AN OVER THE TOP THANKSGIVING IN SOUTH FLORIDA - GOLF INSTRUCTION YOU CAN BE GRATEFUL FOR


GOLF INSTRUCTION YOU CAN BE GRATEFUL FOR

PORT ST. LUCIE, Florida - Thanksgiving in South Florida….there’s nothing quite like it. Golf season is just beginning, dependable east winds cool us off on still-warm days and, on top of that, turkeys taste just as good here as they do in chilly New England. OK, I’ll grant you there’s no sitting around the hearth here in South Florida. Instead, we sit on beaches, enjoy freshly-caught seafood and ride around golf courses like kings and queens. OVER THE TOP GOLF is a golf swing instruction method designed to optimize your own game, from driving the ball to knocking it stiff with your wedges. Even though taking lessons or other golf instruction, OVER THE TOP GOLF included, can be a scary thought, doing it now, when everyone else is, well, sitting around the hearth, makes sense.

Most people reading my articles have a tendency to think that OVER THE TOP GOLF is a way to hit longer and straighter golf shots with an outside-in, or, over the top, golf swing. While this is very true, I’d like readers to know that this golf swing optimization method has also improved the performance of golfers who do swing “on plane.” For those who aren’t familiar with the term, it means to propel the clubhead through the ball on an inside-out swing path. Unfortunately, though, you can only swing on plane through employing mechanics that the vast majority of golfers cannot do. Golf pros will continue trying to teach this way but most of the time, as any honest pro will tell you, their students receive failing grades.

So enjoying great South Florida golf weather and being able to provide results-oriented golf instruction to people is what I’m grateful for this Thanksgiving. If you think you enjoyed golf before, just wait until you optimize your swing with the OVER THE TOP GOLF method. If hope was gone a long time ago, now there's a solution. Not a lesson – this instruction adds the missing piece to the puzzle that is your golf swing. It enables you to maximize your natural potential, not force new swing paths and other uncomfortable and impossible-to-learn techniques on you. I give thanks to everybody who gave me the opportunity to help them hit those long, straight golf shots. And it is my fondest wish on this Thanksgiving that many of you reading this will soon be thanking me - for your great new golf swing!

VERY COOL GOLF SWING INSTRUCTION FROM COOL HAND LUKE

What we have here is a failure to communicate...

Cool Hand Luke
VERY COOL GOLF SWING INSTRUCTION FROM COOL HAND LUKE

FORT PIERCE, Florida - Some of the things people have said to their golf ball after hitting bad golf shots wouldn't be suitable for this golf  swing instruction article or a golf swing instruction DVD. They were communicating all right and with fervor....however, as in most cases where failure is involved, their anger was misdirected. They were really just yelling at themselves, maybe for learning the wrong golf swing in the first place. Sometimes I'll hear my good friend Jimmy Lynch, in perfect Bay Ridge-ese, saying "you fat bastard"  after hitting a screaming hook. Now he's got the right idea. Many of us, however, would rather take it out on our equipment. We've all seen  broken golf clubs in tee side trash containers. And then there's Luke....

So what's Cool Hand Luke doing in a golf swing instruction article? It's true that communication is important if we are trying to learn something like a golf swing. You've got to try to communicate with your golf pro. But, in the end, the most important one you'll need to communicate with is yourself. How's your current golf swing working out? Want to improve? Can you?

It's not difficult for me to imagine Luke taking golf lessons. Just like he did in the movie, he would have made the lesson his own. For readers who don't play golf, you should know that a golf swing must be executed properly in order to make the golf ball go far and reasonably straight. Without some form of golf instruction to guide you I'm afraid to say that you'll quickly affirm your previous opinion that golf is a stupid game.

Golf Pro


Now Luke, this is the proper golf grip.

Luke


Well, boss. This one is a lot more comfortable.


Golf Pro

What's your grip doin' in my golf lesson?

Luke

Now - calling it your grip don't make it right, Boss.


Later on there would also be issues with the takeaway, swing path, position at the top of the backswing,  the downswing, position at impact, the follow through and the importance of the correct usage of every one of  his body parts from extremity to extremity. And let's not forget about balance and timing.....

Golf Pro

Any man forgets my grip spends a night in the box. These here lessons you keep with you. Any man forgets his lesson spends a night in the box. Any student talking back spends a night in the box. You got questions, you come to me. I'm the Golf Pro. I'm responsible for order here. Any man don't keep order spends a night in...


Luke

...the box.


Golf Pro 

I hope you ain't going to be a hard case.


Luke

[Smiles, shakes head] .


That was the world of golf  swing instruction as we knew it. Until now, that is. We all know how Cool Hand Luke ended. It's for the same reasom the vast majority of us never become Luke, even for a little while.

