Golf Driving Tips – Why All My Golf Buddies Are Jealous
Filed Under: Golf Driving Tips
Hey guys, Robert here.
Thought I’d share my story about why all my golf buddies are jealous. You see, 3 months ago I was shooting in the mid 80s. Now, I’ve started playing scratch golf.
And my golf buddies are jealous….
We’ve been playing together for almost 10 years. I could keep my own, but rarely won. I was usually the guy that was buying beers for everyone after the 18th hole. (Because I was usually the guy that lost)
Finally I was tired of being “that guy.” I wasn’t trying to be a professional golfer, but I wanted to have that shot that everyone talked about after we played. I wanted to consistently hit those perfect drives down the middle of the fairway.
So I started doing a little research.
I started looking online first. I found a few helpful videos. I found some articles that people had written about having the right grip, the right stance and all that, but it wasn’t much help. But, I needed someone who could help me put it all together.
I looked into the golf instructors at the club, but they were too expensive for my taste. I love playing golf, but I’m not willing to pay thousands of dollars to knock a few points off my score.
I started talking to an old college buddy about my situation. I knew he played golf back when we were in school. He said that he knew exactly where I was at. He said that not long ago he really started looking into how to break par and start shooting in the 60s.
He told me about these online golf lessons that he started going though. He said it helped him hit the ball straighter off the tee. He also said that it gave him some great drills that helped him hit more greens.
He e-mailed me a link to the website and recommended that I check it out. It was called The Simple Golf Swing. The program was really simple. It helped my identify a few key problems with my swing. It gave me some really simple drills to work out the bad habits I’ve developed in my swing.
After working through it in my backyard a few times, I hopped in my car and headed to the driving range. I got a bucket of balls and pulled out my irons and hit a few warm up shots.
My new swing felt a little awkward, but the ball was flying straighter than it normally did. I decided to really give it the true test. I pulled out my arch enemy, my driver. I lined up my shot and bam, 245 yards, straight as an arrow. I teed up another ball, same thing – 250 yards and perfectly straight.
I couldn’t believe it.
7 out of the next 8 shots were some of the best I had ever hit. It felt good. I’ve now been at it for 3 months and have knocked 10 shots off my game. I even shot a 70 a few weeks ago. I’ve never shot below par before.
I feel good about my game now…and my golf buddies are jealous. I finally gave in and shared the website with my friends.
Here’s the website that I showed them: The Simple Golf Swing
