"Improve your golf mental toughness 10-fold"

Every golfer has heard the saying "It's all in your head" or "Golf is 90% mental" or "Golf is the most mentally demanding sport in the world." Yet what do golfers do about it? Well, most often absolutley nothing! Not necessarily because they don't want to, but sometimes golfers actually think the mental game doesn't matter to them!

Click Here to Unlock Your Mind and Shoot Better Golf

EVERY golfer can benefit from increasing their mental toughness and harnessing the full power of thier mind!

Many golfers naively get stuck into thinking that the mental game only matters for elite players or pros who make a living golfing. Nonsense! EVERY golfer needs to use their mind properly.

• It is your mind that determines how well you learn when taking lessons. (and this training course is packed with accelerated learning techniques that will have you absorbing more from lessons)

• It is your mind that will allow you to set up to the ball correctly and commit to your swing (or not!).

• It is your mind that will either stay focused under pressure and get you to make a smooth, fluid stroke when you need to drain an 8 footer for the win, or have you choking like a dog and collapsing like a house of cards when the heat is on!

Where Will You Be in the 2013 Season Ending Point Standings Race?

There are only two ways to get to the year ending National Tournament - win one of the four majors or be one of the Top 10 point earners in your flight.

As you plot your tour schedule, be cognizant of the fact, only the top 10 are guaranteed access. Usually, most flight races are tight and depends on how well you play and of course how many tour dates you participate in during 2013.

Do you know how many tournaments you will need to play and what place you will need to finish in each tournament to ensure you have your automatic invitation?

Question from week #200

Jerry’s ball hit rocks inside a water hazard and bounced back into play. He thinks to himself that his ball may be damaged because of its contact with the rock. He marks and lifts the ball to inspect it. He finds no other damage other than brown scuff mark on the ball where it impacted the rock. Choose the correct statement:

A. If Jerry correctly concludes this ball is not unfit for play and replaces it, there is no penalty.

B. If Jerry replaces the ball he incurs a penalty of one stroke.

C. If Jerry cleaned his ball beyond what is necessary to inspect it for damage before replacing, he would be penalized a total of two strokes.

D. If Jerry incorrectly substitutes another ball by placing it on the original spot, he is immediately penalized a total of two strokes or in a match, would lose the hole, but there is no additional penalty under R5-3.

Answer:

B is the correct answer.

Jerry might think his ball is damaged, but he must inform somebody of that thought and what he intends to do in case they want to watch his inspection and perhaps view the ball as well.

[A] is incorrect because the procedure for inspecting a ball for damage (R5-3) is identical to the one for lifting a ball for identification (R12-2). The player must:

1. Announce to his opponent, fellow competitor or marker his intention to lift the ball.

2. Give that person the opportunity to observe the lifting/inspection/replacement.

3. Mark the ball before lifting.

4. The ball must not be cleaned beyond what is necessary to inspect.

5. Replace

Failure to comply with any of 1 thru 4 results in a 1 stroke penalty. Jerry didn’t comply with 1 or 2.

[C] is incorrect because any breach of the procedure is a 1-stroke penalty and other breaches are not accumulative.

[D] is incorrect because the penalty for an improper substitution only applies if the player makes a stroke at the ball. If Jerry realized his mistake before the stroke, he could correct his error under R20-6.

Something to consider:

When lifting a ball because the player is unsure of its identification, meaning it might be his, this procedure should be used even if the ball the player lifts turns out to be a stray ball. When there is doubt as to the identification of your ball—for any ball you lift—you should adhere to the requirements for proper lifting/inspecting/identification.

The reason I emphasize this is because if the ball is your ball in play and you neglected to follow the procedure, you will be penalized one stroke. While you would not be penalized for improper procedure if the ball is deemed a stray ball, why take that chance?

TTour Weather Guidelines

Primarily, we adhere to the same guidelines that the PGA Tour uses: If Primarily, the course is open, we're going to play.

The only exception to this is that I'll never put any of you in harm's way during an event because of dangerous weather. (i.e. - lightening or severe cold and wetness).

In other words, I won't let the course "bully" us into playing where an unsafe condition might exist.

Because I arrive at every event at least two hours prior to the start time and I generally have to leave my house at least an hour before that to get to the course, there is no sense calling me just before the event, because I won't be at the office. The best avenue to take is to call the course if the weather seems threatening.

If you are on the roster for the event, and you do not get a cancellation notice from the course after calling them, you are expected to show up in time for the scheduled shotgun start.
