101 Fitness Tips for Golf now available in Ireland
My recent book – 101 Fitness Tips for Golf is now available in Ireland.
The Golf Department in Castletroy just outside of Limerick is the first golf store to carry the book in Ireland. It is also available on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk but seems to be selling out all the time.
The best way still remains to visit www.myFitnessCaddy.com and order the book direct. To celebrate, the next 100 orders on the website can use coupon code SHAMROCK at checkout for a 20% discount.
In the news…
A loud THANK YOU to the Armchair Golfer for the nice article on his blog about 101 Fitness Tips for Golf. His blog is one of the better ones keeping tabs on the PGA tour. Great post today about John Daly and his possible playing on the European Tour next year – I sure hope he does while I am living in Ireland!
Tiger not 100% until 2010?
Tiger Woods says he won’t be fully healed until 2010. This comes as no surprise to me. The type of knee surgery Tiger had a few months ago usually takes 2 years for an athlete to fully recover.
Imagine if Tiger was not in as good physical condition as he currently is – this injury would linger even longer. It is hard to picture him spending even more time in the gym, but you can bet the Ryder Cup that his physical condition is his #1 priority for the foreseeable future.
How do I play without getting nervous?
Guest Blogger – Randy Friedman
First of all even Tiger gets nervous. He has said, if he didn’t get nervous going to the first tee, he’d be worried. The difference is, he perceives at it as excitement nerves and has learned how to use it as positive energy. We are not born with this knowledge, we learn it. It’s a choice what to think… you have that choice too.
You must learn to breathe deeply and rhythmically. When we get nervous, are fearful or become frightened, our breathing becomes labored and changes. I’ve witnessed many 2 foot putts lip out because the golfer felt extra pressure and held their breath during the stroke. Next time you are on the putting green practice a couple of things:
1) Create a pre-shot routine that’s consistent – (If you can speak it or write it down, you have a pre-shot routine)
2) Gratitude makes breathing easier!
Breathing will always relax your nerves. Golf courses have a lot to breathe deeply about. Look around, appreciate where you are and breathe in deeply everything you are grateful for.
