Golf Improvement Tips from Top Teachers -

There is lots of highly usable content in the latest issue (March 2007) of Golf Magazine. The magazine's editor called the issue "your golf guide for mind and body. It was great to see articles that complement and reinforce what we are doing through the Positive Golf Blog and our Heart of Golf Website. Here are some highlights:

- Top 100 Golf Teacher Martin Hall talks about "How to Punch Up Your Power," and emphasizes the feeling you need in your right arm to achieve maximum power.

- Top 100 Teacher Shawn Humphries offers a step-by-step "private lesson" on building a repeatable swing, with tips for relaxing, allowing, and creating maximum power.

(My new book, THE "INSIDE-OUT" GOLF SWING, A Creative Approach to Golf's Optimal Swing Motion, expands on the very same ideas promoted by these two teachers. Check it out at TheHeartofGolf.com.)

- Results were revealed from an interesting experiment done by Dr. Richard Keefe, associate professor of sports medicine at Duke University. Three golfers were "wired" to determine how golf-related stress affects the mind and body. There was lots of interesting insight into the power of our inner thoughts on our outer game. (Wait till you see the MRI photo of a golf-stressed brain!) Lots of practical mental game tips and some secrets for playing under pressure were shared as well.

Developing the inner and outer game is at the heart of what we practice and promote through The Positive Golf Blog and The Heart of Golf Website. All of our publications are like mini guides for the mind and body. It is great to see this same kind of approach coming from Golf Magazine too! Be sure to check it out...

Here's to your inner and outer game!
