The Simple Golf Swing - Drop 7-12 stokes in about 2 weeks.

How would you like to be able to play a round of golf with Tiger and actually be able to compete? I would too...but I was not blessed with Tiger's natural ability. Unfortunately, I am what you would call just the ordinary average golfer. I usually have that 1 perfect shot per round that keeps me coming back for more each and every week thinking that I am starting to "figure it out". Of course, each and every week the scores just keep adding up to the same thing.

Does this sound familiar?

That was me until I discovered the Simple Golf Swing System by David Nevogt. Unlike other books that I have read, David's techniques were easy to follow and I truly noticed a difference in my swing the very first time out just by getting set up properly before each shot. Now don't get me wrong, I didn't go out and shoot my best round ever...in truth, my score was 2 strokes over my previous outing. The difference was that I was hitting more solid shots and I kept hitting my approach over the green!

The setup of a swing is only the start of the Simple Golf Swing. Once you cover that, you can make sure you are using the correct grip with pictures that show exactly where to place your hands. After you get used to these 2 steps, you will actually get into the meat of the swing.

The most important thing to remember is that practice really does make perfect. If you don't practice the steps to the Simple Golf Swing, you will not improve your scores. Also, remember that golf is just a game and games should be fun...however, it is always more fun when you see improvement.

The True Rules Of Golf - Part 4 of 4

* There are two things you can learn by stopping your backswing at the top
and checking the position of your hands: how many hands you have, and which one is wearing the glove.
* Hazards attract. Fairways repel.
* You can put "draw" on the ball, you can put "fade" on the ball, but no golfer can put "straight" on the ball.
* A ball you can see in the rough from 50 yards away is not yours.
* If there is a ball in the fringe and a ball in the bunker, your ball is the one in
the bunker
* If both balls are in the bunker, yours is in the footprint.
* Don't buy a putter until you've had a chance to throw it.

* Non chalant putts count the same as chalant putts.
* The shortest distance beween any two points on a golf course is a
straight line that passes directly through the center of a very large tree.
* There are two kinds of bounces: unfair bounces, and bounces just the
way you meant to play it.
* You can hit a 2-acre fairway 10% of the time, and a 2-inch branch
90% of the time.
* Every time a golfer makes a birdie, he must subsequently make two triple bogeys to restore the fundamental equilibrium of the universe.
* If you want to hit a 7-iron as far as Tiger Woods does, simply try to lay up just short of a water hazard.
* To calculate the speed of a player's downswing, multiply the speed of his backswing by his handicap. Example: backswing 20 mph, handicap 15, downswing 600 mph.

* Golfers who claim they don't cheat, also lie.
* If you're afraid a full shot might reach the green while the foursome ahead
of you is still putting out, you have two options: you can immediately shank
a lay-up, or you can wait until the green is clear and top a ball halfway there.
* The less skilled the player, the more likely he is to share his ideas about the golf swing.
* The inevitable result of any golf lesson is the instant elimination of the one critical unconscious motion that allowed you to compensate for all your errors.
* If it ain't broke, try changing your grip.
* It's not a gimme if you're still away.
* Everyone replaces his divot after a perfect approach shot.
* A golf match is a test of your skill against your opponent's luck.
* It's surprisingly easy to hole a 50-foot putt when you lie 10.
* Counting on your opponent to inform you when he breaks a rule is like expecting him to make fun of his own haircut.

The True Rules Of Golf - Part 1 of 4

* The game of golf is 90% mental and 10% mental.
* If you want to get better at golf, go back and take it up at a much earlier age.
* Since bad shots come in groups of three, a fourth bad shot is actually the beginning of the next group of three.
* When you look up and cause an awful shot, you will always look down again at exactly the moment when you ought to start watching the ball if you ever want to see it again.
* Any change works for a maximum of three holes and a minimum of not at all.
* No matter how bad you are playing, it is always possible to play worse
* Never keep more than 300 separate thoughts in your mind during your swing.
* When your shot has to carry over a water hazard, you can either hit one
more club or two more balls.

Parrot

At dawn the telephone rings.

"Hello, Senor Lucky? This is Ernesto the caretaker at your country house."
"Ah yes, Ernesto. What can I do for you? Is there a problem?"

"Um, I am just calling to advise you, Senor, that your parrot died"
"My parrot? Dead? The one that won the International competition?"
"Si, Senor, that's the one."
"Damn! That's a pity! I spent a small fortune on that bird.
"What did he die from?"
"From eating rotten meat, Senor"
"Rotten meat? Who the hell fed him rotten meat?"

"Nobody, Senor. He ate the meat of the dead horse."
"Dead horse? What dead horse?"
"The thoroughbred, Senor Lucky. He died from all that work pulling the water cart."
"Are you insane? What water cart?"

"The one we used to put out the fire, Senor"
"Good Lord! What fire are you talking about, man?"
"The one at your house! A candle fell and the curtains caught on fire."
"What the.....!!! But there's electricity at the house!!!
What was the candle for?"

"For the funeral, Senor."
"WHAT BLOODY FUNERAL?"
"Your wife's, Senor...she showed up one night out of the blue and thought she was a thief. So I hit her with your new Tiger Woods Nike Driver."

SILENCE...................

"Ernesto, if you broke that driver, you're in deep shit!"

Golf Joke of the Week - Beware What You Ask

A wife and her husband are sitting around one evening, just talking, when the wife suddenly asks, "If I died, would you re-marry?"

"I would," the husband answered.

"You would?" the wife asked, a bit surprised. "Would you let her come into my house?"

"I would."

"Would she be cooking in my kitchen?"

"She would!"

"Would she be soaking in my bathtub?"

"She would!"

"Would she be putting her clothes in my closet?"

"She would!"

Growing more exasperated, the wife continued asking: "Would she be driving my car?"

"She would!"

"Would she be sleeping in my bed?"

"She would!"

"Would she be using my golf clubs?"

"Oh, no, definitely not."

"Why not?"

"She's left-handed."
