Solomon, sits at his computer to craft his popular newsletter and he understands
just how frustrated golfers feel out on the course. "I'm just slow
on the
keyboard," says Solomon. Solomon only has a few hours each week to practice his
typing, yet even with such minimal time commitment his typing speed and accuracy has
gradually improved. So why does the typical golfer often fail to improve their golf
game in a similar manner?
Press Release Body = Palm Coast, FL - Each week, PGA pro and golf
instructor Marc
Solomon, sits at his computer to craft his popular newsletter, Golf Improvement
Weekly. Each week Marc understands how frustrated golfers feel out on the course.
"I\'m just slow on the keyboard," says Solomon, "My typing skills improve a little
each week though, and I think my students can learn a lot about improving their golf
game if they compare it to typing."
Solomon only has time to practice his typing a few hours each week - the average
time a typical golfer has for their golf game. Even with such minimal time
commitment, Marc's typing speed and accuracy has gradually improved. So why does
the typical golfer often fail to improve their golf game in a similar manner? "Most
of the golf
instruction out there does everything but establish consistency
on the
course," says Solomon. "It would be as if I continued practicing my typing once a
week, but each time I tried a new style. One week I would hold my fingers over the
middle row of keys and bend my fingers at a 90 degree angle, then the next week move
to the top row and only bend them 75 degrees, and the next week over the bottom row,
etc. At that rate I'd get worse and never finish a Golf Improvement Weekly."
Solomon has yet to meet a typist who asked him, 'When am I going to get it? My
typing is so inconsistent - one week it\'s good and then the next two weeks it\'s bad.
My words per minute are soooo inconsistent!' The skill of typing is mastered by
learning a method, and then over time, improving your accuracy, speed and comfort on
the keyboard. Eventually, typists do not even need to look at the keyboard. Their
fingers know exactly what they have to do. When a typist makes the occasional
mstkae, they don't then rethink their entire method and start all over again. They
just keep typing and do not allow frustration over past mistakes ruin their session.
Yet time and again on golf courses around the country, the typical golfer makes a
mistake and looks at the person next to them and says, 'I just can\'t get it. Why am
I so inconsistent?' This invariably leads to a string of bad advice such as,
'straighten your arms, bring your elbows in close to your body, keep your head down,
swing in to out, shift your weight but don't sway.' Many golfers just keep
switching styles and methods, depending on the latest golf tip they read, or the
newest pro they visited. You can not increase your accuracy, speed and comfort if
you make golf a complex sport. A great golfer, like a typist, can actually swing
with their eyes closed, and it feels like a natural and practiced movement. "We
show our students at Golf Made Simple how to concentrate on their own unique style
by having them practice with their eyes closed. Often, they perform better when
they just trust their instinct."
Would Marc's typing improve if he took a 3-day intensive typing class? Yes. The
same is true for golf (and almost any other acquired skill you can think of). Until
Marc gets himself to a typing school, he reminds golfers to avoid changing their
approach, grip or stance every time they hit a bad shot.
It's Simple
The philosophy of Golf Made Simple is what you would expect - simple. Prior to Golf
Made Simple, most golfers have 13 different swings for the 13 woods and irons in
their bag, which is complicated to keep consistent. When each Golf Made Simple
student returns home to practice the skills they learned on the course, they have
one swing for those same 13 clubs. "92% of golfers who come to Golf Made Simple
looking to break 90 for the first time have been successful in reaching their goal!"
The nationally recognized PGA professional, Marc Solomon and his staff, lead four
person classes for a customized experience. Students can take 3, 5 and 7-day
classes in St. Augustine, FL, Amelia Island, FL, and San Diego, CA. Their
Instructor For Life program guarantees that each student can always contact their
instructor for free customized advice, tips, drills and exercises - for life. It's
Golf Made Simple.
