My grade-school age daughter, having recently taken up golf as a hobby, invited me to play with her.  I discovered quite quickly that my golf skills definitely left something to be desired.  (It was rather embarrassing, honestly)  To remedy this problem, I signed up for classes from a golf pro at a course close to my home in Palm Desert.Despite months of time, my best efforts, and a good deal of money spent on the classes, I saw very little improvement.  It wasn’t so much that the golf instruction I was receiving was wrong, but rather that it was just a “collection of tips and advice”.  I’m not sure if I am explaining myself clearly.  Basically, the instruction I was getting was disjointed; though technically correct, it wasn’t being presented in a method that I could assemble and use.  Despite trying a number of golf classes from several different organizations, I really didn’t see any measurable improvement.

Feeling frustrated, I searched on the Internet for an alternative, and amongst the plethora of gimmicky “Instantly improve your swing!!!” type websites, I found Black Belt Golf.  I was rather intrigued at the idea of somehow combining martial arts and golf, so I called them up, spoke with their staff, and scheduled myself for some classes.  What a difference I found with this program!  The system includes stretching and some cardio, but it actually does teach a series of martial arts techniques that can be translated directly to the movements you make when swinging a golf club.  I certainly don’t mean to claim that you’ll become Tiger Woods overnight, but the improvement I experienced in my golf game was quite dramatic!  It has given me an entirely different outlook on the game and how it approach it.  I have their “White Belt” DVD and have attended a number of classes with Ryan White and I can say with confidence that anyone looking to improve their game will get both great results, and have a lot of fun, with the Black Belt Golf program.
