You really do need to develop your own golf style. Now, that may seem like an obvious statement, but some beginners think that all they have to do is imitate Tiger Woods’ every move and they’ll become an instant golf success.
A golf hook can be compared to Pele’s ‘banana kick’ in football. In the case of a right hander, when the golf ball strays severely, from the right to the left, it is referred to as a hook. Where left handers are concerned, the ball would sway from left to right. The golf hook is, more often than not, referred to as an error made by beginners. Of course, professional golfers may deliberately use this method to place the golf ball where required.
A roller coaster ride of emotions would be an understatement for the year Tiger Woods had in 2006. From early back to back wins followed by the death of his father. Later winning the last six official PGA events he played in the year to allegations from the Irish press core about his wife and winning an eight PGA player of the year award.

I often hear from amateur golfers about how training with weights makes them feel “tight†and it ruin’s their golf swing. Traveling on the PGA Tour I disagree with this point of view completely. It is well known that the top players on the PGA Tour; Tiger, Vijay, and Phil workout regularly. They praise the benefits of their workouts in the development of their golf swing. I am a first hand observer of what they do in the gym on the days they play.
In my experience there is one common goal for most golfers looking to improve their game: they want a more powerful golf swing.
I found an interesting article that provides a mathematical model that explains why a golf with a hitter swing, like Craig Stadler, can still create distance compared to the swinger, like Ernie Els. The article is called “A technique for additional clubhead speed“. It is not a light read it does explain why a shorter length swing can generate the same clubhead spped as a normal length swing.
