As a result the golf swing is an unnatural execution that causes the body to twist, turn and lunge forward unnaturally during the swing. No one have been able to control or perfect the timing of this in unnatural swing execution and motion. All golfers are athletes in their own natural way, they gave this up once they started playing golf with short clubs. As long as there are short clubs in your bag you will comtinue to bend over and play with uncertainty and frustration. Every golfer out there only practices and plays with these faults. The difference in length from a pitching wedge to a three iron is approx 10 inches. When you play different length clubs, your body costantly changes angles and height to accomodate length of club. Club lengths control swing height and angles, creating resistence and constant vertical and horizontal montion when you swing. Lengthen your clubs, remain at your natural height and you will over come frustration and reach your goals. This is not magic, its logic and the future in golf.

Lengthen your clubs, stand up, relax knees and walk feet away from grip/hands. Remain at your natural height, your shoulders rotate around your center axis, not on an upward rocking swing path. A natural swing stance transfers your weight naturally, restores power, lowers your swing plane naturally arms/club set up on the inside path, inline to the target. This is what past and present golf teachers have failed to recognize, correct and teach. Hawkeye golf alignment system(hegasys.net) corrects and teaches this natural concept. Your are a natural athlete, not a swing machine. http://www.worldgolf.com/blogs/gary.wiren/2007/11/26/between_baby_boomers_and_junior_programs#c65952 Fri, 11 Sep 2009 19:39:59 +0000 briangarg [Visitor] c65758@http://www.travelgolf.com/blogs/ Golf is one the most expensive and most technical games of the world.

As far as I know, my Over The Top Golf swing is the only method available that teaches you how to swing over the top correctly instead of trying to fix the renowned swing flaw. It has been said that 80% of all golfers swing from over the top and most instructors concede that they always will. As no golf instructor is willing to admit that they really can't help these (mostly) 15-35 handicappers, what, from a practical standpoint, can you do for them? Frankie C Over The Top Golf

Amatuers can do similar things with their local courses if they prepared the way the pros do. I.E. Practice, Fitness, Playing Strategic Golf. http://www.worldgolf.com/blogs/gary.wiren/2007/03/20/if_they_re_lengthening_courses_like_st_a#c55097 Wed, 23 May 2007 21:30:51 +0000 Doc [Visitor] c51240@http://www.travelgolf.com/blogs/ As a 3 handicapper and 58 year old avid golfer, I can tell you that I don't play 450 yard holes with a driver and a wedge. Some young players can hit it 350 yards, but the average player is still hitting less than 260 off the tee. The tour players should have a shorter PGA ball and the rest of us will still find today's courses plenty challenging. http://www.worldgolf.com/blogs/gary.wiren/2007/03/20/if_they_re_lengthening_courses_like_st_a#c51240 Mon, 9 Apr 2007 16:58:34 +0000 Jim C [Visitor] c49437@http://www.travelgolf.com/blogs/ A shorter PGA ball would be a good idea--but you have got to remember ball endorsements are important for PGA players. To make it work, the players will need to be compsensated for lost endorsement money at any tournament that uses the shorter ball. This could be particularly important for the marginal players who struggle to make the cut and earn any official money. http://www.worldgolf.com/blogs/gary.wiren/2007/03/20/if_they_re_lengthening_courses_like_st_a#c49437 Sat, 24 Mar 2007 14:28:44 +0000 Stacy [Visitor] c48772@http://www.travelgolf.com/blogs/ Amen Alex!

Chipping and putting is what saves you, not an extra 30 yards off the tee. http://www.worldgolf.com/blogs/gary.wiren/2007/03/20/if_they_re_lengthening_courses_like_st_a#c48696 Wed, 21 Mar 2007 13:35:01 +0000 Shanks [Member] c48685@http://www.travelgolf.com/blogs/ I love the tenor of the post but pinching the fairways where the long hitters drive it is not the answer. They tried that at Carnoustie (site of the infamous Van de Velde collapse) and it produced what many consider the worst major championship set-up in history. Even the R&A has admitted that. For years Jack Nicklaus has been asking for a reduced flight ball for Touring pros. That seems the best way to go. Statistics seem to prove that despite all of the technological advances, we non-scratch amateurs still shoot similar scores. http://www.worldgolf.com/blogs/gary.wiren/2007/03/20/if_they_re_lengthening_courses_like_st_a#c48685
