New Tiger, Old Tiger, What’s the difference?

New Tiger, Old Tiger, What’s the difference?

Article by Discountwholesalegolf







He still curses. He still tosses clubs. His interviews, still, are clipped and smug — the few he gives, that is. This new version of Tiger Woods was supposed to be warmer, fuzzier, someone who showed more respect for the game and all those fans who’ve made him a very rich man. A year later, it appears as if the only thing about Woods that’s really changed is his ability to win ping anser. No one expected Woods to become Phil Mickelson when he returned to the game following the swiftest, sharpest downfall of a star athlete in recent memory. Taming his temper and ego was going to be as big a project as his swing change, and he’s having about as much luck. Sure, he’ll occasionally wave as he walks off the tee, make eye contact with fans here and there. He has stopped during pro-am rounds to pose for pictures. He’s even embraced Twitter, showing a charming personality in 140 characters or less. Those things are relatively easy to do, however. When it comes to basic course etiquette and being more accessible, he can’t seem to be bothered. He was fined for spitting on the green during the final round of the Dubai Desert Classic earlier this year. He cursed enough during the Masters that CBS’ coverage probably should have come with a “parental discretion is advised” disclaimer. His interview with Bill Macatee after shooting a 67 on Sunday was needlessly testy, making his uncomfortable chat with Peter Kostis a year earlier look like a fireside chat. Even when he does talk, he sidesteps the most mundane questions about how his life has changed, and treats reasonable inquiries about the state of his game with disdain ping anser forged irons. “When he was at his height, he was great golfer and had a very likable persona,” said Michael Gordon, a principal at Group Gordon Strategic Communications, a corporate and crisis firm in New York. “Both are missing right now.” Woods is hardly the first flawed golfing hero. Arnold Palmer was criticized for smoking. Ben Hogan was considered aloof. John Daly makes soap operas seem dull. And even Woods’ boorish antics were overlooked while he piled up wins in record numbers and closed in on Jack Nicklaus’ record of 18 majors. If his Sunday run at the Masters was any indication, all will be forgiven if he starts winning again. But with nary a title in almost 17 months, patience with his tantrums and pouting is wearing thin. Before the sex scandal, Woods had a Q Score — the measure of likeability among consumers — of 28, second only to Michael Jordan among athletes. Now his Q Score is 14, putting him in the same company as serial problem children Terrell Owens and Randy Moss. “He was never the most personable athlete out there by any means. He always had that attitude, but it fell by the wayside because he was a champion. That’s not the case now,” said Henry Schafer, executive vice president of The Q Scores Company. “This is where he’s at, and that’s what people are going to focus on until he starts winning.” His spitting incident in Dubai caused so much outrage that Royal & Ancient chief executive Peter Dawson suggested this week that the PGA and European tours make their disciplinary actions public. “I would not want to give the impression in any way that the standards of behavior in golf are poor,” Dawson told the Press Association on Tuesday at Royal St. George’s. “I think they are very high, and golf is still held up as a model for many other sports. These particular incidents that we see do get a great deal of publicity and rightly so.” Woods has carefully crafted his image, and he’s not about to give up that control now. But big-time sports are equal parts entertainment and athletics, and there’s a price to pay for being the first billion athlete. If Woods wants folks to shell out .99 for the Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12 video game or pay 0 for the privilege of wearing his TW Air Zoom golf shoes, he’s got to give something back. Otherwise, don’t be surprised if fans start drifting to some of the game’s other personalities — like the little girl standing behind the 18th green at Augusta National wearing a Rickie Fowler hat and Puma shoes ping anser ironsMore details at http://www.ourdiscountgolf.com.

Tiger Woods News and the Media World

Tiger Woods News and the Media World

Sometimes I wonder, is this just Tiger Woods’ World and we just so happen to live in it too?  I am sure any citizen living in the United States that has watched at least 3 minutes of news on any major media outlet over the past several months can recall that Tiger Woods cheated on his now estranged wife Elin Nordegren, right?

 

Well, if not, here it is. Back in late November of 2009, Tiger Woods was injured in a one-car accident outside of his home, near the Orlando, Florida area during the very early hours of the morning.  Early reports suggested that Woods crashed into a tree, just yards from his driveway and that wife Elin had smashed a window open with a golf club to get to him.

