Top golf deals in Arizona, keeping your back healthy, and Frank Thomas on his new book, "Dear Frank"

Click here to hear this latest episode of TravelGolf.com This Week . In this week’s podcast, host Dave Berner talks to WorldGolf.com’s Mike Bailey about great off-season golf in Arizona . “Greens fees are definitely on the higher end, but I think there are some bargains now,” Bailey says. “If you look hard enough, I think you can find something right now.” Golf can be tough on the back. Dr. Chris Garner , a Myrtle Beach-area chiropractor (www.grandstrandchiropractic.com), gives a few tips for keeping your back healthy. “Golf can be a very strenuous sport to the body, in particular to the spine,” Garner says. “I give all of my golfers the booklet of golf stretches. Yoga and massage therapy can also be very good for golfers.” Noted golf equipment guru Frank Thomas talks about his new book, “Dear Frank.” “I’ve been answering questions for the Golf Channel, Golf Digest and for our own Web site for the last four years,” Thomas says. “We selected 100 of the best and put them into a book.” This podcast is supported by Walter’s Golf in Las Vegas and San Diego Golf Central .

Why Henry Hates Golf Part II!

Why Henry Hates Golf Part II! “Well Henry, first you’ll need to find where your strengths and weaknesses are in order to really know where you need to practice.” “Marc I know what my strengths and weaknesses are; that’s easy. My short game is the strongest part of my game. And my driver is my weakest. I can pretty much chip on to the green and 2-putt every time. I just have trouble hitting the fairways. If I can hit more fairways, my scores will drop instantly!” Henry said. I could see Henry starting to get the look of dreaming of what it would be like to hit the golf ball great every time. “Henry, before we just say that the strong part of your game is your short game and your weak point is your driving, let’s do some games and see what the results show us.” Henry answered before my lips stopped moving like he was waiting for me to stop talking. “There’s no need, my Driver is definitely 100% of the problem. If I can hit it consistently, I can score in the low 80’s. Let’s just start there. Whenever I’ve been to a golf lesson, we just started hitting golf balls with a 7-iron and moved into the Driver after about 15 minutes. Why don’t we just start there?” “We could just start there, but that hasn’t helped you in the past has it?” I asked Henry in a semi-sarcastic voice. “Well, it helped a little,” Henry, whispered. “I guess I got better for a little bit, but it didn’t last long. Did that Pro and I work on the wrong thing in my golf swing?” Henry asked. “Maybe we should’ve worked more on the swing plane of my golf swing. Marc are we going to put my swing on video to work on the swing plane?” “Henry, if you want to start to see improvement, you must start looking at golf improvement in a different way. We need to start calling everything you did before today as ‘your past’ and everything starting now as ‘your present’. The way you’ve been going about trying to play better golf in ‘your past’ has not worked. It has brought you mostly aggravation and disappointment because you haven’t played up to your expectations and people you know that you should beat, are beating you routinely.” I continued, “Keep this thought in your mind – The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results. If you adapt this quote to golf, it’s what you and 1000’s of Golfers like you are doing – Practicing the same things over and over and expecting to see improvements. In order to see improvements in your game you must start practicing smarter. You must find what your weaknesses truly are. Most Golfers that I see assume they know what their weaknesses are – yet in reality, what they think are their weaknesses are their really strengths! So they spend most of their time practicing their strengths, instead of practicing their weaknesses. That’s one reason they don’t improve.” “So you are saying that although I feel my weakness is my driving, that my driving is probably my strength? And that my short game is my weakness? OK, so let’s start! Where do we go from here?” Henry asked. “We are going to start with your ball striking” I said. “What club, 7-iron?” Henry asked. “Henry, lets start with your sand wedge.” Henry in a somewhat puzzled voice asked, “Sand Wedge? Are we going in the sand?” “No Henry, we aren’t going in the sand. We’re going to test your ball striking with your sand wedge. The thought being, if you can’t hit your sand wedge solid from 15 yards off the green with a short stroke, what are the chances of you hitting a solid 5-iron from 175-yards onto the green?” I continued as we walked towards the practice green, “I want you to hit these 