When Looking for Consistency Stop Chasing Mechanics, Become the Golfer You Know You Should Be.
“The Swing is in The Mind”
Thanks for stopping by. You are about to begin a truly inspiring journey, a journey to better golf! “GOLF YOUR WAY”!
The mission of Live Golf Lessons is to present to the world a golf program that will allow you to become a better golfer; better than you ever thought you could be.
I have created a program that will allow you to get as good as you want, swinging the way you already do and swinging the way you want. “The Golf Swing Rx” program will structure a personalized program around you, adjusting “The Golf Swing Rx” program to you and your lifestyle, so you can become better . . . “faster,” and to play better golf longer while knowing you will become better every time you hit a shot. Now how fast depends solely on how creative you allow your mind to become in your personalized program; whether it’s while you practice, when your playing, or in how you develop your creative mind.
The first challenge is to abandon traditional golf instruction techniques and believe you will become better. You can become as good as you allow your creative mind to let you become. During this journey in “The Golf Swing Rx” program, you will not become a great golfer immediately but you will become aware of the changes that are taking place in your golfing life, learn how your swing works, what your shots are telling you and how to control your swing rather than your swing controlling you.
“Quality” not Quantity is the “Rx” philosophy in all strategies in our “Rx” Program. Let’s talk practice for example. We will not practice aimlessly for hours upon hours but structure your practice program so that whatever amount of time you can find to dedicate to your game will be more efficient and productive. I will structure a schedule and routine for you and the amount of time you find suitable. Each time you practice you will be developing your swing and mind . . . not frustration and anguish.
I thank you again for taking the time to explore the site and welcome you to Live Golf Lessons.com and “The Golf Swing Rx” Program.
I am working daily to present to you the golf world online, your one-stop site for everything golf. If you have any questions, comments, or topics you would like to discuss, leave a comment or send an email to Golfinglifellc@gmail.com

Hey, I’ve been reading your blog a lot, and I’m leaving my first comment. I don’t have much to say besides I enjoy reading all of your posts and have bookmarked your site 🙂
Cadence,

Keep coming back! Do you golf?
I want to purchase my first set of golf clubs. I have not been golfing too many times but I am pretty athletic and a quick learner. I am not trying to be a pro but would like to have fun. I usually spend a little more than average on my sporting equipment because usually you can get better quality and if nothing else at least it makes you more confident. I want to spend around $1000.00 on clubs and I am wondering what else I should buy shoes, bag, glove, etc. I would also like to know the basics when it comes to club selection, offset, shaft length, stiffness, etc. Someone who could summerize for me would be great!!!

Take the time to get fit for golf clubs, whether you buy new or used, you can get information on grip size, length of the clubs and lie angles from the fitting, which will help to develop your swing properly. You can buy from any manufacturer us those specs. If you want new clubs, Ping is the best route to take. You can get a partial set, for example, the 4, 6, 8, pw and sw now, then fill in the set with the exact clubs, when you get better. Start with those irons then get a 3 wood and a hybrid, with the loft of about 20 degrees. Grab a bag, shoes and a putter that you like, there are many different putters out there, so fiddle with styles until you find something you like.
If you are in good shape, than I recommend steel shafts. The best way to find flex is to learn what your club head speed is, this can be done at any Golfsmith store or sporting goods store with golf equipment. A general rule of thumb; for woods, a swing speed, of +/- 95 mph, would need a regular shaft; above that, get a stiff flex. As for the irons, if you hit a 7 iron from 150 yards, you need a regular flex. If you use an 8 iron from that distance the flex may fall in either stiff or regular, depending on your swing mechanics and swing speed.
Used clubs are fine, but if not fit can cause a problem down the road as your swing develops. It is like buying a pair of shoes that are not the right size … you’ll be able to walk in them, with some adjustments to your stride, but will probably encounter some blisters along the way, changing the way you walk and causing injuries.
Ping clubs are really good right now, from the drivers to the wedges, while putters are of personal preference. With a partial set you can stay around $1,000.00 and fill in the missing clubs as you get better. They will be cheaper than they are right now. Offset versus non-offset depends on your ball flight. If you slice the ball then an offset club will help, but if you hook the ball they will not help. I suggest that you do get perimeter weighted clubs. There is no need for 3 irons anymore with the advent of hybrids.
Thanks for the question. Hope this helps. Let us know if we can help further.

I have a big tournament coming up, and I,m nervous. This is the first competitive tournament I’ll be playing in outside of my club, and that isn’t for charity…
Hi claredeer45,
I understand the emotions and the nervousness associated with tournament golf. A warning to you… you are going to be especially nervous on the first tee but even more nervous on the first green. Don’t worry- everybody is nervous to some extent at some point in the tournament. All you can do is focus and believe in your pre-shot routine. Your routine is what is going to get you through the first shot, the second shot and the first putt. If you have time practice that routine on the range between now and then instead of worrying about hitting the ball perfect. Routine-Routine-Routine. Practice your full shot and putting routines as much as you can and stick to them in the tournament, then enjoy your first tournament – the excitement and take it all in.
Good Luck and tell us about the experience.
