Improve Your Golf By Watching John Daly
Can you improve your golf game by watching John Daly? Yes, you absolutely can. You just have to know what to look for.
As much fun as it used to be to watch John Daly hit a golf ball – it’s sad to see him now. It doesn’t look as if he’s having a fun time on the golf course – well, I guess the same can be said of most Golfers that are struggling. If you only were able to see Daly during his prime on television when he – ‘Gripped it and Ripped it’, you missed something special because there was nothing like seeing him live and standing next to him as he hit a golf ball. It was incredible!
Nobody in the history of the game – well, at least for as long as I’ve been around – has captured the imagination of Golfers as Daly did in the early to mid 90’s. He didn’t win many tournaments – though nobody has won a more memorable Major Championship (in my opinion) than John Daly at the 1991 PGA Championship at Crooked Stick.
Come on – he was like the 14th alternate on the list! The chances of him getting into that tournament were the equivalent of the Arizona Cardinals winning the Super Bowl.
Yet, he’s now golf’s version of Brittany Spears – and is nowhere near either his 1991 PGA Championship or his uber-dramatic win in the 1995 British Open Championship. And maybe 12 ½ years is a long time ago - but boy could that guy hit the golf ball and make golf an exciting game to watch.
But, getting back to your golf game -
Compare the progress (or lack of progress) of John Daly’s golf game to the way your golf game has been going the last few years. Have you been on the John Daly training program where your game has gotten worse (or stayed the same) over this time as others around you are passing you by? Or have you been on the Tiger Woods training program where your game has improved each year and you’re doing the passing?
Two of Golf’s most famous Golfers – one struggling more and more each year; one dominating more and more each year. Who would you want to be at this point?
Do you prepare for the golf course like Tiger or do you prepare like Daly?
If it’s Monday and you know that you’re going to be playing golf on Saturday – what do you do to prepare? Are you like John Daly or are you like Tiger? How much more do you think Tiger prepares for a round of golf versus how much John Daly does?
Now, I know you’re not a Professional Golfer – your income isn’t based on how well you play golf. So you don’t have to prepare as extensively as Tiger does, but if you want to play well on the golf course – you should do a little more than Daly does!
Seriously – if you did some push-ups on Monday, sit-ups on Tuesday, 10 minutes of swing drills (without a ball) on Wednesday, push-ups on Thursday and 5 minutes of swing drills and some sit-ups on Friday – would you be more prepared to play golf on Saturday than if you hung out at Hooters and drank beer each night.
Please know this isn’t an attack on John Daly. I like John Daly. I’ve met him and know people that know him and he’s a great guy. This is more about how someone’s not living up to their potential to play better golf. And although, you might not be parking your RV at Hooters – are you preparing well enough to play your best golf?
Most Golfers that play on Saturday at 9:07 AM – prepare for their round on Saturday morning at 8:37 AM when they get their bucket of balls to bring to the driving range. Yet, Tiger is preparing for his next round everyday.
Are you preparing for your next round yet? Or are you saying – “Well no. It’s winter where I live and I won’t be playing golf for a few more months.”
If that’s you – you’re in luck because you couldn’t be in a more perfect situation - you have about 90 days of push-ups, sit-ups and swing drills to prepare for that first round.
The Monkey prepares to play the morning of their round.
The Player is preparing everyday.
Go ahead, start preparing today and be a Player!
Regards,

“I Improved From 105 to 95 and Now 85!”
Wat,
I am enjoying the game so much more since I attended Golf Made Simple. Just the improvement of striking the ball more consistently has helped me enjoy going out on the golf course and has given me the confidence to play with any level of golfer without being intimidated.
If you remember when I came down the first time in ’06, I was scoring 105 to 110. After class I improved into the mid to low 90’s. Now after my ’07 class I have shot my best round of 85 and I’m consistently below 90 in the high 80’s.
I just wanted to let you know how much more I enjoy the game thanks for your wonderful school.

“I Agree With Marc”
Marc and Alex,
I really agree with Marc’s comment's about GolfTec. After spending about $700 with them, I bailed after about 4 weeks of that nonsense. I mean, I really tried. The instructor (plus the whole “hit it into the net” approach), left me unable to hit a ball for a couple of months thereafter. The worst money I ever spent on my game. I only began to recover after forcing myself to forget everything I heard there.
I’m looking forward to seeing Golf Made Simple at Heron Bay Golf Club in three weeks.
David xxxxxx
PS: Back to GolfTec: I should have known they’d be bad for me, because I played once (months before) with a guy who worshiped GolfTec, and he could not hit a thing. I was shooting 115-120 at that point, and he was even worse.

It Maybe Cold Outside,
But The GMS DVD Is Hot
The Buzz this week is the Golf Made Simple DVD – ‘How To Improve Your Golf Swing Indoors’. It’s hot! The reviews and Testimonials have been outstanding! With DVD’s already shipped all across the US, Canada and Mexico, along with Australia, Malaysia, Japan, England, Ireland, Senegal, Italy, Slovakia and a little island somewhere in the South Pacific – our DVD is being watched around the world.
Here’s just one email we’ve received:
To Marc and Alex,
I just bought your Video “How To Improve Your Golf Swing Indoors”.
By far this is the best improvement, drills and exercise DVD that I have bought. I started doing the drills and exercises right after the holidays (had to get in all the good meals before I started) and I have already seen tremendous results.
I had a bad habit of pulling, topping and not getting any distance or accuracy on my hits. After doing your drills and exercises for only two and half weeks, I’m hitting all my shots straighter, and farther. My accuracy has improved 100%.
Thank you for putting out an exercise program that works and drills that show immediate results. I hope to get to one of your schools some time this year.
Again thank you for putting out this outstanding DVD. I’m excited about my progress and looking forward to a reduced handicap and lower scores.
Best regards and here’s to lower scores.

“Inconsistently Consistent Golf”
In last week’s Sony Open in Hawaii – Jerry Kelly played 4 consistent rounds of golf by scoring 67, 67, 69, 67. Yet, as consistent as his scores were – his stats were just as equally inconsistent.
In his 1st round 67, he hit 71% of the fairways. In his 4th round 67, he hit only 43% of the fairways. In the 1st round, 31 putts. In the 4th round, 25 putts. In the 1st round, he hit 83% of the greens in regulation. In the 4th round, he hit only 56% of the greens in regulation.
Though, as inconsistent as he hit and putted the golf ball from day to day – his scores were identical. What does this tell you? It says to me that just because your Driver might not be working one day, it’s not the end of the world and the same goes with your putter. Just don’t let them both go bad on the same day!

“Whenever I come across a Golfer that has been videotaped, I always ask them the same question - How did you like getting your swing videotaped? And they almost always answer - “It was helpful” - And then I ask - Have your scores improved since you got videotaped? - And they almost always answer - “No, but I know what I’m doing wrong.”
Great - you know what you’re doing wrong, but you haven’t improved your scores – yet you feel ‘it was helpful’. Unfortunately, the only way any Golf Instruction should be classified as being helpful is if your scores have improved. If your scores haven’t improved – then it should be classified as ‘being a waste of time and money!’
The funny thing about the answer - “It was helpful” to my first question about if you liked getting videotaped is I don’t believe these Golfers - I believe they’re just saying this because they think it was supposed to help them and they don‘t want to be scrutinized for saying it didn‘t help. It’s like the Emperor Has No Clothes Syndrome - nobody wants to say that they didn’t get anything positive out of video for fear of being thrown in jail or thought of as being a Golfer that can’t be helped.”
