GET COMFORTABLE WITH YOUR PRE-SHOT ROUTINE, AND USE IT FOR BOTH PRACTICE AND PLAY...
By Ed Grant, Author of Subconscious Golf
You should get comfortable with your pre-shot routine on the practice tee, then take it to the golf course. Make it a well-grooved habit. Go out late at night or early in the morning when you're not rushed and just really focus on making your pre-shot routine a habit under playing conditions. Adapting a pre-shot routine will actually allow you to play faster. You'll get rid of indecision, you'll feel more confident, and in turn you'll play quicker. Make a pre-shot routine part of both your practice and play, and it will really help add consistency to your game.

Swing Easy When it's Breezy...
With Roger Gunn, So.Cal PGA Teacher of the Year
If you hang out with some of the great players over the years, sooner or later you'll hear "Swing easy when it's breezy". Is that right? Or is it just some old cliché that doesn't apply any more?
Most clichés are based in truth, and "Swing easy when it's breezy" is no exception.
When you're playing in the wind, a ball with too much backspin can be a real killer. Too much backspin makes the ball balloon up into the air where it's really likely to be blown offline. Using more club than usual and swinging much easier will keep that spin rate down, which will give you much more control.
Does that mean you never want to swing hard on a windy day? Not exactly. When you have a shot that's straight downwind, that's when you can take the shorter club and swing away.
"Swing easy when it's breezy," now that's some advice that really stands the test of time!

Keep your head steady to make more short putts
Keep your head steady to make more short putts
With Bruce Fleisher, PGA Professional
Many of my pro-am partners miss key short putts during their rounds because their eyes are moving during the stroke. As a result their heads are not steady. What I try to do from four feet and closer is to focus on the ball and then listen for it to go in the hole. Try this tip, and you'll be amazed at how many putts you'll make it. If you learn to use the ears during your putting stroke, you'll become a better short putter.

Some quick tips on reading the grain...
Some quick tips on reading the grain...
With Roger Gunn , So.Cal PGA Teacher of the Year
Reading the grain of the grass can be done in a very simple way around the hole, and that is to see how the hole is cut. That's right, if you look when you cut a hole, it basically cuts down through the root structure of the grass, so the grass that's growing in this direction is actually going to have its roots cut and it's going to die. Basically what happens pretty quickly is that you'll see a little dead spot on one side of the hole. Whatever side of the hole that dead spot is, that's the way the grass is growing. You can actually look around the hole and get a really good indication as to what the ball's going to do.
Another tip is to go ahead and look towards the sun, if you can, and try of look at what's happening in terms of if the green is shiny or if it's not shiny. If it's shiny, that means those blades of grass are lying away from you, and that's the direction that the grain is going. If it's not shiny at all, if it has a dull look, then that means that the grass is growing towards you, you're seeing basically the tops of those blades of grass, there's nothing to shine off of, and so that's the grain coming into you. That's also an excellent way to take a look at the grain, to see which way it's going and you can factor it in to see how it might influence your putt.

Take More Loft Off The Tee
Take More Loft Off The Tee
with Jack Lumpkin
Take a club with sufficient loft that you can hit down the fairway. Too many people think they have to drive with the driver. The driver may or may not be the best club for you. For players with a slow swing speed, the driver may not get the ball up in the air enough, and you may find a 3 wood will actually give you better distance.
A good rule of thumb. If you're shooting in the mid-80's and down, you should probably use the driver. If your driving poorly, use a little more loft. If your shooting in the mid-80's and up to 100, you may find that you can actually get more distance with a 3 wood. If you're a beginning golfer, you might even want to try a 5 wood.
Take a little more loft, and improve your driving!

Medicus Golf Clubs - How and Where to Find All Your Golfing Needs
Medicus Golf Clubs - How and Where to Find All Your Golfing Needs
By Steve Sander
Looking for newer golf clubs? Don't know where to look? Want to find special golf clubs and training aids to help improve your technique and lower your score?
Let me introduce you to the world of Medicus Golf...These clubs have completely turned my game around, no more slicing or hooking the ball and continuously finishing last I can now give my friends a run for their money on the golf course and its all thanks to the Medicus Golf Training Aid Range. Instead of my scores growing, its my bank balance that is looking healthier as the money I am saving on golf tuition and the small prices I have paid for my Medicus Golf Clubs. These Medicus Training Clubs have been the best investment I have made.
This will not be the first article that you will read about the quality of the Medicus Training Aid Range and I am sure it will not be the last..... But here is my take on the one of the more popular and revolutionary Training Aids used to improve golfers everywhere of all abilities!!!
THE MEDICUS DRIVER, THE BEST SELLING TRAINING AID EVER......
Use the Medicus Driver a golf club which has been chosen by golf pros as the Number 1 swing trainer club in the world. The NEW 460cc Over sized head is one of Medicus' biggest and best driver swing trainers. This golf club makes it easier to use on the range and hit live balls. Join the half a million amateur golfers and thousands of pros and loose your slice and learn to start hitting straighter shots which in turn will lead to you shooting lower scores around the golf course. Once you start swinging without breaking the Medicus Driver you know you are swinging in tempo and on plane. All that is left now is to see your golf game improve!!
Sound too good to be true..... It works... It has for me!!
The patented Medicus Dual Hinge on the Medicus Driver gives you instant feedback when you are swinging incorrectly so you can identify the flaws in your swing and work on where you are going wrong.
Medicus Golf knows that everyone has heard claims such as " the best on the market, guaranteed to lower your score, improve your game etc.etc..." so they went on to prove that their products actually can improve your golf game as they knew they could and would so instead of just having a slogan saying it they went on to demonstrate it scientifically. They approached TaylorMade and their TaylorMade Performance Lab and they agreed to perform testing on the Medicus Dual Hinge Driver.
What TaylorMade Golf did was to randomly select 20 golfers and their baseline swings were measured in the Lab. They then re-measured the same golfers after 15-20 minutes practice with the Medicus Dual-Hinge Driver.
The results were astounding...What emerged was that three quarters of the group gained additional swing speed and a full third realising a dramatic increase. One golfer in the group increased her swing from approx 53 to 63 mph.
This is just one of the many golf clubs in their vast training aid range and the first purchase I made from the Medicus Range but not my last...
I have bought much of my golf attire from places like eBay and amazon so I have recently stumbled upon a website while searching the internet, that can point people in the right direction if they are interested. The quality of the products I have received are fantastic!! You get quality products from internationally known places...and cheaper!!
There is also a demonstration video that you can view along with other information on how to improve your golf game. You can view this site at http://www.buymedicusgolfclubs.com

Stack and Tilt with Medicus Driver Mike Bennett and Bob Koch
nichesocializerx
Wow, I have a friend who has GOT to try this stack and tilt .... I think it would solve all his problems, and cut down on golf club helicopters (and my ducking) ...!
Just tell them to keep their weight more center. If they're still having problems, then tell them to keep their weight more on their left foot. That's pretty much the meat and potatoes of it...
I'm a classic slicer, and stack and tilt has helped me to get me swing under control. I still slice, but nowhere's near as much. This is usually because what happens during my backswing and not because of my weight placement.

I tryed the stack & tilt with the whippie driver and found the shaft followed my upper body with out effort. Jimbo
