If you want to fix a slice that is really making your golfing experience miserable, then read on. There is an easy way to fix a slice that doesn’t involve spending a fortune on professional golf lessons. You don’t have to buy the latest anti-slice golf clubs or expensive swing training aid either.

It amazes me that many golfers struggle for years trying to fix a slice on their own, or worse, they continue playing with their slice without trying to do anything about it. I know all about it; as a youngster I had a terrible slice and I tried everything to try and fix it – on my own.

Back then, there wasn’t the easy access to information as there is today, so I took several golf lessons with my Grandfathers club pro and managed to hit a golf ball straight down the middle of the fairway. I don’t know how much it cost my Grandfather, but you don’t have to go down the same road.

There are several eBooks on the internet that can show you very quickly and easily how to fix a slice. I have just finished reviewing the latest guide called Instant Golf Slice Cure by Dave Moore.

If your next California golf vacation takes you to or through Santa Barbara County, be sure to stop and play La Purisima Golf Course. You simply will not find a better Santa Barbara golf course to play for less than $100 (green fees range from $50-$91). With a 75.6 stroke average and 143 slope rating from the tips, you probably won’t find a more challenging one, either, a fact the course isn’t shy about promoting on its website, where the question is posed: “Can you handle playing…La Piranha?” (its nickname given by the locals).

If you are interested in becoming a better golfer, you will know that you have to get fit for golf. In this resume of golf training tools, I will highlight the best golf fitness training guide and the best golf training devices.

Did you know that it wasn’t until the 80’s that golfers started to realize the benefits of being fit for golf. PGA pros like Nick Faldo, Greg Norman, and few others started a trend that continues to this day. Today’s top players, like Tiger Woods and Annika Sorenstam, all know that to be on top of their game week after week and year after year, they have to be fit for golf.

Previously on this blog I reviewed 6 different methods that teach you how to hit a golf ball straight down the middle of the fairway. Each one had a different take on the proper golf swing to use to take your game to the next level. There are many more methods, but these 6 are all recommended; it all depends on which method will work for you.

I would like to give you a resume of all 6 methods so that you can compare them side by side. Most of them guarantee you will develop more distance, consistency, and accuracy with your golf swing. Some guarantee that you will lower your handicap by at least 7 strokes. So, what have you got to loose? Just choose the method that you feel more comfortable with and take your game to the next level.

Golf Swing Guru

Here are some statistics about David Nevogt and his book Golf Swing Guru; his book has been sold in 36 countries on 7 continents; he has helped over 16,000 golfers in the last 3 years; there is a 95% success rate for golfers using his system; bogey golfers have managed to lower their handicap by at least 7 strokes in only 2 rounds of golf; the average improvement actually is 12 strokes.

The weak US Dollar has sent the price of U.K and Ireland golf vacations soaring to as much as $400-$500 per round at top courses. But value or even “discount” golf vacations in the U.K. are still possible, and my colleagues at Golf Odyssey recently uncovered a great option: Mid-Wales, where green fees at some of the best golf courses cost less than $70. Golf vacations in Wales aren’t nearly as popular as neighboring U.K. and Ireland destinations, but you can bet interest is going to greatly intensify during the lead-up to, and following, its hosting of the Ryder Cup in 2010. To be sure, if golf vacation destinations were stocks, the smart money would be buying Wales. Consider this your chance to get in on the ground floor. (continued at www.GolfVacationInsider.com)
