You Don't Need Golf Lessons

That's right. You don't need to take golf lessons from a pro to lower your handicap. I mean it. You can improve all aspects of your golf game at home on your own.

What you need is a good blueprint that guides you through the process of improving your golf swing for both the tee shots and iron play, short game, putting and even course management.

You can read and follow a step by step guide can't you?

I did. I couldn't no more afford to take lessons from a pro than I could get a membership to Augusta National. I mean at $75 to $100+ per half hour lesson, I would need a rich uncle to afford that. Don't know if I would be comfortable working with a pro anyway.

So when a friend introduced me to this golf ebook for about half of what a single lesson cost, well I just had to try.

I was struggling to break 100 at the time. Suffered from a severe slice and was embarrassed to play with anyone other than my golf buddies who already knew what they were getting into.

But since I made the decision to buy "How to Break 80 and Shoot Like the Pros" by Jack Moorehouse, I have made steady progress in reducing my handicap.

Yes it is true. I have gone from a 30+ (30 is the highest that you can get) to a 16 right now. And I'm not done yet. I am getting better and better. That ebook has made all the difference.

Now I'm not only not embarrassed to play with strangers, I welcome it. You see, I don't want to brag here but I am usually a better player than most of the strangers I have played with lately.

How cool is that?!

Do you want to teach yourself how to play better golf and lower your handicap? You would do very well to consider Jack's book: How to Break 80 and Shoot Like the Pros.

Better Golf Swing: Don't Swing So Hard

Here is a quick tip to help you play better golf, lower your handicap and just have a lot more fun on the golf course.

Don't Swing So Hard!

Shorten the backswing and slow down the swing speed. Even if you think you are only swinging at about 80% of max, if you are not hitting the ball on line then I contend that you're swinging faster than you are able to time properly.

Just try shortening and slowing the swing and see what happens.

I did and found that I hit the ball straighter with all my clubs and usually just a far.

Focus on being fast through the ball. That is only right at the bottom of your swing, not from the top.

You'll see great results too!

Golf Swing Plane Drill

One thing I like to do to check up on my swing plane is called the "Hanger Drill".

I take an ordinary clothes hanger from the closet and place it along side the golf grip. I place the bottom part of the hangar on the side of the grip facing the target with the hook part pointing up. The hanger will extend well beyond the end of the shaft up along the inside of your forward arm.

Then I make practice swings checking to see if the hangar leaves its proper position established at address.

Here is how Michael Breeze explains it:
