The first step is to find your standing balance, stand up straight close your eyes and feel for how your weight is distributed in your feet. Once you can feel your standing balance you need to practice taking your posture maintaining standing balance. As we bend from our hips and unlock our knees the movement of our head forward and our bottom backwards should counterbalance each other enabling us to maintain standing balance. </div></div>Improve your golf with Jamohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03586067078263583997noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-445080609935260977.post-53024300340762478132009-10-07T05:37:00.000-07:002009-10-07T05:39:01.777-07:00Why golf is the greatest game<br /><br />As complex as people make golf out to be it really isn’t in fact golf is one of the simplest games. Simple because the aim of golf is to hit a ball the least amount of times possible to get it into a hole, and then repeat the same task on holes of different length and feature until the game is over. Golf is typically played over 18 holes although socially 9 holes of golf is very common, professionals play a tournament over 72 holes in four days. The reason why golf is great though is that golf has a handicap system to even out golfers of all standards so they can play and enjoy golf together.<br />To understand how a handicap works we first must understand the concept of “Par”. Par is the amount of shots allocated to play a particular hole for a perfect golfer; there are typically three different types of holes on a golf course Par 3’s, Par 4’s and Par 5’s. The ideal is that to play a hole in Par you will have 2 putts, so on a par three you would take one hit to put the ball on the green followed by two putts for your Par 3. Therefore on a par four you would take two hits and two putts and on a par 5 three hits and two putts for your par. If you played golf like this it would by the golfing world be termed as regulation golf, if you have watched or played golf however you will have noticed that it tends to be anything but regulation a lot of the time even for the professionals. This matters little as it is the score on the card that matters at the end of the day not how many of each type of shot we hit.<br /> The Par of all the holes on the course is then added up to give us the par of the course, typically around 72 and our handicap is calculated relative to that Par. So if you consistently scored 100 your handicap would be 28 allowing you to take off 28 shots from your score at the end of your round to give you the magic par 72 score, and as your typical score came down so would your handicap. This adjusted score is referred to as your Nett Score. Handicaps also work to even out the best golfers for instance if you had a one of the worlds best professionals playing at your club and they consistently had only 66 shots the would be given a +6 handicap meaning at the end of there round they would have to add 6 shots to give them their Nett score. This is why golf is the greatest game as you can see it is very possible that an in experienced golfer off a 28 handicap could play a game of golf with one of the worlds best compete over 18 holes and beat them. There is no way this could happen in any other sport imagine a game of tennis between a novice and the world best not only could the novice not compete but both parties would no doubt struggle to enjoy the experience.<br />It is worth noting that professional and elite amateur events are played without using handicaps to truly find out who is the best golfer. So sorry no British Open trophy without a few years of practice.Improve your golf with Jamohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03586067078263583997noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-445080609935260977.post-31687329670478984402009-05-17T02:09:00.000-07:002009-05-17T02:12:36.845-07:00Hit it further than ever before<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNe6fG8xTP0hyphenhyphen31wrcUAZPkjIOJM2Ct9oM8_rweH-CY64hrHuAnh2uD52Hwb8AxeENnOLQr-IuOeNIMbmqqh-3E0JhYt1wkgUxuwcNLqiKxCTR4QB4gpR7V2Hd4Sko-RvqJvTti_JnR0lw/s1600-h/IMG_1078.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336718084224057794" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNe6fG8xTP0hyphenhyphen31wrcUAZPkjIOJM2Ct9oM8_rweH-CY64hrHuAnh2uD52Hwb8AxeENnOLQr-IuOeNIMbmqqh-3E0JhYt1wkgUxuwcNLqiKxCTR4QB4gpR7V2Hd4Sko-RvqJvTti_JnR0lw/s320/IMG_1078.