So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Putt Putt Games And Other Things About Golf

By Michael S. Pearson


As mentioned before there are three key elements in any good golf game which are the hand, footwork and body action. We have discussed the importance of body action and weight shift. However the hands play a significant role not just in putting the club in its proper position but also in keeping it throughout the entirety of the swing.

Before this it was important to talk about the significance of body position because when the player establish his body for the motivating control of the swing then he's free to implement the correct positional control on top of the club using his hands.

Unfortunately, the positioning of the hands has led to the downfall of what could have many great golfers. Many of the flawed ideas which usually persist among amateur golfers serve just as a detriment.

Let's take a look at some of it:

Probably the most popular ideas is thinking that you need to hold the club tightly at the back of the left hand. The idea behind this is that it will not allow the club to move away. But in reality it's the opposite.

In other cases, golfers may attempt to exercise no wrist action on the backswing until they have achieved an above the waist position. When we check this it will really not make any sense. How would it be possible to play a short shot off the edge of the green if this were the case?

As we examined in a prior section, when you assume the correct position to make the shot you will find yourself first balanced on your left foot. While you are in this position it will be difficult to take the club to the top of the swing until you actually shift your weight to the right foot. With practice, the shifting of weight will be more a natural one-two movement. This forward press and subsequent reverse press forms the basis for all the good golf swings.

In a likewise natural manner, from the end of the reverse press your hands must now go to work. Just the like the way you will prepare it if you will throw something that it's necessary to raise the club to the top of the swing in a free, full and controlled action.

When movement begins on the right side of the body it is quite natural to contract the right arms, as we discovered in a previous section. Thus the immediate upward, pickup movement of the club take place. While the club is actually picked up using the right hand, there is simultaneously an automatic resistance on the left hand.

It counteracts the pickup action of the right hand. This combined action of the hands results in the club immediately being turned and rather cocked to the position for the shot. It is this pickup action on the part of the right hand and the concurrent downward thrust on the part of the left hand which usually creates the very powerful one-two action all correct golf shots should maintain.
