Did Adam and Morgan play "INSTINCTIVE" Golf

Hi Guys,

And first off we would like to offer our congratulations to Adam Scott and Morgan Pressel for their wins this weekend. What a victory for the young 18 year old, the youngest ever winner of a major title in the women's golf realm.

But going back to the title on the post. Did Adam or Morgan play "Instinctive Golf"

I was sitting with a friend of mine on Friday, his name is Andy and he is a teaching pro here in Poland. He was telling me about a new teaching method called "Instinctive Golf' which has been developed by one leading teaching pro and two former tour players in the UK.

Andy was telling me that rather than tell the pupil what to do, the method is more focussed on asking the golfer to describe why he/she made a bad shot and how they would rectify it.

I know this sort of radical, but maybe it might just work.

Andy attended their session for teaching pro's and will be setting up some workshops here in Poland which i think I will attend.

Andy mentioned that one of the drills was hitting a ball from a three foot high tee peg with just the clubhead of a driver attached to a golf grip, weird eh!!

Even so, he thinks it will catch on and maybe you should take a look at it.

Instinctive Golf is totally committed to becoming the worlds most effective and empowering coaching “method”. How? Well by moving the game away from thinking, and moving it towards feeling. You see FEEL is what we use to perform all the amazing motion skills we possess. You don’t think how to walk, you FEEL how to walk. You don’t think how hard to throw the piece of paper into the bin, you FEEL how hard to throw it. And if golf is to change then it must align itself accordingly, because more information is not the answer.

A special post for our Lady Golfers and readers

Hi Guys, (and Girls)

I hope we are looking forward to this weekends PGA and LPGA events, and talking about the LPGA i have been searching the web for stories for our lady readers out there and spotted this one about American Express supporting the game of golf for women.

For the third year in a row American Express will be the title sponsor for American Express Women's Golf Week.

How good it is to see a large corporate taking an interest in women's golf, this event is a golf development program and is held nationwide in the US from June 2-9, 2007.


This programme will provide women who are 14 years of age and older to take their first steps to learn and play golf in a women-friendly environment.

American Express is pioneering in these outreach efforts to reach women golfers.

Women's Golf Week has been developed in response to input from leaders in the golf industry.

PlayGolfAmerica.com is the ultimate search engine for accessing information on player development programs for adults, women and families nationwide.

An exert from the article says:

"This is the third year for the American Express Women's Golf Week, and each year participation increases dramatically," said Trish Davis, EWGA chief operating officer and chair of the American Express Women's Golf Week committee.

"The chance to once again team up with a company like American Express is exciting for us, as we know they are just as committed to growing the game of golf among women as we are."

This year it is estimated that more than 50,000 women will attend an American Express Women's Golf Week event at a course in their community. This has to be good for the game and hopefully it will lead to more families becoming involved in both the competitive and social aspects of the game.

If mums get "into the game" then so will their kids and this whole exercise will hopefully see the next Tiger Woods and the next Paula Creamer emerge.

In it's first year more than 10,000 women attended and this increased to 24,500 women golfers participating in various American Express Women's Golf Week activities in 2006.

Events for Women's Golf Week are customized at each facility and include complimentary instruction, among other golf and social events. In addition, many facilities will also offer exclusive savings for American Express Card members, such as 20 percent off a round of golf at participating courses.

After advancing the program for two years, GOLF 20/20 handed over management responsibility for Women's Golf Week to the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA), Executive Women's Golf Association (EWGA), The PGA of America and the National Golf Course Owners Association (NGCOA)
Consumers can find more details about the 2007 American Express Women's Golf Week, including a complete list of participating facilities, details on specific events and access to online registration at www.PlayGolfAmerica.com beginning in May.

So come on girls, get out there and take part in what will be a fun and fantastic week of golf