10 balls into that box I made on the green.” I had already made what we call ‘The Box’, by putting 4-Bamboo Sticks in the ground around the hole. Each Stick is placed 6-feet from the hole and it makes the shape of a square. “Henry, when you can hit 7 out of 10 golf balls into The Box, we’ll move on. But, we’ll continue to practice trying until you can get 7 out of 10 in The Box. The thought being, if you’re not hitting the ball consistent enough to get 7 into box from 15 yards away, what are your chances of consistently hitting a 5-iron or driver solid on a full swing?” “Well Marc, that’s a fair assessment.” “Henry, before we start, I want to give you some statistics of the results of a few levels of Golfers because if you don’t know what’s expected of you and don’t have goals to shoot for, it’s very hard to get to the next level. The average 90-shooter gets 4 in the box. The average 80-shooter gets 8 in the box and the average 2-handicap gets 10 in the box and 1 in the hole.” Henry started chipping: The 1st chip was short of The Box, 2nd long, 3rd in The Box. 4th was short, 5th was short, 6th in The Box. 7th short, 8th in The Box, 9th short and 10th in The Box. “Henry, lets look at your results so we can see where we need to go next. You had 4 in the box, 5 short and 1 long. What does that tell you?” “Marc it says that I need to practice my chipping. It also shows that half my balls where not just short of the hole, but short of the box and the front of the box is a good 7-feet short of the hole. The ones in the box are pretty good and I could probably putt those into the hole. But, that says I am only getting up-n-down 4 out of 10 times from just off the green. Do you see this often from people that think their short game is the best part of their game?” Henry asked, even though he knew what my answer would be. “Without a doubt. And we play this game not only for your short game and seeing how many times you can get up-n-down, but it also tells us about your ball striking. We can’t forget that if 5 of your balls are more than 7-feet short, 4 are in the box and 1 is more than 7 feet long, from such a short distance, how can you expect to be consistent with longer more difficult clubs from longer more difficult distances?” “So Marc, what you’re saying is that I need to practice more around the greens, until I become more consistent with the sand wedge before I start practicing my other clubs?” Henry offered. “Yes, but I think you’ll improve and be moving on to the next clubs faster than you think. Karate has done a much better job than golf has in letting the participants play to their skill level.” Henry blurted out, “Karate!?” “Yes Henry, Karate. In Karate you’re given a belt according to your skill level. The lower belts like a white belt knows his or her skill level isn’t as high as a black belts skill level, so you practice skills that will get you to the next level which is yellow. Then when you are a yellow, you practice skills that will help you move on to an orange belt, and then so on up to a black belt. But, a white, yellow or orange for that matter, know they can’t do the same things as a black belt. If they did, they’d probably end up hurting themselves. So their practice is set-up to help them work on their way up the order of belts.” “So Marc, are you saying that I am a white belt that is trying to play like a black belt? And that that has been hurting my progress?” Henry offered. “Henry, you’re the best! Yes, that’s what I’m saying. We watch golf on television and we see Tiger hitting a 3-wood from 250-yards from the green and we think we should play the same shot as Tiger. But, Tiger is a Black Belt.” Henry interjected with laughter “Tiger’s probably a 10th degree Black Belt in golf terms!” “Henry, you’re right. You on the other hand are probably a Yellow Belt in golf. You shouldn’t be trying to practice the same stuff as Tiger. You need to practice the things that’ll get you to be an Orange Belt, which is the equivalent of a high 80’s shooter. And that’s what we’re going to speak about right now!” “Henry, what makes the golf ball go up in the air? ” Henry answered, “loft.” “Yes Henry, loft is part of the answer, but what makes the golf ball go up and stay up?” “Getting underneath the golf ball?” Henry said with a semi-puzzled look. “Not really” I said. “My thought is this – If you don’t know what truly makes the golf ball go up in the air, how are you going to be able to do it consistently? What makes the golf ball go consistently up in the air for every club, not just the sand wedge, but every club is…” Look for the solution that will help Henry become a more consistent Golfer in next week’s Golf Made Simple Golf Improvement Weekly as Marc outlines what it takes to become more consistent and confident.

