Why not even Tiger Woods can teach you to play better golf!

Dear Fellow Golfer,

Bold statement, isn't it?

Come on! Be honest! How can you expect him to think like you?

Tiger Woods played competitive golf since he was a kid. By the time he was 19 he had won 3 U.S. Junior Amateurs and 3 U.S. Amateurs. He was never a golfer like you and me, and he cannot begin to understand what we think or how we think.

Although both the game we play, and the game he plays, are called golf, he plays a totally different game to us.

Fact: Not even the pro's can play golf like Tiger Woods, how can you and me?

Let's face a few facts.

Tell me, how many of the books you've read, the videos you've watched and the lessons and tips you got over the years had a lasting effect on your golf game? Unless you spent some time practicing to make the changes, not many I'm sure.

Face it, if you've played the game for any length of time, the swing you have now is the swing that will have to do the trick for you - unless you are going to change and put in a lot more time practicing some changes. And by practicing I do not mean pounding buckets of balls on the driving range, hoping that by some miracle you will find the perfect swing, I mean taking serious lessons and practising under supervision.

Make no mistake, I am a major fan of Tiger Woods - ever since I first read about himwhen he was 13 years old. I just do not believe he can teach the average golfer much. He plays a WAAYYY different game to us. And for us to try and copy his game, or some other pro's game, is a road to heartache and frustration.

Even the average golf pro cannot think like the average amateur golfer. They play the game at a different level and the things that will really help you play better golf are second nature to them, they do not even think about it.

I am not saying that they cannot give you the technical skills of the golf swing, etc. But that you can get from any golf book published the last 100 years. The technical stuff hasn't changed much over the years. And with all the books around we should all be pro's by now! But we're not. We are still struggling to break 100 or 90 or 80.

So where is the problem?

• Obviously, we do not practice the basics enough.
• Obviously, we do not go for intensive coaching.
• Obviously, we do not have the time, or the inclination, to go through a major swing and game revamps.
• Obviously, we are playing the game to enjoy it and not as a career.
• We want to arrive at the golf course, after a week at work, and just play the game. And we expect it to be better than the week before!

To quote Dr. Phil: "How's that working for you?"

Can you Improve?

But is there a way to improve our golf games, without changing everything, without putting in the hours and hours of practice it will need to really make a difference?

Yes!

Jack Nicklaus, in one of his books, said that it isn't so much about hitting the perfect shot, but more about reducing the bad shots (and the blow out holes) during a round that will improve your golf score. In other words, become more consistent at playing better golf.

Again, if you have been playing the game for a while you have your good holes and your bad holes, your good shots and your bad shots, your good rounds and your bad rounds. Just think how much better your game will be if you can minimize the bad shots, holes, rounds!

"Mind Games: 10 Mind Lessons Guaranteed To Improve Your Golf Game Instantly" is an electronic book (you download it onto your computer) with 10 easy lessons that will instantly transform your game. Without hours of practice, without pounding a million balls on the driving range.

"Mind Games: 10 Mind Lessons Guaranteed To Improve Your Golf Game Instantly" will teach you how to:

• Hit the ball cleaner and sweeter and probably longer, the next time you play golf!
• Lose your fear of three and four foot putts! And sink more putts the next time you play golf.
• How to be a scratch golfer at putting, averaging two putts per hole or less, consistently! This one may take a bit longer to achieve.

• Improve your handicap by at least 10% in three months.

"Mind Games: 10 Mind Lessons Guaranteed To Improve Your Golf Game Instantly" will give you the steps to play better golf every time, even when you are under pressure.

All this without more practice!

"Mind Games: 10 Mind Lessons Guaranteed To Improve Your Golf Game Instantly" was written by an amateur for amateurs who just want to be more consistent, and maybe cut a few strokes off their handicaps.

Why are most golf lessons useless?

Psychologists tell us that it takes 21 days of practice for a change in habit to become ingrained. How often, after reading golf tip, or taking a golf lesson, have you spent 21 days practicing it? Never? That's why they seldom work.

The only golf lessons that ever worked for me was years ago, when I went to a 7 day golf school, and we stood on the practice tee from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. everyday, pounding golf balls. That little episode gave me blisters on all my fingers, nearly ruined my back but took 10 shots off my average golf game!

That is one option.

Forget about the "No Pain, No Gain" philosophy!

The easier option is: "Mind Games: 10 Mind Lessons Guaranteed To Improve Your Golf Game Instantly"

"Mind Games: 10 Mind Lessons Guaranteed To Improve Your Golf Game Instantly" will take strokes off your golf game without going through the pain.

Now, now! I am not promising that you will take 10 shots off your game instantly.

I am promising that you will improve your game and start seeing the difference from the next time you play a round of golf.

In fact, I guarantee that you will improve your average golf score by at least 5% in three months (that is 5 shots if you now average 100), without practicing more than you probably do now, if you apply these lessons to your game. But more about that later.

Let me tell you a bit about myself.

I am Jens du Plessis, and I am an average golfer like you. No, that's a lie. I'm not even an average golfer like you.

I have been playing golf for the last 20 years but for the last four years I played less than 5 rounds a year.

My last official handicap in 2000 was a 13, and in terms of the rules I still must play off a 13, whenever I get a chance to play. At first this bugged me, but not anymore.

I never get to a driving range, so I don't ever practice. And I'm not saying you mustn't practice.

When I have an occasional golf game I arrive at the course about 30 minutes before my tee off, sometimes less, and apart from putting a bit on the practice green, I go straight to the tee.

"So what the heck is this?" you ask, "How can you teach me anything?"

Let me tell you a bit about the golf I play on these occasional golfing days.

• I still play to a 13 handicap or better, shooting between 82 and 86 on par 72 courses over 6,500 yards in length, even when I've never played the course before.
• I play more consistent, better golf than I've ever played.
• I hit the ball sweeter, cleaner and longer than ever before. The other day I hit my drive, with a #2 Wood, 275 meters, that is 315 yards. Look I'm 51 years old, not too athletic and I used to hit my drive around 220 yards.
• I putt less than 36 putts a round, normally around 32 or 33 putts.

All this with No Practice and not having played regular golf for over four years!

How do I do that?

By applying the 10 Mind Lessons I tell you about in "Mind Games: 10 Mind Lessons Guaranteed To Improve Your Golf Game Instantly".

In fact, that is why I wrote "Mind Games: 10 Mind Lessons Guaranteed To Improve Your Golf Game Instantly" because I realized that these are lessons every golfer can apply easily, instantly and consistently without really having to practice them.

They are so simple to apply!

They will work with your existing golf swing.

Obviously, if there is something totally wrong with your swing and technique, or you are a beginner, you may need to fix that first if you want to become much better, but "Mind Games: 10 Mind Lessons Guaranteed To Improve Your Golf Game Instantly" will improve your golf game even if you do not change anything else. My own swing is far from perfect, it's way too flat.

I'm no "natural" at the game! It took me three years before I broke 100 and for years I struggled to break 90 consistently. Now I play in the mid to low 80's consistently even though I only play 4 or 5 times a year and do not practice at all.

How many strokes will you save per round if:

• you hit the ball cleaner, sweeter, and probably longer?
• you hit the ball straighter more often?
• you hit more fairways and greens?
• you sink more 4 to 12 foot puts?
• you two put more often from 20, 40 or 60 feet?
• you play the par 5's in par or better more often?

So let me tell you about the guarantee you get, even though you can get "Mind Games: 10 Mind Lessons Guaranteed To Improve Your Golf Game Instantly" for less than $1.50 per lesson (you should make that back at your next skins game with your partners).
