There are very good reasons why most golfers continue to struggle to improve their golf swing. The golf swing is complex, involving a sequenced chain reaction of timed movements requiring an accurate strike of a club head, on a small object, swinging at a high rate of speed, all while maintaining balance and posture. The physical movements in a good golf swing are difficult enough to time – so if you have inefficient movement, with excessive effort that results in more physical manipulations and compensations, it requires even more timing.

The golf swing is also counter intuitive. For right handed golfers, your instinct tells you to use and at times overuse your dominant, or right side and hand to add power and control, because that’s what your brain has been programmed to do in other activities. However, in golf this can cause a host of issues that reduce power and consistency. Your “intention” to hit “at” or “up” on the ball to lift it in the air is the opposite of what your intention should be, which is to hit “down (to a certain degree) and through” the ball. Once you realize that some “feels” and the execution of certain key movements in the golf swing are at times opposite of what you perceive, you will then have the ability to shorten the learning curve and more quickly change the inefficient motion.

To learn to move efficiently in a golf swing golfers basically have to trust that moving opposite of their instinct in most cases will actually produce more power. This is a hard concept to grasp and some may actually feel weaker at first when attempting to apply the correct or more efficient movement vs. what feels more powerful. In some sports thrusting or lunging the body in a direction adds power and speed… However, in golf, those radical movements tend to wreck the golfer’s ability to keep the arms and club on proper path and plane as well as make it next to impossible to maintain consistent posture and overall balance.

Learning how to use proper technique while incorporating a more tension free swinging motion will create more club head speed than trying to muscle the ball with the body. What golfers need to learn in order to create more power and consistency is to swing faster with balance not harder. When a swing feels easier it doesn’t necessarily mean that there is less power – it just means that there is less effort being applied. Keep in mind, it’s tough to time a “lunge!”

Consider the following examples of what golfers instinctually want to do vs. what they should do in an efficient golf swing:

To elevate the golf ball:

Golfers want to hit “up” on the ball when they actually need to hit down on it to make it go up. (Especially with irons)

To add power:

On the down swing, golfers want to lunge the body forward and/or down, jerk the upper body backwards, as well as, aggressively rotate and extend the lower body towards the target to create power (as done in other sports) when they need to do the opposite. Resist the urge to lunge or jerk the upper body and resist the early and excessive twist or spin open and stand up with the lower half prior to impact. To be clear… Yes the golf swing requires some lateral moving towards the target and opening of the legs, hips, core and shoulders in order to get maximum power. However, just not all at once prior to impact as if a bomb just went off!

Hitting for power vs. swinging for speed:

Golfers want to “hit at” the ball by throwing the hands and club head out and downward, releasing the club head immediately from the top of the swing in order to get down to the ball, creating a hammer and nail effect. When instead, golfers need to resist releasing the club head as if it were never going to hit the ball creating leverage, lag and speed through impact giving the appearance of an uninterrupted swinging motion.

In conclusion, lose the excessive effort. Take the gorilla suit off and get the hammer out of your hands while attempting to move a golf ball forward with power and accuracy. First make the intention to learn how to accomplish a reasonably tension free, rhythmic, overall balanced golf swing. Your handicap and your body will thank you! Distance will come…

Golf Solitaire (Sometimes also referred to as Forty Thieves) is a fun solitaire game, requiring great anticipation, and a good degree of luck. Whilst it is not possible to win every game, there are certain strategies you can use to greatly increase your chances of winning Golf Solitaire, and this article will go into some of them.

The most important thing to realize with Golf Solitaire is that Kings and Aces are

special. Every other card in the deck can be removed onto cards ranked directly

above or below the card. For example, a 5 can be removed onto a 4 or a 6.

But Aces and Kings are different.

An Ace can only be removed onto a Two, and a King can only be removed onto a

Queen.

This means you have to be particularly careful when you use Queen’s and

Two’s.

Because of this, the very first thing you should do when you start a game of Golf

Solitaire is to count all the Kings and Aces.

If all the Kings are in the tableau, then every time you remove a Queen, you MUST

make sure you also remove a King, or you wont be able to finish the game. And if a

Queen is dealt from the Talon, then you MUST remove a King straight away. If you

can’t, you may as well undo, or start a new game.

Similarly, if all four Aces are in the tableau, then every time you remove a Two, you

MUST make sure you also remove a Ace, and if a Two is dealt from the Talon, then

you must immediately remove an Ace.

If all the Aces and Kings aren’t out, then you need to keep track of how many Two’s

and Queen’s have been dealt from the Talon. In this case you don’t need to use

every Two or Queen on a Ace or King, but if you keep track and work out that there

are not enough Two’s or Queens left to remove all the remaining Aces or Kings, then

it is time to undo…

Just being aware of this one facet of Golf Solitaire will immediately increase your

chances of winning. It takes about 5 seconds to count the Aces and Kings at the

start of the game, but it will help to dramatically improve your winning percentage!

There are other ways to further increase your chances of winning Golf

Solitaire…

If you have a choice between removing two cards of the same rank, one being the

last card in it’s stack, and the other having cards above it, then make sure you

choose the card in the stack with cards above it. Removing the last card in the

stack will not help you to remove any other cards, but removing the card with

cards above it will expose new cards, which will help to form new sequences, and

will give you more options later in the game.

You should also look at which cards will be exposed when given a choice between

removing cards of equal value. There are two things to look for:

1) Is the exposed card an Ace or a King? If so, it might be worthwhile exposing so it

can be removed if a Two or a Queen is dealt.

2) Does the exposed card help with any other potential sequences at the moment? If

so, then it may be worth exposing because it might help make a longer sequence

later. eg: If there are a lot of Fours and Sixes exposed at the moment, then exposing

a Five might be worthwhile.

Finally, it’s often worth planning out sequences, and playing around with

alternatives, to see how long a sequence you can make. You will often find that the

first sequence you can see in Golf Solitaire is not the best one, and a different

sequence might help you to remove a lot more cards. You may find it helps to point

your finger at the screen while planning out your sequence. It seems to help the

thinking process, and helps you to remember the sequence!

If you follow these strategies, will you win every game of Golf Solitaire?

No, you won’t. There is too much luck involved, and most games will not be

finishable.

You will greatly increase your chances of winning Golf Solitaire though, and spend

less time trying to finish games which can’t possibly be won.
