I encourage you all to try being more creative with your shots at times.  Not all the time just when the mood strikes you or your required to be a bit brave.  This will allow you to have more fun and focus less on score.  Practicing with creative shots is more fun and leads to more creativity.  The Masters requires a magical shot to win it.  Its seems that Jack, Larry Mize, Tiger, Phil, Bubba, etc. have the creativity and the strength to try.  Not care about the result and go for it.  Give up control to gain control.  Try it and let me know how it works out.  Have fun!

I never thought I would say this but I think I can relate to Tiger on a certian level.

Last season at the begining of the year, once I decided to get my game back in order, I decided to seek help from a local guy here who has played in 4 Masters, was the number two am. in the country in 68 and has a PGA Tour win to his credit.

I wanted to write my own thoughts on the golf is easy blog below. It is funny because I have been thinking on these very same things lately.

Let me start off by giving some backround. I am 48 now. In my late teens and early 20's I was a 2 handicap player. I had no clue about swing plane. hip rotation or any of the other things that are discussed now. Which in my opinion is way too many.

I would like to discuss fitting of golf clubs today.  I believe that it is so important to have the correct fit for your clubs, for you as a golfer to perform you best.

There was a time, 20 years ago, that we as golfers had to adjust our swings to fit the clubs we bought or played.  Not anymore.

Today I would like to discuss putting.  The most important part of the game.  Working back from the hole, it gives you the most confidence in your game.  If you putt well, you chip well, and if you chip well, your irons are hit well, and if you hit your irons well, well you drive the ball well.  So for most and myself, it starts at the hole and moves back toward the tee.

Golf lessons are wrong. First off, you go and pay a professional to tell you what you do wrong and not to do it. How about taking a lesson and having fun and experiencing immediate improvement. If you take a ski lesson, you see immediate improvement and you get better and can go to more places on the mountain. You think positive and do the necessary movements to improve. Why not golf?

For years we focus on negative and only take lessons when we have a problem or get worse. How about taking a lesson when your playing good or your best to do it more often and learn how to do it more often. Golf is now going to change forever at my hand. I refuse to instruct people on things not to do. If you can do what you need to improve, why not do it over and over? Thats right. Do the movements you need to do to be successful. Who in there right mind would pay for someone to make them worse before you get better and learn all your faults. No thanks.

"If a five-year-old child can learn to swing, there is no reason on earth why you cannot.  All you need to do is to repeat the action of that child.  She was not distracted in her swing. Her mind was not cluttered by the countless don'ts which fill the air whenever people talk golf.  She merely took the club as it should be taken, in her two hands, and did with it what comes naturally.  She swung."  ... Ernest Jones author of the classic golf instruction book "Swing The Clubhead"

Thousands of swing instruction books have been written about the golf swing.  I believe the simplest and the most effective of these instruction books is still Ernest Jones "Swing The Clubhead".    STC is all about the "swing" and swinging by "feel" and not mechanical instructions.
