Golf equipment doesn't work? Did that catch your attention? I hope so. Now keep reading.
Just the other day I was watching the Golf Channel and they were talking yet again about the latest and greatest drives and irons. This golf equipment (new technology) that has gotten totally out of hand, is making these companies a ton of money.
Why?
Because they prey on vulnerable, frustrated golfers looking to play better through golf equipment.
Here's my beef!
It's not working! I don't care what these companies say...I see golfers everyday, buying new golf equipment and STILL not playing any better. It's a known fact that the average golf handicap has not gone down in over 20 years!
It's NOT the equipment that's going to improve your game...it's YOU!
You swing that club. You show up to the range or course. It all depends on your current physical condition how well you will swing...and especially for 18 holes.
Is that registering with you yet?
How many new clubs have you bought lately? Did it allow you to play better...consistently? Be honest. Don't let your pride answer that question. Just state the facts. Are your scores lower? Do you swing with better consistency?
These are questions to constantly ask yourself to make sure you are seeing progress. If you're not...then save your money and get working on YOU!
It's always fun to see the new golf equipment that's coming out...but your game is dependant on your physical capabilities, not compensations with golf equipment.

Golf Swing Tips- Getting the proper grip will improve your Game
By: Jeffrey Lumpkin | 05/01/2010Many amateur golfers seek to attain improvement in the game. Because they are unable to consistently hit the ball accurately, one problem has to do with hand placement on the golf club - the grip.
