What was the inspiration behind writing this book?
I
did not grow up playing golf. I started playing in my twenties. One
day, I had a vision that I would be a pro golfer. After that moment, I
had to make sure that other responsibilities were taken care of in my
life. Once they were, I moved out to Arizona from New York City to play
golf everyday and two years later I was playing professionally.
Much
like that day that I had a vision to play professionally, I had a
vision to publish the book and inform golfers of how to practice the
right way so that when they play, they do play better. Equally
important, I show them how to play, creating a routine and making each
shot a resource for better future moments on the golf course.
The
book is full of messages and can also be used as a metaphor for
everyday life because the techniques can be applied to anything in life
so that you make life as wonderful as you think it is.
For
instance, the more you see your self playing well and sense what that
feels like, the more you will play at the level you think you can.
Who is the intended audience of the book?
What sets this apart from other golf instruction books?
Play
Golf Better Faster is written and designed in a way so that you improve
while reading it. This way, your brain/mind absorbs the information
easily. It takes the hard grind out of golf. You will dramatically
improve your game even more when you actually do what is instructed. And
the techniques can be done anywhere such as the supermarket line or
waiting for kids in the car, not just the golf course. The industry is
designed to confuse you with all the vast amounts of information it
offers. Play Golf Better Faster teaches you routines for play and
practice so that you have a template that allows new information to be
programmed into with all the different conditions of every shot on the
golf course. This way you have comfort in learning so that you play golf
better. Play Golf Better Faster teaches you how to spend less time on
golf equipment and more time on your game. I guarantee your improvement
and I will personally give you your money back if not.
The
NLP techniques in Play Golf Better Faster are inspired by Dr. Richard
Bandler. NLP is a technology of thought that is utilized by Oprah,
Fortune 500 companies, Homeland Security., politicians and NLP
Practitioners & Trainers who create change in people’s live so that
they are always moving toward greater excellence. The purpose of this
book is to make the golfer learn how to make a greater life for
themselves on and off the course so that they are always moving in the
right direction to have more of what they want in life. Consequently,
playing golf better.
What are some key tips you can give to beginners?
BALANCE:
Learn how to maintain balance in all moments of your life. By doing so,
it will be easy to maintain balance in your game. Focus on moving from
your center and focus your feet are on the ground. Everything in this
world has a center of mass. Your center is just below your belly button.
This physical awareness of moving from your center and focusing on your
feet will give you greater ability to be balanced throughout your swing
and other movements in golf. Too often, without balance throughout your
movement, the swing will go off its plane missing the sweet spot. The
sweet spot is the contact between the center of the club face to the
center of the ball that always feels and sounds so sweet.
ROUTINE:
Routine gives you freedom. Shakespeare wrote all of his sonnets in the
same structure yet each work is as individual and full of genius as your
golf routine can create. Create a full routine for your self that
includes what you do before the shot, during the shot and after the
shot. This way, you will have created a comfort zone that allows you to
feel confident in the many different situations you will have on the
golf course.
HOLDING
THE CLUB: Hold the club in such a way that you are one unit with the
club. There are three most common ways to hold the club. You can find
illustrations of them in my book. Pick the one that feels most
comfortable to you. Remember, this is your game so find what makes you
work best at what you do.
