Forget about your swing. Don't even think about changing your hip rotation or your club face angle at the top of your swing. 

That crap is NOT where you're going wrong. It's much more likely, and much easier to fix the stuff you're doing wrong before you even take the club back. 

Focus on your pre-swing stuff forever...more or less...and I promise you'll improve like crazy. 

If you've only got a small window of practice time this week (hopefully more), here's what I'm suggesting you can work on.

We're going to focus heavily on distance control with your wedges. Knowing your carry yardages for each of your wedges is hugely valuable on the golf course. By the way, there might be a significant difference between your carry yardages and your total yardages (where ball eventually ends up). 

Let's try to get a solid ballpark of those carry yardages to arm you with info on the course. 

Someone asked me about my pre-shot routine...the steps I take before hitting each shot. 

Here's the answer...honestly the secret is all about self awareness. Hope it helps you with your own game. 

Bigger buying decisions follow principles known as a considered buying process. More risk means more consideration, more time, more stress in pulling the trigger. 

Quick sells don't work in considered buying situations...here's part of a recent consulting session that outlines how it goes down and what you can do to bring more business in the door. 

For those of us with limited practice time, it's really important to do our best to simulate real golf in practice. Here's my 1-hour blueprint for taking your game from the practice range to the first tee. 

Lot of value in this episode. The fact that some people choose to do business with others with common interests is fascinating to me.

It doesn't matter if you're talking about specific things your target audience is looking for, or simply covering subject matter that you're passionate about. Either way, people with shared interests often do business together. 

If you're a Boston Red Sox fan...talk about it...and other Red Sox fans will gravitate to you. 

The Facebook community has been really active lately with tons of Q&A. I've answered everyone's questions in the feed, but here's a quick recap of my findings after over 300 comments and conversations. 

Hope it helps you break your personal best. 

Cheers! 

If you're not winning the battle for attention on the front end of the buying process, you're not even hearing from a huge chunk of potential followers and customers. 

Here's a quick talk about why you need to be more open about sharing your good stuff....whether for your personal brand or for your business. 

When you're feeling good about those 3-5 footers, the whole world is a better place. 

Today's practice is all about confidence over the "shorties". Hope you can get through the challenge and win yourself a chance to pound some drivers. 

I spent about an hour working on the game this morning. 

There were a couple takeaways that I thought I'd share with you. One had to do with short game and chipping from short range. As for full swing, a focus on the "transition" of my golf swing produced some great results immediately. 

Baby steps...just a little progress at a time guys!
