Improve Your Drive - Tip 4

You should be realistic with your drive because being more consistent with a drive and knowing where you are going to actually be able to hit it and how far you will be able to as well. This will allow you to think about your ball placement and make your game much more manageable.

Control Your Anger on the Course

Thought I would share a tip with you today about one of the more

mental sides of a golf game.

Imagine yourself out on the course and you hit a bad shot. In all

likelihood you are not going to be a happy camper. Some of us might

even take this aggression out on the club slamming it to the ground

or chunking it across the field. Maybe even throwing in a few

keywords our mothers would be ashamed to hear come out of our

mouths. All of this just out of the frustration of one poor shot.

After this happens you might find yourself approaching your shot a

little bit differently often with a roaring temper. You may want to

take out every ounce of anger on that darn little ball that didn't

go where it was supposed to.

Here is where you should stop yourself, calm down for a second and

think your shot through.

After all you might have had one lousy shot, but if you do well on

this one could you could obviously make up for it. There is no

point in making your position any worse than it already might be.

Do what you need to do in order to calm down and refocus yourself.

Whether that means counting to ten or taking a couple of practice

swings to get you reoriented.

Just remember the next time you are out on the links and you hit a

poor shot to calm down and don't take your anger out on the ball.

Two poor shots is obviously worse than one bad shot.

Hope this helps you guys and gals out.

Driving Tip # 3

Driving Tips - Golf

Play the course to your playing style not the playing style to your course. Pay attention to where you place your tee between the tee markers, placing it in the dead center is not always going to be your best bet. The course is designed to have curves to make you play around, so hitting at an angle can sometimes work to your favor.

Golf Driving Tips - #1

Understand that your swing for a driver is not going to be the same as it is for one of your irons. This is a general tip that most people simply do not understand. If you don't get this you are not going to be the best golfer possible.

Golfing Challenge

Golfing Challenge

A golf pro dragged himself into the clubhouse looking as though he'd just escaped a tornado.

"What's wrong?" a woman asked.

"I just lost a game to Houlihan," the pro said.

"What? But Houlihan's the worst player I've ever seen. How could he have beaten you?"

"He tricked me," the pro said. "On the first tee, he asked for a handicap. I told him he could have 30, 40, 50 strokes- any handicap he wanted.

He said, 'Just give me two gotchas."

"What's a gotcha?" asked the woman. "That's what I wanted to know," the pro said. "Houlihan said, 'You'll see.' Then, as I was teeing off, just as I had my club poised, he screamed out 'Gotcha!'"

"I can guess what happened," the woman said.

"Sure," the pro said. "The scream threw me off, and I missed the ball completely."

"Understandable," the woman said. "But still, that's only one swing. How did he win the game?"

The pro answered, "You try swinging at a golf ball all day while waiting for that second 'gotcha!'"

Golf Therapy

Eileen and her husband Bob went for counseling after 25 years of marriage.

When asked what the problem was, Eileen went into a passionate, painful tirade listing every problem they had ever had in the 25 years they had been married. She went on and on and on: neglect, lack of intimacy, emptiness, loneliness, feeling unloved and unlovable, an entire laundry list of unmet needs she had endured over the course of their marriage. Finally, after allowing this to go on for a sufficient length of time, the therapist got up, walked around the desk and after asking Eileen to stand, embraced her, unbuttoned her blouse and bra, put his hands on her breasts and massaged them thoroughly, while kissing her passionately as her husband Bob watched with a raised eyebrow!

After a few minutes the therapist stepped away, Eileen buttoned up her blouse, and quietly sat down while basking in the glow of being highly aroused. The therapist turned to Bob and said, 'This is what your wife needs at least three times a week. Can you do this? Bob thought for a moment and replied, 'Well, I can drop her off here on Mondays and Wednesdays, but on Fridays, I play golf.
