How do golf and fitness go together? Why do I need golf fitness training? What difference would a golf fitness program make to my golf game?
I can tell you all about that from what I have seen with my friend and golfing buddy, Dooley Duffer.
Dooley had been away from the game for some years. His career and family took priority over his time and golf, although he loved it, it just would not fit into his schedule. As he advanced in his career he became less physically active. He even moved to a management position so time in the office was nothing like the work he had been doing.
His body began to show his change in lifestyle. Don’t tell him I told you this, but his middle seemed to grow faster than his salary. Bet you know how that story goes, huh?
He had only played very occasionally during that time. So I don’t think he realized how much being out of shape affected his golf swing performance.
Then Dooley changed companies and began to play golf regularly again thanks to his new boss who had recently taken up the game. With his kids grown Dooley now had more time to devote to golf and it only took one round back on the course to re-ignite the passion which had burned so brightly in days gone by.
As he began to play more often his physical limitations became more and more of an issue. He struggled at times to finish a round; scores would escalate due to inconsistent swings, loss of concentration and general fatigue. He would even huff and puff when walking up hills in spite of always riding a cart. I can remember having to wait for him to catch his breath before he could putt on elevated greens. No chance he could walk when he played.
Then over a few weeks I began to notice improvement in Dooley’s game. Less and less of the struggles I had noticed before and more successful golf shots, better concentration and less fatigue. He even began saying he wanted to play an extra 9 holes!
You see, conditioning is critical to your overall golf performance. And poor physical conditioning will certainly ruin your golf performance. Just ask Dooley about that.
What was Dooley’s secret? Had he hired a golf fitness trainer? Did he use golf fitness videos? What had he done to improve his fitness for golf and his golf handicap?
Turns out he had not done any of those things exactly. He said he found this golf fitness eBook called “Ultimate Golf Fitness Guide” by Mike Pedersen. Seems Mike’s eBook is about how to improve your golf fitness at home in less than 30 days. Mike says that the secret to lower scores and longer drives is all about getting your body to move just a little bit better.
Dooley said that he took the advice seriously and began to feel results quickly. He began to notice he felt better on the course. That was very encouraging to him and he was able to keep at it. He had tried exercising before but soon lost interest but this was different. He could see improvement and he knew why! The Ultimate Golf Fitness Guide had delivered on its promise. Dooley says this is the kind of thing anyone could and should do from home to improve their fitness for golf.
Having watched Dooley now for these past few months make such wonderful progress, I too can recommend “Ultimate Golf Fitness Guide”. (Yes, I am on it now too.)
If you need help with your golf fitness program, if you run short of breath at times or struggle scoring over the last few holes of a round then please look into how Ultimate Golf Fitness Guide could help you see the same kind of improvement Dooley is experiencing.

