Your Golf Inspiration

So I was just reading some headlines after watching some golf and got to thinking of the golfer who inspired me the most. When I was in junior high, I started to really like golfing. The golfer who inspired me the most was Tiger Woods. He was phenomenal! Never had I seen a golfer with his skills and abilities. I've always liked him and followed him ever since.

It's sad to me that people are knocking him so hard just because he's had a rough year (his rank at the end of 2014 was 32). Statistically, he's the best golfer who's ever played. (I'd say the only other up with him in the Master's period is Jack Nicklaus) He brought golf to life for way more people than any other golfer. And let's be honest, even though his rank is 286 right now, he's still way better than you or I!

So why are there so many headlines about him? There are other golfers out there right? The reason that he gets so much press is because he achieved so many amazing things in his career. Not only that, but he did it at a very young age. People want to see him get back to where he was doing incredible things. 

Anyway, this was really just about seeing which golfer(s) inspired you. I'd love to see who they are. Just leave a comment at the bottom of the post.

How to Hit Out of the Rough

If you're like the majority of golfers out there, you probably play your fair share in the rough. Heck, even the pros spend more time than they'd like to in the rough, with many of them only hitting the fairway off the tee 70% - 80% of the time!

So here are some great tips to teach you how to get out of the rough in any situation that you might find your ball in.

How to Aim Correctly and Hit a Straight Shot

Most people live and die by the rule of aiming at the target with their feet. The biggest problem with this though, is that the club head tends to be off of the target line when you do this. In the video by Me and My Golf below, they show you the proper way to setup and hit the ball.

The first step is to get behind your ball and find the line. Once you've done that, you need to choose a spot on that line to aim the club head at. Usually this can be anywhere from 1 to 2 feet away from the ball. You then stay focused on that spot and align your club head at the spot you chose. You can then set your feet and hit the shot you envisioned.