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXbjmvSJW2v6gAn2oMdlxrRSiLe-jzBOLI723wCeWjwrW8-4f-H-vxxO2OwDwyYFkwTRPQ6PJrXF-_01YP5mkpjdFgAKJaZ3Qc561cw1WesM4C6SzHIxpPXvDFnAHMvIVUG08WeRhxMgc3/s1600-h/IMG_1077.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336717927991072290" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXbjmvSJW2v6gAn2oMdlxrRSiLe-jzBOLI723wCeWjwrW8-4f-H-vxxO2OwDwyYFkwTRPQ6PJrXF-_01YP5mkpjdFgAKJaZ3Qc561cw1WesM4C6SzHIxpPXvDFnAHMvIVUG08WeRhxMgc3/s320/IMG_1077.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div>Learning how to use your legs properly is the key to generating extra clubhead speed and consistency.<br />At set up our knees should be equally flexed as demonstrated in the picture. However in the backswing as our body rotates our left leg will flex more than at address and our right leg will straighten slightly (right handed golfer). It is a common misconception that the right leg doesn’t straighten in the backswing. However because we bend forward at the hips to play golf when our hips turn in the backswing the right side goes slightly up and the left slightly down in the backswing, as seen in picture two.</div></div>Improve your golf with Jamohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03586067078263583997noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-445080609935260977.post-73786993889750442352009-05-17T02:06:00.000-07:002009-05-17T02:09:23.977-07:00impact and the down swing<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQa-huqsk5bcj0_2fpMw23HoghcXeq8uqVolJd5xji97xDXORxlREJs0ha76KTMB_Q3xou3kwixis_1QWKoQW55SO-v9JWsJHdd38CGlrQCk3dJpSs3DwYodLXluE5-2o8j7y1kfOlW_E7/s1600-h/IMG_1083.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336717333930603746" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQa-huqsk5bcj0_2fpMw23HoghcXeq8uqVolJd5xji97xDXORxlREJs0ha76KTMB_Q3xou3kwixis_1QWKoQW55SO-v9JWsJHdd38CGlrQCk3dJpSs3DwYodLXluE5-2o8j7y1kfOlW_E7/s320/IMG_1083.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>The opposite happens in the downswing and follow through only in a more dramatic action because our body is far more rotated. Notice in the picture of an ideal impact position the left leg is fully extended and the right leg is flexed this is due to our hips being 45 to 55 degrees open at the moment of impact. The flexing and extending of our legs into impact is the ultimate power move and should lead the rest of our body and club into impact.</div>Improve your golf with Jamohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03586067078263583997noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-445080609935260977.post-26818518995011920622009-05-17T02:05:00.000-07:002009-05-17T02:06:22.496-07:00finish<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6SdekSQfJ0_N2hyphenhyphenjP5Lz8YQAgQpGWdaD6D0Z4pmhik9sXDnupQk6xkH3PM8VcHXXclYpn9Ejm4Xpt1XZcGMRzxXRaXw3LxefKmkuvWxPBM46yQFLNg5d0isALqTVLOy9DBfb7kI3MdItz/s1600-h/IMG_1084.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336716604533094146" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6SdekSQfJ0_N2hyphenhyphenjP5Lz8YQAgQpGWdaD6D0Z4pmhik9sXDnupQk6xkH3PM8VcHXXclYpn9Ejm4Xpt1XZcGMRzxXRaXw3LxefKmkuvWxPBM46yQFLNg5d0isALqTVLOy9DBfb7kI3MdItz/s320/IMG_1084.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>More of the same happens through to our balanced finish practice this and I guarantee you more consistent and longer shots. </div>Improve your golf with Jamohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03586067078263583997noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-445080609935260977.post-64543560763898480352009-05-17T02:02:00.001-07:002009-05-17T02:02:52.211-07:00Improve in 2009With spring in the air it is time to dust of the clubs and get back to the golf course, the only question is, are you actually going to improving your golf this year or keep being frustrated by you same old faults. As a golf coach who has coached golfers of all levels, the one thing I see which is common to most, is at some point they hit the glass ceiling of improvement and sit in the middle management of golf for the rest of their days.