British Open Golf — Players facing the Elements

Thursday, July 15th, 2010
The 18th green and clubhouse of the R&A.
Image via Wikipedia

Hi Guys: 

British Open one of my real favorites is up and running at St.Andrews with players facing the elements and unpredictable weather predicted most of the tournament.

Outcome will be decided with those players who can keep the ball down and in play especially off the tee. And who play smart on the key finishing  holes 17 and and 18. Two of the best finishing holes in championship golf I might add.

You got to like the Thurs-Fri pairing of Woods-Rose-Villegas going at it and a  big draw and crowd pleaser I would think with the fans there.

Putting will be the key for Tiger Woods.  Look for Villegas to make a run at it. Rose is the hottest player right now in the world of golf. Europe is hot right now with the majors.

Phil Mickelson needs to get off to a good start to contend for Sunday run.

I got a feeling there will be a playoff to this championship. Any predictions out there?

Best shooting,

Stricker Hot as a Pistol at John Deere. Guns for Summer Final Golf Majors Run

Monday, July 12th, 2010

ATLANTA - SEPTEMBER 24: Steve Stricker tees o...

Hi Guys:

Steve Stricker is hot as a pistol with his golf as he goes real deep at the John Deere Classic to win his second back to back PGA event there with  a record performance.

This is Steve’s fifth win in 15 months on the PGA tour and vaults him back to the No. 2 spot in the world rankings behind No. 1, Tiger Woods. By the end of the summer we might see a new number one on the world of golf, either Phil Mickelson or Steve Stricker, depending on the final majors. It happened in tennis this summer. Will it happen in golf?

What I like about Stricker and you can learn from is that he’s got a great scoring game from 125 yards and in. He’s great with the wedge shots and has a smooth silky putting stroke and this is where birdies and pars are saved along with making the super eagles he makes.

He drives the ball well off the tee. Not a long hitter by tour standards yet he knows how to position his tee shots in place to make the difference and he’ s smart when it comes to his course management and strategy skills.

Look for Steve to seriously contend in the summer final majors here especially back in his home state of Wisconsin, where the PGA Championship is next month in August at Kohler.

I especially like his great balance in his swing and has very good timing in hitting his golf shots.  Steve swings within himself and is an excellent model to emmulate, never forcing the shot with a consistent tempo. 

The British Open looks like a great third major getting underway on Thursday here from St. Andrews in Scotland.

All for now, 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.

Mickelson & Woods Head-up PGA Golf Field at Quail Hollow Event

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

Hi Everyone:

With an exciting Masters in the books, the PGA tour heads to the southeastern city of Charlotte, South Carolina next week with Hilton Head, a great venerable tour stop in between. Love that lighthouse there

Both Tiger Woods and Phil Michelson head up a stellar field of players at Quail Hollow in Charlotte  next week on a stunning venue that requires accuracy and distance.

With the US Open looming in less than two months now it looks Quail Hollow provides a major venue type course to work on key shots  in preparation for Pebble Beach in June at the US Open.

Could this be a preview of the showdown we’re looking for between Woods and Michelson going ‘possibly mano to mano’  for golf’s second major, the US Open?

Look for Phil to continue to use the three wood as a real driving weapon off the tee in his bag like he did at Augusta.  Then again he hit probably one of the best golf shots of all time in a major at The Masters out of the pine straw there on the back nine. Seems he just can’t always stay out of trouble and when he does he is a real magician on finding the green with his shot-making skills.

Can Phil overtake Tiger in the world rankings here this summer? Wow! That would be something else and a great summer for golf here. And then there’s the Ryder Cup in September as well. Exciting stuff!

Talk soon,

Phil Thrills Once Again at Masters Golf Final!

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

Phil Mickelson thrills Sunday Master final with great golf and a shot of the decade in the majors and wins his third Green Jacket. 

The shot on the 15 th hole the par five out of the pine straw to a tight pin over Rae’s Creek is one for the ages in tournament golf. He made birdie and win onto win his three Masters title and Green Jacket by three strokes. Tremendous!

Phil delights the crowd an the millions watching on TV. You have to admit this was great theater and one of the highest Sunday ratings of any sports event in recent years.

There was also Tiger Woods trying  to get back on track and winds-up fourth overall. Pretty good stuff.

Bob Cisco comments –

Phil wins due to his course management skills being firmly in place driving mostly with a three wood throughout the day.  He also relies on one of his greatest strengths which is courage and went for the ‘impossible’ shot and makes it happen. Then the legendry putting  king.

Lee  Westwood is poised for his first major for sure. Just needs to relax and know its going to happen and be totally himself. Golf is truly a mental game.

Tiger plays remarkably strong despite long lay-off.  Will hit stride in second or third major this summer for sure as he clears away personal problems with a major in sight.

Freddie and Tom played great golf at the Masters and got our attention for sure.

Anthony Kim poised for a great year and potential major winner here. A real young gun who can light it up!

Phil could over take Tiger’s No 1 world ranking this summer. Wow!

Should be a great boost for golf with this summer from this exciting Masters tournament.

All for now and most respective of a great Masters event 2010!

Els Ready Now For Golf’s Masters Run…

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

Hi Guys:

Golf’s first major of the year, The Masters is fast upon us with a field of old guard internationals playing great golf along with some new young talent and star power. Veterans like Els, Goosen and Lee Westwood are on their games and should do real well at Augusta.  

