We have been blogging recently about playing golf in cold weather. Please enjoy the following video as a humorous way to show you how not to dress.

Remember to keep ‘em in the fairway.
For those of you who live in the southern part of the US, you have the pleasure of playing golf all year around. Fools like us who live in the North at some point have to call it quits for the year. But when is it time to call it quits?
The regular foursome I play with likes to play as long as possible. In Chicago some courses are open all year long. However at some point playing becomes more about human endurance and not about golf.
But who in the foursome will be the first one to say it is too cold to play. That person will hear about chickening out for the rest of the year. Sensible, absolutely not! Do men ever stop being little boys? Probably not.
I remember one December Saturday afternoon when we were playing and we had the entire course to ourselves. That was because it was windy and freezing and started to snow after the first few holes. We finished all 18 holes and went into the clubhouse and made one of the few mature decisions we have ever made. We mutually agreed the season was over. That was the only time someone in the foursome was not the chicken for the year.
I guess the moral of the story is either grow up or move south.
Take care and keep’em in the fairway.
As the golf season winds down in the north, we are going to start to talk more and more about off season conditioning. This is good starting point to see what is required.
As you enjoy those nachos and beer sitting on the coach, watch the video below to get an idea what it takes to get in the necessary physical condition to be a PGA pro.
We offer many golf exercise programs at our eBay Store TheEscapePlace www.TheEscapePlace.com. Check them out!
I recently had lunch with a former colleague, long time friend and frequent golf partner. The lunch was fun and as usual we ended up talking about golf. He has had a severe slice as long as I have known him. He always says it is because he does not follow through but the slice never goes away.
One of my favorite quotes is by Tony Robbins; “if you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always gotten.” To get rid of your slice you must be willing to make changes. It is not a secret that we sell golf instructional items on eBay, Amazon, etc. Probably every swing related instructional item we offer has a chapter on slicing. Every one of them offers a different drill or explanation on how to cure the slice. Each one can be helpful but only if you are willing to change.
Ultimately there only two factors that affect the flight of the ball: swing path and the angle of the clubface when it strikes the ball. Sounds simple but we all know it is not. The video below by Derek Hooper of the Hank Haney Golf Schools is one of my favorites because it discusses these two factors and has a drill that I find especially helpful. Will it help with you slice? Possibly but you will never know unless you make a change in your current swing.
Till next time keep ‘em in the fairway!