 

The mainstream and regional media outlets went crazy with running this story all day long, as it soon became worldwide news that the greatest golfer in the world, Tiger Woods, had been in a car accident.  My initial thoughts were, “Oh, my God! I hope Tiger is okay,” but then as the story unfolded, it seemed odd that Elin would smash his window open with a golf club to get to him. I then began to think, there is more to this story, they probably got into a very serious argument and she just lost it, chased him out of the house with a golf club, and then as Woods began to drive away, Elin smashed in his car window with the golf club, most likely assisting in causing the accident involving Tiger.

 

Then over the next few days, more news broke out as he had been cheating on his wife Elin with multiple mistresses over the years, as one-by-one began to come forward.  Shortly after everything came out into the public, Tiger gave a public apology to his wife, family, fellow golfers, and fans, as he withdrew himself from the PGA Tour and competitive golf in order to concentrate on his family and seek therapy for his “sex addiction.”

 

So, now that Tiger Woods was out of the professional golf scene, self-admitted into a sex therapy center, and was seemingly on track to rekindle all with wife Elin, his family, fellow golfers, and fans, the media was relentless in covering everything about Tiger Woods and literally ripping his life apart.  More porn stars, party girls, cocktail waitresses were coming out very vocally in the media and demanding all sorts of things from Tiger Woods, and as ridiculous as they were, the media continued to allocate hours and hours to these “opportunist” women.

 

I believe that society does look up to sports icons like Tiger Woods, who has inspired millions with his athleticism, charitable giving, and more. Yet, he made a mistake, actually several of them over the course of a few years. Tiger let fame, wealth, and opportunity corrupt him, as he fell prey to the many vices that surround him daily.  However terrible it all was, there as been much worse acts committed by multiple celebrities, politicians, and athletes over the years, yet none of them have received anything close to the amount of attention played against Tiger Woods.

 

I am not suggesting that Tiger Woods should get a free pass on his wrong-doings, yet what he did is over now, and it’s been nearly eight months since the story broke out, yet Tiger Woods cheating on his wife is still a main subject in the popular media today. Really guys? For instance, when Tiger Woods was recently in Ireland for a pro-am golf outing, he was hounded by the press about his “cheating” and “mistakes” he made.  Tiger is there to play “golf,” not answer to personal life matters with someone like, Dr. Phil.  Obviously he is going to be paying for his “mistakes” financially and emotionally for the rest of his life, i.e. 0 million in a divorce settlement with Elin about to be finalized.

 

Maybe one of Tiger’s bigger mistakes was getting married so young? It happens to millions of people worldwide, they marry early on, realize they maybe should of waited longer, and/or do stupid things like cheat on the one you supposedly love and wish to be with the rest of your life.  But to be dragged through the mud for months is just getting very old to have to see and hear daily!

 

Not many people do take into account the many millions Tiger Woods’ charity has given out over the years and all the good he does for society and children worldwide.  Most people believe in second chances.  I think it is worth at least sitting on the sidelines and seeing how Tiger Woods will bounce back… if at all. But, he should be given a fair shot to do so in the mean time by the media, fellow golfers, fans, and even family.

 

So, when Tiger is at a golf tournament, questions should be about his “golf game,” and NOT about cheating on his wife, etc.  When in public and away from a golf course, Tiger Woods is fair game for scrutiny and questions about his personal life, even though it’s none of our business.

 

All I am saying is that the media should be covering Tiger Woods golf news, since that is all he is doing now. His personal life, we pretty much know all there is to know already, so, thank you mainstream media for the 24/7 coverage to date that Tiger cheated on his wife, he may have a love child with porn star, or another alleged mistress (opportunist) claims relationship with him, and so much more.

 

There should be some balance in reporting on Tiger Woods golf, charitable, and personal life news… I am saying is that people at large are getting very sick of hearing the same old news everyday. Hopefully, the media will catch a clue and move on like the rest of us…

Learn to Hit a Low, Penetrating Stinger Shot Like Tiger Does

Learn to Hit a Low, Penetrating Stinger Shot Like Tiger Does

The best time to play the Stinger shot is when you are faced with a very narrow tee shot and there is a lot of trouble bordering the fairway. The last thing you want is for your ball to miss the fairway and land up in one of the multiple hazards.

So what should you do? The first thing is too not hit your driver as it is definitely not worth the risk. This type of shot requires a three wood or even a two iron for you to execute it successfully. Once you have selected the appropriate club follow these steps.

Step 1: Tee the ball very low to the ground.

Step 2: Ensure that you grip the club firmly with your left hand. This is extremely important as your left hand is the most responsible for controlling the movement of the clubhead.

