Has Anyone Heard From The Shotmaker??

Geesh,  this must be the longest damned vacation I have ever seen!! 

Hopefully the Shotmaker (TSM) has been out working on his game.  I know he has a tournament this weekend that will serve as a warmup to his qualifying round in the City Tournament. 

Next weekend he stays in tournament mode with an appearance at Country Oaks.  I say appearance because that is usually all it amounts to.  His off the course habits with the Mishit Mafia usually destroy his chances for a good finish.  What are friends for?? 

Well, here is your free golf swing tip this week.  If you are going to play in a tournament (or any serious round for that matter) you must begin by focusing on scoring beginning at the driving range.  The worst thing you can do on tournament day is to go to the range and try to figure out your swing problems.  Take the swing you have that day and work with it.  Don't try to turn natural fades into draws.  Focus on making solid contact and hold your follow through position until your ball hits the ground and you will be prepared.

For More Tips Go To

Pick specific targets on each shot and go through your pre-shot routine. (No TSM, that does not mean drink 6 beers.)  It means to focus on each shot and make it "real".  Scoring on the golf course is the only thing you can think about when you are playing.  You have to dance with the lady you brought to the dance.... no time for tinkering with swing adjustments.  Visualize each shot in your head before you approach your ball and then just relax and let it go!!

Until next time, Keep that tempo SMOOTH!!
