Resources

Some useful information for your game

I thought I would share with you a number of resources that I have found useful and interesting in my golfing world.  I have written some comments about each item and you can also buy directly from my site.

The Technical Side Of Golf - Gravity Golf

How it works and how to learn it by David Lee
This DVD will have a huge benefit to anyone who is looking to develop a Gravity swing on their own, or support those whom I am currently coaching.  The DVD is split in to two sections, the first looks at the physics of the Gravity swing, the second shows the importance of the 'drills' as well as showing you how to perform them.

Putting on the arc by David Lee
This DVD examines the importance of putting on an arc rather than using a straight back and through stroke.  Lee then moves on to give a number of exerices and drills to help develop a consistent arc stroke in your game.

The evolution and revolution of golf instruction by David Lee
The Evolution and Revolution of Golf Instruction by David LeeThis is the only book you will ever need to read to improve your golf.  David Lee describes how the Gravity swing works, and explains the all important 'drills' required to gain such a swing.  At times this book can get complex therefore I recommend the Gravity Golf DVD for those who want to learn the Gravity swing rather than fully understand it.

 

Gravity Golf DVD's and Books

 

Sport Psycology
The Mental Game and Motivation

Golf: The mind factor by Darren Clarke and Karl Morris
This is a great introduction into the world of sport psychology.  Darren Clarke takes the reader through the various techniques that he has used introduced by Karl to aid him with his mental game. Golf: The Mind Factor  

Golf is not a game of perfect by Dr Bob Rotella
I have read all the Rotella books and in my opinion this is by far his best.  If you are someone who leaves the course feeling like they can always do better this is the book for you. Golf is Not a Game of Perfect  

Play Magic Golf by Dr Stephen Simpson
A straight talking no nonsense book with lots of information.  However, if you have read the previous two books above and enjoyed the laid back style then this is probably not the one for you.  If you like your information short sharp and straight to the point then give this one a try.  Play Magic Golf - Use the latest psychological techniques to be a better golfer

Bounce by Mathew Syed
One of the best books I have read in ages!  An inspiring read that will motivate you to practice so you can reach all of your goals.  This book looks at our understanding of the word talent and proposes that those we label as being talented have got there with determination and practice, nothing more.  Bounce: The Myth of Talent and the Power of Practice

Training

Mark Bull Golf
Mark has many years of experience working with golfers of all abilities.  Whether you are looking to improve your fitness levels for golf or are suffering from an injury holding your golf back, Mark has both the equipment and expertise to help you.  I have been using the posture belt to help my rotation in my swing.  Mark has a great website with many articles on training and rehabilitation I recomend you take a look.  

Equipment

Golf Grips
Golf grips are often overlooked by amateur golfers.  Professionals will change their grips at the first sign of wear as they understand how important it is to maintain a secure hold of the club without having to tighten the grip.  In my opinion Golf Pride make the best grips and you can find your perfect grip here.  Once you have selected your grip get in CONTACT for a quote.