Golf Swing Instruction: How You Can Get the Golf Ball Airborne Today.
Stop hitting those embarrassing worm burners today and begin to easily carry your ball over the hazards instead of into them. Learn how the laws of physics, when correctly applied to your golf swing, will get the ball airborne on the correct trajectory making it fly farther and straighter than ever before!
Topping a golf shot is embarrassing and frustrating. Why is so hard to get the ball airborne on the proper trajectory? After all, you did take the time to go through your set-up routine checking alignment, posture, balance and so on. You placed the club carefully behind the ball. You execute the backswing and then the downswing only to see a shot where the ball barely gets off the ground if at all (hence the term worm burner) rolling to a stop nowhere near your intended landing area. You are most likely left with an impossible second shot where going for the green is nearly out of the question. Now this looks like the best you can do is bogey with double bogey very much in play.
When Dooley Duffer, my golfing buddy, started topping shots a few weeks back he was so embarrassed and discouraged. He began trying to explain it to us as the round progressed. “I can’t remember when I have ever topped the ball so much. That is just not like me. I have tried to make adjustments to correct the trajectory but I am still topping the ball.” he said.
Well his memory and mine are a bit different. As I recall he goes through spells where he tops the ball resulting in short and extremely low trajectory shots. So I gently reminded him that he had a similar problem this past January (We live in the Charlotte, NC area where year round play is possible). Then while he was commiserating over another topped shot, this one his second to a long par 5, I asked him what he did to correct the issue the last time.
He replied that he had just downloaded the eBook “How to Break 80” by Jack Moorehouse back then. He said that Jack had some good golf tips and drills in that book. So I asked him, “When was the last time you looked it over?” To which he replied, “Based on the way I am playing it has been far too long! Let’s go back to my place after the round and look that over. I can’t stand to play this poorly any longer.”
You see golf, unlike some other sports, is a game of opposites. A golfer must swing easy to hit the ball far, aim to the right to make the ball turn left and then there is the one that was giving Dooley so much trouble that day. You must hit down on the ball to make it go up. That is how the rule of opposites works in golf.
This is counter-intuitive to most of us. We want to swing under the ball and lift it up into the air in an upward motion. That is logical but wrong because it ignores the laws of physics and the design of the face of the golf club. The lofted face is an important part of the club’s mechanics; put trust in it and it will do most of the work for you.
Jack Moorehouse explains it better than I can in his book “How to Break 80”
Here are 5 keys to stopping topped shots:
• Address the ball with a normal stance
• Position the ball inside your left heel
• Use a one-piece takeaway
• Use a descending blow
• Finish in balance
To eliminate topped shots address the ball as you normally would, but make sure the ball is no further forward than the inside of your left heel. This is the base of your swing arc. Positioning the ball back in your stance enables you to make contact at the lowest point of your swing. Use a one-piece takeaway and strike the ball with a descending blow. Finish in balance.
Moving the ball back in your stance generates more backspin. This backspin, when applied correctly, works to negate sidespin, which results in more control.
The Two Tee Drill
To stop topping shots put a tee in the spot you would normally use for a fairway wood. Instead of hitting from that tee, place another tee with a ball two inches behind the empty tee in front. As you hit a few shots focus on grazing the empty tee after you make contact with the ball. Repeat several times. As you practice, you’ll see your shots gaining more and more height.
After practicing with the fairway wood, try other clubs requiring a descending-to-level blow for consistent contact, such as hybrids, irons, and wedges. With hybrids, separate the tees one to two inches apart. With irons and wedges, an inch apart.
As you practice, you’ll see the number of top balls or thin shots dwindle. Eventually, the topped shot will make its way out of your repertoire altogether.
If you need sound golf swing instruction to help you develop the proper descending blow and lower your handicap then I would like to point you in the direction of How to Break 80. Then you too can use it like Dooley did as a future reference to help your swing when things go a bit haywire as they sometimes will.
The best thing is that all of this help is less than most lessons with a pro, a single training aide or instructional DVD. He is offering a 90-day money back guarantee, so if you don't like the book simply return it. But, once you get into his drills, I highly doubt that you'll need that guarantee.

Golf Swing Instruction: How to Develop a Repeatable Golf Swing
Find out the all important critical golf swing keys that will enable you to have a repeating golf swing and hit the farther and ball straighter. Lower scores and handicap will soon follow!
The other day I was watching a Golf Channel commercial where Tiger Woods was conducting a clinic. As part of the promo the played a quote from him where he said, "There is no one way to swing a golf club". Boy did that start me thinking.
You know how differently one pro golfer may swing compared to another (Jim Furyk vs Tiger). Yet they both score well and are highly ranked in the World Golf Standings. How can that be?
There is a golfer at our course who I thought of immediately when Tiger made that comment. We took notice of him some time back as he was normally on the course about the same time we played. He has the most quirky swing I have ever seen. So quirky that our group would often make humorous comments about it.
This fellow would take the club back to waist high, then pause, turn back, then pause again, then up to the top and another even longer pause and finally he would swing down and thru where he would hold the finish position for the longest time. He did all of this while appearing as stiff and mechanical as is possible for a human being. He reminds me of a human version of "Iron Byron".
As luck would have it, this one Saturday, Dooley Duffer and I were paired with him and his friend. We didn't realize it was the guy with the quirky swing until the first tee. As he began to take some practice swings to warm up there it was that herky jerky, stiff as a board, mechanical looking, robotic "Iron Byron" swing.
Dooley and I did all we could to hold back the chuckles. Mumbling to each other about how we were expecting a long round with this guy chasing his errant shots all over the place. We couldn’t have been more wrong!
This guy kept the ball in the fairway and hit most of the greens. He scored well on nearly every hole. Even shooting 2 under par on the back side! All with that quirky "Iron Byron" swing. He really shut us up.
How? He was able to repeat the swing over and over. As Dooley said later, "The ball did not care about all of that herky jerky stuff in his backswing, just the angle of the clubface at impact." And that guy certainly had a repeating golf swing in spite of or maybe because of all that herky jerky motion.
Here is what Jack Moorehouse, author of "How to Break 80...", has to say on the subject of repeating golf swings.
Dooley even went to the range one day and tried the "Iron Byron" swing just for kicks so to speak. He kept hitting the ball with a high fade/slice. All the more admiration for the guy who made it work so well. At least for that round that very unconventional swing was a repeatable swing. And that repeating swing made all the difference between his scorecard and ours.
If you need sound golf swing instruction to help you develop a repeating golf swing and lower your handicap then I would like to point you in the direction of How to Break 80. It is far better than struggling on your own or trying to groove an unconventional repeatable swing like "Iron Byron's"!
The best thing is that all of this help is less than most lessons with a pro, a single training aide or instructional DVD. He is offering a 90-day money back guarantee, so if you don't like the book simply return it. But, once you get into his drills, I highly doubt that you'll need that guarantee.

