I have recently read a about the golf player Tiger Woods. He is a very interesting character and a very good and successful golf player. I discovered much to my amazement that Tiger always wears the same coloured clothes on the last day of a golfing tournament – red and black. Red and black are chosen for their bold colours and it represents what his attitude is going to be on this day. He is basically saying to all of the players that he is going to just go for it, no fear, no worries, he is just going to attack. In his opinion, if he has this attitude and plays well, he will have every chance of winning the tournament. Now he obviously can not win every tournament, but he does seem to win his fair share.

Do not get me wrong I do not work within this area; I am personally involved with DVD authoring and I also sell external doors as well as working with a stuttering specialist.

I remember feeling very nervous about attending an interview. I have never been very good in these types of situation and would have become very anxious about it in the past~I have never been very good in these types of situation and would have become very anxious about it in the past}. I would question why I was even attending the interview as I was bound to fail. This is of course an example of my negative attitude.

From reading all of these books, I decided that worrying was certainly not going to help me and that I needed to think positive. I decided to go and buy a new suit as the couple which I had were now old and tatty. I will never forget seeing myself in the mirror with this new suit on, I looked extremely smart and I felt very proud of myself. Just wearing this new suit gave me a huge boost of confidence. I went to the interview feeling more positive than ever and pretended I was Tiger, I was just going to go for it and see what happens.

The interview went well and the answers seemed to flow as my brain was quite relaxed. I actually quite enjoyed the meeting and am happy to let you know that I was offered the position two weeks later.

GENERATE POWER AT SETUP

We all want more power and distance.Whether you hit the ball 200 or 300 yards, adding an extra 10-15 yards to your driver gives any player confidence and a decisive advantage over the competition.  Over the years as I have taught online golf lessons, many golfers have emailed me consistently with a breakdown of distance per club.They also provide where they would like to get to; usually 10-15 yards increase off the tee and from the fairway w/ their irons. The following tip is suggested to players who want an easy way to generate extra distance off the tee.I do not recommend this set-up from the fairway or around the green, but it will give you and extra 10-15 yards off the tee. The is a simple breakdown including different ways that power and distance is generated in our golf swing (I want you to understand what generates power):

• Solid Ball Contact:  Not on heel or toe.
• Hand rotation through the impact zone.
• Weight shift through the ball.
• Follow Through position: This is more of a check point.Club face up at follow- through = less power.  Club face down at follow-through = more power.

Problem Lack of distance off the tee. Solution I am going to teach you a modified set-up that will allow for maximum power generation.Often players that have a slight draw generate greater distance than golfers that hit a fade, so this set-up will put you in a position to hit a draw.This is also true for golfers on the pro tour.  The following, are steps to modify your set-up in order to allow for maximum distance generation:

• Go through your normal set-up routine as we teach in the DVD.And remember to bend at the hips and not the stomach.
• Close your stance: Move your trailing foot back so that your toes are parallel to the middle of your leading foot.
• Put a bit more weight on your front foot: Instead of 50/50 you’ll have 60% on your leading leg and 40% of your weight on your trailing leg.  Essentially you’ll almost be leaning a little forward at set-up.
• Knee bend remains the same & take your normal swing, focusing on really shifting your weight & rotating your hands through the impact zone.

These modifications place your body in a more powerful position at set-up. And don’t forget, only implement this set-up off the tee.You can try it with your irons out on the practice range, and if you see amazing results then play with it on the course, but please don’t change your entire set-up for your irons.  This tip is simply a modification to add extra distance off the tee.
