Could My Golf Game Be Saved?

6/28/2006 11:59:49 PM
I've been struggling with my golf game that last couple of years. I would start off each season shooting mid-80s (mostly due to a good game off the tee, adequate irons, so-so short game, and decent putting), but by the end of each season I would be struggling to keep a round below 100. Each of the past two years has been the same. I took lessons about five years ago that did wonders, but the guy was expensive and I was reluctant to shell out the cash to try and find a cure. I hate going to the doctor, as well.

By accident, I stumbled upon a instruction system called Perfect Impact. A bit cheesy from a name perspective, but some of the reviews I read were encouraging. I took the plunge and got the book and DVD. The book is much better than the DVD, IMHO, since the video production quality is low and George really is not that great of presenter. The book is pretty good, though it sometimes seems to get wrapped up in trying to be overly detailed and precise.

Having said all that, I have been very happy (so far) with what I have been able to do. Normally, by this time of year, I can start to see the first signs of my game coming unravelled. But not so this year. Four rounds so far and my highest was a 90 due mainly to an horrible short game that day. I still get a few things that get glitchy, but George's system covers basic faults and corrections so I have been able to diagnose and fix most of them. I still have a habit of pushing my wedge shots to the right, but George runs a Q/A forum on his web site so I am anxiously waiting on his suggestions for possible fixes or problems with my swing.

There is a money back guarantee, and despite some of the over detail in the book, George really does provide one of the simplest and easy to understand approaches to buidling a solid swing I have ever seen. I'm hoping to get down into the low 80s by the end of the season and maybe even break 80 if I finally spend some time working on my short game.

Page persistence can be the hidden performance bain of many a web page. Milan Negovan has a good post covering ASP.NET 2.0's persistence extensibility that may help avoid some problems.
