a downturn. For
this reason, I'm
offering a bimonthly
contest.
For Oct/Nov, the winner will receive a $50 credit
towards anything
sold from my site. Download

I've had some great success with the Tour
Tempo CD sound tracks. I've hit balls listening to the
tempos and even played
on the course. I'm
impressed how good
my timing and ball
striking are; the
problem is transferring
it to the course
without using the
CD aid. It concludes
that all good pros
have a 3 to 1 swing
tempo (backswing
to forward swing).
Total swings times vary (slow
and fast). Most amateurs'
backswings are too
slow. I suggest to
read it. It comes
with a CD of audios
that can train the
proper tempo for you. Get
it here.
You owe it to your game to make the best of your
abilities; become "
Master of Your Own
Game". Stand out and improve, even without hitting any balls!!
Here's to a long lasting life of great golf!

A Brief Message
Nov

Ken here from Probable
Golf Instruction.
For those of
us still playing,
we're not hitting
the ball as far
because of colder
temperatures.
Have you noticed
coming up short
more often? Find
out how much
shorter you hit
it given the
temperature here.
I can send you
a matrix of your
club distances over a range
of temperatures.
- In
my last newsletter,
I revealed
some of the results
from my own studies
of amateur golfer
statistics. Previous
to that, I presented
other stats that
emphasized the
importance of a
strong short game aka Dave
Pelz's Short Game Bible.
View the newsletter here.
-
In this issue,
I'll review
with you the
importance
of exercise
and stretching
for golf improvement.
There is lots
one can do
over the winter
months to maintain
and improve
those golfing
muscles.
- To compensate for lost distance due to cooler
temperatures, try
keeping your golf
balls warm. You'll
realize some extra
distance. Begin
with 3 warms balls
(that have been
inside your house
prior to play).
Place one under
your armpit (against
the skin) for about
10 minutes or more
to warm it up.
Keep the other
two in your front
pocket. Rotate
through the balls
as you play (one
per hole, of course).
Keep the one you're
going to play on
the next hole under
your arm for as
long as possible.
- CaddyPatch
Impressions just received "approval" by
the PGA Tour Parteners Club members after
their test of 1,000
oversized CaddyPatches
by 1,000 different members. Approval will be announced in
the Sept/Oct issue of the PGA Tour Partners
Club magazine. Take
a look at them here.
They are a
leather patch
that fits on
the face of
the club. You
can determine
how you are
mishitting
the ball.
Until Jan 1, 2005, with every purchase you'll receive free shipping and a bonus
patch.

topic.

Improve Your Game
without New Equipment
-- How?
There
have been a number of
studies over the past
few years on the effects
of aging on golf performance.
Many of these studies
have been published in
the "Science and Golf" series
by the World Scientific
Congress of Golf. The
results of these studies
that focused on professionals
and amateurs alike have
some common themes. The "facts" of
aging are:
1. strength and flexibility
decrease with age
2. endurance and stamina
decrease with age
3. score increases with
age
4. distance decreases with
age
5. golfers peak in their
early 30s
In the last decade, golf
technology has dramatically
improved the golfer's ability
to reverse the effects
of aging. We are now starting
to see we are reaching
the limits of what technology
can give to our games.
Plus, the USGA is setting
strict limitations. Now,
spending $400 on a new
driver will not improve
our games as much. We need
to refocus on improving
ourselves to improve our
games.
Imagine the analogy of
maintaining your car. Over
the course of 20 years,
what if the only thing
you did to maintain your
car was to buy new tires,
the part the connects the
car to the road. No lube
and oil changes. No filter
changes. No tune ups. How
well would your car be
running after 20 years?
Your golf club is what
connects you to the ball.
There is only so much the
club can do. You need to
focus on improving yourself,
the engine and transmission.
How can you improve your
game without buying new
technology? How can you
reverse are slow the effects
of aging, less strength
and flexibility. I believe
we can all make improvements
in the area of our physical
fitness and our mental
outlooks. Physical fitness
for golf is much different
than other sports. Getting
a program that works is
not readily available until
now. Improve your length
off the tee, your endurance
and your well being by
getting on a program. How?
Check out Mike Pedersen's
Golf Trainer program.
If you are looking to improve
your game and feel you
need to improve your flexibility
and strength specific to
golf, I strongly recommend
Mike Pedersen's Golf Trainer
'Power Performance Progam'.
Mike has helped thousands
of golfers all over the
world improve their games
with his online golf fitness
program. It is like having
your own Golf Fitness Trainer,
but at a fraction of the
price. Click
here to go there now.
I highly recommend it.
Mike
has also just recently
made available an e-book,
called Ultimate
Golf Fitness Ebook, dedicated
to guiding you on your
own golf
fitness program. So,
if you are more of a
do-it-your-selfer, take
a look at his book. It
explains what to work
on and how to monitor
your progress.
A list of resources that have been used to produce this newsletter
can be found on my
website here.
The focus
of my site
is to utilize science
and math to lower
your score. New technology
is one
way to achieve this,
but to be honest,
the technology is
one small piece of
the puzzle.
To actually improve significantly,
we all need to:
1. Improve our swings using CD
Interactive, Hit
Down Dammit!
2. Learn how to swing simpler
like the Iron Byron
with the great coffee
table book, Swing
Machine Golf!
3. Improve our physical fitness
and strength.
The
Golf Trainer Power
Performance Program™ and Ultimate
Golf Fitness Ebook
4. Improve our mental games.
Golf
Mind Software
5. Improve our Probable
Golf games.
Learn how to make better
choices on the course
through knowing how
shot patterns and reading
the elements and course
better.
Click on the links above to
take a look at
ways that I personally
use myself and
recommend you try
as well.
Hope
I provided some useful
ways for to become
better prepared for
you best golf season
ever.
