Play Better Golf - The Next Time You Play

Play Better Golf - The Next Time You Play or Why not even Tiger Woods can teach you to play better golf! WARNING: This is for the average golfer who wants to play better golf without putting in the time. Dear Fellow Golfer, Bold statement, isn't it? Come on! Be honest! How can you expect him to think like you? Tiger Woods played competitive golf since he was a kid. By the time he was 19 he had won 3 U.S. Junior Amateurs and 3 U.S. Amateurs. He was never a golfer like you and me, and he cannot begin to understand what we think or how we think. Although both the game we play, and the game he plays, are called golf, he plays a totally different game to us. Fact: Not even the pro's can play golf like Tiger Woods, how can you and me? Let's face a few facts. Tell me, how many of the books you've read, the videos you've watched and the lessons and tips you got over the years had a lasting effect on your golf game? Unless you spent some time practicing to make the changes, not many I'm sure. Face it, if you've played the game for any length of time, the swing you have now is the swing that will have to do the trick for you - unless you are going to change and put in a lot more time practicing some changes. And by practicing I do not mean pounding buckets of balls on the driving range, hoping that by some miracle you will find the perfect swing, I mean taking serious lessons and practising under supervision. The proof of the pudding: When I wrote this book about 3 years ago I was playing about 4 rounds of golf a year and still played to my last official handicap (1999). So I analysed why this was possible. The result was "Mind Games: 10 Mind Lessons Guaranteed To Improve Your Golf Game Instantly". For the past 2 1/2 years I haven't played any golf. Not a single round. In fact I had even sold my golf clubs. So it was with trepidation and exitement that I accept an invitation to golf day on 29 August on a course that I've never played. Trepidation because I hadn't played golf for so long and could be making a fool of myself. Exitement because I could test what I wrote in "Mind Games: 10 Mind Lessons Guaranteed To Improve Your Golf Game Instantly". To be honest, I didn't go in the game completely cold. With my son's old MacGregor RD irons and my late father-in-law's Olimar woods I Hit a bucket of balls on the driving range about two weeks before the game and Played 12 holes on a par 3 course, pull-drawing a lot of my shots and duffing virtually all my chips Hit a bucket of balls on the driving range before the game trying to sort out the pull-draw Spent 20 minutes on the putting green. The course didn't have a chipping green so I couldn't practice that. I took a golf cart because my golf fitness isn't quite up to scratch, focused on the lessons from "Mind Games" and hoped for the best. The result: "Mind Games: 10 Mind Lessons Guaranteed To Improve Your Golf Game Instantly" works! I shot an 85 from my 1999 13 handicap on the par 72 6,417 meters (7150 yards) Pretoria Country club course. Here's my unedited card: Even though I hadn't played golf for 2 1/2 years I could still hold my own on the golf course. My drives were long and straight. My longest drive was 290 m (320 yds) with a breeze from behind and slightly downhill My chipping and putting worked On a few holes my approaches from under 100 m (110 yds) were not very good though I am satisfied that the lessons in "Mind Games: 10 Mind Lessons Guaranteed To Improve Your Golf Game Instantly" work and that you will also benefit from them. Mind Games: 10 Mind Lessons Guaranteed To Improve Your Golf Game Instantly will improve your golf game. Jens du Plessis 1 Sept 2006 Back to Tiger, or most other golf pro's, and you.

Make no mistake, I am a major fan of Tiger Woods - ever since I first read about himwhen he was 13 years old. I just do not believe he can teach the average golfer much. He plays a WAAYYY different game to us. And for us to try and copy his game, or some other pro's game, is a road to heartache and frustration. Even the average golf pro cannot think like the average amateur golfer. They play the game at a different level and the things that will really help you play better golf are second nature to them, they do not even think about it. I am not saying that they cannot give you the technical
