"Improve your golf mental toughness 10-fold"

Every golfer has heard the saying "It's all in your head" or "Golf is 90% mental" or "Golf is the most mentally demanding sport in the world." Yet what do golfers do about it? Well, most often absolutley nothing! Not necessarily because they don't want to, but sometimes golfers actually think the mental game doesn't matter to them!

Click Here to Unlock Your Mind and Shoot Better Golf

EVERY golfer can benefit from increasing their mental toughness and harnessing the full power of thier mind!

Many golfers naively get stuck into thinking that the mental game only matters for elite players or pros who make a living golfing. Nonsense! EVERY golfer needs to use their mind properly.

• It is your mind that determines how well you learn when taking lessons. (and this training course is packed with accelerated learning techniques that will have you absorbing more from lessons)

• It is your mind that will allow you to set up to the ball correctly and commit to your swing (or not!).

• It is your mind that will either stay focused under pressure and get you to make a smooth, fluid stroke when you need to drain an 8 footer for the win, or have you choking like a dog and collapsing like a house of cards when the heat is on!

"When you have a chance to shoot the lowest score of your life you won't choke - You Will Go Low!"

Benny N. DeJetts has hit his tee ball into a wooded area that boarders the Kimchi National Forest. He finds his ball and sees he has a narrow opening between two trees that would allow him to reach the green if he can pull it off. He hoods his 5-iron and takes a mighty swipe at the ball. Unfortunately, Benny was a little off line.

His ball strikes one of the trees and ricochets back behind him about thirty yards. Now he is deep in the Kimchi and after finding the ball realizes it is essentially unplayable. He informs a fellow competitor he intends to proceed under R28, Ball Unplayable, and he returns to where his tee ball came to rest and drops the ball. His fellow competitor tells Benny he cannot declare the ball unplayable then drop it closer to the hole.

What do you think? Select all that are correct.

A. The fellow competitor is correct. The point at which Benny drops the ball must not be closer to the hole that the spot where he declared it unplayable.

B. The fellow competitor is correct. Benny must either drop within two club-lengths or keep the spot of the ball between him and the hole, retreating behind the spot of the ball as far as he wants for the drop.

C. The fellow competitor is not correct. Besides the two options from above, Benny may either return to the spot of his previous stroke or may return to the tee under an additional penalty of stroke and distance.

D. The fellow competitor is not correct. Even though he would be closer to the hole, Benny may always drop a ball at the spot of his previous stroke.

Answer:

Only answer D is correct.

The first option, “a” under R28 permits the player to play a ball under stroke and distance at the spot from which the original ball was last played.

Answer C is incorrect because there is no going back to the tee under any circumstances.

Remember, when proceeding under Rule 28 the player may clean the ball when lifted and may substitute a ball if he chooses.

===============================================

Tour Weather Guidelines:

Primarily, we adhere to the same guidelines that the PGA Tour uses: If the course is open, we're going to play.

The only exception to this is that I'll never put any of you in harm's way during an event because of dangerous weather. (i.e. - lightening or severe cold and wetness).

In other words, I won't let the course "bully" us into playing where an unsafe condition might exist.

Because I arrive at every event at least two hours prior to the start time and I generally have to leave my house at least an hour before that to get to the course, there is no sense calling me just before the event, because I won't be at the office. The best avenue to take is to call the course if the weather seems threatening.

If you are on the roster for the event, and you do not get a cancellation notice from the course after calling them, you are expected to show up in time for the scheduled shotgun start.
