Free Golf Lessons and eGuide!?
My last post was kind of spur of the moment. I had just watched Justin Leonard lose a tournament that was his to win…….and had the idea to start some discussion on this blog. If you have not visited here before I am in the midst of finalizing an e-guide (aka e-book) on the basics of the golf swing. At least my philosophy of it.
So I thought about offering a free copy to who could answer the question I asked in last week’s post. Again it was a bit spur of the moment. Frankly, it was not well thought out. If you did not actually watch the coverage (the 18th tee shot at the Bob Hope Classic by Justin Leonard) you would have no idea what I was talking about as I could not supply a video of the actual shot in question!
Therefore, I think it would be fun, and hopefully instructional to cover various aspects of the golf game. I would like to generate some discussion, give some free tips and lessons and hopefully award some free copies of my upcoming golf swing instructional e-guide, The Effortless Power Golf Swing.Â
How about Tiger. The greatest? I would have to say yes. (and I’m a big Jack Nicklaus fan) but what makes him the best is he has all the shots. His short game is as good as anyone that has ever played the game. Most golfers get way too caught up in how far they hit the ball, instead of trying to get it in the hole. Take a lesson from Tiger this week, work on the short game. If you spent 70% of your practice time on chipping and putting, I would bet that most of you could drop your handicaps by 2 to 5 shots easily. My question this week for one of my ebooks if answered correctly is “how do you control distance in the short game.” Hint: how far you take the club back is not the answer.  Good luck!

hi Bobby,
I was just persuing the internet and wondering if David Lee had brought out his Videos on DVD yet when came across your website. Have always been a big fan of your brothers work and definitely hasn’t had the credit he deserves…
Was just wondering if he is working with any Tour Pros just now, had heard he was working with Troy Matheson last year, was that correct…
Will take a stab at your question: To control the distance in the short game shots (according to david) would be to control the speed and length of the swing through the intensity of the ‘heave’ on initiating the backswing.
Will watch out for your continuing posts and your subsequent e-book!
Best wishes,
Joe

[...] 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. [...]