<br />So what I am going to ask you to do is approach your golf like a business plan and objectively assess your game and set some realistic goals for better golf. The objective measures I am talking about are the Statistics readily available on all of the best players in the world and you need to know them in order to improve your own game. <br />· Fairways hit <br />· Greens in regulation<br />· Sand saves<br />· Chipping up and downs<br />· Total putts<br />You should also ask yourself after each round whether your decision making and strategy assisted or hindered your day. A bit like a mini appraisal, just like one you would hold with any staff member you were trying to help improve their skills.<br />Setting realistic goals is easier once you have the above information because you will have an objective measure of where the weakest parts of your game are, and just as important you will know when you have made an improvement no matter how small.<br />Armed with this information you can now head to your local golf professional and take lessons specific to the area of your game that most needs help, and remember once you have taken a lesson or read one of my tips it is important to give it a chance to work. Consistent is what consistent does once deciding to take a course of action you need to follow it through for at least a month to receive any benefit.Improve your golf with Jamohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03586067078263583997noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-445080609935260977.post-75284300144901432582008-10-20T06:14:00.000-07:002008-10-20T06:21:11.107-07:00Long Putting need wrists<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTW8pyOzLMGvdqqAatsTW9k-VbaCWqSZ1ajIMqNVOKuMdxEvv-sB9k_K60_0yLmEIdKDt32qB2m0I42KAT6raI8Jx0uupUqFLJO5-n76aJv2JQVol78mmN0u80rtJNWMb94lMqGpUSsVlR/s1600-h/IMG_0161.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259223907581673042" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTW8pyOzLMGvdqqAatsTW9k-VbaCWqSZ1ajIMqNVOKuMdxEvv-sB9k_K60_0yLmEIdKDt32qB2m0I42KAT6raI8Jx0uupUqFLJO5-n76aJv2JQVol78mmN0u80rtJNWMb94lMqGpUSsVlR/s320/IMG_0161.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>A big mistake made by alot of golfer when hitting long putts is to use the same stroke that they would use on a short putt. A wrist less putting stroke is great for being accurate on short putts but simply wont do it for distance control on long putts where pace is more important than line. If you look at this picture and the two below you will see how at set up my putter shaft points between my arms, in the backswing it lines up with my left arm and in the follow through it lines up with my right arm. practice this and your long putting will improve. </div>Improve your golf with Jamohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03586067078263583997noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-445080609935260977.post-45696076482391436782008-10-20T06:09:00.000-07:002008-10-20T06:14:05.579-07:00Long Putting needs wrist action<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOzb-KLxWj-EQxgMlTNJMHV6AdJ0dzvFzskctZo29wmGwo8Y35VDG5Yg2cbNzw3Fx2sKexM9tAw-6ImsKHXLBxAMz7uswA8qt140-1qQpxCl-aE9vjyiYSJyGVcWLW_xDcMxucX7oVAerh/s1600-h/IMG_0160.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259223339474806642" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOzb-KLxWj-EQxgMlTNJMHV6AdJ0dzvFzskctZo29wmGwo8Y35VDG5Yg2cbNzw3Fx2sKexM9tAw-6ImsKHXLBxAMz7uswA8qt140-1qQpxCl-aE9vjyiYSJyGVcWLW_xDcMxucX7oVAerh/s320/IMG_0160.JPG" border="0" /></a> notice how in the backsswing my wrist have hinged so now the shaft lines up with my left arm<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrPEV_GomrEJJJ-iRLyUBc7S-f_edSQwmRryuGJucoLCDQBHzTRYsguGg_f8tsfqNMbrWk0O7ft7RnuJFRSNjPctILvIMK9lHgHtpFEd8C5gqP8xVxNBGQz9xoOdx6WeC8qkwXj3GRuB8o/s1600-h/IMG_0159.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259223007753887154" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrPEV_GomrEJJJ-iRLyUBc7S-f_edSQwmRryuGJucoLCDQBHzTRYsguGg_f8tsfqNMbrWk0O7ft7RnuJFRSNjPctILvIMK9lHgHtpFEd8C5gqP8xVxNBGQz9xoOdx6WeC8qkwXj3GRuB8o/s320/IMG_0159.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div></div></div>Improve your golf with Jamohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03586067078263583997noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-445080609935260977.post-89344467891340801352008-10-06T05:07:00.000-07:002008-10-06T05:18:47.975-07:00The Tee Shot 17th St Andrews<p><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzuj8SH6yyqbBZshxE209aBgkuxP8HptBu7WVUW2ioc_NPFiALt22SSjoOecjEACKgwHj07r6jwrMdnArNN0A' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></p><p>About the most famous Blind tee shot in the world is the 17th at the Old Course St Andrews.

