Tom Lehman Driver Swing Analysis

Junger Woods Golf Psychology - Golf is not a game of Perfect!

0 Comments Published May 12th, 2008 in Course Strategy, Golf Psychology, Junger Woods, Swing Tips.

Golf is not a game of perfect, and this is a fact. Even all the championship winners, they have so many swing flaws. It’s a great thing they don’t tell you and Tiger is probably being more honest than most.

There’s even a great golf psychology book named, “Golf is not a game of Perfect”.

Now, the correct mind set on the golf course to play your best is to accept the fact that you are not perfect golfer and you do not have a perfect swing.

No one in the world actually has a perfect swing, because it doesn’t exist! Tiger Woods will be first to tell you that.

If you cannot get through this, you will have a tough time dealing with your results.

So what are you telling me, to think negative?

No, that’s not what I am telling you. The best way to play golf is to be positive and to “visualize” all your shots going in the hole.

But, remember it’s what you do with what happens to you, NOT what happens to you.

So before your next round, tell yourself your “realistic” limits at the first tee and think through your course strategy for the day.

Let’s say at the practice range, you keep hitting your irons 50 yards to the left with a big bad hook.

Now, you can fight this big bad hook throughout your round OR you can simply use that as your advantage and start planning your course strategy to fit that.

So do I am 50 yards right on all my iron shots?

Hell yes, that’s what I am telling you to do. Make best of what you have that day, you don’t need to be perfect.

I’ve had those rounds when I’ve shot under par when all my iron shots were going 50 yards left. Now, if I had tried to correct my swing to hit it straight, I’d probably shot over 80 that day AND screwed up my mindset for future golf rounds.

Now if this tip help you break 80 next time you go out there, don’t forget to subscribe to this blog and expect more fun psychology and course strategy lessons straight from my gut.

Round 2 of The Players Championship!

1 Comment Published May 9th, 2008 in Golf News.

Round 2 of The Players Championship!

Kenny Perry is at the top of the leaderboard with -6 total score while Bernard Langer, Paul Goydos, and Sergio Garcia tied for second at -5.

Anthony Kim, the young Korean American, is at -2, at sole 5th place.

With Tiger Woods not in the game this week, it’s hard to tell who will win as everyone’s a winner.

My bet goes to the youngsters Sergio Garcia or Anthony Kim.

According to Mark O’Meara, golfer with one of the nicest swings in PGA Tour, says Anthony Kim has much better swing than Tiger.

Now, if he’s game is as good as his swing this week, he should be able to win, that is if he can beat Sergio.

My Last Swing Thoughts…

0 Comments Published April 23rd, 2008 in Swing Tips.

I haven’t been golfing that much lately other than hitting some balls. (actually just once this year)

My last outing went pretty well though so here are my key thoughts:

1. Swing in rhythm

2. Really feel like standing up.

3. Swing like butter, like Freddy Couples.

4. During practice, hit each ball with thought and quality. Don’t just bang 100 balls and tell yourself you’ve practiced. Even though I don’t practice much or even play ever, I can pretty much take money from everyone because I practice “quality” practicing. This is definitely psychological effect that “quality” practice can give you, by letting you only see your best efforts. If you simply bang balls and not give it your 200% on every practice shot, exact same thing will happen during a round of golf and you’ve just wasted an hour of hitting balls.

Phew, that’s about it. Now, I really gotta take some videos again…
