Thx - going to try this this afternoon. Having a pro lesson there migth be (surely) some other input. we'll see.

Was at the Range yesterday and figured out, that the "V" of my right hand was pointing at my left shoulder (I'm right-handed). Indeed it is surely one of the problems causing the loss of distance (now, i gained 20-30 yards rotating the V to point at my right shoulder). What happend? I tried to explain myself why the grip caused the loss. - First, the backswing is surely not in plane (but this is not a big loss for my understandings, sure it is, but not that much) - Secondly - and this is what I want to ask you guys? - doing the release doesnt close the club completely, so I cut the ball (not sure that this term is correct). Doing so, the loft is much greater and the ball goes much higher loosing distance. Could this be?

Hei I'm struck. Had a occasionally fade/slice playing my irons and decided to go to the pro to fix that. Changed my swingplane to inside-out, swingthougt : hit a hook, improved the release to curve the ball in, aiming right to the target. Good. For a few days. Now I got the biggest down since ever.... my shots lost about 45yards per iron. this means: i got about 120 yards for my P-Wedge, now I'm back to 70-80.... feeling like a noob. Driver and woods are straight and absolute no distance lost. Did someone of you had the same experience and what is your fixing tip? It lasts for 3 Weeks now. Greetz!

Hei again, some good points&hints.; thx for the moment. I would love to know, if someone tried to put a bag in a A5/S5/RS5 coupé (not sportsback... don't like it, and no cabrio (still not living in florida)). Thx.

Thx for your answer Jerry.

thx. I had a look, but I don't like the form. Maybe i should ask otherround: What kind of experience do you have with those cars, do they have enough space for the bags without pushing the seats? - Porsche Cayenne - BMW x5 - Audi Q5 - Audi s5/rs5 - Volvo XC60 - Volvo XC90 Please only answer if you tried those in this exact situation. Thx C.

it looks nice, thx. this kind of car is not really sold here in switzerland (for the moment only 1 in the occasion-pool), and the support is kind of poor... other tips?

Hei there one question: do you guys out there have any tips for a car which fits golfers needs best? this means, enough place to put at least 2 bags in the back without pushing the seats down, at least 240 hp and which also have a good look? was thinking about a cayenne turbo s, but this monster drinks more than english supporters.... any tips R welcome, thx C.

I downloaded the app "Tour Tempo, Total Game" and tried it out yesterday. It is definitely worth trying it and the results - for 2 hours practice - is good, it gives me a good feel and could bring my game to a next stade. The biggest win with this method is - for my point of view - that you learn to swing all clubs/woods with the same swing speed. Thanks to all of you for your tipps. Gonna stick to the Tour Tempo for some time. Greetz C.

Thx! Actually I live near to bern. I went to Yverdon / Chamblon for my Military-Service. I do know the GC Payerne and the GC Vuissens, both of them are nice places. Have a nice day.

I tried yesterday, to find a melody for my pre-shot-routine. One step will be to swing back-and-forth until I found my swingspeed with repeating this melody in my head. It seems to work really good - it forces me to be calm and actually also helps to have exactly the same swing speed for all clubs. Does this make sense to you? Do you see any negative points with this? My Swing-melody is "My favorite things :-)" One negative aspect is, that I had this song in my head the whole evening long afterward hahaha.... try it ou and tell me

Hello everyone It's a while already that I am crowling in this Forum, a lot of helpfull threads and tips in it. Just a question of time I'd subscribe to and here I am now. Started playing Golf last september (2012) with a friend of mine, got addicted and worked on my swing the whole winter long. Played some tournaments this year and went to HC 15. Going to a pro once per month. I was reading a lot about golf this year, specially about mentel things, I am really interested with the question how to improve this side of the game. Books like "Golf is not a game of perfect", "The little red book", "My short game", some Zacharias (not a fan of it), and nowadays "Zen-Golf" are part of my Golf-collections. So I hope that sometime I'll be able to contribute with some tips too. So, engoy your day and we'll see us on the greens. If there are some swiss guys out there PM me :-) Cu, C.

I started reading "Zen-Golf" from Joseph Parent yesterday and maybe it is exactely what I need, to focus on the importent thought.... Any of you read that book? Does it help?

Hi there I'm new to this forum - I will introduce myself in the proper forum. But in short: I am 34 year old and started playing last year, in september. By now I love golf and got really addicted. There are a only a few days at which I don't play. My HC is at -14.9 for the moment. Some days I play really good (for my goals) and go to 7-10 over par. Then, on tournaments or free plays, I play like 30 over... But I know why - I try to force on my swing, maybe just a bit - so that I don't even realize it, until my friends tell me about it.... it is always the same cycle: I play smooth & calm, I score good, I then focus on something else, got it in my game and someday I start forcing again (uncounsiencly), my play starts getting worse.... and so one. Now I really want to eliminate that point and asking you how? I do write everything down in a booklet (sort of lil' red book... :-) ) and on every 5th page it stands : Cool down!!!! To tell you that I am trying every thing to do it. But I still don't do it.... I also tried to integrate it in my preshot, but it looses importance somehow with time... Maybe someone had similar problems and do have a receipt for it? (sorry for my bad english) I would really appreciate some tips, Cheers C.
