Perhaps it's time to return to school - golfing college that is. But before you enroll consider 4 factors in selecting your college.
Goal
The first consideration in selecting your golf school should be in response to what part of your game you wish to improve. There are a variety of golf schools that concentrate on various aspects of the game. Some schools offer instruction from big-name talent or concentrate on that part of the game where you are within 100 feet of the pin.

Playing Smart Saves Strokes
Filed under Golf Tips/InstructionMar 10Copyright © 2010 Jack Moorehouse
Even players who thrive on crushing the ball know that hitting it long isn't always the best strategy. Sometimes, they need to hang back and save that muscle for another time. We call it playing smart. Tiger Woods is a great example of a player who plays smart. He knows when take what the situation gives him. That's one reason why he's one of the world's best golfers. For weekend golfers, playing smart can save strokes and keep your golf handicap from ballooning.
But playing smart isn't always the first thing on your mind when in trouble. Many golfers try "miracle shots" to salvage the situation when in trouble. Often, it's a shot they've never hit before. Save miracle shots for when you must try one. The rest of the time, play smart. It may not seem like the best strategy, but it can save you strokes later on. In my golf lessons I emphasize three situations when playing smart works well. Below I describe these situations and provide golf tips on how to play them.

There is no doubt that the golf swing is a relatively complex mechanical action that requires a specific sequence of movements in order to create a dynamic impact position.
One of the top swing flaws is 'paralysis by analysis' which destroys the natural flow of the swing.
Many golfers make the critical mistake of trying to manipulate the golf club into certain positions on their down swing. They think because they see these positions in magazine that they need to manually replicate them.
The golf swing is meant to be a natural movement. It should be a nice fluid, free flowing movement from start to finish.
With this in mind let's commence with the 5 steps necessary to create the perfect golf swing;

New Golf Clubs or Golf School?
Filed under GeneralMar 3Do you want to improve your golf game? Are you considering spending $500 to $1,000 on new golf clubs? Of course the golf retail industry focuses on equipment. That is only natural but it is not necessarily the best way to improve your golf game. A better reality is that golf instruction,golf swing fundamentals and specific focused lessons will bring substantially better results than equipment alone.
If one wants to play better golf, you will be far better served by investing in yourself, rather than new golf clubs! The cliché says "it is the shooter making the mistake, not the gun" Believe it!

There used to be a disparity between men's professional sports and women's professional sports. The major disparity was in the cash prizes for women's professional sports. It used to be that the prize money difference was more than half of what men used to get, then what women were receiving. This rebellion against such differences was done in the field of tennis, with the ringleaders being Billie Jean King and Rosie Casals who in 1973 organized what is now the Women's Tennis Association. By getting majority of the women tennis players on board, eventually, the prize money was increased to more acceptable levels and just recently, in the last ten years or so, this disparity has slowly disappeared. Now, in the major grand slam events, equal prize money is given to the men and women's singles tournament competition. This parity now has some form of criticism as in the major grand slam tournaments like the Australian Open, The French Open, Wimbledon and the US Open, men have to play the best five set matches, while women only have to play best of three matches. While silently, there may be mutterings of the tournament format, the importance of having same cash prizes for both men and women events is that it puts a premium and prestige for all the hard work and practice hours women sports professionals undertake as well. After all, they do the same amount of work and practice, if not more as men do.

Professional golfers are not only very talented, but they play smart, strategic golf. And it is the "smart, strategic..." that separates them from the good amateurs and the average club professional. They know how to stay in the moment and avoid distractions by being very focused when it comes to hitting that golf shot.
Yes, they practice for hours so that they can repeat that golf swing over and over again consistently; and they practice virtually every shot they will face when the tournament begins but all good golfers do that. But just as important as it is to making the shots, you have to know where to place those shots to get that right angle to the pin to get those extra birdies and eagles to get into the win column.
Golf is not an easy game at any level.
