Surge's Prescription For Tiger Woods

Great to here from you, Dick. The blog was getting a bit low on food network rednecks. ;-)

What type of equipment did you use to measure that nano-second and how much Tiger lifts his club during that period of time? Do you even understand how short a nano-second is?

On another note, would you please turn off your caps-lock on your keyboard? Typing in all capital letters is considered shouting and extremely rude. Thank you for your kind understanding.

Welcome back, Dick, you have been missed. Hope your round this morning is a good one,I've missed my favorite Okie! Glad to hear the boys are safe.
Semper Fi!!!

Or to his upcoming three-day golf school at Orange County National near Orlando. Dates are November 7, 8 and 9 and feature over 28 hours of video analysis and hands-on instruction from Don. Call Debbie Bragg, golf school administrator, for details. (864) 285-0318.

Everyone who does this course comes away playing far better golf...

Old, does not necessarily mean junk. Many older, well maintained vehicles, are actually better than some newer models. Many, if you have the right ones are actually quite valuble if well maintained or restored. The same applies to houses.  

Welcome back,stranger.  Hope all is well in your world.  You better hit em straight and long tomorrow, because you know how we feel about getting bad reports. ;0)

Actually, Alan, I care, along with many other people who feel a moral calling to help those in need. Tiger has lots of problems, including his moral compass, as you point out. However, he does not deserve to be thrown away with the trash. If anything I can say or do will help him to recover, then I feel obligated to try. I would suggest that you are also in need of therapy. I have gotten and am getting mine.

Really?  You have got to be kidding me?!  He is in perfect position at the top of the follow through in the "T" finish and ready to recoil.  His torso is dead straight down target line.  If he had over turned the sternum and belt buckle would be pointed well left of target. Locked left knee?  Don't think so.  Look at the hips.  They are perfectly level and he is well over on the left side. If the left knee was indeed locked as you say, the left hip would be a touch higher and the weight would be going towards the back and creating an inverted "C".

I really don't understand the comment!

T:  You are SOOOO right.  Thanks Pal :-)  R2

If you look at the bottom of each email you receive daily, there is a link that provides just what you're asking for.  Look at the bottom of the email (below where it says "Change your email preferences").  There is smaller text that says, "Click here to forward this mailing with your personal message." Click that link and you are able to send it to whoever you like.

If you can't find that, all email providers/clients (Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, Outlook, etc.) have a "Forward" option for every email you receive.  They are generally located at the top of the email near other options such as "Reply" and "Delete." Hit the forward button and you'll be able to forward it to whoever you like.

For those who are not subscribed to receive daily emails, another alternative would be to simply copy the URL of any daily blog page and insert it into an email that you wish to send.  For example, you would "COPY" "http://www.swingsurgeon.com/Da..." and then "PASTE" that directly into the email.  As is typical with most email clients, once you paste this URL into the body of the email, it will automatically become a clickable link when you send it to your friends.  Then all they have to do is click the link when they open the email and it will take them directly to the daily video.

Of course you can always direct your friends to this website and have them fill out the form at the top right portion of the screen that's labeled "Free Golf Tips!"  This way they can subscribe to receive daily or weekly emails from The Surge, thus building the Surge Nation as well as negating the need for you to forward them the emails that you receive.

Thank you and good luck,

Geesmagm,

 Agree with most of your comments. Golf is certainly bigger than any one person, and you are right it does not need Tiger, However, it will and does definitely benefit from the past efforts of Tiger, and will continue to benefit even further from ALL future endeavors of Tiger. Just the fact that so many have commented here shows the undying interest still remaining in Tiger. TV ratings will jump this week, simply because he is playing. If he makes it to the weekend, Sat and Sun ratings will be much higher. People love to watch him contend, and Some People love to watch him fail, but either way, they love to watch and follow his exploits. The only bad press is NO PRESS.

 It should also be noted, For what ever reason, whether personal notoriety, or actual caring, HE HAS done an extremely lot of charitable help to under privileged children. And his golfing has made major improvements to the incomes of hundreds of fellow golfers.

   Love him or hate him, he has definitely made major differences for the better in thousands of lives. How many people can we say that about.

I have never posted here but have been following you for 2yrs and have the videos and manual.
I am a 8 handicap and have won my club championship 2 years in a row. Thank you for all the hard work you put into this website.

I have been having a problem lately with my driver I generally hit my driver 240 and keep it in the fairway 80% of the time. I have been hitting it lower than normal lately and loosing about 15 yards distance do you have any suggestions .

I hope I did this correctly

Thank you Dave!  Amazing how some people are just never ever happy with free tips.  Not much else we can say!!  R2

   And don't forget Soloman either.

