Back from Palm Springs, ready for Spring!

Arrived in Bartlesville, Oklahoma and started my new job as golf pro on Friday. The golf course looks great, but was under a sheet of ice. :o I had a good four days in Palm Springs, CA. I worked with my student on the tempo of his takeaway on the golf course and it made all the difference. How about Tiger’s comeback against J.B. Holmes. Pretty determined fellow. Tiger still hits his driver crooked. If you think you know why, let me know and if you answer correctly, I’ll send you my e-book, The Effortless Power Golf Swing, for free. We hope to be finished within the next two weeks.

Golf Short Game Answer & Winner

A few posts ago, I offered up a free copy of my coming ebook The Effortless Power Golf Swing. The question was, ‘how do you control distance in the short game’. Well, Joe answered correctly! It seems he has either meet my brother David and/or read his book! (Gravity Golf, by David Lee). The old post and Joe’s answer (as a comment) are here: Free Golf Lessons and eGuide.

Distance is determined by the “intensity” of the backswing. David uses the term “heave” for the initiation of this beginning movement of the golf swing. The amount of force you exert on the backswing determines the speed and length of the swing. A common mistake is to think about the length of your backswing and/or the follow through on shorter shots. What you need to learn is the speed of the backswing.

Once we get my current ebook finished, which will cover the fundamentals and principles needed…….a foundation if you will, I plan to write a short game guide with videos of drills. In my opinion a lot of people make this way more complicated then it has to be. You can learn proper technique and more importantly what to practice and HOW to practice.

I am in Palm Springs, CA now (actually LaQuinta) as a student wanted a weekend of golf and instruction before I start my new job in OK. I saw and meet Doug Sanders today in fact! Will relay that and any other stories from ‘the desert’ when I get back next week. We had some technical difficulties, in regards to finalizing the ebook that look like they are ironed out and will get that finished ASAP. Joe we will email your copy when completed. Thanks for visiting and commenting.

The Effortless Power Golf Swing….

is coming soon! I was hoping this would have been available by now, yet Murphy’s Law has given us a few challenges. My host for this blog has been upgrading and moving and I really did not want to have a sales page for a few weeks and then have to move back. Also, a dear friend of mine passed away and I went to his funeral. During all this, I have been in negotiation for a new job which was just concluded yesterday. I will be the golf pro at Adams Municipal Golf Course, in Bartlesville Oklahoma starting the first of the month. So anyone in OK, or traveling through there this summer look me up!

This weekend I plan to add some audio and maybe some video to get the e-book, The Effortless Power Golf Swing completed. I see no one took me up on my offer in my last post!? :( LOL  We have some plans to do some fun contests for those that care to participate. The rewards will be some gratis ebooks and maybe some lessons. We have always planned to offer video and phone lessons, and are investigating the most efficient way to do that.  That will be later in the year as well as downloadable videos of the key drills I use with my students. However, the first priority is to finish up the tech stuff for my basic golf instruction e-guide. My host is hoping we should be fully operational by next week. I definately want to get this up before my move in  3 weeks!
