One worry that was always lingering in the back of my mind was whether I could golf while pregnant. This is when I naively thought pregnancy meant giving up all physical activity for 9 months. When I finally came across a pregnant women hitting on the driving range I was relieved but also amazed. We tend to have a little extra trouble when doing a few things at once, but imagine working to sustain life, create life and on top of all that performing one of life's most difficul

I sometimes find myself wondering, "how in the world do I play golf?". Golf is such a big part of my life, yet this questions stills comes up. When I say "big part" I mean BIG. I have more golf clothes than any other variety, my golf clubs are always with me, I spend more time playing golf than any other activity, and just about all my references to life are through golf. But how am I playing the game? This game that was not apart of my childhood nor was it anything I ever ca

How do we take our game from the driving range to the golf course? This is the million dollar question, right? And In terms of Tiger Woods, this is a billion dollar question. But for most of us, answering this question is not about the money (aside from maybe those bragging rights influenced by money matches) or the fame. It's not about playing at an elite level or hitting it perfectly the entire golf round. We golfers know and respect the struggles of the game. We understand

The bunker shot is said to be the easiest shot in golf as it is the only shot where one does not actually hit the golf ball. For many of us it might not be the easiest shot in golf, but it does not need to be the most difficult. Truth be told, the greenside bunker shot is a make or break shot for your game. Whether its being fearful of hitting in the bunker or terrified of trying to get out, these emotions will adversely affect your golf swing whenever you stumble upon those

Long irons got you stuck? Well Not Anymore. Long Irons can be very frustrating to hit at times because the results don't come with the ease of say a 8 or 9 iron. That pure, flushed feeling can seem so out of reach when hitting the longer clubs. But, that does not have to be the case. And don't worry, we are not going to give you a long, drawn out explanation of what to do. It is just three simple tips. Three Focal Points to Puring The Long Irons Ball Positioning Angle of Att

Mindset is the most powerful tool we have on the golf course and in life. It has the power to create happiness and also take it away. It has the power to manipulate our movements, sway our viewpoints, sabotage our progress and lead us on a path to greatness or to disaster. It is a complex, yet simple idea, but it's power and influence is endless. So what is mindset? Well it comes down to how we view, perceive, interpret a situation or outcome, either as an expectation or a re

We have all heard, probably too many times, "Patience is a Virtue". But how often do we make a conscious effort to implement patience; patience with ourselves, our job, our kids, our golf game? We get so anxious for instant results that we lose sight of actually living and experiencing life. To quote Alabama, "we rush and rush until life's no fun". Patience is vital to our happiness. It is vital to any growth and improvement. It is vital to golf. When we implement patience,

Meditation is the key to a more successful, enjoyable experience on the golf course and in life. Meditation is a technique of limiting our focus to one thing, such as the breath, while remaining still in order to calm the mind and train our attention and awareness, resulting in a more clear and controlled emotional state. For most of us, our existence is experienced through our mind; through our thoughts and emotions.  The biggest problem with this is our thoughts and emotion

What is your greatest fear on the golf course? Honestly mine is a short putt. Probably because I put a lot of effort in to get it there and I don’t want it to be in vain. Or maybe because it should go in so when it doesn’t, its difficult to digest. Many people fear the tee shot, especial when others are watching. It perhaps defines their golfing abilities with translates into self worth. Or the dreaded bunker shot. A lot of that fear comes from lack of practice in that positi

lt is about EMPOWERING yourself. CHALLENGING yourself. LEARNING about yourself. There are two aspects to golf, the physical and the mental. Both are a constant roller coaster ride that will send us into twists, turns and plunges. We both love and hate the ride at the same time. The physical aspect of golf requires a lot of focused repetition and specific practice. It's building up from tenaciously reached plateaus. When we are not standing on a plateau we are climbing up a st

What do you think is the most important shot in golf? Most of us would say the tee shot. Many players, amateurs and PGA Tour and LPGA Tour players alike, spend countless hours working on their driver swing. This makes sense since the tee shot sets the stage and the mood for the hole. It can start you off with an advantage or disadvantage, putting you ahead of your competitors or just giving you the chance to make your first birdie. When executed correctly the drive can boost