There are many paths well-traveled that bring us to reasonably satisfactory conclusions. Not everyone will become a scratch golfer but that fact doesn't upset people as much as you'd think. Probably because all of these paths only provide finite results, there's very little potential for unlimited achievement.

Golf Pro

Sorry, Luke. I'm just doing my job. You gotta appreciate that. I don't like it any more than you.

Luke

Wish you'd stop bein' so good to me, boss.

Golf Pro

What we got here is... failure to communicate.


Luke

Yeah. I guess I gotta find my own way.


It took close to forever but I eventually found my own way. A golf swing so comfortable to do, built on your own chassis, that enables you to perform better than how you're currently doing. Seem improbable? So did eating fifty hard-boiled eggs in an hour.

Luke: I can eat fifty eggs.

Dragline: Nobody can eat fifty eggs.

Society Red: You just said he could eat anything.

Dragline: Did you ever eat fifty eggs?

Luke: Nobody ever eat fifty eggs.

Prisoner: Hey, Babalugats. We got a bet here.

Dragline: My boy says he can eat fifty eggs, he can eat fifty eggs.

Loudmouth Steve: Yeah, but in how long?

Luke: A hour.

Society Red: Well, I believe I'll take part of that wager.

Dragline: Why you got to go and say fifty eggs for? Why not thirty-five or thirty-nine?

Luke: I thought it was a nice round number.

I hope you've enjoyed some memorable quotes that never were in the movie but might have been if it was filmed at a golf course instead of a prison work farm. I also hope that you'll read more of my OVER THE TOP GOLF swing instruction articles, both past and future. Feel free to order my DVD.  Then go out there and shoot a 70!

Also a nice round number.

OPINIONS ON A GOLF SWING - A NEW AND DIFFERENT TYPE OF GOLF INSTRUCTION



A NEW AND DIFFERENT TYPE OF GOLF INSTRUCTION 

 One Man's Opinion

Their site is about golf instruction, golf lessons and golf swing optimization. The articles at OVER THE TOP GOLF range from technical to whimsical. Great information for junior golfers, women golfers and senior golfers as well as single-digit handicap golfers who need a change. I fixed my biggest problem - an over the top golf swing - by optimizing it. First, I had to accept the facts that my outside-in swing was an incurable condition and I'll never learn to swing like a golf pro. Like their web site said, I have 100% more confidence standing over the ball now and it was an easy to learn lesson. I think it's the best golf swing. I also like how it looks so different.

Another Man's Opinion

As far as golf instruction, golf lessons or what have you, this OVER THE TOP GOLF optimization method is by far the easiest to learn and most effective teaching that I've found. Up until now I have managed to screw up everything golf pros have tried to teach me over the years. I literally walked right through this course and aced it on the first try. Highly recommend this.

A Third Man's Opinion

10-31-2011 O.K., I GOT YOUR DVD THIS WEEK AND WATCHED IT THREE TIMES BEFORE TAKING IT TO THE COURSE. OF COURSE I DID NOT EXPECT TO CONQUER THE CHANGES IN ONE SESSION. HOWEVER, I SEEMED TO HAVE A LOT OF TROUBLE WITH THE DRIVER. WHEN I STEP THRU THE SHOT, SHOULD I BE STEPPING TOWARD THE ACTUAL TARGET, OR TOWARD THE TARGET TO THE RIGHT OF MY TARGET. HAD A LOTTA TROUBLE WITH HIGH PUSH WITH THE DRIVER. ANY SUGGESTIONS? MAURICE

11-02-2011 FRANKIE, THANK YOU FOR THE PROMPT REPLY. YES, I DID BETTER WITH THE IRONS. IT TAKES NERVE TO AIM AT THE WATER OR OB ON THE SET UP, HOWEVER I AM DETERMINED TO KEEP WITH IT! MAURICE

11-07-2011 FRANKIE, THANKS FOR YOUR FOLLOW UP.  YES, I AM STICKING WITH YOUR INSTRUCTIONS.  HAVING TWO PROBLEMS IN PARTICULAR, AND I HOPE YOU CAN HELP ME.   I AM 76 BUT IN BETTER THAN AVERAGE CONDITION FOR MY AGE, BUT STILL 76!  FIRST, MY DRIVER IS STILL THE BIG PROBLEM.  TENDS TO  FEEL AS IF I HAVE HIT IT OFF CENTER, WITH NOT A LOT OF DISTANCE.  SECOND, MY SHOTS TEND TO BE QUITE LOW.  GOOD FOR DISTANCE, BUT TOUGH WHEN I NEED TO CARRY A HAZARD.  THANKS, MAURICE

Like many things in life, each person is affected differently by what they have learned. OVER THE TOP GOLF is instruction that is built on top of your own foundation. So if you swing too quick, you'll continue to swing too quick. The difference is that your golf ball will now go straight. Or straighter. Hang in there, Maurice.
new, different and easy to learn
