I have seen many
of the best teachers in the world teach golf. Many of these famous
teachers miss that the vital point in golf is to make solid contact with the
golf ball. “Hit Down Dammit!” will be like being hit by
lightning for many golfers - as for the first time in their lives they will
learn what it is like to really strike a golf ball with power and accuracy.
Forget the theory and learn the reality with “Hit Down Dammit!”

Fortunately, I have a wonderful
attitude when it comes to golf. I recognized that it was a very difficult
game and began to adjust for the fact that I just wasn't very good at
it.
I concentrated on my short game
and putting. I really worked on developing a consistently accurate 100
yard and 75 yard shot and I used the rest of my game to get me into those
ranges. And I practiced putting like crazy. I never watch TV without
a putter in my hand.
I played every hole with the idea
that par was really bogey and that the par
threes would give me a chance to break 90 if I could card a real par.
I actually got pretty good at this and play to a handicap index of
13 and my average score is usually 87 or 88. That is the average. High
scores often would
be in
mid nineties. Low score (if the putter got hot) maybe 84.
Because I
was so conscious of smoothly striking the ball, not much wrist action
was used
and my average distance off the tee was about 190 yards, average
5 iron was
about 150 yard carry, etc. The PW and 9 were my 100 yard clubs.
The sand wedge or a knock down PW was for 75 and in.
Then, cruising around the internet
one night, I see your ad and wonder...hmmmm... maybe this guy can explain
to me this strange concept
of hitting DOWN.
So, I ordered the CD and the CD-Rom and for once, actually listened
to and watched them when they arrived. What a nice, simple
way you have of conceptualizing what the club head is doing, using
that airplane analogy. Suddenly, I realized that the error in my
understanding was attempting to swing the GRIP down, not the
club head.
... continued
However, for the first time ever, I actually now can comprehend
what hitting down is
all about and what's more, I know how to accomplish it. For that, I am
forever grateful. You have done an outstanding job at explaining the golf
swing. Take care.

There are many books out there to teach
you how to play golf. All of them have lots of useful information,
tips, and techniques. Actually, that is the problem with most of them - they
have too many tips, and too much information to remember.
For a beginning golfer, simple is better. Once you get
your stance and grip right, when you address the ball, having only one thing
to think about is definitely an advantage. In this book, you only need to
remember one thing…Hit Down!
I have tried the technique, and I can attest, if you
follow this recommendation, your shots are straight, reasonably accurate and
best of all, consistent.
