Is Your Golf Game In Season or Off Season

Thursday December 20, 2007 | 10:23:47 am 1281 words, 3842 views  
The Answer is - not the middle of July. The Question – When should you be practicing to get better so you play your best Golf in July? For many Golfers, the next few months are the time you should be working on your golf game to improve. Unfortunately, many Golfers in the US, Canada and Europe don’t use this time effectively. If you’re waiting for your season to start – you’re waiting too long. Players have two seasons – Off Season and The Season. Monkeys unfortunately have just one season – The Season. Now this might not make much sense ...

Click Here To Listen To The Golf Tips Are For Monkeys Podcast So the Golfer said to me – “I want to get my swing on video so I can see what I’m doing wrong.

For some Golfers this road never ends – it just goes on and on and on until they either ...

Are You A Monkey or A Player?

Thursday November 29, 2007 | 09:35:37 am 1281 words, 9001 views  
Click Here to listen to the Golf Tips Are For Monkeys Podcast Why do we call a frustrated Golfer a Monkey? It has nothing to do with one’s ability. It has to do with how a Golfer goes about learning. I’ve seen Monkey’s that shoot in the low 80’s and I’ve seen Players that are just starting to break 100. The difference is that the Monkey will become frustrated because they’re in the same scoring range for an extended period of time – while the Player is excited because they’re seeing improvement every time they step on ...

Click Here To Listen - Golf Tips Are For Monkeys Why is it that it seems like some people that begin to play golf pick-it-up right away?

On the other hand – Why is it that some people begin to play golf, make some progress, but then get stuck and don’t improve from that point?