Step 3: Bring your right hand on to the grip, but make sure you grip the club lightly with this hand as it will allow you to increase your hand-arm speed and will also add significant power to your shot. Which you will definitely need to compensate for the distance you will be losing for not using the driver.

Step 4: Position your hands ahead of the ball so that the clubface is still pointing at the target, but is slightly closed.

Step 5: Start your backswing, keeping it as flat as possible until you get to the parallel position. At this point your right hand should be hinged slightly.

Step 6: Start your downswing, but keep your right hand hinged and then unhinge your wrist at impact. You should also ensure that the back of your left hand is turned downward to keep the clubface closed at impact.

This should help you to significantly reduce the loft of the club and will help you hit a long, low flying shot that will split the fairway and consequently have a lot of roll. Make sure you practice this shot on the driving range first as it is a bit unorthodox and will take some getting used to. I hope this helps.

How to swing the club like Tiger does?

How to swing the club like Tiger does?

Pick up from the people who have been into it and improve as you go.

It will take a little time and effort but with experimenting and self-improvement, there is no reason you can’t swing that club and smile.

Memorial Lessons From Tiger

Memorial Lessons From Tiger

Article by Charlie G Wallace







What a stunning performance from Tiger Woods at the Memorial event in Ohio on Sunday. Four strokes off the lead at the start of the final day, Tiger blazed his way to the top of the leaderboard and then held off challenges from both Jim Furyk and Jonathon Byrd to win his fourth Memorial title.

I watched the closing holes from about the 14th and saw Tiger taking out the opposition with a birdie on the 18th hole after a brilliant approach shot. He is definitely a man for the big occasion and big events and he instinctively knows when, and how to apply pressure on his opponents.

I know there are some who don’t like Tiger, but I am a big fan. We are lucky enough to be witnessing one of the best golfers ever in Tiger and one just has to admire the way he plays the game.

What can we learn from Tiger’s performance that could be useful to our games as golf beginners or seasoned players?

There are three things that stand out for me about Tiger on Sunday;

1. His desire to win2. His ability to get the job done, and3. His phenomenal success rate off the tee in the final round.

Just focussing on the third of these, Tiger hit the fairways on every occasion he was required to. 100% fairways in regulation and the TV commentators (which included Nick Faldo) rated his final round as one of his best ever.

If you’re anything like me, consistency off the tee is more of an aspiration than a reality. I do sometimes get it right and sometimes my drives are OK, but I’ve a tendency to hook and slice and I usually have some of each in the course of my rounds.

I always have a smile when I see the pros spraying their drives left or right. It reassures me that even the best can do it, and of course, Tiger is no stranger to these errors. In recent times he has been guilty of them quite often.

Some pundits reckon that he attempts to hit the driver a lot harder in tour events than he does in practice. He doesn’t take his practice drives to the course when he plays in competitions. By all accounts, he did on Sunday. He wasn’t thrashing the drives and consequently he ended up on the fairway every time he needed to.

This tells us two things;

1. That it is important to identify and recognise important elements of our games that need correcting;driving, approach shots, pitching, chipping or putting and doing something about them, and

2. That controlled drives off the tee landing on the fairway will (should) produce a better round of golf and lower scores. [The corollary of this, of course, is that the controlled shots practiced on the range are the ones we should use on the course. There is no point in learning and practicing to do something and then doing something else when you take your game public.]

After my game at the weekend I know that my putting let me down, and if I had landed on the fairway more frequently, I could have shaved 5 to 7 shots off my score. Something to look forward to next time, hey? There’s always something that keeps us coming back.

Top 3 Of The Best Driver-Nike Sasquatch

Top 3 Of The Best Driver-Nike Sasquatch

There is no doubt the answer is Tiger Woods. When we talk about golf clubs of Nike, Tiger Woods inextricably linked to these golf clubs. It was so cool when you see it at first sight that Tiger Woods swing with the club. So if you want a driver with so prefect performance, Nike SasQuatch sumo2 5000 Driver is the one. And it works, too.

 

 

It looks seem different, with a grey/yellow paint combination and the fact that it’s almost as long from front to back as it is from heel to toe – but if it didn’t also work extremely well, the Sasquatch would have quickly disappeared. Golfers remain, by and large, small “c” conservative so in order for something looking like this to sell in numbers, which it does, The lastest driver Nike SasQuatch Sumo2 5900 Driver  from Nikehas to prove itself.

 

 

In essence, the different shape allows the centre of gravity to be pushed back, which gives a higher launch angle, and therefore greater distance. The clubhead is also less likely to twist, allowing the golfer to find the middle of the clubface more often. 

