Tara’s Tee Box – Tip of the Day

Have you ever topped a golf ball or possibly missed it all together? I would have to bet that 100% of the people who have played or attempted this game would answer – YES

But the real question is – Do you understand WHAT just happened? a very small percentage can answer this question with confidence and awareness… No, it’s not because you are a bad golfer…

Simply…. if the club face/leading edge of the club connects with the “southern hemisphere” of the ball (this does NOT mean – get under it), it will be able to travel up the club face to react to the angle (Loft) so it will fly up in the air…

Grounders, line drives and complete misses are a result of YOU (yes – you… ) lifting UP the CLUB, subconsciously thinking this will lift up the BALL… sorry, does not work that way…

IDEA… practice setting up (no ball needed) in your posture, and swing the club back and forth over the same spot on the ground (preferably with some nice long grass) feel the club head connect back and forth in the same spot… it will teach your body balance, extension without tension and train your swing for allowing the club to travel low along the ground (not chopping into it) …

For more understanding or questions, let me know Love to hear from you…

It has been way to long since my last post.  I have been very busy with the golf season, golf industry and preparing for my own fitness!  I believe it is time to start sharing my stories in this amazing game about the awesome people I have been meeting and assisting in their golf game improvement.  

It seems to me that there are many false idea’s out there, which (in a way) makes me chuckle as the lessons on the “GOLF COURSE” by loving and helpful friends, for some reason just do not seem to HELP.. even the kindest heart can be lead astray!

Golf is definitely not rocket science… although many people make it out to be… Really it is not as complicated as you think… 

When I have been teaching in the past few weeks to many NEWBe golfers, and showing them the MOST important part of the golf swing called the IMPACT area… 

Well, let’s just say when I am demonstrating how to hit the ball in the air when chipping… I alway follow it up with a few words like.. it really is a simple shot if you do the two key fundaments such as having your weight solidly in balance on the foot closest to the target and keeping the club low, your hands low and maintaining the triangle to a holding balanced position.

If you have a good understanding for the AIR TIME vs. ROLL TIME on your shot and choose the best club suited for your shot… well… it’s just a matter of time when you will begin to chip it in…

Ha… the funny thing is… when my beginner golfers hear me say this and watch my demos… they assume I am exaggerating and just obviously good, because of my 35 years of golfing..

I can now tell you just in the past few weeks.. two completely different beginner lessons with this same short game approach produced a CHIP IN… and not by me, but by the beginner golfers I was teaching..

This is why I own a “that was easy” button from STAPLES… just for fun!  Because really folks…. THAT WAS EASY!

I love to teach the short game for so many reasons, but my number on reason is that it is NOT ROCKET SCIENCE and anyone can be a great short game player with a little knowledge and a LOT OF TRAINING… 

My hope for you all is to thoroughly enjoy your time either at the range or the golf course and to develop the most important golf skills is the IMPACT AREA which just happens to be short game…

Low and Through, weight on the front foot and hold that finish!