Anyway its Spring time in Augusta and time for a real shoot out at the Masters perhaps golf’s greatest championship.

Let’s see who wins in Houston athis week and then onto Augusta and the Masters tournament.

Amen Corner is where it will be at coming down the stretch on Sunday. Will it be Els who’ll make it happen this year. Can Phil or Tiger be in contention at the end. Or can Kenny Perry make up for his loss at last years Masters.  

Ernie Els off to his best start in years with victories at the Honda Classic and AP’s Invitational. The “Big Easy” is back! And looks like the man to beat and could be readied to win for the first time at Augusta.

Ernie looks really comfortable with his putting and confident with his ball striking. What great timing in the golf swing. He reminds me so much of Sam Snead’s great rhythmic swing.

The Aussies are hungry for a win at Augusta as well with Allenby and Oglivy leading the charge down old “Magnolia Lane”.

Then again don’t count out the old guard guys like former Masters champion Freddie Couples, who is also hot as a pistol, playing the Champions tour like a junior star for the first time in his inaugural season at age 50 with three straight wins. Freddie’s really driving and putting great! 

Then there’s VJ Singh whose won here and plays well here too.  Former champion Phil Michelson looking to break thru as well and win here in 2010.  Jim Furyk looks like he’s in form as well with two victories in the last four months to his credit. Ian Poulter, recent winner of the World Golf Championship should be up there on Sunday on the leaderboard as well.

This should be a great Masters tournament  and go down to the wire as usual.

Whose your pick to win at Augusta? Will it be a playoff?

All for now, Bob Cisco

Stricker Beats the Best Pro Golfers in Boston…

Wednesday, September 9th, 2009

Hi Guys:

Steve Stricker has become one heck of a player on the PGA tour the last two years.

He gets better and better and with being a great putter he is having his finest season on the PGA tour and leads in the Fed-Ex point’s standings now. And on top of that is No. 2 in the world of golf now. He’s been close to a major the last 1-2 yrs. Not bad for guy from Wisconsin. Next years spot for the PGA Championship not far from where he hails. So look out.

Great putter of the game and one of the best over the last 10 years on tour.

Goes to show you that when you have are a real good putter you can make things happen like knowing you need to birdie the last two holes to win.

I tell many of my students that the key importance to scoring is the short game from 60-70 yards and in and the ability to make key putts!  Oh what a feeling when you feel confident with the flat-stick.

I have a RULE about practice that it should be 70% short game at all times — if you want to master SCORING like the pros do.

I help golfers with various parts of their game and specialize in short game work. You can see some of this at my www.allaboutgolf.us. Go to the golf tips page for some good short game tips.

Let me know how it goes and scoring better!

Tiger Misses and Slocum Connects at the Barclay’s Golf…

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009
Tiger Misses and Slocum Connects!
 
Exciting finish to the Barclays Fed Ex Cup Tournament this
weekend!

 

You expected Tiger to make that six footer after that great
approach shot from the fairway. He missed it and a play-off!
In most situations, it’s a done deal for Tiger and another victory.

 

Yet there was Heath Slocum with the smooth, relaxed swing from

 the fairway shot and swinging the putter back and thru with rhythm

with the pressure on and down it went and his biggest tournament

check ever!

 

It certainly has a lot to do with the putter. Isn’t that the truth man.

 

You get up and down from around the green, from an errant fairway
shot and still you have that ONE chance to make your putt. In match
play it can quickly be all even again. And you go to the next hole
a winner.

 

So if you are having problems with your putting, three putting too

much and missing those short putts six feet and in putts then here’s
a solution for you that will give you the knowledge and restore the

that confident feeling in your putting stroke.

 

To find out more and to get my secret confidential report on

ultimate putting, send an e mail to bobcisco@allaboutgolf.us and

I’ll send you the special report.

A real turning point for Michelle Wie’s golf career at the Solheim Cup…

Monday, August 24th, 2009

Did you see the Solheim Cup finals? Wow!

I really got that this was a real turning point in Michelle Wie’s career as a true upcoming LPGA touring star. You see her determination as a  individual player in the singles matches and her new found strength  as a group team member. You see them both working as one for the American effort.

What a thrill to play for your country?

Winning three points in her first Solheim Cup appearance was impressive indeed. And helped the team defeat the Euros here on American turf in Illinois.

I think the golf camaraderie and sense of bonding with other key US players for Michelle, who has been labeled a bit of an isolationist and into her own thing as a player, will redefine her career and direction. And not only make her a better player but send her in the right orbit to higher heights.

Look for Michelle to go and win her first LPGA event this Fall. Like autumn, you can feel it in the golf air from where I am these days.

This is exciting!

That’s how I see it for the time being.

A Quick Mental Game Tip for You..!

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

Your mental attitude and how you
approach hitting shots has a lot to do with
the outcome. So if you approach or perceive shots in fear, anxiety or anger, the result will most likely not be positive, versus hitting shots
in interest or enthusiasm.

Try it and I think you’ll see better results with your game.

Who knows, you might even have more fun while playing.

Best regards, Bob Cisco

P.S. More Golf Tips like this are available on my web site at www.allaboutgolf.us/tips

Does that make sense? Try this out and let me
know if this works for you. Yep. You can’t worry about the past as it cannot be changed. You can only influence the future and positive attitude has everything to do with it.

All for now, Bob Cisco