Get a grip with Gary Wiren, PGA Tour and Ian’s Friends Foundation join forces, and La Quinta Resort in California

Click here to hear this latest episode of TravelGolf.com This Week . In this week’s podcast, host Dave Berner talks to PGA Hall of Fame member Gary Wiren , director of instruction for Donald Trump Golf Properties and founder of Golf Around the World , about perfecting your golf grip. “Why do people slice more than people hook?” asks Wiren. “Well, first of all, it starts with the grip. Ben Hogan said it: ‘Good golf starts with a good grip.’” Phil Yagoda, founder of Ian’s Friends Foundation , talks about the foundation’s work with the PGA Tour to raise money for pediatric tumor research. Mike Bailey says playing golf at the famed La Quinta Resort in southern California is well worth the expense. “I don’t know if there’s a better place,” Bailey says. “If you can scrape [the money] together, if you’re a golfer, this is one of the places you should treat yourself to before you leave this golfing life.” This podcast is supported by Arizona Golf Packages and Florida Golf and Travel .

Why Henry Hates Golf!

“I hate this game! I hate it! Why do I play this stupid game? I quit – I’m never playing again!” Henry blasted himself. I heard Henry as he was walking to his car and wondered why he was so down on himself. Henry is a hard worker, I see him at least once a week hitting balls on the practice range. I’ll be going to the first tee with a Golf Made Simple class to do our on-course Instruction and there will be Henry banging balls on the practice range – one after another – “looking for the magic”. I approached Henry and asked – “What is wrong? Why do you hate golf? The last time I saw you practicing on the range, you had a smile on your face and you gave me the thumbs up.” Henry says, “Marc, I’m so frustrated with this game. I put everything I got into trying to play better. And just when I think I got it, I go out on the course, like I did today. I…I…I…I go out and embarrass myself. I get so mad by the 7th or 8th hole that I can’t even bring myself to play the back 9 holes.” “Henry those are the words of a frustrated golfer – or should I say – The words of a frustrated golfer that knows he could do better than he is doing. Do you really hate golf? Or are your expectations too high for your present skill level? I find it extremely important to truly know what your skill level is and then understand – ‘OK, this is what I score, at this point if I get upset at myself for every little mistake I make, I will never allow myself to get better!” Henry usually scores between 92 and 102 (except for the occasional ‘blow-up round’ where he scores around 107, but he also has rounds where his 1 mulligan a side allows him to stay in the high 90’s). Henry has a deep desire to break 90 for the first time. And on top of that, he has the desire to score in the low 80’s every time he plays. These are very admirable goals. So I said – “Henry, these are fantastic goals. And I know you’ll achieve them. First, we need to outline what aspects of your game you need to improve to reach these goals. Too many times Golfers feel as though if they go to the driving range once a week to hit golf balls, they should expect to get better.” “But Marc,” Henry said, “Isn’t hitting the ball better, the key to lower scores?” If I go to the range once a week, I should be able to hit one or two buckets and learn to hit the ball straight. This way I will soon be in the low 80’s.” “Henry, how long have you been trying to score in the low 80’s?” “For about 5 years”, Henry answered. “Henry, how long have you had the routine of going to the range and trying to hit the ball straight?” I could tell Henry could see where I was going by the bashful smile on his face. “Well Marc, I’ve been doing this on and off for 2 or 3 years. Is this not enough? Do I need to go to the range more often?” “Henry, before we say you need to go to the range more often, tell me what you do when you go to the range? What’s your routine? What’s your PLAN?” Henry looks at me and with a confused look in his eyes and says, “What do you mean