 

 

A number of golfers persist in the belief that a low, boring flight trajectory will gain them extra distance but this is not true, especially in winter when there is less roll once the ball returns to earth. Because of this, many will opt for the 10.5° loft option but if you get the chance to try before you buy, have a go with the ‘lucky’ 13° model – you may be pleasantly surprised at the extra distance you gain.

 

 

Finally, though, you get golf clubs that work extremely well but have the added, almost impossible to quantify element of “cool”. You may not be able to measure it, but you know it when it’s there and with this Nike, it’s there in spades.

 

Swing Like Tiger

Swing Like Tiger

Are you trying to swing like Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods and other famous golf players? Every golf players wants to make a handsome swing by imitating the Super star. While many good players have very different looking golf swings, (Callaway Big Bertha Diablo Fairway Wood) but they all have two things in common during their impact position:

Good players retain wrist-cock through the impact zone, as well as maintain a strong solid base during the hitting area. These two areas of the golf swing set the good player apart from the high-handicapper.

Proper wrist-cock maintains lag, increases power: To create lag, the left wrist needs to be bowed upon impact allowing the hands to be slightly ahead of the ball upon impact. This causes a late hit, or “lag,” which all good players use to create the power in their golf swings.

High-handicapper golfers tend to do the opposite by releasing the hands early instead of having the hands ahead of the ball upon impact. (Callaway FT Fairway Woods) They collapse the left wrist causing the club head to move past the hands before impact. This scooping action creates a tremendous loss of power resulting in loss of distance with the driver and miss-hits with the irons.

To create a late hit, your hands need to arrive at impact before the club head. The best way to achieve this position is to practice hitting balls with a heavy club.

The heavy “practice club” forces your hands to lead the club head through the hitting area. It also is a great way to build up your strength and swing speed, creating additional power. Try it. It works!

Strong solid base upon impact: To create power during a golf swing, golfers need to have a solid base as they strike the ball. In all sports, a solid base creates power.

When a boxer throws a punch, it starts with the power in the lower body. As they start to punch, they step off their back foot and throw their weight into the direction of the punch. The legs are slightly bent, but there is tension within them, (Callaway Hyper X Left Fairway Woods) which helps keep the lower body in a powerful position.

The same tension in the lower body should be maintained during the impact position in the golf swing. Currently we hear this concerning Tiger Woods upon his return from reconstructive knee surgery. Before his recent surgery he could not maintain a sold base as he moved to his left side during impact. Golf analysts now describe his lower body action as much improved because of his solid leg action.

See Yourself Putting Better and Enjoying Golf More with Golf Psychology

See Yourself Putting Better and Enjoying Golf More with Golf Psychology

There were some amazing golf and putting psychology lessons on show with Phil Mickelson’s stunning win at the Tour Championship at East Lake this weekend. Yes I know Tiger won the FedEx Cup and the million with an amazingly consistent series of results. But given Phil’s year, both on and especially off the course, his victory on Sunday was a simply joyous and breathtaking turnaround. Phil had looked out of sorts in recent weeks and after his quadruple bogey 8 on the 14th hole in the first round, I had sadly anticipated him failing again over the weekend.

You’ve probably heard about Phil’s putting woes and his comments about how “I’ve hit the ball so well and yet my scores haven’t reflected that.” You’ve probably also heard about how “Bones” Mackay, Phil’s longstanding caddie, urged him to get help the week before the Tour Championship from Dave Stockton, one of the best putters in golf and twice a major winner. As if those weren’t sufficient reasons, Stockton also putts a bit like Phil does when he’s at his best.

So what major flaws did Dave Stockton notice in Phil’s putting stroke and what major changes did he prescribe? You’d expect them to be fairly severe given Phil’s recent comments about the inconsistent putting that has plagued him off and on over the last two years. He’s also talked about how his poor putting has detracted from the progress Butch Harman’s been making with his swing over the same period.

Well, Phil described the change in an interview as a “minor tweak” and went on to say “No, it’s very minor. It’s very minor. But [my] hands are back ahead like I used to putt, and the ball is just rolling much better.” In another interview, he talked about Dave Stockton’s comments just “reaffirming the way I’ve putted since I was a kid.”

So what golf psychology lessons can we learn from that then, Andrew, I hear you say? Well first of all, it confirms that if you’ve hit a particular shot well in the past, then you already unconsciously know how to hit it that well again – without changing your technique. All you need to do is to vividly recall one of those earlier successful shots and allow your unconscious golf mind to get on with the job as you get back into your comfort zone. I’d certainly include this type of visualisation in your pre-shot routine.

