Losing distance is the big complaint among men golfers. The biggest reason is because all their golfing buddies are outdriving them by 20 or more yards. Most golfers can’t stand losing distance, even if they hit their drives down the middle of the fairway only 10 yards shorter.
If you’re one of those golfers, let me help you regain distance and reach your true driving distance.
The loss of distance is because of a lack of effort. Many of these golfers’ swings look a fight with a frozen snake. But is your body moving in the same direction as your golf club?
On your backswing, you should turn in the same direction as the club. On a follow through, your body should be moving forward with the club.
If you are leaning forward on your backswing or leaning back on your follow through, you are losing distance. If you swing your club as fast as Zorro moves his sword, chances are you body cannot keep up with your club.
This can cause a loss of distance.
One of the major differences between the PGA Tour players and our weekend warriors is the effortless power of a professional player.
If you need help regaining your distance with effortless power, see one of our local PGA or LPGA teaching professionals. We enjoy helping you regain your distance as much as you enough hitting your drives longer.
Demo Day at Ridgemark
Ridgemark will be hosting a Demo Day on Sunday. Swing by Saturday, for a fitting. Please check out our ad in this issue for more details.
Please Use the Restrooms
Since I have the men golfers’ attention, please use the restrooms provided on golf courses to relieve yourselves.
Homeowners surrounding golf courses and other golfers do not appreciate seeing you relieving yourself on a tree, bush, or fence. Most golf courses provide a restroom for every 3 to 5 holes.
With restrooms in the clubhouse and on the golf course, there is no reason not to use a restroom. By the way, if you relieve yourself in public it is a misdemeanor and a possible felony. It’s not worth it, so please use the restrooms.
Previous Tip Working
My partner in the friendly Ryder Cup matches with San Juan Oaks has been using my tip to keep his eyes closed during his chips to prevent the yips.
I am keeping my eyes closed when putting for the same reason. So the team of Leo Villar and myself are now referred to the team of “The Blind leading the Blind.”
