Its Great to See A Pro Golfer Reach for the Stars…

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

Hi Everyone:

Graeme Mc Dowell’s win at this weekend’s US Open was nothing short of a stellar feat for the N. Ireland native.  He definitely made it happen despite all odds.

He played some really good golf in what turned out to be more of a bit of an all European final with the  tough  fast greens that turned lightning fast.  A  Frenchmen named Gregory Havret, also played fantastic golf,  to almost force a playoff as well.

Grame defeated golf’s big three who all had chances to win by far, but they could not mount  steady charges and do their thing, including that of Tiger Woods, who looked like he was back once again.

Not since Tony Jacklin won in 1970 have we seen someone from the British Isles win the US Open here on American soil.

Hats off to Greame Mc Dowell and his great play at historic Pebble Beach on Dad’s Day with his father present at the 18 th green to acknowlege his great triumph.  It doesn’t get much better than that now does it!

What was Greame’s secret to success and his play?

It was his driving in the fairway, his putting and self confidence in himself in a game introduced to him by his Dad, who believed in his son’s ability to play the game and be a great  golfer.

Not the longest driver of the ball by far but steady and long enough to be in the fairway most of the time mixed with mastery of the greens with his putter, he prevailed.  These key statistics along with his good iron play made the difference enough to win by one shot at the famed Pebble Beach layout.

It sure was good theatre and a great day to be with your Dad and win golf’s greatest tournament, our U.S. Open.

What I liked especially about this Irishmen was his resolve and determination to hang in there and make things happen.  He made up his mind and hit the golf shot in a decisive manner. Excellent  short game as well around the greens.

Golfers can learn from his routine and get into hitting shots with determination. Take dead aim and fire!

All for now and onto the Bristish Open at St. Andrews in Scotland for golf’s next and third major of the season.

Best,  Bob Cisco, The Golf Doctor

Do You Have This Problem with Your Golf Shots..?

Thursday, June 10th, 2010
Hi Guys:
Do you have this problem with your golf shots?
 
Do you find in a round of golf or in practicing that you
hit some wild shots off line like pushes or hooks that get
you in trouble like in a bad lie in the rough, behind a
tree or in the water or hit off in the wrong direction?
 
Well I have a solution or two for this.
 
The key to being more consistent and hitting more solid
shots is first of all being in CONTROL of your swing motion
and not swinging out of balance and too hard.
 
When you swing easier and ‘within yourself” you can be
in more control and that makes a big difference with the
outcome of your shots. Having the ball in play is the key
to scoring.
 
There’s a principle at work here that when you swing smoother
around 80 % pace, you will find you are more able to make a
better hit of the ball. That’s what timing is all about.
 
So that’s the first key to this is to do that consistently with your
shots. Think being in control of your swing motion and better
timing of the shot.
 
The other thing to do is make sure you are not going out of
balance as you rotate the upper body over the lower especially
in the backswing move and in the downswing towards the ball
and target. When you swing too hard one can lose your balance
and  spine angle.
 
These two key basics are essential in hitting consistent solid
shots and if you can maintain an easier pace and and your
balance, you  will be able to hit shots and play better, plus
score better.
Let me know how this works for you and leave
a comment here if you would on the site.

Will Tiger Contend at The Memorial Golf Event This Week..?

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

Hi Guys:

Tiger’s back this week at Muirfield Village as Jack Nicklaus hosts his  Memorial golf tournament with a  star studded field of players.

This should be the start of his ramp up for the US Open in a couple of weeks in Calofrnia at famed Pebble Beach.

Tiger seems to be on the mend from his neck injury and hopefully will have a good tournament having won here several times and coming from behind last year to win with a closing 65 in the last round.

This is a super tournament and close to a major in the eyes of many of the players.

The course is modeled after many of the greatest holes in golf that Jack Nickluas has played in his great career.

Can Tiger regroup and get back on track and be a favorite to win at the US Open?

Can Phil Mickelson regroup after missing the cut this last week and surpass Tiger and take over the No.1 spot in the world rankings here in June?

Maybe some good old great golf would be just what Tiger needs.

Let’s tune in and see this week at Jack’s place in Columbus, Ohio.

All for now,
