Why Keep a Golf Diary?
If you are serious about playing golf, without question the single
most important step you can take to improve is to keep a golf diary.
A serious golfer, whether they are new to the game or a scratch
player, must learn from their mistakes to play better.
Bruce Baird
has, over the last twelve years, taught hundreds of golfers how to
improve their golf game. Most students at his golf schools arrive
with only a vague understanding of the mistakes they typically make
on the golf course. Golfers tend to focus on the golfing skills they
do well…! Bruce Baird’s online Golf Diary gives golfers at any skill
level the ability to track and analyze 12 scoring statistics and 15
separate golfing skills so they can identify where they need to
practice to improve. We think once you start tracking these golf
scoring statistics and skills, you too will understand the value of
keeping an online Golf Diary.

Why You Need a Golf
Coach!
Have you ever wondered why a
professional golfer, for example like Tiger Woods, would work
regularly with a golf coach? The answer is simple, really: he wants
to improve in the weak areas of his game. Although it is hard to
understand how the best player in the world wants to improve, much
less thinks he has weak areas of his game, it is true. All of us, no
matter what our skill level, can improve with some professional
help.
If you are interested in
improving your golfing skills and lowering your score you should
hire a golf coach. If you can’t afford to hire your local golf
professional the next best thing would be to enroll in the Telephone
or Email Golf Coach program. Bruce Baird’s California Golf Schools
provide experienced golf coaches who will work one-on-one with you
to evaluate your golfing skills and develop a plan to help you get
to the next skill level.
Email Golf Coach Program
The Email Golf Coach program is a great way for busy people to work
with a golf coach. The Email Golf Coach program is simple and
affordable. Once you enroll you are assigned a professional golf
coach who works with you by email to help you analyze your present
golfing skills and helps you create a plan to help you improve in
the weak areas of your game.
You and your golf coach
communicate with each other by email once a week. Your golf coach
has access to your online golf diary reports so he or she can review
your reports and help you analyze your strengths and weaknesses.
Your golf coach will then help you develop a practice plan that will
improve the weak areas. Six months of the Email Golf Coach costs
only $60. That’s just $10 a month.
Telephone Golf Coach Program
The Telephone Golf Coach program is similar to the Email Golf Coach
program, but with one major difference. Once each month you and your
professional golf coach have a 30 minute call to talk about your
game and answer any questions you may have. The Telephone Golf Coach
program also uses email communication on a weekly basis to put in
writing the practice plan and any tips or suggestions that your
coach makes. The Telephone Golf Coach only costs $30 per month and
is a great way to develop a personal relationship with a golf
professional.
