5 Golf Tips On Driving Better Off The Tee

Milton Erickson Learned to Walk as Tiger Woods Learns to Play Better Golf

Thinking further on my recent article about Tiger Woods apparently using an unorthodox form of anger management, to help him release bad shots, got me thinking. The way we learn anything useful in life tends to be on the basis of trial and error. We try something new and it works, we learn from it. We try something new and it doesn’t work, we learn from that too – possibly even more,

Milton Erickson, the father of modern hypnotherapy, often used the story of how he learned to walk again, at the age of 18 after severe bout of Polio, by watching his baby sister learning to walk.

Use Tiger Wood’s Secret to be Better at Muscle Building

Tiger Wood’s is without question the best golfer on the planet today. Some think he is the best athlete period. We can debate whether golfers are athletes all day, but this I will agree to, Tiger COULD be the best that his body will allow because he has mastered the single most important element to training. You too can use it to be better at muscle building.

Some people are gym rats. They just love being in the gym. I’m like that. I like the look, smell, sounds and ”feel” of weight rooms. They are a great place to hang out and I can spend hours in them every day. Tiger Wood’s is the same way about golf courses. This, of course, has absolutely NOTHING to do with his success as a golfer. As a matter of fact, he is the best golfer on the planet in spite of this fact.

My favorite people in the gym are the ones who boast of their gym time and the amount of working out they do. Like I said, I like gyms, so I get the vibe. But what I really get is that it has NOTHING to do with muscle building success. Too bad the people bragging of their lengthy gym time don’t.

Notice how as Tiger walks down the fairway he chat’s up his caddy, or says a few words to his playing partner, sometimes even acknowledging people along the fairway? The time spent walking around the course I am sure Tiger enjoys and counts for his “time on the golf course”. A round of golf takes about 4 hours. During that 4 hour time, what is the actual AMOUNT of golf that is Tiger playing? Maybe 30 minutes?

What makes Tiger so good is that when it is time to do what he is on the course to do, nobody is better at bringing the focus and intensity to the moment. He gets as close to 100% efficiency to each golf swing as possible. For the 45 seconds he is holding the club and making the shot his intensity and effort are the highest it can be for him.

If you can do this for each set while you are in the gym you will surpass every goal you have. The ability to take a set of weights and for the 45 seconds that you are doing what you are in the gym to do, if you can bring as close to 100% intensity and effort to that lift, you will be more successful than you can imagine. It is this ability that separates successful muscle builders from unsuccessful ones. Performing 16 sets of low rep high weight training per session at this level is how you build muscle. That’s about 15 minutes of WORK out of ever how long you want to be in the weight room. That’s not a lot of time, so imagine the amount of intensity required.

The next time you or someone you know starts on about marathon killer weight sessions remember this. Tiger Wood’s takes FEWER shots than everybody on the course that’s why he wins. But the shots he takes are BETTER than everyone else’s.

How to Achieve a Better Golf Swing

In concept golf is a simple game where the object of the game is to hit a small ball into a small hole in as few strokes as possible. The main goal is however is to achieve a better golf swing which will help to improve your game by lowering your stroke score, (how many times it takes you to hit the ball before getting it into the hole).

Golf is a really popular game and though many people around the world enjoy the game it is still unclear as to it’s actual inception date, or rather where it actually originated from. The most common belief is that it originated in Scotland around the mid 1400’s and kept evolving thru the mid 1700’s when the first known rules were put down in written form. By then Modern golfers were showing interest and playing the game. Though it may be argued, evidence showed that there were earlier, similar games that already exsisted, the scots still get the credit for the game as we know it today.

The development of one key element that will take you far is a better golf swing. Obviously you can control a lot of your game in your golf swing. One of the best ways to improve your full swing is to improve your short swing first and then gradually move on to a medium or mid swing then on to a full swing, taking note of balance and body positioning at all times.

Good tempo and balance! Two important keys to a consistent, powerful and smooth swing. Rushing your swing will throw you off balance and balance is very important when you make contact with the golf ball along with proper body positioning for optimum leverage which equals power. Some golfers have faster tempos (the rate of speed at which it takes to go through the full sequence of hitting the ball) than others and some have slower tempos. Rhythm is to be in sync with whatever your tempo happens to be.

Each Golfer have their own individual swing and and you should strive to find yours. Achieving a better golf swing should always be your primary goal. Once you find your swing you should be able to reproduce it consistently with very dramatic and powerful results each and every time….

The perfect swing should be effortless yet graceful and full of power. From the start of a full swing to the end of it your body should be in complete balance the entire time. To attain this The rotary action of the hips and torso, the vertical action of the arms, the hinging, and the cocking and uncocking of the wrists must all come into play at just the right moment. In order to achieve a better golf swing, you may need to make an adjustment to any one of the afore mentioned actions differently from how other players swing to to suite your body mechanics and tempo etc. to get the optimum result.

To learn and get to the point that you need to be to become efficient and effect a lot has to be done. Practice will get you there. The object! To achieve a better golf swing until it becomes a natural movement. Until you can perform it without thinking about how to do it. You step up you see the field, you become the field and you play the game of golf.
