Add 15 more yards to your tee shot in 90 Days

If you want to add 15 more yards to your tee shot-in three months, do what I did. I have a confession to make. Less than 24 months ago, my great friend Harvey Mackay asked me if I wanted to play 18 holes the following week. I had cut way back on my golf both playing and practicing for the past couple of years and I was not looking forward to this round of golf.
By the time I reached the 12 hole he (74 year old) Harvey had outdriven me four times. Harvey was playing to a 9 at the time and he is a great driver of the golf ball. I should say straight driver of the golf ball with an average of 225 yards. If I hit it well I was maybe 15 yards past him. However if I missed the tee shot a tiny bit, I was hitting first onto the green.
When I walked up to the 13th tee, I remember it as thou it was yesterday, I decided that I was going to do something about my golf game. The first thing I needed to do was start practicing and the second thing was to CATCH UP with the game. It was passing me by. The game was changing (getting longer) and I was stuck in neutral.
The next moring I ordered a Momentus Heavy Hittable Driver off of the internet with overnight delievery. I could hardly pick it up. I took it to the range, swung it five times and almost feel over. That is when I decided that I needed to come up with a routine so I could take advantage of my new club.
I decided that I was going to swing the club 25 times, three days a week whether I was at the golf course or not. In the backyard I went every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Once I started using it at the practice facility I then came up with another way to use it. During practice sessions I swung it three times for every six balls I hit. I like to hit three draws, three fades, three straight shots and then three swings with the heavy driver.
On days that I play, I have another routine that I have used for years. I hit three shots with every club in my bag. Now my routine includes swinging the heavy driver one time every time I change clubs.
OK, I know you are dying to hear the results. The only reason I am not going to tell you how much further I am hitting the ball is that everybody is different. The one thing I will tell you is that I am back. I have caught up with the sport and…well ok, I am at least 20 yards further off of the tee and 1.5 clubs longer with my irons. BUT, I have been VERY committed to this process. I have not missed a day in two years.
VERY IMPORTANT REMINDERS:
#1. Warm up before you pick up a heavy driver and start swinging it
#2. Even thou it says it is a HITTABLE club, make 200 practice swings with it before you start hitting balls. You have to get use to it first.
#3. This is NOT an overnight fix for short tee shots. Stay committed to see results.
#4. I added 15 yards in the first three months, I kept going so I can keep what I have!!!
#5. Harvey Mackay (USE YOUR HEAD TO GET YOUR FOOT IN THE DOOR) is a genius at dishing out great business advice. I took advantage of his lesson to me.
Start using a HITTABLE HEAVY DRIVER today and you will add 15 more yards to your tee shot-in three months, like me.
