John Masters Golf Secret – The Simple Golf Swing Review
Article by Andrei Felix
How many times have you walked out of the golf course after being embarrassed playing golf with some of your associates? Or about being the laughing stock of your golf buddies for having the lowest score every time you play golf with them? Then you have to worry no more. With the help of John Master
You Don’t Have to Be Bubba Watson or John Daly to Hit the Golf Ball 300 Yards
The average distance of the top 100 Golfers in the world is 280 Yards….these guys are the best players in the world and they aren’t hitting it that much further than the average golfer (AND the fairways on the PGA Tour are probably the same speed as most golf courses’ greens).
SO, what does this mean for you? Well, I’ve broken down the steps you can take that will instantly improve your driving distance. There’s nothing stopping you to averaging what the pros do!
1. Get a Driver with a Higher Loft
– My buddy used to have a 7.0 degree Driver (I’m not sure why exactly – maybe he thought it was cool) and used to average 270 yards off the tee. He switched to a 9.5 degree Driver and now averages 290+.
– A higher loft gives you more carrying distance and the same amount of roll; however, it needs to be fitted properly to your swing in order to reap the benefits.
2. A Driver that is Custom-Fitted

– Take the time to get your Driver fitted properly by going to a Golf Shop and working with a professional. If you can’t afford a new Driver or just bought one, still go and get the shaft optimized for your swing.
– By doing just this, you can gain an extra 20-yards overnight.
3. Having the Proper Setup
– Wide stance (just past shoulder width apart)
– Shoulders at an angle (back shoulder is lower than the front) allowing you to hit the ball on your upswing (higher trajectory = more distance)!
– Ball positioned off the front toe.
– Flare out your front toe (at a 45 degree angle – no further) forcing you to clear your hips and lower body more quickly. You’ll notice the difference.
4. Confidence
– Most of the time when golfers hit bad shots it’s because they are thinking too much about the mechanics of their swing vs. the execution or “emotion” of the shot about to be played.
– Focus on your confidence – meaning that in your mind, you know that you’re going to step up and hit it long and straight down the middle. You will consistently hit better shots doing this vs. thinking about how far to take the club back or to make sure you follow through correctly.
BONUS: Learn to Hit a Draw
– It’s a fact – a draw or hook travels further than a fade or slice. If you can learn to hit a draw you WILL add at least 10 yards to your drives.
– Close your stance, bring the club back inside, and fully release your hands.
– One thing to be cautious of is that a draw is more difficult to control than a fade, which means that the odd time your draw will turn into a hook (this happens even to the pros). My recommendation is to not hit a draw all the time, but to utilize it when you need a bit of extra distance.

Is John Daly Good or Bad for Golf?
Article by Corrie Nel
Big Bad John is finding his way through the ups and downs of life. Sometimes he ends up in the media for the wrong reasons.
Ever since John Daly hit the major circuits he has been in the news for various reasons. Sometimes for the wrong reasons, based on his personal life.
Big John is in the unfortunate position that he is a high profile sporting giant. This means that his private life is privy to all and sundry. With all respect to the media, printed and otherwise, the bad, or should I say sad, side of his life gets a lot of attention. It is utter sensationalism, but that is what sells in the media business.
It seems like John is in the press more for negative reasons, than his skill on the golf courses of the world, which he has more than his fair share of.
He entertains crowds by hitting a golf ball crazy distances, even with his putter. Unlike Tiger, the ultimate technician and strategist, John throws caution to the wind by ripping his driver enormous distances, where angels fear to tread. Then he proceeds by displaying unbelievable touch on and around the greens.
John is often seen during coverage to bend over, pick up his cigarette and to walk off into the sunset after his golf ball. Not the image to expose youngsters to. But then, John has never claimed to be the ultimate role model.
The big man is known as the regular party animal, not adverse to consuming large quantities of brewed beverages in relatively short spaces of time. Smoking, drinking and a good measure of domestic uprisings is just a natural part of him.
When you are exposed to the masses the way sporting celebrities are, this type of behavior just does not make for our perception of sporting greats.
Then Big Bad John hits the fairways of the world, and guess what? We are still in awe of the man who, I believe, can win anything whenever he wants to.
I watched him during the recent USPGA Championship. No, I watched the crowds. They still love him. They still watch in amazement as he goes about his business the only way he knows. Nobody cares about the press and whatever goes wrong in his life. They just want to see John Daly do what John Daly does best and only John Daly can do!
Good or bad for golf? That is debatable. The fact remains he still pulls the crowds and wows them with his brand of golf.Long live John Daly – we need our own characters in golf and you are one of them!
Love him or hate him, international golf will be a little duller without him.
