Re: 3 Skill Golf Report

Hi Whizz,

www.3skillsgolf.co.uk

Not sure if they post out to Asia.

3 skills is a simple concept designed in my opinion to help people like me who are very technical, I like to do everything in life perfect or as close to it as possible, hence always to much on my mind to play to my best, I can safely say I know everything about the golf swing or so I thought until I stubbled onto the GTO golf day earlier this year, a guy (Kevin) explained his concept of simply focusing on whats important: Hitting the ball, not just this but hitting it in 3 different ways, basically, 1, hit down. 2, from the inside, 3 rotating the clubface......................you learn to do all three without any swing thoughts at all, you must let go and focus solely on the ball for it to work.
Showing off somewhat, he continued to show ever swing fault in the history of golf but still hit the ball perfect, even off his knees with a driver, when you think about it there are so many variations of the golf swing, including some very strange mannerisums, but they all do one thing, hit the ball exactly the same, I mean clubface to ball........3 skills.

The book in layman terms makes you think about hitting a nail into a wall, you don't focus on the swing you simply concentrate on hitting the nail, if you missed you wouldn't say "that was a bad swing" you would simply say I missed the nail, there is imagery in the book which places a nail through the ball at different angles with different clubs.

There are a few drills etc in there to help get you started, but the reason for this tread was a simple report on my findings and other guys who have purchased the book which costs £15.00, less than a lesson really.

I dropped two shots in a few months and I already played off single figures so its even harder to drop, we have about 3 months left of winter and I don't really need to work on it now, just look at the ball and do it, which isn't a swing thought.

For the record I am just one of the lads who attended the golf day and I have no connection whatsoever with this book or it's promotional team etc.

Thanks

Ian.
