Wow its been so long since I've done a blog post I have a million things to talk about. Ive been having Internet issues at my house so I haven't been able to get online. I just wanna throw a shoutout to Time Warner Cable for all of your help.....NOT!!!
Anyways back to golf, I just had my 1 year anniversary of starting to play the game and I realize I'm way behind the level I thought I would be at and know I should be at. I thought for sure I would be down to 15 HC and be shooting low 80's regularly, but that's not the case. Ive had alot of time off these last 5 months and by alot i mean all the time off because I don't have a job!! I decided that the only way to get better at the game of golf is to take some lessons. You can read and watch instruction all you want but if your not out there with someone actually telling you what your doing right and wrong, then your not getting better. With that said I met a couple coaches on twitter that I wanted to work with. The 1st coach I met up with was @golfprotalk aka Robert. He is not a teacher anymore, but we started talking and some how I talked him into helping me with my game. He has a different style of teaching and is more about how you practice to get better then standing there holding your shoulder and head while you swing. So we worked on some putting drills and it has helped me so much already. I will write another post tomm and add some pics of the drills. The 2nd coach I met on twitter is @golferbill aka Bill Ranson http://www.billransongolf.com/. I havent had a chance to work with him due to the fact he is about an hour away. But the coolest thing is he will be playing golf for 24hrs straight once he gets to 1500 followers. He will be doing this to raise money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Along side Bill, @coachdayne aka Dayne Gingrich, and @mareonsmit167 aka Mareon Smit a top junior golfer. Make sure you guys support them on their mission and ill keep updating on their progress.
So besides swing coaches and practice coaches I have a few more thing I am going to be doing to get ready to push myself to my maximum ability. I am getting into the gym to get everything tight and work on my flexibility. I will also get fitted for new equipment so that I can get the most out of my swing. Last but not least I will be buying a Tour Striker club to help with my ball striking (so that I can practice when I'm not taking lessons) and a Swing Thought bracelet @swingthought (http://www.swingthought.com/). If you have never heard of them you need to check them out. They are what powerbalance wishes they were. Don't take my word for it and check out their website. I will also be updating this blog more and will be posting more videos, pics, ect alot more.

P.S. Happy Holidays and a happy NEW YEAR!! Better late then never!!!
