Don't Practice 'Till You Get It Right. Practice 'Till You Can't Get It Wrong

This week Golf Magazine Top 100 Teacher, Jeff Smith, shares some ideas on how to practice much more effectively. He not only gives ideas on how to create and execute some effective drills at home for mere pennies but he also explains how to set up a practice area at home that will show you the effects of every shot without the expense of a big dollar simulator. We also have an interesting conversation with Brent Paschal of Safe Play Golf about his Monster Mat (must be said with your best Bobby ·Boris· Picket voice). His Monster Mat feels just like hitting off grass at the course. Get one of these, a net, a sheet and some duct tape and you have a fully functional practice area in your very own home. See the Monster Mat at either safeplaygolf.com or monstermat.golf

How To Get A Hole-In-One

This week on Those Weekend Golf Guys we talk about a couple different things. First, Jeff was at the American Junior Girls Tourney in Colorado Springs and watched his own student miss the cut by only 3 strokes. But he also saw her barely miss a Hole-In-One. Her Tee shot hit the flag stick and bounced away instead of down. Bad break. But that brought us to discuss how easy is it to get a hole-in-one? Jeff talks the odds and the technique. We also talk to the inventor of one of those golf bags that when you see it you say, ·why didn·t I think of that?· Well it·s a remarkable bag, all-in one type with wheels if you want them, stand if you need it and the ability to attach to a cart when you are riding. It·s also not only a great idea, it·s available to all Weekend Golf Guys listeners if you go to http://revolvegolf.com and use the code ·weekendgolfguys· for $50 off so you·ll pay $200 not $250. Listen and enjoy the second Best Golf Show In The World.

When The Lesson Didn't Work

So many times after a lesson we get out on the range with what we’ve just been taught fresh in our minds and we start to practice and…it doesn’t work. Are we doing it wrong? Did we misunderstand? Probably not. Probably the problem is our body doesn’t move the way it should to accomplish the desired effect of the techniques we’ve just been taught. Gold Magazine Top 100 Teacher, Jeff Smith, this week talks about ways a teacher, or even you yourself, can run some diagnostics to determine how well your body can move and how you should swing the club accordingly. Sawing plane, swing path, ball position and body position all depend on how your body moves, on how far your hips turn and many more elements of movement that Jeff explains in great detail. And also, there is a video version of the podcast this week on YouTube.