The more we can repeat the same swing, the more often we will achieve a predictable result -the secret to lower golf handicaps. To build a repeatable swing, we must:Now I am not suggesting here that you work on developing a swing like "Iron Byron's". I think most of us would find it even more difficult to repeat his swing than a more conventional swing. That is because for most of us the conventional swing is the more repeatable golf swing.
· Stay connected
· Set the club on the correct plane.Staying connected is a common factor found among all good repeatinggolf swings. The shoulders, arms, hands, and club should all move away from the ball in unison. Hinging or cocking the wrists sets the club on the correct plane, which keeps the clubface square to the path of the golf swing.
Two other important essentials in building a repeatable swing are:
· Swinging to the top of the slot
· Retaining power in the swing
If the club's shaft is horizontal to the ground, it should be parallel to the target line. The angle of the club should match the angle of the forearm while maintaining the original spine angle and head position. Settle the weight smoothly on the front side and start unwinding the upper body. The right elbow should be dropped down to the side.
Dooley even went to the range one day and tried the "Iron Byron" swing just for kicks so to speak. He kept hitting the ball with a high fade/slice.

Golf Swing Instruction: How to Properly Grip the Golf Club
Learn why the way you grip the club could be sabotaging every shot you attempt and an easy way make sure it doesn't happen ever again.
The only contact between you and the golf club is your grip. How you place your hands on the club can make all the difference in how your shot turns out. Therefore it is of great importance that you properly grip the club each time.
Are you confident you are properly griping the golf club? When shots are not flying as intended your golf grip should be among your first check points.
There are few components that comprise a proper golf grip. Club placement across the palm of the hand (high, mid, low), grip type (baseball, inter-locking, overlap), grip strength (strong, neutral, weak) and grip pressure are just a few.
Awhile back Dooley Duffer was spraying the ball to right more times than not. Those errant shots were starting out on line but low and then moved hard to the right. His round was in danger unless he could correct whatever was going wrong.
Dooley tried adjusting his stance, moved the ball further away at address and further forward trying to fix what was obviously an issue with an open club face at impact. His efforts met with only mixed results. He just couldn't figure out what to do next. That round went south and stayed there for him that day.
Since that day Dooley (and I) found a tremendous golf swing resource called "How to Break 80...and shoot like the pros" by Jack Moorehouse. Jack's book helped Dooley realize that he had slipped into a weak grip which was causing so much of his trouble that day.
Jack outlined a quick check method to determine that you properly grip the golf club. I have included it below.
Six Steps to a Sound Grip
Having the proper grip provides many benefits. It not only generates good swings, it also promotes consistency. And it goes a long way toward making sure that the clubface is in the right position at impact, improving ball striking. Below is a six-step approach to the correct grip, developed by Jim Flick, the well-known golf teacher. Follow his approach and you’ll grip your club correctly every time.
In a proper grip your palms should face each other. Your wrists should be able to hinge up and down with ease. And you hands should be “compatible,” so one doesn’t override the other. Also, you want to hold the club in your fingers to enhance the sensitivity for the weight and position of the club. Now follow these six steps:
1. Start by gripping the club with your left hand first, if you’re right-handed. (If you’re left-handed, grip it with the right hand.) Always put this hand on the club first because it’s your guide to sensing the alignment of the clubface.
2. Make sure the side of the grip is firmly against your fingers, with the club’s toe pointing up.
3. The club’s handle should rest just under the heel pad and runs to your index finger.
4. Now add your other hand. Make sure the grip touches the middle joints of your middle two fingers.
5. Your right hand lifeline fits over your left thumb if you’re right-handed and vice versa.
6. Hold the club at a 45-degree angle to feel wrist hinging and proper grip pressure.
Once he applied what he learned and began to correctly grip the golf club, Dooley hit the ball so much more effectively. He said, "I didn't know how much of a difference the correct grip would make in my swing". Dooley is a much better skins partner these days for sure thanks to his proper grip.
If you need sound golf swing instruction to help you perfect your golf swing and lower your handicap then I would like to point you in the direction of How to Break 80. If it helped Dooley Duffer than I am sure it can help you too!
The best thing is that all of this help is less than most lessons with a pro, a single training aide or instructional DVD. He is offering a 90-day money back guarantee, so if you don't like the book simply return it. But, once you get into his drills, I highly doubt that you'll need that guarantee.

