This post in particular makes a lot of sense to me. So many people who play the game of golf, seek improvement via the latest new club or swing trainer. They fail to realize that their are limits to how far they can hit the ball and how well they can hit the ball. Those limits being their physical conditioning and their mental conditioning - how well they see of themselves playing the game. Your mental tips remind me of Maxwell Maltz's classic book "Pyscho-Cybernetics", which is a fantastic read for anyone who wants to realize the power of their mind. I am going to add your blog to my blogroll - under golf blogs - I hope that you will stop by for a look. Chris Melton <a href="http://www.therotater.com" rel="nofollow">The Rotater.com</a> Hi Andy,

In fact the winter is our competition time. I have been in golf admin for a large part of my 60+ years of playing THE game, and have tried and tried to change this pattern without avail. Certainly any of our professional tournaments run here are in the summer months, and the pros would not dream of struggling round our courses, particularly those in the South Island in winter, even though we club golfers have to. The answers I have been given have mainly hinged around the desire of the New Zealand Golf Council to "Keep in synchronisation" with the European summer. This has never been altered. Certainly as I have aged it has become much more pleasurable to play in the Spring, Summer and Autumn months, but I still enjoy my winter golf, though if the weather is too bad I give it a miss. Other countries such as South Africa, Argentina, Spain, Brazil, and the host of tropical lands enjoy all year round golf, and many people at our club play our summer and move back to the Northern Hemisphere (Canada, Ireland, the US, England) for your summer. Wish I could do the same. Sometimes I manage a trip to the Gold Coast in Queensland, very balmy in the winter, and beautiful for golf, as is Perth, in Western Aus. in the winter.

I'm new to the game (18 months) and wish I had taken it up years ago. Never had a very active career and find that golf is just what I needed. The tips given in this email for keeping fit in the winter months will be a great asset. Many thanks, Rick PS Anyone needing a not very good playing partner in Cambridge, UK? Hi Andy,

I have practiced it for years to improve my breathing as an asthma sufferer and still use it before a round. Us "oldsters" sure do need to slow ourselves down and get a positive outlook on our upcoming round of golf.

Cheers for 2008 The next eagle is just around the corner.
