Golf : It’s all about the impact position.
I have played the game of golf for years and my handicap hovered around the 18 - 20 mark. Some days I played to a 12 or so then the next time I would come down to earth with a bump shooting in the 90’s. Then one day I picked up a magazine which promised to lower my handicap (don’t they all) so as usual I would read it even though in the back of my mind I knew I was probably lining someone’s pocket in search of a miracle. This article was different though. IT WORKED. So here I am today playing off a handicap of 4 and I would like to tell you what I learnt. Every article you will read about where the club should be half way back, where it should be at the top of the back swing etc. You end up with umpteen swing thoughts and you fall into that famous golf cliché of paralysis by analysis. As a person who is a complete control freak and has to have a logical explanation for everything this was my downfall.
The one swing thought I have today and on every swing is a mental picture of my impact position.
Think about, if you went to a professional for lessons and you had a swing like Jim Furyk, Chris DiMarco or a young Lee Trevino the pro would have a heart attack, but last time I looked they were pretty useful golfers. What they all do well is through the impact zone.
They get the club into the back of the ball and where the club is before that is neither here nor there. If you look at any photo of a pro just before impact he will have his right heel (for a right handed player) off the ground and the club will be behind the ball and his belt buckle will be aiming in front of the ball.
This is a superb position for number of reasons: The club is playing catch up with your body which is accelerating the club head through impact for more distance It cured an ongoing problem of mine which was the dreaded slice because with the core of your body in front of the ball position I found it made it very difficult for the club face to be left open at impact so you make contact with the ball with a far more square face rather than a glancing blow.
With you having your right heel off the ground you know you are transferring your weight onto your left side and not hanging back on the shot and causing blocks, slices and a general lack of power. Probably the best of all is it keeps your swing simple. You don’t go round the course talking to your self about what you should be doing and making things worse.
My one swing thought is to get my navel in front of the ball just before impact which will automatically get my right heel off the ground, showing a good weight transfer and powerful impact position. I don’t know about you but a lot of tips contradict the other but using this simple plan there is no confusing, no collapses after about 10 holes and it keeps your mind clear which means 2 things. You have no negative thoughts which is the root of all bad swings and you enjoy your round far more with a clear head which, after all, is why we play the game. Try this out. I think you will be very surprised.

Tips And Tricks For Phenomenal Winter Fly Fishing
Fly fishers come out in the spring, casting their fishing flies out over water in the early morning sun. Often the streams are crowded not just with other anglers but with swimmers and tubers who scare away the fish. Finding that dream spot on a stream can be difficult but rewarding, and the dedicated fishers continue to cast their lines through the summer and fall.
And when winter comes, that is the time to put away the fishing flies and wait for spring to return. Or is it?
The fish aren't hibernating, so why should the fly fisher? There are fewer people on the river.
The fisher doesn't have to get out at daybreak, since even the fish know better than to be out when the temperature is near or below freezing. Instead, an experienced winter fly fisher will amble down to the river about midday, taking advantage of the brief window of opportunity to find the fish rising in sunlit pools.Winter fishing usually calls for wet flies rather than dry.
The fish are sluggish in the winter and don't want to chase fishing flies, so it's best to drop the fly right in front of their nose. Winter flies often have a brass bead so they can sink more quickly than glass or plastic fishing flies with lower densities.
Motion and color are important when choosing the right winter fishing flies. Materials like rabbit strips and marabou work well, as does anything that will catch the light. White and yellow are good colors, though black and red seem to work well too.
Use a hook with a large gap, such as a scud hook or a size 10-14 singer-style hook.
Sparse fishing flies work better than denser patterns. Nymphs tied to a tapered leader are usually the preferred winter fishing flies. Attach a split shot 10 inches above and a strike indicator far enough up the line to keep the fly drifting just above the river bottom.
Winter fishing requires attention to more than just your fishing flies. Long periods in the cold, not moving, maybe even standing in the water, can bring hypothermia on quickly.
Dress in layers and add more clothing than you think you'll need. Mentally check your hands and feet throughout the day and if you start to lose feeling, it's probably time to go in.
Winter fishing sessions are shorter than in other seasons; as little as an hour or two. Bring along the right fishing flies, the right techniques, and the right equipment and winter fly fishing can add a whole new dimension to your fishing experience.
