No one, and I mean NO ONE should have to play bad golf. Here’s why YOU shouldn’t settle for poor golf either:

Bad habits will only get worse if you don’t fix them. You are wasting money on every round of golf you play because it turns out to be an expensive practice round! Golf does not have to be so complex and difficult. If you knew how easy it was to break 80 you would have far less gray hair, anxiety and uncertainty..

What You Can Learn from Tiger’s Swing

What You Can Learn from Tiger’s Swing

In watching the PGA Championship this year, I marveled at how Tiger came from nowhere and finished in 3rd place at 2 under par (2 shots off of the lead).  If Phil Mickelson hadn’t hung on, this performance of Tiger’s could have tied or even won the championship.  It’s Tiger’s unbelievable perseverance that’s lead me to write this tip.

Tiger’s Perseverance

Have you also noticed that just when you think Tiger is totally out of it, he’s back in it?  Do you ever wonder why this is?  It’s because Tiger never gives up.  He knows that anything could happen in this game.  He knows the pressure that is associated with this game and the pressure that is put on the other players who are in the lead.  Tiger can withstand this pressure, whereas, other pros cannot.  He knows that in major tournaments, the field will usually come back to him.  So if he can grind away and just get a couple of shots back on the field he’s right back in the hunt.  If Tiger was someone who gave up when he was playing poorly, he wouldn’t consistently be in the top ten in the majority of tournaments he plays in.

The Difference Between You and Tiger

The major difference between how Tiger can grind his way back from a poor round, and you can’t, is that Tiger has the ability to re-focus and re-group.  After his poor play, he has given himself a reality check and has realized that he has to re-focus and re-group if he wants to get back in the game.  If you watch him when he’s in “grinding mode”, you will see that he totally slows everything down.  He thinks about what shot he is going to hit longer.   He stands over it longer making sure he is 100% committed before pulling the trigger.  He visualizes the shot and focuses on the target longer.   All of these things combined gets him back in the game.

When finding yourself in a sticky situation like this, you tend to do the opposite.  You dwell on the past.  You get mad at yourself.  You start over analyzing your swing.   You swing harder and harder.   All of these things tend to speed you up and hamper your ability to get back in the game.   This loss of focus sometimes ends up making you play even worse or play so poorly that you end up quitting which is something Tiger would never do.

How to Switch to “Grind Mode” Like Tiger

As you continue to play this great game of golf, you will always have your ups and downs.  You will never be great all of the time.  With this in mind, you really have to have a game plan the next time you lose your game.  In order to flip the switch and get into the “grinding mode” like Tiger, just follow these steps:

1.  Never quit – tell yourself that you are not a quitter in life so you shouldn’t quit while playing golf.

2.  Give yourself permission to make mistakes – realize that you will never be perfect while playing this game.

3.  Forget the past – think only about the shot at hand.

4.  Forget swing mechanics – think about swinging at an easy pace that you can handle.

5.  Focus even harder on the target you are trying to hit to – isolate the exact spot you want to hit to.

6.  Choose the right club for the situation – if in doubt, always take more club not less.

7.  Be 100% committed to the shot before you pull the trigger – you have to eliminate any doubt in any shot including putting.

8.  Take your time – slowing down calms you down and allows you to think more clearly about the shot at hand.

Now that you have a few ideas of how to “grind it out” or “re-group” try to take them with you the next time you go to play.  Who knows that bad stretch of holes may be closer than you think.

Love with Long Distance Between

Love with Long Distance Between

This is not a game for two.  It can be so very hard at times to see those cute couples walking down the street, holding hands, dancing together, going to an event you just have to go to, goodness forbid a wedding because they always try to hook you up with someone.  Your friends and yes, even your family, are going to question you constantly and look at you like you have two heads, because you’re waiting on your love to come home and are so very far apart. It seems that when they can’t see you together, they want to pressure you into dating someone.  There can be NO other consideration of other people.  That will cause resentment and question each other’s devotion. 

Two in love can make it but it takes thought, imagination, and perseverance. It even takes sometimes turning away when you see that couple and your heart breaks in two for your longing. It’s the only thing you can do in your day.  But hang in there.  It will end and you and your love will be together again.

Both of you have to stay positive, remember your love and above all else…..COMMUNICATE!!  Distance may be between you but you can’t let it distance your hearts and let each other go.  Phone calls can get very expensive very quickly.  These days there are so many ways to stay connected: email, video mail, texting, sms, black berry, instant messaging, just to name a few.

Even if your love is away working so very hard, either one of you can send simple one line text messages through the day just to simply say, “Hi, I’m thinking of you” or how about “I miss you”.  It’s not expensive nor does it take a lot of time. You don’t even have to do it 100 time’s day or even every day.  It’s not hard but it does show how much you care.  Something so simple can show so much.  Sometimes, it’s just enough to have that to hold onto and know your love misses you and thinks of you too.  It may keep your loved one going for another week even.  Your text may even be the bright spot in his otherwise busy work day. 

Why don’t you, once in a while, text or instant message her that you’re going to give her a special call that night at a particular time?  It’ll lift her/his heart and give you both a bright spot to look forward to in your day.  Just make sure you make that call and don’t leave her hanging.

Sending him or her pictures of yourself, your home, kids, etc and letting them in on the daily grind is a great way to stay connected and keep them part of your day. Don’t complain and gripe about things all the time.  Keep it light.  He can do the same in return if he gets a chance. Just remember to always make sure that you combine this with some good old fashioned wooing.  That’s right wooing. 

Find one of his favorite quotes, maybe some Shakespeare, Longfellow, Tennyson, lyrics to a song you’ve just heard on the radio that made you think of her.  Be romantic.  Now is NOT the time to keep your heart hidden.  In a long distance relationship you are even more vulnerable to your love because you have to wear your heart on your sleeve in your communications.  You can’t just go on the, “she knows I love her”.  That’s hard even in a daily relationship. This helps to keep him knowing that your love is still strong and that she is in your heart.  It doesn’t have to be a grand gesture, although the occasional one does help.

I won’t lie to you, there will be times that you will cry yourself to sleep because you miss him so much.  You’ll wonder about them, what they are doing, how they are, who they’re with, are they having fun.  Don’t let doubts and nasty thoughts cloud your love.  Let them know you think these things but that they are only fleeting because of your own insecurities.  When it gets to be way too much and it seems like your crashing, that’s when it’s even more important to communicate with each other and visit.  Yes he may be away, far away, but there are always ways to get back home and to each other. Why not take a trip yourself and go visit him.  Think with your heart and let it lead you to do those “foolish things”, those “romantic things” which will last you both a lifetime.

I know that every time my phone rings or a message comes in on the computer or cell, I get butterflies in my stomach just hoping it’s him.  I get all twitter patted at the thought the weekend is coming and maybe, just maybe, he’ll come home to surprise me.  Keep that anticipation alive and communicate your love and longing to one another.  You’ll make it through.  Your distance and separation from one another is temporary and may feel like a lifetime, but don’t forget that it does have an end date.  Love isn’t supposed to have an expiry date.  Let her know yours is unending and true.
