PurePoint Golf Tips Cure a Golf Slice and the Drill to Use to Fix the Golf Slice

If you have been slicing the golf ball, this tip is for you. Heres how to cure a golf slice.

The way I grip the golf club enables the club face to return square when it comes back down to the golf ball.

I dont have any challenges with slicing the golf ball. But if you've been slicing the golf ball and when you look down at your left hand and you dont see any knuckles, your club face is probably wide open at impact.

So, the next time you go tee up, give this a shot. Turn your left hand over towards your right hand. Make sure you can see one or two knuckles and make sure both palms are facing each other. This is a great way you can cure a golf slice.

With that, I guarantee you that the club face will now start to square up at the bottom.

Now Im going to tell you the most common fault with a driver. Its slicing it, thats a given.

But let me tell you the reason why I believe that so many people slice it. If you turn when you go back and you swing your arms up, in the downswing the arms have to come first.

So many amateurs open the shoulder up in the downswing. And that makes the golf club cut across it.

From the top the arms swing first, and your shoulder never opens.

So, let me teach you something that I think will help fix a golf slice.

I cannot tell you how many golf balls I have hit with my feet and knees touching each other and making normal, real golf swings. Everything else stays the same.

It is a wonderful way for you to start feeling that the arms swing away from the body. And they arent connected to it when you turn into it with the left shoulder.

The arms are free to swing past you and you dont have to worry about the body.

You can play golf that way. I shot 71 on a really good golf course ten years ago with my feet and knees touching each other the whole way around.

You will hit about 80% of your regular length this way but have 100% better contact with the golf ball and fix your golf slice.

Give that a try the next time out.

Thanks.

5 Tips For Dating

At birth, did you get a manual as to how to use that brain of yours? How to be happy, how to find and keep friends and how to find that special person, suitable for you? Have you ever learned how to date? Why is it that some people are so good at dating and others arent? What are they doing different? Is it just because they are lucky? Or did they learn how to do it well? And, if so, is it possible for you to learn how to have more success when it comes to dating? How often do you examine what you do? How often do you sit down and think about what processes you use when it comes to the subject of meeting and getting to know another person? Most of us are too busy to function in this world instead of taking the time to find out how we function and how we could function more effectively! The following tips are just a few taken from my book 'The Art of Dating'.

1. Ask powerful questions

Asking powerful questions is important in finding out about the other person. For example, you can use words such as what, where and how. These kind of words cannot lead to a simple yes or no answer. Instead they give the other person the opportunity to give a more comprehensive answer. Apart from that you may need to ask more specific questions at certain times. For example, if she says 'I'll call you soon' you may want to ask something like 'When should I expect a call'. Asking for more specific information will avoid misunderstandings!

2. Reality checks

Before you judge the other person, be aware that your beliefs and values are based on your reality, which doesn't mean your beliefs and values are right or wrong. We are all different and your date's beliefs and values may not match yours. Knowing and understanding this will make you more flexible and understanding of others, including your dates.

3. Avoid assumptions

Unfortunately, assuming is something we do a lot. So, instead of thinking 'She/he is probably doing this to blah, blah, blah...', ask! It's better to find out than to do guess work. And, if the other person doesn't seem to respond to you straight away, it doesn't mean that he or she isn't interested. Perhaps they just need to get to know you better before they demonstrate any kind of interest.

4. Build rapport

Rapport is the presence of trust, harmony and co-operation in a relationship. If you have rapport with a person you will make them feel like your ally, your partner.

You can create rapport by creating commonalitites! You can do this by matching their language, breathing, gestures, facial expression and voice.

5. Be confident

Confidence can open many doors for you. When you are confident people will have more trust in you and your abilities. Even, if you don't consider yourself to be a confident person....ACT AS IF YOU ARE!