All that probably happened to Phil was he missed a few putts, lost his confidence and started to fear putting rather than enjoying the challenge. When that happens with any part of our golf game, we stop enjoying ourselves as much as we did and we start consciously analysing things. It doesn’t take too long before we start thinking there’s something drastically wrong with our swing or putting stroke and we start changing things, even though we seemed to have a perfectly effective method before.

This doesn’t just happen over a long period of time. For many of us it can happen in the middle of a round. Have you ever had the experience of playing a series of shots quite well and then hitting a bad shot, maybe a big slice? Did you badly pull or hook the next shot? If you did, you probably consciously thought you needed to make a swing correction, despite already knowing how to hit the ball quite well unconsciously. Well, you did say that you’d hit a series shots quite well, didn’t you.

Another golf psychology lesson was written on Phil Mickelson’s face all day on Sunday, not just when he won. He was clearly enjoying himself immensely, even before he started scoring well. After the round, he commented that, “Today was a lot of fun” and that’s not the way he’s been talking in recent weeks. Isn’t it odd how golfers seem to play so much better when they’re enjoying themselves, even if some, like a certain future Ryder Cup captain, have a hard time convincing us of that fact.

These Golf Exercises Will Have You Hitting It Like Tiger.not That The Golf Ball Silly

These Golf Exercises Will Have You Hitting It Like Tiger.not That The Golf Ball Silly

The old days of the unfit golfer have gone for ever .Even if you are just a social golfer doing simple routines that will improve your game make sense.

The golf strengthening and conditioning exercises I am going to give you on this page will improve your game and have you feeling fitter and stronger.

The game of golf is now played in a much more athletic way then is was in the past. Players like Tiger Woods and Greg Norman have brought athleticism and fitness to the game. The routines in the gym that modern players like Tiger and Greg use have proven to be just as important as the time they spend practising on course.

Along with some gym exercises I am also going to give you some great stretching exercises that you can do at home or the office.

 I will start with the all time best stretching exercises for Golfers.

 

 Stretch 1: The Oblique Twist

 

STEP 1: Sit down and slowly lower your back on to the ground until you are as fat as a pancake. Put your hands out directly from your shoulders to form a t shape, then lower them a little so your hands are pointing about 1 foot wide of your feet.

STEP 2: Raise your legs up whilst keeping your torso completely still, and then lower both legs to one side of your body. The key thing is to keep your upper body quite straight and rigid, as this will strengthen your obliques.

STEP 3: Simply lift your legs back up to the centre position and then lower down again to the other side.

By holding, your legs in the centre position for 30 or 40 seconds each time you will further strengthen your core.

Think about this exercise and then think about the motion your body goes through when you are hitting a shot. The twist with each golf shot put pressure on the obliques so strengthening them up has to make sense.

 

Stretch 2: The Oblique push down

 

STEP 1: Lie flat on your back and then bend your knees in towards your buttocks. Lock your fingers and place them behind your neck. like you are about to do a sit up.

STEP 2: Twist your left shoulder towards your left knee until the middle part of your back begins to lift off the floor. Twist until you feel a strain on your abdominals and hold for about 20 seconds.

STEP 3: Return back to your starting position and repeat on the other side.

 

Dumbbell Exercises

 

 Exercise one: Wrist Grip Power

 

STEP 1: Grab a dumbbell with each hand that is light and grip tightly, then hold each weight down against your sides. Lift both weights upward until your elbows are at 90 degrees and hold for 5 seconds.

STEP 2: Whilst tensing your arms and forearms simply twist your wrists at the same time in and then out.

As simple as this exercise sounds it will strengthen you wrists quickly and give you more control when chipping and driving.

 Exercise Two: Stance Power

This exercise will strengthen your quads and your hamstrings, which both play a role when you drive a golf ball.

STEP 1: Stand with your feet shoulder length apart, and hold the same light pair of dumbbells. Lower the dumbbells down against your sides about 10 centimetres wide from your thighs.

STEP 2: Bend down at your knees and stabilize, then spring up into the air. Land down in the knees bent position when you come down and repeat for 20 repetitions.

Over the next few days, I will detail a number of additional golfing stretches and weight routines. The main muscle groups that we will cover in the routines are the hamstrings,glutes,quadriceps,trapezius,triceps,abdominals and the rectus.

Using the exercises described above with the additional ones that I would publish shortly about three times a week will improve your power and endurance quickly.
