You’ll never develop a swing like Tiger’s. Or for that matter, Mickelson’s, Els’s, Daly’s or Garcia’s.
To be brutally frank, no matter how hard you try or how often you practice, odds are you’ll NEVER be able to swing the club like the top tour pros.
Why? Because, like most of us, you weren’t born with their physical ability.
Besides, each of the big-money pros has a swing that’s unique to his (or her) physique. It’s hardwired into the DNA. That’s how they got to be big-money pros.
Does that mean you’ll never play better than you play right now? That you’re doomed to be a duffer? The butt of countless jokes from your buddies? A study in frustration?
No! Nein! Nyet! Non!! No way!
Because there’s another, more important truth.
It doesn’t matter if you can’t copy Tiger.
Or any of the top tour pros. You don’t have to even try. You shouldn’t try.
Because I’m going to help you develop a swing guaranteed to help you Play better golf than you ever thought possible in two short weeks or I’ll send your money back.
Actually, it’s more than a swing. It’s a whole System. But don’t let that scare you. It’s very simple. That’s the beauty of it. And why I call it
The Simple Golf Swing System
I created it specifically for the average (and below average) golfer who wants to
Get better. Fast. How much better? With the Simple Golf Swing System
* You’ll hit the ball straighter and further than you ever hit before.
* You’ll hit with greater distance and accuracy every time.
* You’ll hit more greens and get the ball consistently close to the pin.
* You’ll wonder what ever happened to that awful slice you used to have.
* You’ll gain a new outlook on golf with greater confidence in your game. Because you’re armed with a proven system that actually works!
How fast? I’m glad you asked.
* You’ll learn the Simple Golf Swing in just three hours.
* You’ll lower your score by at least seven strokes within the first two rounds.

You see, my goal is to have break 80 within 60 days. No matter what you’re shooting now.

I know some of you are laughing under your breath wondering what I am doing writing a tip on UNEVEN LIES. What in the world could I possible know about uneven lies living in Scottsdale, Arizona? Well, it is the Grand Canyon State for starters, but yes you’re right, we do not face as many uneven lies as someone from North Carolina, for example. However, there are plenty of times during the course of a round when we are faced with a golf ball that might be on a side hill lie.
Before I begin, I am going to first give you the definition of the four uneven lies in golf.
Uphill Lie – The easiest of the four uneven lies. The ball is level with your feet but the slope is up-hill, we refer to this as an uphill lie. Downhill Lie – A ball that is level to your feet but the slope is down hill, probably the second most difficult shot in golf. Ball Below Feet – The most difficult shot in golf is when the ball is below your feet Ball Above Feet – The fourth uneven lie is when the ball is above your feet.
Don’t get confused between an uphill lie, and when the ball is simply above your feet. These are 2 different lies, and should be addressed separately. Also, don’t get confused with the downhill lie, and the ball being below your feet. Again, these are 2 different lies.
Let’s start with the easiest shot in golf, the up-hill lie. If you struggle with this shot, you probably swing the golf club to vertical into the ground and hit a fat shot. Before you prepare for an uphill lie, you need to think of a few important items first.
1. Make sure you take a less lofted club. When you have an uphill lie, it will make the ball go HIGHER and SHORTER.
2. The ball will have a tendency to hook to the left, so aim a little to the right.
3. To avoid hitting the shot fat, check your shoulder alignment and make sure they are parallel to the ground you are standing on. If you are on an uphill lie, your back shoulder should be a little lower that your leading shoulder.
4. The ball should be positioned according to what club you are using, as though you were on a level lie. (A bit forward for longer clubs.)
5. You want to make sure you follow through HIGH after impact.
Now we can move on to one of the hardest shots in golf, the down hill lie. If you have a tendency to struggle with this shot, the miss hit is usually a top. Follow the steps below and you will see a huge change in your down hill shots.
1. Because the ball will fly lower, you can take a more lofted club to help the ball go a little higher.
2. The ball will have a tendency to curve to the right, aim a little to the left.
3. If you have your shoulders at address tilted level to the down slope of your lie, this will encourage the club to swing DOWN into the ball (correct) and not up in the down swing. Thus, you will hit the bottom of the ball and not the top.
4. Play the ball in your stance according to the club you are using (again, a little forward for a longer club).
5. You want to make sure you follow through LOW to the ground after impact.
Now we are back to a simple golf shot, the ball above our feet. If you follow the steps below, you will not hit the ground behind the ball anymore, and the ball above your feet will become your absolute favorite shot in golf
1. If you struggle with hitting the ball fat in these shots, make sure you are standing taller than your normal stance.
2. The ball will have a tendency to fly to the left, aim a little farther to the right.
3. DO NOT BEND YOUR KNEES
4. This is the main point, the golf club wants to swing more AROUND your body, let it…DO NOT TRY TO MAKE A NORMAL SWING…let the club swing around you.
THE HARDEST SHOT IN GOLF. The dreaded, (I can’t believe this is happening to me) BALL BELOW YOUR FEET golf shot. You have come to the right place, below is the answer.
1. When the ball is below your feet, you will have a tendency to top it to the right, whiff the ball, or shank it.
2. The address is the most important part of this shot. Bend your knees and bend WAY over at address. You ALMOST can not bend TOO much.
3. The ball will have a tendency to go to the right, aim farther left.
4. The golf club wants to swing up and down, NOT around. LET IT…It will feel like a lob swing, this is correct. IF you make your normal swing, you will whiff the ball completely.

At the age of 29, Tiger Woods has already put together a resume that can be compared favorably with the many all time greats of the sport . And among today’s crop of golf professionals, Tiger Woods is the only one to rank among the list of the top 20 major championship winners of all time. Culturally, Woods is credited with creating a much renewed interest and participation in golf, not only in the United States but also worldwide. So far, his life has unfolded like a fairy-tale movie. Why, even if it is only his life before the age of 20 that you consider, the movie would already be pretty good. Consider the following.
Born on December 30, 1975, Eldrick “Tiger” Woods’ early beginnings are well-chronicled by now. At just four months old, Woods gusted on the Mike Douglas TV show to display his golf skills and his surprisingly natural golf swing with his golf clubs. In 1984, he won his first world golf championship — the 9-10 Boys Event of the Junior World Golf Championships — at the age of eight. He went on to win the Junior World Golf Championships six times, including four consecutive wins from 1988-1991.
Woods continued with his incredible winning ways in the U.S. Junior Amateur Championships, which he won in 1991, 1992, and 1993 and he remains as the event’s youngest-ever winner. He then went on to become the only person to win the U.S. Amateur Championship three straight years. He won his first amateur in 1994 fresh out of high school, thereby also becoming the youngest to ever win the event.
Before he reached the age of 20, Woods had won the USGA Championships five times. Many believe that he has already compiled the best ever under-20 career in golf history. From there, Woods went to Stanford University for two years, won one NCAA individual championship and then left college to pursue his professional golf career. And after that, the rest, as they say, is history.
Moreover, in 2005, Tiger captured his 10th major golf championship, a total that puts him fourth place in history in the most championships won behind Jack Nicklaus, Bobby Jones and Walter Hagen. And to think that he has probably not even reached the half-way point of his very incredible golf career. A magic, right?
