There are probably just about as many opinions about how to hit your golf ball further as there are golfers in the world but the reality is most of them either don't work or if they do they only add a little distance and generally create massive slices for most golfers When most golfers want to hit the ball further they do things that instinctively seem like they would work like; Tensing up and getting all 'manly and aggressive' ready to hit the ball so hard that if the cover stays on it - it's going to be hit into next week sometime Then as they have heard that the best way to hit the golf ball further is to get the club moving faster, their entire swing gets faster The last thing they do is another thing that you would think was instinctively right They take the club further back than normal on their backswing the idea being that the further it has to come back to the ball - the more time they will have to generate speed and therefore hit the golf ball further Seems logical right? It doesn't actually work like that How to drive the golf ball as far as you possibly can - without buying a new driver or doing any exercises Is a simple easy to follow step by step guide which will allow you to develop your driving by firstly providing you with an understanding of just what you need to do, then giving you a bunch of different experiences to apply to your game, all of which will allow you to develop your ability - to drive the golf ball as far as you possibly can And before you start thinking this is all about elite level golfers who can already hit the golf ball 'for miles' and just want to hit it further again That's not entirely correct either As in actual fact, the golfers who can benefit the most from driving the ball as far as they possibly can are the golfers who hit the ball a relatively short distance compared to other golfers, consider a golfer that currently hits the ball 80 yards off the tee and then has a fairway wood distance of 60 yards Let's imagine that over the period of a few weeks our intrepid golfer, takes the information inside this book, works on it a bit and manages to add 20 yards to their drive It's not as difficult as you may think Also bear in mind that the 20 yards they add to their drive should also directly add (you'll understand why that happens when you read the book) another 10 yards to their fairway shot What difference do you think that can make to their game? A couple of shots better a round, maybe three or four at best? You'd be wrong if you guessed that low and even if you went way out on a limb and said a stupid number like say 10 shots - you're still going to be too low How about 22 shots better per round? Impossible? No, it's actually quite easily achievable as you can read about in the book The mind-set of trying to drive the golf ball as far as you possibly can, not only helps the elite golfer score a few shots better a round - it can dramatically transform any golfer's game - even if they are what would be considered to be a short hitter to begin with So is this all about elite golfers, testosterone, manliness and ego? In actual fact those are the golfers that will get the least help from this book The golfers who are going to get the best outcome from following my advice are those who don't hit too far for a start and it makes no difference whether you are old or young, new or experienced, male or female Everyone can change their game and scores by driving as far as you possibly can by following the six main basic points that the book covers then blending them with some controls and fine adjustments that will allow you to keep the golf ball on the golf course while you are driving it much further, as well as few other handy ideas that will then allow you to really take your new found distance and turn into a major advantage to your game on the golf course Better golf performance as a result of driving the golf ball as far as you possibly can Now that's a good outcome

The 600-year-old sport of golf was once considered a metaphor for culture, sportsmanship, and accomplishment in America. So why has participation declined so much in recent years? The answer, according to author Pat Gallagher, is the sport's resistance to productive change. While other sports have embraced new technology and innovation with open arms, traditionalists strive to protect the game of golf and keep it exactly as they love it-even in the face of suffering courses and shrinking audiences. This first-hand account documents how Gallagher and his partners advocated new thinking to revive the game of golf, from both a sporting and business perspective. In January 2011, they founded the Alternative Golf Association and Project Flogton (not golf spelled backwards), in an attempt to challenge the leaders in golf to think differently and grow participation in the sport. In this informative true story, readers will get a front row look at the ideas behind Alternative Golf, what they accomplished, where they were wrong and what they now believe ought to happen in the future to reverse golf's steady decline. In addition, you'll find out the facts behind some of the biggest myths perpetuated by the golf industry, from participation numbers to the real consequences facing golf courses and investors.