Don't get me wrong, Tiger has made mistakes.  But who hasn't?  It's easy to say you'd never do what he did, but how do you really know what you would do in his position?  I've always said, it's easy not to cheat when you don't have any options.  As for his moral compass, I wonder how many MILLIONS of dollars Tiger has donated to charities and foundations over the years.  It's gotta be up there.  Oh, and tiger only played in 6 tournaments this year and is still in the top 125 on the money list.  There's guys out there who have played over 25 tournaments and still not in the top 125, so I don't think his results have been too bad when compared to everyone else.  Tiger will find his way and who knows, he may get paired with Rocco at the Frys.com open and that could ignite some magic and good vibes from the 2008 U.S. Open.....

fyi...Do you know who finished 4th at the U.S. Open the year of Rocco and Tiger's duel??

None other than DJ Trahan!

No it isn't. There is no knee snap. DJ is finished in that picture. He is standing on the left leg and his body is more or less square to the target. His hips are square. That is about as relaxed as it gets right there. We can turn our knee and hips but not past the point of resistance.
DJ is NOT rotated past square with his arms over his left shoulder or farther and heavy causing stress or over rotation.

Dear Sir
Okay maybe 80% is stretching it a little. I did play 4 yrs college golf. I am 26. I play in money games all the time my boy friend just left me because I was taking to much money from in his skins game with his buddies every weekend and he has helped me with my swing lately but now I am stuck a little having driver problems.

I think I read some were you said something about playing LIL Mole is that the one in Mentone Al.

I have some friends that live in Mentone that I went to college with and visited them 2 months ago and we played Lil Mole I shot a 70 their,

A message for Eldrick Tont Woods:

Tiger, the golfing world wants to see you get your body back into healthy shape so that you can get back to playing the extraordinary golf that we have become accustomed to over the years.    It saddened me to hear that you have recently dropped out of the top 50 in the golf rankings after many years as #1.

Please, please, please go see Don "Surge" Trahan and spend thirty minutes with him to pick up the principles of the Peak Performance Golf Swing.    Do this so that you can buy time while your body rehabilitates and you also can play top level golf.    

After say 12 - 18 months when you body fully recovers you may then go back to your old swing if you want.    However it may be difficult to give up the new found FIR's and GIR's let alone getting back to wreaking your body for dubious gain.

Yours sincerely and with kindest regards, Craig Sadgrove

Roy,

Actually, there is a LOT MORE we could say, but probably shouldn't. It would just fall on the deaf ears of narcissistic people. Why worry!

Dick:  We've missed you!!!  Glad you're back and good luck on your round tomorrow.  As always, hit 'em straight!  R2

With camera angles, it's almost impossible to see every aspect of position with the right perspective. His left foot doesn't look very flared though :-).

I just got back online after some weeks absence without internet access. I missed the daily vids and comments and the Surge show broadcast is great.

If anyone is looking for winter golf reading, I stumbled across an old paperback titled  "Six Days to Better Golf" by Obitz and Farley published in 1977. That's back when they still were teaching a more vertical swing as Surge stated in his recent show. About 70% of it could have been written by the Surge and supplements his teachings well. If you overlook the obvious differences such as knee position and  full rotation, it's full of drills that emphasizes swinging and not hitting. That being my major problem ( and the problem for a lot of us), I think the book will be a quite useful addition.

Sir I tried that yesterday and its not the problem I am losing them to the right a little also

I must need therapy, because I'm thinking you are a horses ass, too stupid to actually understand much of anything, let alone just how much Tiger Woods has actually given to the golf industry at large, and to hundreds if not thousands of under priviledged kids. What a loud mouth ignorant horses ass you are. Just my opinion though.

Hello Dick,
Glad to hear from you pal. We have missed you. For Jalepenos have had to rely on Terry, Steve and Jack and the boys. We have missed your down home Okie charm and firey responses. Happy to hear you're still kickin ass and playin' golf.

Not questioning your culture. Was talking about Tigers culture. I'm sure this rich old guy is rare you speak of. Still doesn't answer the question we'll never have an answer for. How we might fair if we truly were raised in Tigers place. It really has nothing to dowith how we think we'd fair. We can only speculate. This is only speculation. Anything we say in our present 54 year old bodies(or whoever and where ever) and life is based on the life we've had and yes our environmental culture, upbringing and genetics too. Don't misunderstand me. These comments are not questioning how you would do. It's more about how the average good man would do with the same opportunities.(King David was far from average). Of course there are always acceptions to the rule.

I'm all done. Feel free to have the last word:)
Looking forward to the webinar tonight with Surge.

Don,

I enjoyed your suggestions to Tiger Woods.  However - do you think he will be able to hit the ball as far with your swing as he does with the huge swing that we normally see him use?

Incidentally, I am 75 and hitting the ball 20 yards farther and straighter than I have hit it since I started playing at 63 - thanks to your swing.  Consistency is the challenge but I am still aiming at shooting my age!

Best wishes

Colin MacCallum

dude, you realized these dailies are FREE!!!!  Buy his DVD's for goodness sake.  These dailies are not for base instruction, but to supplement his DVD's.