Golf Swing Instruction: How to Keep your Golf Swing on Plane.
Want to keep your ball on line and hit more fairways and greens? Then learn this simple golf swing plane drill to consistently and easily return the club to the ball on plane every time!
Ever watch the pros golf swing on TV? Most golf broadcast these days include a feature where the analyst, usually a former tour player, will examine a player’s swing using slow-motion stop action technology. They will draw lines representing the shaft angle (swing plane) at address and then follow the swing stopping at various points to comment on the club’s position relative to the swing plane established at address. The last thing they check is the club angle at impact. Most always the pros get the club angle at impact to match the angle they began with at address. They maintained their golf swing plane.
Dooley was talking about that very subject this weekend during our round. He was asking how, short of paying more that he could afford with a golf pro somewhere, the average golfer could tell that he was returning the club correctly at impact. He said, “I mean who is analyzing a video of my swing and drawing lines to show my swing plane?”
Jack Moorehouse, author of our favorite golf swing instruction eBook “How to Break 80…and Shoot like the Pros”, offers some good advice on the subject. Dooley and I stopped back by my place after the round to review his tips on the subject.
While you will need to combine this tip with other sound golf fundamentals to achieve a better golf swing and lower your handicap this is one of four important basics to a sound repeating golf swing. If you will use the golf swing plane drill he describes below you will be pleasantly surprised how quickly you'll see improvement in your game.
Here is what Jack has offered on the subject of swing plane.

You probably have heard the term before, but you’re not sure exactly what it is or how it applies to your swing. Plane is defined by the angle your club creates when it’s ground at address. To master accuracy, the club must remain on this plane as it approaches the ball on the downswing. Actually, most golfers have two swing planes—the one formed by your takeaway and the other generated by your downswing, which is slightly flatter.
Of the two, the second is the most important. It’s the most powerful and direct route to the ball, as I’ve mentioned in my golf tips. Coming back to the ball above or below this plane short-circuits your power and causes pulls, slices, and an assortment of other types of bad shots. Ideally, you want to perfect your swing so that you’re always coming back to the ball on plane.
Plane Drill:
Place two shafts on the ground to represent the target line and two tees in the ground just outside the target line. Stick a tee in the grip end of your club before setting up. Now, address the ball and start your backswing. At the three-quarter position of your backswing, the tee in the club’s grip should point to the target line or out to the tee line. If the club’s butt points past or over the target line, the plane angle is too flat, so you need to do more work to perfect this basic. Keep working on the drill.
Dooley said he was sure glad to have that eBook available for easy reference. He said, “Maybe this eBook is better than a visit to a golf pro because I can review this anytime I need a refresher.” Now that may be the smartest thing Dooley has had to say in a long time.
Don’t continue another minute wondering if your swing is on plane or not. If you are having trouble keeping the ball on line, if you slice or hook on a regular basis, if you are missing fairways and greens then it is highly likely that your swing plane is different at impact than it was at address.
If you need sound golf swing instruction to help you perfect your golf swing and lower your handicap then I would like to point you in the direction of How to Break 80. If it helped Dooley Duffer than I am sure it can help you too!
The best thing is that all of this help is less than most lessons with a pro, a single training aide or instructional DVD. He is offering a 90-day money back guarantee, so if you don't like the book simply return it. But, once you get into his drills, I highly doubt that you'll need that guarantee.

Ever watch the pros golf swing on TV? Most golf broadcast these days include a feature where the analyst, usually a former tour player, will examine a player’s swing using slow-motion stop action technology. They will draw lines representing the shaft angle (swing plane) at address and then follow the swing stopping at various points to comment on the club’s position relative to the swing plane established at address. The last thing they check is the club angle at impact. Most always the pros get the club angle at impact to match the angle they began with at address. They maintained their golf swing plane.
Dooley was talking about that very subject this weekend during our round. He was asking how, short of paying more that he could afford with a golf pro somewhere, the average golfer could tell that he was returning the club correctly at impact. He said, “I mean who is analyzing a video of my swing and drawing lines to show my swing plane?”
Jack Moorehouse, author of our favorite golf swing instruction eBook “How to Break 80…and Shoot like the Pros”, offers some good advice on the subject. Dooley and I stopped back by my place after the round to review his tips on the subject.
While you will need to combine this tip with other sound golf fundamentals to achieve a better golf swing and lower your handicap this is one of four important basics to a sound repeating golf swing. If you will use the golf swing plane drill he describes below you will be pleasantly surprised how quickly you'll see improvement in your game.