Can I really add 30 yards to my golf game? Yes... but let me warn you, if you are lazy and are simply looking for a "magic bullet" solution, this is not the program for you. The simple fact of the matter is this: the 30 Yards or More in 30 Days or Less program is NOT a "quick fix." It's a SMART fix to a very complex problem that consequently yields incredibly fast results. Oh, and did I mention that you'll probably even burn loads of fat off while you add distance to ALL your clubs at the same time? That's unheard of. But the reality is I've had clients do it over and over again, and you will too. At the same time, I want to make sure I'm being very clear: make no mistake, this program takes work, and if you're one of these people who can't dedicate 30 days to radically changing your golf game and body - a change that you will be able to enjoy for the rest of your life - then please, do not invest in this system. But for those of you who are serious, those who are ready to put forth the effort, the 30 Yards or More in 30 Days or Less system will absolutely give you every tool you need to immediately DOUBLE your rate of distance gains and experience the yardage gains you deserve - GUARANTEED. Others did it too...and so can you. If you have read everything up to this point, you definitely are not lazy. I think you genuinely want to get better at your golf game.. and you aren't afraid of practice, working out, or analyzing your stats. You enjoy the process of "digging it out of the dirt." I've taught thousands of other golfers just like you how to dig it out of the dirt and transform their bodies and golf games. Just about every day I get emails, Facebook posts, and tweets of people just like you who transformed their golf games and bodies using my workouts. Here are just a few clients of the 30 Yards or More in 30 Days or Less system and what they had to say: "I bought the 30 Yards or More in 30 Days or Less program already 2 months into my golf season. I was a little scared about working out and playing golf, not knowing if my body could hold up. I saw results right away in my swing and health of my body. What Chris puts together with not only the lifting but also the joint mobility and flexibility training helped dramatically to my swing and joints. This added health allowed me to work out harder and these workouts are right to the point, which helps because I am always on the move. Overall I was able to gain about 20 yards to my about 240-yard original full driver swing. I can't wait to continue this program and use this as a part of my life from now on." - Mitchell S., Norway "I tried your 30 yards in 30 days program back in May. It definitely works... when I swing in control. Won three longest drives this year in tournaments " - Dave, 34, Ontario, Canada "Your workout is going well. I was in pretty good shape before starting the workout but I like that everything is tailored around golf motions. Another one of my weaknesses was getting myself to stretch. This workout requires you to stretch and I am a big fan of that as well." - John W. "Just wanted to thank you for creating and allowing me to try the 30 Yards or More in 30 Days or Less workout system. 2 weeks after starting we had a nice weekend and I hit the longest drive of my life so I can't wait to see what happens now that it has been over 30 days." - Chris S. "After just two weeks of doing the workouts, twice each beginners workout. I can see a marketable difference in my swing. I can't tell distance yet, as I haven't been out on the course. But I can tell the difference in my leg strength and flexibility already. It will be easily 30 yards " Thank you, - Chris Connell

In a long, award-winning career writing about golf, Bill Fields has sought out the most interesting stories--not just those featuring big winners and losers, but the ones that get at the very character of the game. Collected here, his pieces offer an intriguing portrait of golf over the past century. The legends are here in vivid profiles of such familiar figures as Sam Snead, Arnold Palmer, Mickey Wright, and Tiger Woods. But so are lesser-known golfers like John Schlee, Billy Joe Patton, and Bert Yancey, whose tales are no less compelling.The book is filled with colorful moments and perceptive observations about golf greats ranging from the first American-born U.S. Open champion, Johnny McDermott, to Seve Ballesteros, the Spaniard who led Europe's resurgence in the game in the late twentieth century. Fields gives us golf writing at its finest, capturing the game's larger dramas and finer details, its personalities and its enduring appeal.

Golf stories are funny, caddie stories are hilarious Caddy Tales is proof of this statement. Scott has done an outstanding job of putting a few of his actual caddying experiences on paper which allows the reader to feel like they are sitting in the same room reliving the stories. These tales capture the comedy that ensues when the golf gods shake the elite and private members to their core. 33 million people play golf in the United States every year, yet less than 1% of them will have ever taken a caddie. The 99 % that do take caddies are not your PGA Tour Pro's or Professional golfers. They are members and resort guests that shoot an average of 95. Caddy Tales is a unique one of a kind book which tells the hysterical stories that develop when people from all walks of life take a caddie.

