I didn\u2019t really take to the game. I didn\u2019t put in the practice time and wanted instant results. Combine that with a bad temper and for me golf was a world of frustration. By the time I was 18 I walked off the course completely frustrated and disgusted. I didn\u2019t look back and I didn\u2019t miss the game.<\/p>\n<p>Ten years ago I decided to start playing again to spend more time with my wife. Nothing had changed since I quit. Regardless of what I tried my distance was poor and my accuracy was a joke. My first lesson with a teaching pro was the bottom. He kindly described my swing as \u201cvery athletic\u201d. Seeing my swing on video my assessment was more pointed. I looked like a gorilla swinging a club. No matter how hard I tried I just couldn\u2019t get a good swing going, my club head speed was low and my contact was poor. I just wasn\u2019t flexible enough to produce that picture perfect swing we all want.<\/p>\n<p>That weekend I turned on the Golf Channel. I watched a Roger Fredericks infomercial. As a teaching pro and coach his premise was very simple. Good flexibility leads to a good golf swing. Unwinding the coil and transferring weight releases power at the ball which produces a longer drive and better accuracy. Roger emphasized it was all about flexibility to produce good swing mechanics, releasing power at the ball. Club head speed and solid contact equals more distance.<\/p>\n<p>I though what the heck. I ordered\u00a0his course Roger Fredericks Reveals Secrets to Golf Swing Flexibility in DVD. I recieved three DVD\u2019s each one demonstrating\u00a0sequenced stretches designed to generate superior flexibility. The three modules will take anyone in good health from limited flexibility to the flexibility necessary for a good golf swing. All I had to do was bring commitment which I did. Within three weeks I began to see results. By six weeks I was close to a 90 degree shoulder turn. After three months my shoulder turn was past 90 degrees and an almost straight left arm at the top of my back swing. As I unwound and started transferring my weight (Roger covers this in\u00a0his course too) I was swinging a lot faster with a lot less effort. I was adding yards to my driver and other clubs plus staying more on target. It\u2019s been three years since I order Rogers course and I believe it is the best money I have ever spent on golf improvement. I highly recommend Rogers course for anyone who wants to improve their golf game and be able to play better golf\u00a0longer. If I can do it so can you, just do the work which is maybe 20 minutes a day a few days a week\u00a0and you should see great results.<\/p>\n<p>Swing well,<\/p>\n<p>Mike<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My Story I started paying golf when I was ten years old.
