Morrie Plays A Long Par 5

Mike — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 01:04:08 +0000

It’s a very windy day at Dove Valley Golf Club, and Morrie was stuck in traffic for an hour to get up here. Remember, it’s 6:30am when we shoot this, and Morrie is only doing our First Tee Warm Up, hitting a couple of balls, and then the camera turns on.

Watch as he hits a great drive, excellent second and third shot.

As always, I invite any and all comments below, so chime in

Fun Charity Golf Event Here In Phoenix

Mike — Sun, 23 Nov 2008 02:04:29 +0000

I played in a very fun charity golf event here in Phoenix at the beautiful Legacy Golf Club. We had a great time, and tied for third, although the first 2 placing were a bit controversial, but we won’t go into it. I was invited to play in it with a good friend of mine, Rick Baker, who is starting up what is going to be the valley’s top golf-only magazine. You can check out his website that is being redone over at Scottsdale Golf Monthly.

I am fortunate enough to be Rick’s Golf Swing Biomechanic expert, and will be writing an article to help golfers with different facets of their game each and every month. I’m looking forward to the journey with Rick’s magazine. I’m sure it will be a fun one.

On a side not, I won a “closest to the pin” on a par three, and so did my golf buddy David Wetter, who is to my left in the picture above. Rick is the big, tall guy in the back

Morrie Hanging In There

Mike — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 02:51:48 +0000

Morrie had a tough week with a slight pull in his lower back. Wasn’t able to do much with the exercises, but did get out and play. He’s got a newfound range of motion, so it’s throwing off his timing with his mid to short irons, so even though he’s seeing a big increase in distance, he’s now mishitting them.

So with a continued effort with his training, and a few visits to the range with his irons, he’ll drop even more strokes, and he’s already down12-14 in ONLY 4 weeks.

Monday’s With Morrie - He’s Back!

For those of you following Morrie, we missed last week due to schedule conflicts, and this past week Morrie was under the weather…but he’s back and moving forward. Morrie is finding out interesting things with his golf swing as his body improves.

I hope you enjoy it and by all means, comment below to either show your support and just “chime in”.

Morrie’s Getting Better

This was such a fun episode watching Morrie play a par 4 at my local course. Watch the video to see how it came out, and to see how Morrie is doing with his golf improvement program. I am REALLY enjoying working with him and watching his progress. He is becoming a “believer” in my methods, so take note and maybe, just maybe you’ll become one too

Golf Swing Is AROUND Your Body

Mike — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 01:08:17 +0000

My teaching pro, and I had a revelation a couple of days ago, and I truly think it’s going to change my golf swing and golf game forever!

I have taken thousands of dollars of golf lessons, and not until I met my current instructor have I been able to fix my very steep downswing, and lack of hip clearance through impact. Within ONE lesson with him he saw my swing and gave me a tip that changed my swing forever. Then he had me watch some youtube videos of specific tour players to drill it home.

All this time I had viewed, studied and obsessed over the top touring pros like Tiger, Adam Scott, Stuart Appleby…but from the WRONG angle, and I had been misled to thinking the downswing was a real prevalent “down” move from the top. My teaching pro quickly got me to swing AROUND my body and OMG (oh my god) I had NEVER felt my hips clear so easily, and the compression I got on the ball.

This picture is my teaching pro Bobby Eldridge of Pure Point Golf.

Bobby has a private membership site that is the MOST awesome site I have ever seen, and I should know because I have a private membership site for golf swing biomechanics (including strength, flexibility and drills), so I am a good judge of what’s good or not.

Bobby’s knowledge of the golf swing is unmatched! I am SO excited I found him, and we are going to be doing some VERY cool things together in the near, near future.

I am now a madman with my golf swing !

I have been hitting balls EVERY day with this “around my body” swing and it feels SO GOOD!

Monday’s With Morrie - Getting Longer

Mike — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 11:33:41 +0000

We’re making some great progress with Morrie. Today we dug a little deeper with him and gave him some more tips and simple drills to get even more yards, but the exciting thing as you’ll soon see in the video is Morrie is “already” seeing about 10-15 yards on his drives and it’s ONLY been 2 weeks, since we’re on week 3 now.

That’s pretty amazing!

Goes to show you that depending on your starting point, with the right approach you can see great improvement and FAST!

Enjoy the video and by all means leave your thoughts or comments below

Monday’s With Morrie - On The Range

Mike — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 02:48:28 +0000

I finally got to see Morrie’s golf swing. As I mention in the video, he has no problem hitting it straight, we just need to get him some more yards with every club, and after watching him hit some 7 irons and drivers, I’m confident we can get him there.

Morrie is also keeping a journal to not only hold himself accountable, but to really watch and learn his emotional connections to his game, fitness and overall health. This is something all of us should be doing consistently.

I invite you to insert your comments below, whether it be words of encouragement for Morrie, or questions you may have. I was pleased with the responses to the first video, but I’m hoping the word will spread and the following will grow. There are a lot of Morrie’s out there who need help, so hopefully we can accomplish that!

Monday’s With Morrie

This is a golf swing transformation (journey) with Morrie Puzzi. Morrie’s story may sound familiar to you and I hope you follow along as we take Morrie’s golf swing and game to a whole new level via my golf training approach. Morrie states his goals in the video so be sure to see what they are.
I also encourage you to comment below with any thoughts, resonations or feedback.
I hope you enjoy this 10 week journey with Morrie and me. Grab a cup of coffee or your favorite beverage and enjoy this VERY real golf story!



Mizuno MP-57 Irons So Sweet
Mike — Sun, 21 Sep 2008 00:14:40 +0000
I was talking to a buddy (golf pro) of mine, and told him I am hitting all my irons off the toe. He took one look at my swing and said my clubs don’t fit. I didn’t even think about getting fit for them when I bought them 3 years ago. Little do I know eh? Well…I just got fitted and believe it or not I am 1/2″ over and 2 degrees upright. 
When I hit that particular fit I was hitting the center of the phase EVERY time…Yay!!!
I also was told I am too good of player to be playing the clubs I had (nice sell job right?). I fell for it, and started hitting irons this store had. BTW…if you ever get a chance to check out a PGA Superstore…do it! What an awesome store!
Well…do you want to know what I got?

I got the Mizuno MP-57 Irons! What a sweet looking and awesome feeling golf club!
The ONLY bummer is I had to get fitted as I mentioned above, and they are supposed to arrive in 5-7 business days
