My entire professional life has been dedicated to helping golfers across the world reach their desired goals with the game of golf. I also have a passion for educating golfers/instuctors and about the importance of mental wellness, awareness and compassion along with physical training to keep their bodies/minds internally and externally healthy... elitegolfperformance.net.
Rory Mcilroy- he typically goes crazy low on Thursday and struggles on Fridays and as we know steadies the ship to usually win big events
Dustin Johnson- Most physically talented player in the game and is trending to win and I believe he's playing with a focus now more so than ever before.
Justin Rose- Always has a good chance to win if the winning score does not get past double digits. Great day in day out ball striker and player. Putting will tell the truth about his play this week IMO
Martin Kaymer- Trending every week of high level play. Has the go to fade every shot and has that championship short game to go with it.
Sang Moon Bae- Great swing and player that is trending as well. This is a ball strikers course and this man is just that and a lot more. Experience may determine play, but if not I believe he will be right there
Russell Henley- Main reason is because I believe in patterns and he's the defending champ and this confidence will return as soon as he arrives to tee it up Thursday. Last year opening day he shot 64, who knows he's a great putter and streaky player which proves on the PGA Tour to be a great combo
Just like the golf swing there are many philosophies and ways to make it work for the athlete.
However, some exercises are more popular than others. The classic isometric lifts are long gone and the reason why in the past so many Tour players steered away from iso lifting were it lead to tight ans tuck together muscles that lead to poor performance on the course.
The reason so many players train now is not really that it makes the feel better, but #1 is because they play on the course better. If you are training properly the golfer will feel it working in their swing naturally within two weeks. Which in turn leads to more confidence and the desire to do more and more to build the machine.
DO and or add these 5 exercises three times per week for. Do the amount of reps and the time that's best suited for your fitness level. Every golfer should be using these exercises below
Stay away from heavy lifts, look for functional training in your area and go try the gym. There are so many great gyms now that can really help golfers improve on and off the course. Just make sure they are teaching functional training for athletes and you will be in good shape.

Here's a workout from our training center that shows how we train our athletes
Rory Mcilroys secret is exactly the same as all the other top level PGA Tour ballstriking masters and that is he found a swing that worked for him, but also that created the desired ball flight and repeatability that he visioned. Now I know that answer is not sexy and is something that many people don't want to hear, but one thing it is for certain is it is the truth. The man has extreme talent and his parents choose to surround him with influences and a team that would build this talent and direct his focus into the right direction
To think that Rory Mcilroy has 1 secret that makes him this elite champion in Golf to me is borderline insanity. This man has so many tools that effect his performance on a day to day basis such as mental training, fitness, diet swing, short game, putting, strategy ect... It's a combination of so many performance enhancing tools that makes up these Top level players. So you will never hear me say it's a golf swing secret that makes Rory dominate and hit the ball great, because it's simply not the truth
If you're a player that's working hard and not getting better at golf it's probably that you have bought into this underground world of golf instruction of theories, ideas, technology, training aides, angles, pressures swing plane ect and this is the sure fire way to either limit any positive progression or causing a breakdown of a talented or high level player. All this underground stuff is just simply mumbo jumbo junk that does not work, but it for some reason is very sexy to golfers especially the thinking golfer and man that is a really bad combination.
Just remember this think like an athlete or like a warrior which is your job is to get better everyday in all the aspects that produces results and helps you achieve the small little goals on a daily basis. You don't have to know the hows and whys of everything, all you have to do is compete, reflect, adjust and find your secret that makes you a great well rounded player.
Mind- Think for goals, grit, strategy and scoring
Body-Play and swing as an athlete without thinking "Play Big"
Spiritual- Believe in yourself under any and all stressful or doubtful situations. Believe you are destined to do it
Emotionally- Contain or rid yourself of the great or ugly stuff and understand how to feed yourself what you need to get the job done
Intuition- Believe in your first instincts on the course where there is possible doubt and also the toughest is being able to change negative intuition on the course, that's when your a master of you are mind...
Go to elitegolfperformance.net to learn more about what we do and how we teach the Road Map that all the great players go down. We teach players to become well rounded and to play the best relative to their talent level
This is a great image to start the swing for ANYBODY.
As most people know I'm not a backswing teacher I'm the Downswing And
Timing Teacher, but this a great way to swing the club away. This in
general should be a smooth full Body movement of both the lead and rear
sides and the wrists should not be active in any way, just neutral and
soft as the club swings away
This is about the most you we ever see me talk about the backswing, why? Because there's a million ways from Sunday to make a backswing and recover and be a master ball striker. Even this illustration really is the same, but I do believe it's a great image after you've developed Timing
This as we all know we not make you a ball striking master, however if you have good timing in general this is a great move to add into the swing. Timing is king and to learn more about timing go to elitegolfperformance.net

