Your Golf Game In 2009

So 2009 is going to be the year you finally commit more time to your golf game. This is the year that you're going to commit more time to your golf game. 2008 was a rough year for a lot of people and as you look back at it – you wonder: "Why didn't I spend more time working on my golf game at home before the golf season started?"

As it does every year around October or November - golf season came to a close, cooler temperatures started showing up on the thermometer, the winds started to whip with a little too much bite and/or some of the white stuff started to fall from the sky. And as you think back to golf, or see golf on television this weekend (in sunny Hawaii) – you start to think "I really need to spend more time on my golf game and play better this year."

Practice Golf Inside – Improve Indoors – You Can Do It!

As it has almost become commonplace in Golf Improvement Weekly – we encourage you to start your golf season practice in the fall/winter. You should be practicing in your living room, office, basement or whatever area you have a little space to swing a golf club, stroke a few putts or get on the ground to do a push-up.

Simple Stuff – Leads To Great Gains On The Golf Course

Since the November 18th, 2008 issue of Golf Improvement Weekly we started talking about what you could start doing for winter practice. Now November 18th might not sound that long ago, but with all the hoopla of: the economy, the post-election, Thanksgiving, the economy, Bernie Madoff, Christmas, the economy, the New Year and everything else you might have on a personal basis – it's been almost 2 months (49 days for those that are counting, tomorrow it'll be 51 and the next day 52) since we started encouraging you to practice this winter.

And if you think those 49 days went fast – these next 49 days might even be more of a blur. 49 days from now, it'll be the end of February and golf will be right around the corner.

So is 2009 going to be your year to play your best golf? Well, its 2009 right now – if you want to play well this year, you need to start doing Winter Drills so you'll be ready for Summer Golf. The 2009 Golf Season doesn't start in April or May – it starts today! What are you waiting for – November 18th, 2009?

Since our November 18th, 2008 issue – which allowed you to email us for a great Indoor Putting Drill that'll surely help your putting – we have followed that up with giving you an email address to receive a 12 minute clip of the GMS DVD (How To Improve Your Golf Swing Indoors), that included 2 Swing Drills and 3 exercises, plus the opportunity to stare at me for 12 minutes. And it's pretty incredible how many Golfers have sent us emails for both. Which brings me to two questions: One – if you haven't sent us an email for either one: "What are you thinking?" and Two – If you have received the 2 Drills: have you tried these drills more than once or was it "one and done?"

So, for the Golfers that have received the Drills – if you're not continuing with them, start doing them again. For the Golfers that are new to Golf Improvement Weekly (we get 100's of new subscribers each week), below my signature I have listed the email addresses to send for the two above mentioned Winter Practice Drills.

Though, if you're one of the Golfers that has been practicing the Indoor Putting Drill and want another one – this week we're listing a new Indoor Putting Drill for you. I say new, but we actually offered this drill for all GMS Alumni in the GMS Alumni Bulletin back on November 6th, 2008. So if you're not a GMS Alumni – it's new for you. If you are a GMS Alumni that has used the GMS Tour Putting Square – start doing it again!

We offer these Drills because putting practice can be the most boring and tedious practice known to mankind. So I'm going to help you perk it up a little bit so that you can get excited about putting practice. The GMS Tour Putting Square maybe the best putting drill in the world. And it's so easy for you to set-up inside your dwelling. All you need is your putter, another golf club, 3 golf balls, 4 nickels and a quarter.

All I can say about the GMS Tour Putting Square is that it is challenging putting practice that will have your competitive juices flowing – while at the same time improving your putting - thus improving your score on the golf course.

Because we only have limited space in this issue of Golf Improvement Weekly, we'll send you an email on how to use the GMS Tour Putting Square inside your home to improve your scores. Just send us an email at GMSTourPuttingSquare@GolfMadeSimple.com with the subject: GMS Tour Putting Square and you should instantly receive the GMS Tour Putting Square. Though, if you do have a powerful spam blocker – you might want to put GolfMadeSimple.com on your safe list (we have had some emails sent to the spam folder).

Go ahead, be a Player!

"I Shot 38!"
(On A Golf Course I Normally Score 42 to 46)

Marc,

Today was beautiful with 58 degrees and full sun.  I went and played 9 holes and I am proud to say I shot my all time low score for nine holes.  Shot a 38.  NO three putts!!  The main thing I was happy with was that my drives were pretty straight (no big fade) which added at least 25 yards to the length of the drives.  Also, my short game around the green was very good.  I normally shoot from 42 to 46.

Thanks again for so many of the GMS philosophies.

Hope you and your family had a great Christmas.
