hole from the
front or from the sides.
What ever your method, you will know exactly how to put each time
you step onto the green if you put in same way every time.
I mentioned in a recent article that you should look carefully for
a putter that suits you, and then stick to it.
Bad putting ... [

I'm not quite sure what it is about standing in a flowing river trying to catch a fish, but to me that experience is a spiritual one. The word "truth" is described as: Conformity to fact or reality; exact accordance with that which is, or has been; or shall be. That is precisely what I search for when I'm standing in a river attempting to entice a fish to bite my offering. And for some strange reason, the answers are more readily available then than at any other time.
I've come to the conclusion that nature probably ... [

While trying to contain a tragic accident site on Long Island last month where a horse trailers became disconnected from its truck, rescue workers felt woefully inadequate trying to handle the injured and dying horses. Clearly, they had no experience with the large animals, and some were moved to tears when explaining how helpless they felt.
To remedy such situations and to prepare rescue workers for handling horses in emergency situations, the Connecticut Horse Council initiated the Horse911 project—a series of workshops geared toward teaching Connecticut’s firefighters about basic horse-handling techniques while promoting fire prevention and preparedness among barn owners.
According to ... [

For parents and "wannabe" professional players it is hard to understand that this highly competitive sport of tennis seeks the boundaries of the maximum capacity of human efficiency. Neither do they realize that the decision for a career in top sports performance, especially in tennis, represents a persistent incision into a youngster's way of life. Next, they lack the global vision to assess the future restrictions in the young person's development as well as in occupation education or job situations. In many cases they do not either foresee the considerable financial expenses, demands on their own assets (parents) or ... [

Flexibility is quite often a misunderstood principle, but most of us know it is important to golf. Before we discuss flexibility and its relevance to golf we need to start with: “What in the #$%#%$#% is flexibility anyways?”
It is a simple question yet one that is not easy to answer. I imagine that most of you come up with some definition that is something to the effect of “Flexibility is stretching, right?” That answer is partially correct. Flexibility training incorporates stretching techniques. However, it is NOT limited to traditional stretching, and the two terms cannot be used interchangeably.