by PLAN? I go out and hit golf balls and try to make them go straight down the middle. If I want to hit the ball better, I need to learn to hit the ball straight! If I can’t do that, I’ll never score in the low 80’s.” “ What I mean by PLAN is – what are you doing to learn to hit the ball straight? The key to playing better golf has many factors involved. And consistency is a factor.” “Yes, that’s what I want – consistency! That’s what I’m practicing – hitting the ball consistently straight. That’s why I go to the range!” Henry interrupted. “OK Henry, I understand. But, let’s look at a way we can put some consistency into your practice time. Many Golfers feel that if they pound ball after ball after ball, they will get it. I wish it were that easy. I’ve been around many great Players in my life and if there’s one thing they all have in common, it’s that they come to the practice range with a PLAN in their head on what they want to accomplish. “See most Golfers expect to go out to the range and learn to hit the ball straight in that one session. The better Players know that isn’t going to happen. They go to work on one thing at a time. They go to the range with the thought of working on one small aspect of their swing only – and it isn’t just trying to hit the ball straight.” I continued – “And the most important part of this routine is they do not venture away from their PLAN for that day. Most regular Golfers will go out to work just on hitting the ball straight. They might magically find something that works for a few swings and softly say to themselves ‘I got it, I got it’, and then just as fast as it appeared, it disappears. Henry, what does this Golfer do next? He starts to tinker with other things to try and recapture those straight shots. Then after a half-hour of tinkering with diminishing results, he leaves the range in frustration hating the game.” “That’s me! That’s me! Have you seen me at the range practicing and getting frustrated?” Henry asked. “Each time I go out to practice, I get ‘it’ – for a few swings. Then it disappears. I hate that!” “Well Henry, this happens to everybody – even the best Players. Though, you know why it doesn’t happen to them as much? Because they come to the practice range with a PLAN and they don’t venture from that PLAN. They stick with it and they don’t expect miracles. They know if they get just a little better every time they practice, that after a few times to the practice range, they will be that much better. But the average Golfer goes to the practice range thinking and expecting to solve all their swing flaws within hitting a few buckets of balls. So they always leave frustrated. How do the best Players leave each practice session? They leave like they accomplished something and can’t wait to practice again. They feel so much more satisfied with themselves than the regular Golfer. And that satisfaction turns into confidence on the golf course!” “I want to practice like that! I want to feel like I am getting better every time I’m on the practice range! I want to become more consistent!” Henry said with so much hope and energy. “Well Henry, first you’ll need to …” Look for the solution that will help Henry become more consistent in next week’s Golf Made Simple – Golf Improvement Weekly – as we outline what it takes to become more consistent and confident. What points were made in this Chapter of “Why Henry Hates Golf!” Set realistic expectations: If you’re scoring between 95 and 105 – it’s great to want to break into the 80’s, but first you need score a 93 before you can score an 89. If you put too much pressure on yourself to have to score 44 on the front nine, you’ll end up with a 49 instead. And knowing that you scored a 49 on the front nine might lead to put too much pressure on yourself to score a 40 on the back. What will happen on the back? Well, by the 15th hole when that 40 is out of reach … you’ll be happy to be walking off the 18th green with a 50-something for the back nine. Strive for small improvements week after week – rather than trying for huge improvements every time you play or practice. Go ahead, be a Player!

