Tips To Improve Your Golfing
By Jimmy
| Want help to improve your game on the green? This article will give you the tips you need to become the next Tiger Woods. A fine and experienced golfer is not necessarily a good teacher of the game. Why? Because many cracks do not know how they play themselves - when it comes to anything like a close analysis of their shots - and they have no idea at all of how a beginner must feel in order to make the shots that they make. Let me illustrate that last point, because it is fundamental to teaching and to learning. All crack players feel that they swing from in-to-out when driving. I have been doing this so long that it no longer feels a "guided" or unnatural swing to me. Indeed if I feel myself making any other sort of swing I know it will result in a bad shot. Yet with the beginner this in-to-out swing does feel unnatural and gives an impression that the ball will be pushed into the rough to the right. This feeling will of course be corrected by experience. This disparity in feeling about shots as between the crack and the beginner must never be lost sight of in teaching. Every teacher has to keep continually in mind the fact that the natural thing for any golfer to do if he thinks first of hitting the ball to the hole rather than of making the shot correctly - is to swing the club head down the desired line of flight. The urge to do this is so strong that a merely academic knowledge of where the club head ought to be felt to go cannot stand against it. William James said that where there is a conflict between the Will and the Imagination, the Imagination always wins. So no Will to make a correct swing - unless reinforced by our conscious control-can resist, when imagination of the ball flying straight for the hole supervenes.
What usually happens is that before the back swing is completed, the player transfers his attention from the matter of making the correct swing to the matter of where he wants to hit the ball, i.e., somewhere at the top of his swing he switches from a correct in-to-out swing to one along the desired line of flight. Consequently he comes down outside the ball.
It is quite useless to tell a pupil he has done wrong when acting instinctively unless you tell him why he did wrong and so enable him to avoid the fault in future. That I always do.
The player who comes down outside is almost invariably thinking of where he wants to put the ball, and the only effective way of overcoming his trouble is by getting him to concentrate on the swing that experience tells him will place it there. If this is done his conscious control - his feeling for the right movements, plus a steady intention to follow will inhibit his natural desire to take disastrous short cuts.
A swing must be built up which can be accepted by the mind as well as the muscles as a satisfactory means to the end desired, and then concentrating on the production of that swing. With a properly felt swing, the swing becomes the aim and the matter of where the ball will fly is left (as it should be) to take care of itself.
And finally, the good golfer feels his swing as all one piece. It is produced by a psycho-physical unison and its control is outside the mind of the player. Any control that is within the mind is subject to the state of the mind and is therefore unreliable.
A single sound line of controls is set up if the student has consistently practiced the same fundamental swing for every shot. Working on these lines and refusing to be side-tracked by extraneous ideas such as "hitting a long ball" or "driving straight down the middle," you can begin to feel a complete assurance that you can at least rely upon producing your best shots every time. They will become a habit with you.

Louis Oosthuizen's British Open victory is right out of a movie
The South African, nicknamed Shrek for the gap in his front teeth, plays four beautiful rounds to run away with his first major championship.
<br/><br/>
At 6:30 Sunday night, a little guy named Louie waved his white cap, smiled his gap-toothed smile and walked up the most famous fairway in the world and into golfing lore.

Any way you say it, Louis Oosthuizen is British Open champion
The South African with the hard-to-pronounce name rides an easy path to his first major title, cruising home with a one-under-par 71 at St. Andrews to finish at 16 under and win by seven strokes, the largest British Open margin of victory in 10 years.
<br/><br/>
OK, everyone together now. You too, Royal & Ancient Golf Club officials and BBC commentators who kept flubbing his name even after he spent all weekend on the world stage at St. Andrews.

Tiger Woods' playing improves with putter switch
The golfer went back to his Scotty Cameron model for Sunday's final British Open round and birdied two of his first three holes. He began the week with a new Nike model.
<br/><br/>
In retrospect, maybe it was the putter.

This Tiger Woods is far from great
Poor-putting Woods remains a non-factor at St. Andrews, which he dominated in 2000 and 2005. His major drought will continue and one analyst says, 'His head is full of spaghetti right now.'
<br/><br/>
A quick summary of Saturday's play in the third round of the British Open is as follows: Louie Oosthuizen maintained, Paul Casey charged and Tiger Woods remained invisible.

Louis Oosthuizen is making a name for himself at British Open
South African shoots a 69 and leads by four shots after three rounds at St. Andrews, with only England's Paul Casey putting any pressure on him.
<br/><br/>
Reporting from St. Andrews, Scotland -- Louis Oosthuizen had made it to the weekend of a major championship only once before in his career, never dealing with the anxiety of shouldering a lead overnight.
