Two Sundays ago, I was listening to Ian Poulter's post round interview after the Honda Classic. The questions revolved about what went wrong in the final round, when he fell out of contention for the lead. Ian Poulter is a polarizing player and most people either love him or hate him. I used to be in the "hate him" camp due to his antics at the Ryder Cup, but I must admit that I'm starting to like the guy. He's got a lot of swag, and more game that I gave him credit for. Plus he's always oddly flamboyant, which is entertaining. During the interview, I heard a very introspective side to his post round analysis that we all can learn from. In his answers to "what went wrong", he mentioned five or six very specific instances where he said he missed on his "soft" shots, then he detailed the misses. I was very surprised at the attention to detail he noted in the reason for the miss and the detailed ball flight descriptions. It actually kind of blew me away . That was a telling moment for me because I believe that 98% of any other touring pros asked that question would have said something like "I didn't have my "A" game", or "I couldn't get a putt to drop", "my glutes weren't firing", etc. I immediately called a pro that I coach, Chris Carroll, the Pro at Rothlands GC, and had a great discussion about detailed post round analysis. Chris is playing in more professional tournaments this year than he has in the past, and one aspect of his overall game that he's addressing is preparation. There's no doubt in my mind that a very detailed post round analysis will be very beneficial. We agreed on the benefits of taking written notes either during or after each round as a basis for his post round practice sessions. This could be a breakout year for him, and he's working hard at his craft. So here's a tip for anyone else that's sincerely interested in improving their game. After your round, make very detailed notes on your bad shots - including their cause and resulting ball flight - and use them as a basis for your practice sessions. Then watch your handicap drop!

I used to take high blood pressure and cholesterol medication, and I now have normal blood pressure and normal cholesterol levels and take none of those medications anymore. In fact, all of my blood work is perfect. The only change I made to get off these medications was taking my Daily Essentials, and that's not even why I started taking them, it was a side benefit. I started taking it to increase my energy, and it did that too! Why the heck not give it a try?

When you are ready to stroke a short putt, concentrate on hearing it drop in the hole, rather than seeing it drop in the hole. It will keep you from picking up your body and either pulling or swiping the putt. Try it, you'll like it!