How To Make A Consistent Golf Swing With Your Driver

The Driver is the name of the game. There’s nothing more satisfying than walking off the 18th green knowing that you hit your Driver well all day. In fact, there are times that I play golf just because I want the adrenaline rush that accompanies hitting great drives on the golf course. To put it bluntly – you need to hit your Driver well to have fun on the golf course. Yes, you can hit your Driver well and still not score well on the golf course. Though, it’s very difficult to score well if you’re hitting your Driver poor – tee shot after tee shot. So saying that – let’s talk about your Driver and how you can start experiencing the euphoria of great drives. Let’s start out with a little quiz: When hitting your Driver – should you try to: A) Swing harder than you swing your pitching wedge B) Swing easier than you swing your pitching wedge C) Swing with the same amount of effort as you swing your pitching wedge Answer C So, if your Driver is holding you back – it could be caused by the effort you’re putting into swinging your golf club. We often have many Golfers coming to see us either swinging way too hard with their Driver or (and this may surprise many of you) we see almost as many Golfers swinging way too easy with their Driver. We see the greatest improvement from our Golfers when they learn and understand that if they put the same amount of effort into swinging your Driver as you do with your pitching wedge – that you’ll see incredible improvement in a short time. Why is this? Well, let’s start with the swinging too hard problem that many face tee shot after tee shot. Listen, everybody at one time or the other has been accused (or self-accused) of swinging too hard at the golf ball with your Driver. “Oh, dang it – I just tried to kill that golf ball!” I’m sure Tiger has done the same – so you’re in good company. It’s frustrating that you know that you shouldn’t swing so hard at the golf ball, yet time after time, slice after slice – we continue to do it! Believe me, there isn’t any way to guarantee that you’ll never swing too hard ever again. Though, there are proven ways to make sure you swing smoother most of the time – or at least 9 out of 10 times. Though, what about the swinging too easy issue you might be experiencing? There’s a lot more of these type’s of Golfers out there than you may have thought. You actually maybe doing this and not even know it because many times Golfers are swinging too easy – yet it appears to others that you’re swinging too hard. I guess a simpler way of saying it is these Golfers decelerate their swings when swinging their Driver. Which may come as a shock to many because deceleration is often pegged to other clubs such as wedges (around the green) and putting strokes. Many Golfers can’t imagine that they’re decelerating with their Driver – yet many of you are. The question that is often asked when this subject is brought up is – “Why would anyone decelerate their Driver?” And the best answer I can give you is that it’s probably because you’ve been accused of swinging too hard too many times. And we all know – it’s been pounded into our heads – that swinging too hard with your Driver is one of the ‘7 Deadly Sins’ we can commit on the golf course. What’s another ‘Deadly Sin’ on the golf course – ‘Thou shall not use your ball retriever to fish for more golf balls after you found yours!’ Once you find it, drop it, hit it and move along. Amen. So the affect of constantly being told that you’re swinging too hard is that you end up standing over the golf ball wanting to hit a good tee shot, while at the same time you’re convincing yourself to “swing nice ‘n slow, swing nice ‘n slow, swing nice ‘n slow”. It’s almost like you’re trying to hypnotize yourself. And using the philosophy of – if you hear the same thing over and over, you’ll start believing it – you start to be more and more cautious about swinging too hard. So to give you a better picture/understanding of what I’m speaking about: There are two ways to decelerate – you could be decelerating your body so that your arms are out racing your body to the golf ball (thus becoming disconnected) or you could be decelerating your arms and having your body out race your arms to the golf ball (also becoming disconnected). Either way – you’re becoming disconnected and causing yourself to lose control of your club, your club face and thus … your golf ball. Either way – it’ll appear to others that are watching you (and to yourself) that you’re swinging too hard because you lost control. Yet, is it that you’re swinging too hard? Or is it that since your arms are out racing your body (which had decelerated) – it just appears as if your arms are swinging too hard. Think of it this way – if you’re body didn’t decelerate and was moving along with your arms – you’d hit a great shot and it would appear as if you had made a smooth, fluid, easy golf swing. Yet, because your body