Simple Golf Swing Secrets
In preparation for my overseas game for Tuesday, was practicing yesterday a particular golf thought with a buddy of mine. It seems that my hand was placed a little too far from my body. Closer observation of the professionals, like Garcia and Tiger, their hands are placed very close to their lower body.
Tip #1:
I used to have a swing thought, that having the hands too close was incorrect. After having made this correction, I now bring my hands closer to my body, and not just for the short irons but for every club in the bag.
Tip #2
During the take away, its also important to move the triangle formed by the left and right fore arms in one motion to the 2 o'clock or 8 o'clock position, depending from your point of view. Erine Els said the takeaway is all hands, while some people just move their entire chest to the right (if you're a right hander). To me, I think both work, so long as it is a 1 piece takeaway for the triangle formed by the left and right forearms.
Tip #3
Its also important to note that the shaft of the club does not pass the toe line. This is the imaginary line drawn across the toes of the left and right foot.
One interesting point to note is that keeping the hand close to the body, does not mean that the club head will cross this toe line. Its a false golf thought I had, and hope if you're reading this, it will help you too.
Be sure to have a golf buddy take a video for you, and read lots of golf books because have the right golf thoughts mixed with your vides will produce you a beautiful and elegant golf swing!

Speed ReaderTime Management Technique - Procrastination Through Exaggeration
A reality check is a good time management technique. When you procrastinate because of exaggeration you exaggerate the extent and involvement of a project. Part of you is hoping that will make others just give up and go away, but that doesnt work all that often. Break the project down into its components to understand the full scope of the project, and then just work on one component at a time until its done.
Another good time management technique is to get the overall scope down on paper before starting anything. Write out a quick rough draft identifying the big pieces needed for the project. Check and review to make sure you havent forgotten anything, and that you havent added more than is necessary.
Look at each big piece and write out the major steps or activities required to accomplish each one. This time management technique either re-enforces that the project is as big as you thought, or it demonstrates that maybe its not as bad as you were making it out to be. When the project really is big, look for outside help to get things done rather than just putting it to the side because it seems overwhelming.
Delegation is always a good time management technique so ask yourself, what can I delegate? Now if you believe the only way to get things done right is to do them yourself this will be really hard for you. If you think this way I challenge you to recognize that youre also creating your own time management prison where you have to be at the center of everything or nothing happens.
The next time management technique is to break the big steps or activities into all the little supporting steps or activities. This serves two purposes. First, it prevents you from overlooking things and having to scramble to recover. Second, as you go through this thought process youre getting everything that needs to go on your to do list so you can efficiently work down your list checking things off as you go.
Exaggeration procrastination doesnt have to foil your time management techniques. Exaggeration is just part of who you are, and there isnt anything wrong with that. Now you can choose how you respond to your need for exaggeration by stepping up and taking control and getting things done no matter how big or small.
