It’s finally on the bookstands! I’ll review it in my next post, but wanted to let you know that it’s out and promises to be fascinating reading. He, along with Palmer and Nicklaus, helped make golf a main stream sport.
Here’s what Gary Player says about it on his web site…
Well, he ought to know! 18 major wins, 3rd green jacket at 42 years old and completing the Career Grand Slam on the Champions Tour – his greatest professional accomplishment.
for par!
Ladies: Elena King, former professional golfer and LPGA teaching professional, has this to say to women. “The most common issue in women is a lack of power which stems from 3 fundamental flaws: posture grip and rotation in the back swing.
Tip #1:
Watch your posture. Keep your back straight and stick your butt out. Bend your knees slightly and let your arms hang down naturally to grasp the club.
Tip #2:
Grip the club in your fingers, not your palms. Straighten your left arm (for right-handed players) and place your left-hand heel pad on top of the shaft with thumb pointing straight down.
Tip #3:
Extend arms in front of your chest and rotate your upper body while maintaining proper posture. Maintain left arm extension (right-handed players) as if you were hitting a home run or buckling a baby into the middle car seat.”
Because men and women are built different-they need different approaches to the same game. Thank you to Ms. King for these basic, but important golf tips. Watching video’s of men golfing and instructing, just won’t help women golfers. We have different issues going on. Unless the golf pro has experience with women or is a women- they aren’t tuned into what women go thru to get the ball down the fairway.
Like tips from a pro can improve your physical game, tips from an EFT practitioner can improve your mental game. What’s keeping you from taking strokes off your score?
Well it’s not very often you have to call a golf clinic in mid-may due to snow. But that’s what we’re doing! Boulder will have to warm up to get us on the greens!
We will still be holding one, it will still be at Flatirons Golf Course in Boulder, and probably in June. It will have all the great features that you won’t find anywhere else. Lessons on EFT, time with a PGA pro, a book especially for women golfers using EFT to take home, downloadable information and audio files from the clinic, video of your swing-before and after we work together on it, and yes-lunch!
So stay tuned and stay warm!

Ladies, are you concentrating on your long game and ignoring your short game? The secret to beating most men at golf is to improve your chipping and putting! It’s that easy.
Because most men are stronger than most women it’s very difficult to beat them on those long drives. No worries! Let them drive the 300 yards, then you can beat them at the short game. Many men who drive really far and straight, fall apart the closer their ball gets to the hole.
So ladies, work on your short golf game. Don’t bother to go to the driving range and hit buckets of balls, practice on the putting greens. Get a pro to help you fine tune your chipping and putting. Then use meridian tapping to help focus and concentrate before you go out to play.
If you find yourself frustrated at any particular shot, you can tap on that right on the golf course. Walking from one shot to your next shot is a great time to tap. You don’t have to tap all 9 points if you’ve already done that before playing. Just tap lightly on a few that are easy to get to and you’ll find that you are playing better fairly quickly.
Work on the short game

we've come a long way baby!
It’s been a long winter in Colorado and like bears out of hibernation, the golfers are hitting the courses. Also like bears some of you may be experiencing some stiffness these first few rounds of golf. If you want to hit long drives, you’ve got to be able to fully stretch the specific golf muscles (like in your core). This flexibility gives you maximum swing speed which equals longer drives.
Another important area is shoulders! The more of a full shoulder turn you can make, the more complete your backswing which equals… longer drives! If you’re over 50 this may be an area you’ll have to concentrate on more than you used to. Because tight muscles have a tendency to get tighter on your backswing. What to do?
After doing your stretching and warm up’s, find one that points out exactly where you stop when you are at the fullest part of your stretch. Then do some tapping on the 10 points. Using the negative phrases first…
Now test again and see what kind of increase you see. 20-30% is not unusual. If you haven’t moved at all-GO DRINK some water. You are probably dehydrated! This does work and I recommend it before every game. Even if your only hitting a bucket of balls- you’ll see improvement!
