Grooved Golf Swing Series - How To Deal With Dog-Legs And Other Golfing Tips

Always hit your shots with and not against the dog leg.

On my course there is a dog leg to the right which has to be navigated. To hit a straight ball is to be assured of giving your ball a watery grave.

Yes, there is a pond well within hitting distance for even the not so long hitter, and if the ball does not fade around the corner or dog leg, this is where the ball finishes.

Do you have a hole like this?

Ok, you believe you can cut the corner by hitting your ball over the trees or what ever trouble makes the dog leg.

If your dog leg is from left to right, and you have to fade the ball round the corner, to go over the top, draw your ball.

Vice versa for a right to left dog leg. You can see that by doing this, you will avoid drawing or fading your ball into the trouble that constitutes the bend in the fairway.

When you tee off, have a look at the tee. Is it level, or are there some areas where the ground is not absolutely flat?

Make sure you tee your ball up on a totally flat area of the tee. Pay attention to the small details during a round of golf, and your score will improve as a consequence.

What about in a strong wind? What do you do if you are hitting your tee shot into this? Do you tee your ball lower so that it will fly lower and so under the wind?

Well, the most important thing is to hit your ball with the full club face of your driver. So make sure you tee your ball high enough to do this. A solid hit is much more important than a lower ball trajectory.

A low teed ball will have less run.

Also, if you are not a very experienced golfer, you will be aware that your ball is lower, and you may try to hit down onto it. More drastic is your concern about hitting the ball well and opening your club face at impact to try to do this and get it airborne, resulting in a bad slice.

So, even in a strong wind, dont be in too much of a hurry to change things on the tee to make allowances for this. It is much better to play as usual and take what comes.

It really will be very good and you will not be inconvenienced by the wind nearly as much as you thought you would be.

Then there is the iron from the tee on a par three.

You will see people hitting off the turf. Sometimes they give it a bang to raise a small lump of ground to act like a tee.

Why do this when you can use a tee. The problem with hitting from the ground is that if you get a blade of grass between your club and the ball you may get a flyer.

The ball will go much too far and not stop on landing, but run and run. this is a bit like hitting out of light rough where the same might happen.

No, you are allowed to tee up and this is an advantage. So take this option.

For your short irons, tee up about inch above the ground and for a 6, 5, 4 iron tee up about inch.

You will be assured of a good clean hit with your ball so placed.

Weight Loss Satisfies Enormous Need

Maslow identified seven basic human motivations that guide peoples' conduct: physical needs, safety needs, social needs, self-esteem needs, cognitive needs, aesthetic needs, and self-actualization needs.

weight loss makes you physically better, more able, more flexible, more energetic, visibly more attractive, and more appealing to the eye.

weight loss gives you safety in the form of stronger muscles and joints to protect your body from unnecessary injuries, aches, pains, and disease onslaught.

weight loss improves your social life because people are drawn to physically masterful individuals, since it is unusual to meet one in your own circle of friends. Plus, human beings are naturally curious as to how you obtained your results. They want to talk with you, spend time with you, and get some answers from you - believing that maybe you can help them accomplish their personal weight loss goals, as well.

weight loss increases self-esteem because it is empowering to your mind to know that your body can initiate desires changes at will. Having the ability to repeat positive body weight feats is both rewarding in physical and emotional terms.

weight loss satisfies cognitive need (the necessity to have more knowledge)... because you are born with the natural need to learn new, exciting, and workable techniques that allow you to grow and prosper in positive ways. Losing weight allows you to learn, explore, discover, and create... not only a better understanding of how your own body works, but also how the world around you complements the changes you make.

weight loss satisfies aesthetic needs - aesthetic beauty comprises the basis of human motivation. Thus "viewing" the innate or pure beauty of arts, sports well performed, and the making of a lean, attractive, or well-chiseled body can give you outstanding pleasure and satisfaction. The visual appeal of a great body cannot easily be denied or ignored. It is something that almost everyone wants.

weight loss satisfies self-actualization needs. You have undoubtedly heard the saying, "Be All That You Can Be."

Losing weight allows you to make the most of the inherent traits, characteristics, and physical attributes you already possess, or will acquire in the near future. Via the attainment of your near-perfect body, you are also letting your true nature be revealed without hesitation or shyness.

These are effectively all very powerful entities that can only accentuate your being.

And, you can get the full spectrum simply by losing body fat and using your body weight properly.

Diet Focus - What Should I Eat to Lose Weight?

Arthritis, body fat, lethargy, and body odor disappeared after I adhered strictly to the Organic Bodybuilding diet in the months before my competitions. I felt incredibly healthy, energetic and could not sleep for more than six hours at night. I awoke each day feeling strong, rested and refreshed. A small cyst I had on my chest disappeared. My skin became incredibly clear, smooth and healthy.

The biggest change I made to my diet was to banish commercial beef to get ripped. after the competitions I ate a lot of commercial non organic beef and other processed foods and my arthritis and body odor returned. More than ever I am a believer that organic, wild, pastured, free-range, grass-fed, natural animals are the way to go.

Overeating after competitions is hard to avoid. I put on 12 lbs. in 2 days after my last competition. This is fine for me since my goal this summer is to try to gain back the mass and strength I lost from my contest dieting.

While away on a retreat last weekend I decided to indulge in breads, cakes, cookies, and cheese which I do not usually eat. I did not bring enough tuna cans, apples, etc. to last the weekend. The meals at the retreat were good and at least the breads and desserts were homemade. I wanted to keep up my calories so I thought one weekend of flour and sugar would not hurt me.

I felt terrible and lethargic after eating a lot of these desserts and baked goods. By Sunday morning I did not want to get out of bed and my skin started breaking out. I cut out the garbage and ate apples, tuna and drank a gallon of water. I immediately felt better. I discovered that sacrificing my health for gaining mass is no longer acceptable to me.

Whether you are gaining mass or leaning down- do it the healthy way. White sugar, white flour, processed foods and fast food are garbage. For building lean mass Lift Heavy weights and eat meat and potatoes! If you use healthy, pure whole foods to build your body the gains will be permanent.

What should I eat to lose weight?

people often ask me what they should eat to lose weight. I tell them First; get processed foods and fast foods out of your life, you will probably lose 10 lbs. or more just by doing this. Second; you must train yourself to eat 5-7 times a day to speed up your metabolism. You probably will lose 10 lbs. or more just from doing this. Third; you must train yourself to drink 1 quart of pure water per 50 lbs. of body weight daily.

Once you have mastered these 3 behaviors then you are ready to start looking at what is making you fat if you still want to. You may be all set.