slowed down – it makes it appear as if you were swinging your arms too fast. When in reality, your arms were moving at the proper pace. And the same is true vise versa: if your arms slow down and your body continues to move as it should – others will be telling you that you’re swinging too hard and that “you’re getting way too far ahead of the ball”. Yet, in reality, all that’s happening is that your arms were decelerating. And because you looked so discombobulated – it appears as if you were swinging harder than you should. Do you want to become more consistent with your Driver? Learn to control your Pace of Swing. GMS uses more than a few Drills to help Golfers to become more consistent with their Driver. The Golfers that continue to practice these Drills see tremendous improvement off the tee with their Driver. Tremendous Improvement! Now, I obviously can’t get into great detail here in this format – so I’ll go through a few fairly quickly. The first is almost always mentioned in the Testimonials we receive and display on our website and in Golf Improvement Weekly – simply “Tick Tock”. The Golfers that are serious about “Tick Tock” – improve dramatically. The Golfers that aren’t committed about it still improve – though maybe not as much as the ones that are serious about it. So simply – get serious and stay committed to your “Tick Tock”. The second is the Half Swing Driver Drill. I can’t think of a better way to warm-up than Half Swing Drivers. The control that you achieve over your Driver using the Half Swing Driver Drill when it’s a part of the 29 Ball Warm-up is incredible. In fact, I know one Golfer that has improved dramatically that says that he attributes the 29 Ball Warm-up to being one of the main reasons he was so much more consistent in 2008 than ever before. And he maybe the world’s biggest advocate for the Half Swing Driver Drill! The third is the Alternating Clubs Drill. What we have found is that Golfer’s that are constantly practicing with their lower number clubs and then gradually moving up to their longer clubs and eventually to their Driver – get into the habit of swinging each club harder and harder. And then after they discover they’re swinging their Driver too hard – they move into the decelerating debacle I mentioned above. The Alternating Clubs Drill allows the Golfer to feel as if every club is being swung with the same amount of effort. It’s amazing how this Drill allows a Golfer to swing the club more controlled in a short period of time. And because of this, its fun to watch our Golfers smile again as they walk up to the 1st tee in anticipation of hitting a good Driver as opposed to glum and hesitant about hitting another you know what. And it’s even more fun watching that same Golfer hit a fantastic Driver, and then walk off the tee feeling great about their golf game, their golf swing and their Driver – as opposed to you know what. Saying that – It’s amazing to me that with the success that Golfers see with the GMS program – that people choose others methods. When other programs are struggling so badly that they are constantly lowering prices to get customers because they never have any returnees – GMS had a record 2008. And that record can be attributed to the hundreds of returning Golfers and the friends they brought back with them. And there’s nothing more rewarding than seeing a Golfer that comes back to see us and who says something along the lines of – “I had so much fun playing Golf this past year and I attribute it all to GMS, the Drills and the PLAN you gave me.” So if you come to see us in what remains of 2008 or in 2009 – we’re continuing our commitment to helping Golfers continually improve their golf games. You can trust that in addition to all the GMS Drills (some mentioned above), we’re still leading the Golf Instruction Industry in developing and improving our program so that our Golfers continue to improve at the fastest rate in the business. Our belief at GMS is – ‘When you succeed in Golf – we succeed in Golf!’ Therefore we want to see you play your best golf ever!

Holiday golf in Hawaii, budget golf on the Gulf Coast, pro golf’s silly season

Click here to hear this latest episode of TravelGolf.com This Week . In this week’s podcast, host Dave Berner talks to Tim Hurja of HawaiiGolfCentral.com about holiday golf in Hawaii . “Hawaii really takes off starting right at the holidays,” Hurja says. “We’ve got a couple specials going right now on Oahu.” The economy is in trouble, but you can still golf in the Gulf Coast region of the Southeast if you’re on a budget, says TravelGolf.com’s Tom Spousta. In “Biloxi and over near the Gulf Shores of Alabama, there are some great deals,” he says. Plus, WorldGolf.com’s Mike Bailey talks about professional golf’s silly season. “It’s pure entertainment,” Bailey says. “It’s a chance to draw in people who really aren’t big golf fans.” This podcast is supported by Arizona Golf Packages and Florida Golf and Travel .
