The Machine, the Tool, and the Task
For the last 6 years now, I've been a member of the GGA team. In these 6 years, I've had the opportunity to meet thousands of people, make some wonderful friends, and expand myself in ways I never thought possible. It's been a great 6 years to be sure. One thing that some may not know about me is that before I became a member of the GGA team in January of 2004, I was a student of the GGA. I, like you, was looking to Todd and Tim to offer me a way to improve my golf game. I already ...
Tiger – What’s Missing?
Like almost everyone, I admire Tiger Woods- or at least I did until Thanksgiving. Then something happened; Tiger Woods became human and golf's superman revealed his kryptonite - an appetite for women and a disregard for his wife and marriage. I am not judging Tiger but I must say, like many, I am disappointed. Disappointed that even the strongest of persons can succumb to a weakness. I also feel a bit defrauded but there is a part of me that feels compassion for Tiger. Here's why. It comes down to this. Any addiction or compulsion, in ...
What it takes – truthfully.
It is almost winter season. Christmas is closing in and the holidays have our thoughts on shopping, gifts and how to find a little warm weather to sneak in a few holes of golf. It is this time of year that always has me thinking about what I call the "separation". The separation is the person who gets out of bed at an hour early to get on a bike for 30 minutes before work and the one who sleeps to get every last minute of sleep before hitting the snooze button. The separation is going ...
There are no secrets
Since the inception of our professional teaching organization - the Graves Golf Academy, we have been strategically designing instruction and programs to help students apply simple and proven Moe Norman Fundamentals to their golf swings. The key word here is fundamentals. Let me repeat this word a different way by defining it. Fundamentals: Principles from which other truths can be derived; I love this definition because in its own definition, fundamentals is based on principles and truth. Therefore, when you are applying the learning of Moe Norman's golf swing - you are applying the "truth" to you golf ...
IF I Had To Do It All Over Again My formula for success – Ready-Fire-Aim
If your are new to Moe’s golf swing or just beginning to learn the single plane golf swing I envy you. I want you to know how lucky you are. You are extremely lucky because you have available to you all the tools, videos, training aids and technology to shortcut the learning process –When I found Moe, I did not have many of these tools. There is one thing though, that I had that you may not have and this may keep you from finding the success that you strive for. Desire. People ask me every day why ...
Off the Subject of Golf – or maybe not
You may or may not know that I am interested in a few other subjects unrelated to golf. (I know - call the press). But the truth is that I am interested in what makes people who they are...I am interested in what makes people tick. I am not talking about what makes people tick from a psychology standpoint - that is too complicated. I am talking about it from a personal standpoint. I like to hear peoples stories. We all have them and every one of them is interesting. I like to know what motivates ...
The Masters – A Ballstriking Nightmare
I love the Masters tournament. If you are a fan of golf, you have to. It gives me the golf bug and makes me want to get out there and work on my game. Especially my short game. What bothers me a little is that the ball-striking somewhat let me down. Don't get me wrong, the guys played great in tough conditions. Not the weather. It was perfect. What I am talking about is the course, competition and stage -those conditions. And under those conditions, the ball striking was, to say the least, ...