Each day on tour the fitness van is Roberts first and last point of call. Two hours before each round Rob warms up on the bike for about 10 minutes then does a mixtures of wieghts and stretches for 20 minutes before hitting balls. After each round Rob does more cardio wieghts and stretches to make sure his body is ready for the next day. The moral of the story is if you warm up your body before each round you have a better chance of playing to your potential.</div>Improve your golf with Jamohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03586067078263583997noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-445080609935260977.post-23560622234266201362008-09-25T18:54:00.000-07:002008-09-25T18:55:53.951-07:00Inside the fitnes van<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJpSk2H-_5_yw9cgz_nc-h_mh0BTguSPO7R8wuLruafLi6xF1RMYEwvpYzxXRT3u2cLkYBP0QmA8TKxeTSRDHnmaLiKfbMtXQfFP2Na9o5HqD2KwKHPvtkCRJlRKZnushppAqonwS0n_va/s1600-h/IMG_0485.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250142807505137778" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJpSk2H-_5_yw9cgz_nc-h_mh0BTguSPO7R8wuLruafLi6xF1RMYEwvpYzxXRT3u2cLkYBP0QmA8TKxeTSRDHnmaLiKfbMtXQfFP2Na9o5HqD2KwKHPvtkCRJlRKZnushppAqonwS0n_va/s320/IMG_0485.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSwsYxIOWuaXxg_o9GtlN-Ltju5wVPaUiKeVO3vKjLvp8oN38JZOtQUY5E45jx-UkGxKc2OzKpluE_yXkZ0dqZgfKtjmE6XjJyfnt1v9C-JyR7KkNBuXRIiXl7uXwqP_UUP4bFKeuG02c3/s1600-h/IMG_0484.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250142668421198834" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSwsYxIOWuaXxg_o9GtlN-Ltju5wVPaUiKeVO3vKjLvp8oN38JZOtQUY5E45jx-UkGxKc2OzKpluE_yXkZ0dqZgfKtjmE6XjJyfnt1v9C-JyR7KkNBuXRIiXl7uXwqP_UUP4bFKeuG02c3/s320/IMG_0484.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div></div></div>Improve your golf with Jamohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03586067078263583997noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-445080609935260977.post-89853499807340377552008-09-25T18:50:00.000-07:002008-09-25T18:54:19.479-07:00Cars for the players<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPvrG_AP_FfqDwkuIzwfvxStBils8AOsLRmO2qBfbWPyA5EbT6w5-B4xZd-MyoWisnLM6jZ1gPEoniCPjgcczaLLdG2Q-BKoo2AHcdyLxUYOhBxcHCwhfRy3WJ8NFx7VicT_T_mLCxHPVL/s1600-h/IMG_0479.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250141742380753666" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPvrG_AP_FfqDwkuIzwfvxStBils8AOsLRmO2qBfbWPyA5EbT6w5-B4xZd-MyoWisnLM6jZ1gPEoniCPjgcczaLLdG2Q-BKoo2AHcdyLxUYOhBxcHCwhfRy3WJ8NFx7VicT_T_mLCxHPVL/s320/IMG_0479.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Ever wonder how the PGA tour players get around each week.

The clubs on the right were my Grandfathers and the other set mine. Not only are there more clubs and the shafts steel and graphite instead of wood, but the lenghts are also massively different with the only wood in my Granfathers bag being the same lenght as my 3 iron.<br />The clubs have changed as have the balls and the equipment which maintains the course. However the love of the game is still the same.</div>Improve your golf with Jamohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03586067078263583997noreply@blogger.com0
