Hot Off The Press With Lloyd A. Hart

JUST RELEASED!!

The Golfer’s Anthology of Odes and Rhymes

This little book is a collection of lighthearted poems written for the amusement of people who understand, play and appreciate the game of golf. Each poem contains elements of golf instruction or tradition, drawn from the game’s rich history and experiences of golfers down through the years.

Some readers may find food for thought or reflection on his or her own game, but all readers who have ever engaged in this glorious pastime will identify with some, if not all of the situations and predicaments described in these verses.

Lloyd A. Hart

TREE TROUBLE

I have a favorite course in town.

Sometimes I play for free

and every time I play a round I hit my favorite tree.

A massive Ponderosa pine

It's quite an awesome sight

it stands between oles four and nine to catch my ball in flight.

They say a tree is mostly air.

You can't prove that by me.

My shots don't even have a prayer of getting through that tree.

I hit my tree consistently

on matter how I aim.

It's one thing I can count on for results that stay rhe same.

I guess it's a conveniece though.

My ball's not hard to track.

I watch it take off toward the tree,I watch it coming back.

There's no point even thinking there's

a chance I'II ever win.

If I don't hit it going out, I'II hit it coming in.

And so it' my tradition,

unwitting though it be.

I can't complete my round of golf until I hit that tree.

Lloyd Hart

GOLF TIP OF THE WEEK

These Flaws Add 10 Or More Strokes Per Round
This Famous Coach Has Your Answer
Click to jump straight to the video

According to world-renowned golf instructor Hank Haney, every golfer—whether amateur or pro—can improve their game by doing these 3 things:

1. Eliminating penalty strokes

2. Eliminating double chips

3. Eliminating three putts

Sounds easy enough, right? [Insert sarcasm here.]

But he's right.

Penalty strokes, double chip and three putts are the reasons you can't break the scores you want to. And they're what separate "good" golfers from great golfers.

So what's the answer? How do you consistently...

... keep the ball in play on the fairway

... pop the ball on the green in one stroke

... hole the ball in two putts or less

Well, Hank Haney is going to show you, and you have two ways to get it:

Hank's Comprehensive Full-Length Video Training, 'The Haney Blueprint' >>

Just check out what this amateur golfer had to say about Hank's lessons:

"Hi Hank, I decided to purchase the Haney Blueprint because I have had many lessons and just as many instructors but none offered the kind of insightfulness you demonstrated.

I went out to hit some balls today and applied what I have learned from the video. And you know what, I was able to hit straighter and 20+ yards longer with my driver. Can't wait to watch the rest of your videos. Thank you!" -- Frank T.

THE SLICE

A slice is a big o' curve to the right (for a right-hander), and is one of the problems that recreational golfers struggle with most. With a slice, the ball often starts out left of the target line before sweeping back right and winding up well right of the target. The tips below are written by instructor Roger Gunn, from the perspective of a right-hander; lefties should reverse the directional elements.)

Diagnosing the Slice Grip

Your hand or hands, especially your left hand, may be turned too far to the left. The "V" formed between the knuckle and thumb on both hands should point between your right shoulder and right ear.

Set-up
The shoulders and/or the feet are often aligned too far to the left of the target line.

Ball Position
The ball might be placed too far forward in your stance.

Backswing
You may be taking the club back too far to the outside, pushing the club away from you. This often goes along with the club "laying off" (pointing left) at the top. Additionally, there can be a clockwise twisting of the club during the backswing.

Downswing
Your right shoulder might be going too much out and not enough down. The arms are often pushed away from you at the transition, causing the club to approach the ball from outside the target line. There can also be a "blocking" of the wrists through impact, preventing the club from turning over.

Diagnosing the Slice Grip

Your hand or hands, especially your left hand, may be turned too far to the left. The "V" formed between the knuckle and thumb on both hands should point between your right shoulder and right ear.

Set-up
The shoulders and/or the feet are often aligned too far to the left of the target line.

Ball Position
The ball might be placed too far forward in your stance.