It was a day of that challenged all the players mental grit and physical talents, today was a day that you had to have both. I predicted to start the week that Dustin Johnson would win this week and he was so close to making that happen, but James Hahn took him down with 20-25ft putt in the playoff.
The leaderboard was all over the place throughout the day with every leader having problems closing the deal due to conditions in general.
Here is a list of players to pay attention to in the upcoming weeks IMO
Rory Mcilroy
Jason Day
Dustin Johnson
Bubba Watson
JB Holmes
Ryan Moore
Jim Furyk
Sang Mon Bae
Go to elitegolfperformance.net to learn more about what we do and who we are...
I said yesterday that I believed Dustin Johnson, Bubba Watson and Jordan Speith would make a move over the weekend and I also said I don't think the score will get to 11 under or lower...
DJ is now in a tie for 7th going into Sunday
Bubba is now in a tie for 7th going into Sunday
Jordan is now in in a tie for 7th going into Sunday
These players are currently four under and the leader is at 8 under par.
I still believe the winning score will not get past 11 under. The leaders will be trying to keep it between the lines to hold on to their leads, this leaves a great opportunity for the players sitting currently at 2 under to have a chance to make a run today and if they can go low say 6 or 7 under there's a possibility of winning this Tourny.
My front runner pick GD
My mid range pick is DJ
My long shot is Ryan Moore
It will make for interesting TV today with the way the course is set up and along with how the players are stacked up. The leaders probably won't runaway and some players from the back will make runs at certain points in the round to make it really fun to watch...
I look for Dustin Johnson, Bubba Watson and Jordan Speith to work their way up the leaderboard over the weekend. This golf course always plays like a US Open setting putting a major emphasis on ball striking, shot making and patience. Regardless to his is actually making a run to win this title I will say who ever does it will be setting themselves up for a tremendous amount of confidence for the entire year of 2015
The greens are elevated and have on many holes 4 point runoffs which make chipping and pitching very difficult in general. Missing greens will happen with the leaders, but where you miss and how big your misses are will be very important. The greens will become bumpy and quick over the weekend making for confusion, frustration and an emotional rollercoaster/exhaustion with all the players
I don't believe the leaders will get to 11 or 12 under par this week, but my opinion really does not matter that much because these are the best players in the world and if they get hot they can do amazing things which in turn could lead to a low score of double digits, I personally just don't see it though. I believe the winning score will be 9 under or 10 under at the most pending on how tough they set the course up for this weekend.
I would have to have liked to seen Jason Day play this week because he has a game that would I believe put him in great position to win his second title of the year. I do understand players schedules are made well before the year starts nowadays, but I bet he wishes he was playing this week with his confidence and game in general with the leaders after two days only at 6 under par. All speculation, but I'm kinda curious if that's what he wold be thinking too or if he's content waiting until next weeks event.
I hope you enjoy the the golf tournament and we will see how this all plays out as the GRIND BEGINS

Most golfers with the mindset of truly wanting to get better fall into these traps that have proven over the last 40 plus years to completely limit a golfers success. These golfers have the right outlook, but really miss the boat on developing their games properly
#1 They become what we call RANGE RATS this is where the golfer goes and hits 100's or 1000's of balls a day on the driving range trying to grind it out and figure it all out... These golfer absolutely are hard workers and they believe that through hard work the miracle will happen, WRONG...
#2 The golfers read every magazine, book or youtube video of the latest and greatest way to play your best Golf.
#3 The golfers study and try to become a swing plane master and make their swings look so called perfect on video. This leads to confusion and lack of success.
#4 The golfers Don't set specific goals relative to what they are trying to achieve overall. Most set swing goals ect. The pros set scoring goals and competition goals...
#5 The golfers don't play golf anymore they play golf swing. The history of the game shows when golfers play golf swing that the player will fail it will impair their ability to improve and usually ends up in frustration.
Well if you know anything about me or elitegolfperformance.net you will know that we teach downswing and downswing only...
Ask yourself what hits the ball backswing or downswing?
Logic wins, downswing.
#1 They know they are going to attack the ball with their body and more importantly their hands as soon as they move into transition. It's an attacking feeling and all Tour players do it whether they know it or not.
#2 They always squash the ball and they understand it's importance of applying pressure against the ball with their hands and body
#3 They find the slot in their downswing, that makes their swings work. The slot is a pretty grey area overall from Sergio to Mickleson is a wide range as far as downswing plane is concerned. The players will find what works best for them and you should as well. The history of the best ball strikers will show and more black and white downswing plane, but overall it's a grey area especially for amateurs.
#4 They know how they want to move their bodies in order to coordinate between the club and body on the downswing
#5 Their very limited in their swing thoughts in general. Most will tell you that they just turn bak and turn through. This usually bothers teachers and amateurs, but it's the truth. Golfers are looking for more and can't believe it can be that simple... Develop automatic hands and get your slot right and you will understand what I'm talking about.
Build your downswing properly and you will play better golf
