Reaching Par

Frugality is an interesting word and there is a fine line between smart and thrifty use of money and down right cheapness.  Well, I’ve never been great a distinguishing that line so I end up on the stupid cheap side waaaaay too often.  Combining that with my gullibility that I can really “lose 30 strokes in 30 minutes”  and I have an interesting menagerie of golf self help purchases and explorations under my belt.

Tao of Golf - I actually have the VHS tape somewhere in my basement.  I honestly can’t remember if I learned anything from this video.  I thought it was decent enough, but I didn’t improve my game over night.

Howtobreak80.com - I signed up for the email when it was free, but they started adding pay for DVDs and I never paid for them or got them.  Maybe that’s why I never learned their secrets… ”These Powerful Secrets Are So Simple And EasyTo Learn, You Can Have Them Down In Just One Hour!”  Man, these are tempting!

I signed up for email from a guy out of Australia who gave some great no-nonsense advice but he stopped doing his blog and eventually I dropped the list.

I have watched YouTube on several people including Jaacob Bowden and his Swingmangolf.com  site (I haven’t paid for the subscription), Dan Shauger, Rotarygolf.com.

Now, I am anxiously awaiting the MCS from DJ Watts to see what his latest effort will entail.   Hmmm…you’d think with all of this that I’d be a better golfer…Nope!  I think it comes down to a lot of practice before any of these really help…  Then again, maybe if I actually paid for the programs I might get something out of them!!!
