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 Invitational

I want to thank Thandi for the invitation of playing in the Tammy Taylor Golf day. Tama and Thandi used to come for their golf lessons at my Golf academy at CMR Golf Course, how nice to see them again. Nato and I used to play together in Pro-ams in Maurituis.  Nato is a very naughty PGA Pro posing with our mascot Obichini. Albano is a top deaf Golf player which I have been working with for years.  He has always been the teady bear of the team. NATO, TAMA, ANDREW, ALBANO Enjoyed such a great day with old friends The billboard for invitational at Lanceria Airport Please subscribe for updates

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...

There is no need for Panic in a Fairway Trap

 You have driven into a fairway sand trap and are not only some distance from the green, but also have a poor lie. What can be done? Well firstly stay calm, for you have not necessarily lost a stroke. Assume that you are a seven-iron distance from the green, but the difficult lie indicates that it would be impossible to reach it with that club. Provided the lip of the trap will not interfere, use a five-iron and hit what amounts to a long explosion shot. Play the ball in its normal position between the feet, making sure you have a good firm stance in the sand so that you will not slip during the Swing. Open the face of the club and take it back slightly to the outside, using a full backswing. Aim toward the left of the target, because you will be hitting a fading shot, and hit just as close behind the ball as the sand will permit. Hit hard with the right hand, but do not let the wrists turn over at or just after impact. A five-iron explosion hit in this fashion is going to carry ap...
