So ther you have the myths on golf. Head down , weight on heels, turn shoulders. There are more but I will leave you with 3.

Let's talk golf now. I got a head ache will politics.ok enough of that. GOLF TALK. My myths on golf ready. 1) head down: people try to keep their head down you get ball bound and arms breaking down and you get very frustrated and top the ball or wiff it anyway. So glance at the ball, strike the ball and let your head go right into a solid finish. If you are frustrated by being told keep your head down call me

I been teaching golf all day. Here in Syracuse ny. I have a break then back to teach . Here what happens to my mind after about 6 1/2 hours lessons. What do you put In a toaster . If you answer toast you are a loser answer is that's right bread. I just won a 3 day cruise can't wait. The cruise is at the Bermuda triangle. My dentist he's another one. I went to him last week I did not want to open my mouth. Doc said what's wrong. I wanted to cry. I said doc I don't know wh...at happen. My teeth are turning YeLLOW. Doc told me to go out and buy a brown neck tie. I had a date last week and I looked at her she had pig tails under her arm pits.. My dog she is another one. Taught my wife to roll over and play dead. My doctor is another one. I want to lose weight. Doc said run 5 miles a day for 2 weeks. I call him. Doc I'm 70 miles away from home. See more

Next myth: left arm straight. Now I am a teacher of golf from club pros to beginners. I specalize in low mid high handicap golfers. So yes left arm straight not on top of backswing. Left arm straight at impact. If you been told to keep your left arm straight and losing distance and frustrated call me

My student in golf just came back from Florida. Orlando . I asked him how was the weather he said cold. Now why did I know that. Because I was down in Florida for 9 winters. My date when the weather most of the time gets warmer is 1st week of March. Now listen up. Your blood does not get thinner. If you believe that . Then you must believe that George Washington chop down the cherry tree ( NOT ) or mama case elliott choked on a ham sandwich ( NOT) THATS ALL

Good morning: heres what I tell my students about to practice their golf swing. We all heard practice makes perfect or permanent. I tell my students that line still has not taught me anything, or perfect practice makes perfect. No kidding I tell my students , but that line also has not help my practice. Now if you don't do this on the range you are wasting your time. ( READY). HOW TO PRACTICE COULD MAKE PERECT PRACTICE . Here are some of mind. Full swings 1/2 speeds. Right ha...nd over left. 2x4 to help teach you to swing from the inside, and get rid of that bad word shank. I don't use a lot of video. My video is the camera on my iPhone. It's great ( WHY ) indoor the lighting will never be as good as outside, but I film in slow motion and the hands and club are clear through impact. I use boards shafts, very little video. Plus dills. I like the student swinging a club. To build their swing , so play becomes much easier . So I hope that was helpful . Maybe I will see you at shoppingtown mall in dewitt ny See more

Good morning: well the golf show was good for me. Have some great little juniors and ladies to start the season. This golf expo was in syracuse ny. What I do is 5 minute lessons for 5 dollars. Next year it will be 10 minute lessons for 10 dollars. All my regular lessons are a 1/2 hour. During the 5 minutes pick out whatever he or she problem maybe. Get right to the point, and let them hit balls during the 5 minutes. Let them feel the improvement and during the 5 minutes. Try ...to have them purchase a series of lessons. I love it. Perry Noun did a great job. Try to get everyone involve. He had PGA teachers, and salesmen talking and demo their products. Titleist and Calloway look great. To the left of me was a closest to pin contest for a 3 day total . A 8th grader from Lafayette won it 3 foot. He tried on Friday morning. I have the 2 simulators at my indoor. They both worked great. I had the contestants on the 7th hole at pebble beach. 115 yards. See more

During the mid 80's left Caz. Went on my own til this day. Giving over 60 golf exibitions , teaching out of rogues roost where Darl Johnston was and still is great to me. We as a team Darl , Dave Neiman , and yours truly started golf outings which in turn made Darl another 18 holes. Total 36. At one time billy Galloway was the golf director there . Now it is the 12th hole he said I can't drive this green. Went out there and hit it over the green on the old golf course. Next day Darl put that pond next to the green.

1991 had Bob toski there again. The golf couse was hard as a rock. On the 18 hole. My sponsors and bob and I had a 50 yard pitch. I told Bob this is the firmest green on the couse. He took pitching wedge out . Took the club at the ball so far left hit hole high and checked up. Guess what greens are never to hard after that.

1981 had Bob toski at cazenovia golf club. What a great day that was. That year also won 3 tournaments in a row. I stayed there until 1984.

1980 I thank bob horstmyer of cazenovia where I was the head pro for 5 years. Along with lakeshore I had a great time. 6 months up here 6 months with golf digest in boca raton fla.