Hammer is a way to wager on a golf match. The game has evolved through generations in several different directions. This manuscript will cover multiple ways to play Hammer but certainly not all. References will be made throughout this writing to "our game" which simply means the game I prefer and the reasons why. I have been asked many times if I could put together a list of the rules to "our game" as it has become very popular. I often get calls from players at other clubs asking for a rule interpretation. Hammer becomes a game within a game. At the time of this writing, I am a 12.5 Index golfer but I am a scratch at Hammer.

A memoir about the uncommon world of the club caddy and the improbable journey it resulted in for one man. A candid and laugh-out-loud funny narrative, it captures a side of the service industry rarely glimpsed by the outside.

Dr. Simpson is a medical specialist and mind coach working with clients on the European Tours. He knows from his experiences that successful putting depends much more on using effective mind skills than technique. Dr. Simpson explains his revolutionary methods that you can use immediately to hole more putts, and have a lot more fun too. Drive for show, and putt for dough. It is a cliche, but nevertheless it is true. The fastest way to bring your handicap down, or make more money on tour, is to shave a few putts from your round. Even just one would make a huge difference. It is the easiest thing to do, or the hardest, depending on how you think about it, and which part of your brain you are using. Children are often very good at putting because nobody has told them how difficult it is, or blinded them with technique. There is a lesson there for you too. Adopt the mantra that you will follow your process, and your results will take care of themselves. In other words if your processes are good more putts will drop, and your statistics will improve as a result. This is the process that you will use to improve your putting stats. There are only four magic mind secrets to this process. Adopt them and they will open your mind, and as a result you will hole many more putts. Here they are: - Be confident about the line - Be confident about the speed of the green - Be confident in yourself - Be confident to stroke the ball smoothly This sounds easy, and it certainly can be. The power word that applies to all these four secrets is confidence, and Dr. Simpson's role is to explain HOW you can increase your confidence in these four critical areas. In this audiobook he explains in an engaging style the way that your brain works, and unearths a few clues explaining why most people get in their own way, and make putting, and life, a lot more difficult than they should.

Most golfers have difficulty with the concept of hitting down at the ball to make it fly. Surprisingly, a great many players surveyed did not even know you need to hit down to get the ball up in the air. Hit Down Dammit concisely explains the concept - and the technique - of hitting down at the golf ball for proper trajectory, increased backspin, much improved distance, proper divot taking, and best of all: consistent shotmaking. If you are inadvertently - or intentionally - hitting up at the ball, Hit Down Dammit is for you. If you are a seasoned amateur who has inexplicably "plateaud" - just cannot seem to get to the next level despite lessons and/or acquiring a library of books and videos - Hit Down Dammit is for you. Symptoms of hitting up include (but are not limited to): - topping the ball - skulling the ball - pushing the ball - slicing the ball - poor distance - difficulty getting off back foot - poor backspin - no divot - fat divots - chunking the ball - thin/fat chip shots - roofing the ball with your driver - inability to hit long irons and/or fairway woods - good shots followed immediately by poor shots Hitting down at the golf ball is not a new concept, but it is a hitherto poorly explained (or completely avoided) concept. All pros agree on the need to hit down, so there is no debate there. Even Tiger Woods, in his 306 page "How I Play Golf," states the need to hit down at the ball - but does not explain how. Hit Down Dammit does. Learn to hit down, watch the ball go up, and your scores go down.

A note from the author.
All golfers, from PGA and LPGA tour professionals to beginners, have experienced frustration on the golf course and the driving range. I am no exception. I started playing golf when I was in college and steadily improved over the years. My handicap got down to the single digits, but then I plateaued. I knew I could play better. I started messing with my swing and my golf game went south. I got so frustrated, I quit.

After a long break, I started hitting golf balls again. Something was different this time around. What was different? What was I doing? NOTHING. No swing thoughts, no distractions, no second guessing, no effort. I got out of my own way. This was the beginning of my explorations into the power of the mental game. With my education and research in psychology and my passion and commitment to the game of golf, I started my golf academy that exclusively offers mental game instruction, education and techniques to help golfers play their best.
