What Would Earl Woods Do With Tiger Now?

Earl Woods imageTiger’s fall from grace, as the under cover sources report, there are some wild accusations going in the Tiger Wood’s camp, claiming his injuries may have been cause by the awkward swing styles of Hank Haney.

Sources say Hank Haney’s’ swing style may have contributed to Tiger’s injuries and distancing himself from Tiger during his troubles was a last ditch effort to save his career. Be that as it may, Tiger won a lot of tournaments with Haney and in the last 2 years, Tiger has won 44% of his tournaments and finished Top 3 in 61%. So the question is, was Tiger Woods’ swinging better under Butch or Hank?

The stats do favor Butch- Tiger won 8 majors in 5 years under Butch (1997 Masters by 12 strokes, 2000 US Open by 15 strokes, and 2000 Open Championship by 8 strokes). Under Hank Haney, Tiger won only 6 majors in 6 years, but none by more than 3 strokes.

So what would Tiger’s father do to get Tiger back on the winning track? [Read More]

The Evolution Of Golf

By: Clive Wheldon - September 15th, 2010  Filed under: Golf Books 2 Comments

Golf has been loved since its creation. What started off as a leisure activity has become a game now eagerly seen worldwide and advertised on channels like ESPN. Watching as the golf club very easily swings, contacts that white small ball, has made us fall in love with this game. How did the game of golf develop? Well, there are many responses to that question. Robert Jones, Alexa Stirling, ... Digital ID: 101764. New York Public Library During the 15th century in Scotland, the parliament had stopped the playing of “gowf”. Some people say this is identical to our modern-day golf game, while others say it is not. Some people say during the 17th century that the game of golf was played in the Netherlands but this, too, is questionable. We know this as a game of 18 holes. However, studies have shown that the game originally started off somewhere with around 11 holes. But because golfers would play up through the 11 holes and back, researchers have further believed that golf started as a game of 22 holes.

The Best Golf Training To Easily Improve Your Golf Swing Fast

By: Larry Holmes - May 24th, 2010  Filed under: Golfswing Tips Add Comment

Once many golfers think about the aspect of their game they wish to improve, the vast majority think in terms of either technical elements or think about outcome. “I aspire to make much more putts.” “I aspire to hit more fairways.” “I aspire to break 90 continually.”

While not disregarding these significant considerations, players actually interested in overall enhancement of their games would do well to think about paying attention to all aspects of the game of golf. Rather than golf being divided into full swing tips, short game tips, and putting tips, the more astute players understand a different division: Mechanical, physical, mental, and tactical components.

Many look for what they understand is the Holy Grail of a significant golfswing (mechanical) or putting stroke (mechanical). This is accomplished while ignoring the benefits of golf-specific fitness training, mental training, and/or course management improvement.

Golf Course Management-Has Your Company Invested Enough Time Into Its Sales Process?

By: Bob Devitz - May 12th, 2010  Filed under: Golf Books Add Comment

We are covering a slightly different subject this post, on golf course management, the business side of things. Which is provided by well known author, CEO, and guest contributor Bob Devitz. This article gives an insight into running a successful golf resort.

One of our legendary partners recently asked me for an agenda for a sales meeting for his Resort. I put together a one page document that detailed the components necessary for an effective meeting, but as I looked it over while sitting at my desk, I felt more explanation was needed. So, I started to expand on the idea in a simple format and explain a bit about the “why” behind each item. It goes back to the old adage, “if it is getting measured, it is getting done.”
I see so many examples of sales opportunities being blown for reasons including:

1. Failure to capture leads.

2. Lack of a systemized process to follow up on leads.

3. The business does not have a detailed plan put in place to create leads.

4. A salary versus a commission based system for compensating the people selling the item or service.

5. Lack of a formal, weekly meeting to create accountability for specific sales goals, future booking goals, and new lead generation.

Think about how much time you spend each week on various activities in your club or resort. Time is spent speaking with members and guests, purchasing goods, ordering services, scheduling employees work hours, processing paperwork, and dozens of other different things. And all of these activities are necessary functions for the business.
