Could Golf Schools Be A Thing Of The Past?

Hi All,

Hope you are all well and getting plenty of golfing action. The weather here as been a lot better for playing in recently, so it has been very pleasant to be on the golf course.

Up until this good spell, the weather was so bad that a fair number of players had gone undercover and headed to the driving range. And a lot would be working with a golf pro to try and iron out some faults. Which got me wondering if this was the best way to go.

And then recently, I stumbled across something every golfer is going to want to know about. It's an online golf school. And it's the first, fully featured, personalized golf school online.

Some of the benefits are:

* You don't have to travel.
* You can practice when and where you want.
* You can practice what you want to make the biggest improvement in your golf game instead of being told what to practice.
* It's A LOT cheaper than a regular off-line golf school.

And best of all....you'll only pay if you improve.

So before you pay good money for a golf school, or pay any other money hoping to improve....make sure you go here TheConsistentGolfSchool and check out this online golf school now.

I really don't think you'll be disappointed, and better than saving you money, chances are it will really improve your game. So have a look at the site today. TheConsistentGolfSchool. And your game could take off.

1 Hour Golf Practice Plan For Improvement.

Hi Everyone,

Hope you are all well, and the golf is good.

Today we have an article from golf professional Nick Bayley, on how we should plan our practice to improve our game.

If you can spend an hour of your time practicing your golf game here is what I suggest you do to get the most benefit out of this time.

When you arrive at the practice area the very first thing you should do is a few stretches to warm up and you should do this for anything up to 5 minutes or until you're warm. Once you're loosened up the next thing you should do is to start off hitting a couple of wedge shots and then slowly go through each club in your bag, hitting a few shots with each one until you reach your driver. This process should take about 20 minutes. When hitting these shots you should treat each one as though it's a real shot on the golf course. In other words, choose a precise target for each shot and then go through your normal pre-shot routine.

Once you've finished the 20 minutes of hitting full shots you should now practice pitching for 15 minutes and you should do this by hitting shots to all different distances.

What I mean be hitting shots different distances is that you should aim to hit one shot 30 yards, the next one 60 yards, one 75 yards, the next 40 yards etc, etc. And remember to treat each shot, as you would on the course i.e. pick a target and do your pre-shot routine.

Now practice your chipping and bunker play for the next 10 minutes and once again pick a target and go through your pre-shot routine for each shot. It's important that you treat each shot as a real one and not some practice shot that doesn't matter.

When practicing get yourself into the mindset that you have on the course. That way when you get to the course you'll be better prepared.

You've now got 10 minutes left to work on your putting. And I suggest you practice putts outside of 10 feet, concentrating on your distance control and then end the practice session with some short putts (e.g. 2-3 footers). Do this so you leave your practice session on a successful note. Here's a summary of your 1 hour practice session ...

1 Hour Weekly Practice Session

* 5 minutes of stretching to get warm.
* 20 minutes of hitting a couple of shots with each club, starting with the wedge and then progressing through your clubs until reaching the driver.
* 15 minutes hitting pitch shots different distances i.e. 20 yards, 45 yards, 60 yards, 30 yards etc. Never attempt to hit a shot the same distance during this 15 minutes period.
* 10 minutes of chipping and bunker shots.

Final 10 minutes of putting, mainly working on distance control on putts outside of 10 feet and then finishing off this time with some successful short putts.

Remember To Approach Each Practice Shot As Though It's a Real Shot On The Golf Course.

Fix Your Swing To Fix Your Game.

Hello Everyone,

Hope you are all well and looking forward to getting some golf in over the weekend. This is just a quick heads up on a programme I reckon you should have a look at if you are having problems with your swing.

This is a problem that research shows affects 90% of golfers. It causes the golfer to hit the ball shorter, less accurately, and a lot less consistently than he should.

If you don't suffer from any of these things, that's great. But if you do, then you'll want to know how to fix it. It'll take less than 2 minutes to discover if you have this swing fault. But it could be a very important 2 minutes for your golf swing.

That's all for now, so have a great weekend and Happy Golfing.

P.S. You really have nothing to lose with checking this programme out. And you'll never know what you might gain. Check it out today.

Be On The Lookout For A Good Deal.

Hello Everyone,

Hope you are all well and getting plenty of golf in. Up here in Scotland the weather hasn't been all that great lately, with a lot of rain falling. So if you did manage to get out, the courses were all pretty damp.

Just thought I'd let you know of a service being provided by Direct Golf in the UK. They now have a tee booking service that everyone can use, and it'll save you plenty of money too. If you have a look HERE you will see the courses are extensive, and the green fees are excellent. Well worth a look if you fancy a change of course.

Another good deal is Bunkered magazine's Green Fee Savers. You buy vouchers from Bunkered magazine which then entitle you to play some great courses at half price. 2 can play for the price of 1 or 4 can play for the price of 2.

The way things are at the moment, if you can save some money, it can only be a good thing. These are only two examples of deals that are out there. There are probably plenty more, so if anyone knows of a good deal that can help us save some money, please post a comment on here and let us all know.

Which Golf Bag Suits You?

There is a huge choice of golf bags available these days, so let us know which golf bag is best for you.

Do you like to carry your golf clubs in a nice lightweight carry bag. Obviously you can't get as much equipment in these bags, but they do suit a lot of golfers, especially if the weather is set fair.

Or what about the cart bag? These are getting ever more popular just to sit on an electric buggy, or even if you are driving a golf buggy. There are so many pockets in these bags you can carry everything you need, and if you are in a golf buggy it makes for a really easy and relaxing round of golf.

Of course your bag doesn't guarantee that you will play good golf, that is something that you have to work on.

So leave us a message and let us know what type of bag you use, and why you chose that bag.

Kaymer Wins Scottish Open.

Hello All,

Well, after a terrific four days of golf at Loch Lomond, Germany's Martin Kaymer became The Scottish Open champion on Sunday. Kaymer had a final round 69 for a 15 under total and a two shot victory over Spain's Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano and Raphael Jacquelin. This victory made it two in a row for the young German, who also won last weeks French Open in Paris, to take his winnings to just over 1 million pounds in a week.

Despite living not too far from the Loch Lomond course, I made my first visit to the tournament at the weekend. And I have to say it was everything I expected. The course was presented in immaculate condition, but the setting, with the loch as the centrepiece and the surrounding hills, make it a truly magical place. With the weather being at it's best, I would say it is a course to rival any in the world.

And now we move on down the west coast to Turnberry, for The British Open. I'm sure young Kaymer will take plenty of confidence into this week, as will a few others after their performances at the weekend. But this will be a totally different test of golf, and with a few more "names" competing, like Tiger and Garcia it will be interesting to see how the young guns get on. More reports as the week progresses.
