The Magic of Golf



Anyone for a little magic? 

How would you like to become a magician like those people calling themselves golf pros?

  Would you also love to stand on the tee box choosing a magic wand, drawing it out of its scabbard like a rapier and be ready for battle facing the most difficult game ever created by man?

  The good news is that you can become a golf magician.  Follow these few rules to excellence.

1.  Andrew Corthing is a qualified PGA professional golf coach.  With years of golf coaching experience.

2.  Do NOT believe everything you read or hear.

3.  Golf is a game of basics, do not make it more difficult than it already is by practising the wrong swing.

4.  Once the foundation is in place you will start to learn and experience the fine art of becoming a true golfer.  Your driver will launch the golfball, it will soar away into the blue sky like it never wants to come down when it eventually does come down, it splits the fairway down the middle.

5.   Medium irons will be placed on the green where you intended, when you hit the correct middle iron swing.

6.  Short irons will take the divot, land softly on the green as if being placed by hand. Would you prefer a vicious backspin like a yo-yo on a string?

7.  Learn the art of reading the green like a tracker reads the signs of the bush and it will whisper it's secrets to you. The magic sound of the ball dropping into the cup will be your reward.

8.  Then you can sheath your magic rapier in its scabbard, knowing you are truly becoming an excellent golfer.

If this is a dream of yours, it is really possible with dedication and a love for the game.  My biggest pleasure in Golf coaching is the people who are true students of the game, and never stop learning this beautifully game.

GOLF HISTORY & SOME INTRESTING FACTS

HISTORY AND THE WORLD OF GOLF The game of golf attracts massive galleries of spectators, mesmerized by a pastime in which a player hits a tiny ball across great distances, sometimes over 500 yards, into a little hole. In the twelfth and thirteenth centuries people played a number of different club and ball games. By the fifteenth century golf was been played in many parts of Europe and had become so popular in Scotland that in 1457 King James II was forced to ban his archers from playing the game that was keeping them from performing their proper duties. Such prohibitions, however, failed to curb the growing popularity of the game, which teed off officially in 1860 when the thirst Open Championship was held at the tiny fishing village of Prestwick on the West Coast of Scotland. From then on the game didn't look back. J H Taylor, James Braid and Harry Vardon, playing on the turn of the century, put golf firmly on the British map. In 1916 the US PGA was formed, and Walter Hagen, Bobb...

Two Little Changes can make a Big Tee Shot

 If despite a smooth, strong swing you are not getting the distance you feel you deserve, it may well be because your hip-turn through the hitting zone is too restricted. Here is two adjustments at address to overcome this restriction. I think the changes have given me freedom to move my hips faster on the downswing, increasing my distance as much as 10%, and I recommend them. At address most golfers will turn the left foot about 30° to the left. When i tried this particular stance i always felt that my hip turn was being checked too soon and that as a consequence I was losing power. My left foot is now turned out 45°. In addition, I have moved my right foot forward just a little so that my stance is a slightly open one, rather than closed as is more conventional. Thus I set up like a boxer who is about to throw a long right hand punch and who must get his body completely out of the way if he expects to hit his opponent hard. On the downswing  i am able, like the boxer, to ach...
