What's the future of PasturePool Golf
Good morning members.
Since the launch of PasturePool Golf in 2003, I have always believed that there should be a simple yet effective way to track golf scores and better my game. With that in mind, I developed PasturePool Golf.
Being a small business, the economy has hit us pretty hard but we have been able to hang on. Unfortunately for you (the members), I have not been able to upgrade our iPhone app at the pace I desire nor add to our course database at the rate that I believe will make us a truly great site. The good news is that is about to change.
In the coming months, we will be adding thousand's of new courses and developing a plan for a major upgrade of our iPhone app. I still think we can offer the latest features and most important - ease of use technology - at the lowest cost. I believe our annual membership fee provides the highest value of any site or tool out there. You may have noticed that in the last year, we overhauled our site design and enhanced our analytic features with new charts, pro comparison tables, and trending. I am always looking for new enhancements and many come from member suggestions like you.
I truly appreciate your business and look forward to many more years to come.
Best,

Can Simplifying Your Golf Swing Help Lower Your Score?
By Paul Luciw
Golf is a great game. However for many who play the game it can be quit complicated and frustrating. This is because they seek to improve their game by taking the traditional route. The traditional route to improvement requires time and money. You must spend hours on the driving range and pay top dollars for instruction to improve your swing mechanics and ultimately lower your golf score. For the average golfer this is unrealistic. Simplifying your approach to golf might be a better idea. This would include making your golf swing more simple.
Simplifying you approach to the game involves a number of things. The first and most important thing is you mind-set. This involves keeping your swing mechanics simple. Do not think of too much as you setup for a shot and address the golf ball. Trying to process too much information before and during the golf swing is a recipe for a bad golf shot. Make sure your stance is correct for the club you are using.
Keep your mind thinking about a slow swing tempo. Do not try to over swing and hit the ball as hard as you can. This is very important because you will not hit the ball as far as a player in the PGA. You are better off just thinking of keeping the ball in play. Keeping your approach to your swing simple will help you achieve this.
Knowing how to keep your golf swing simple will require learning a system how to do this. There are a number of resources that will teach you this.
Best Regards

3 Tips to Improve Your Putting
By Chris J H
Like you I can drive the ball down the fairway, chip it reasonably well (I can get it on the green most of the time), but I have trouble finishing the hole often taking two putts or sometime three. This often inflates my score and leaves me very frustrated. I have had a number of occasions where the putter almost went into the woods or pond. I'm guessing you're in the same boat, heck, that's why you clicked on the article in the first place. Well I'm here to tell you that there is hope for us and I will tell you how. No fancy gimmicks, you don't have to buy anything all you have to do is follow these simple rules.
The first thing is to keep your head down. I often watch most golfers out there and they will strike the ball and immediately look up to see where their ball is going. STOP! Try keeping your head down that few extra second after you strike the ball. What you will find is that keeping your head down will keep your ball on line with the hole and if you lined up your ball correctly you should look up (after keeping your head down for a few extra seconds) and see your ball rolling into the hole. Don't forget to make sure you take the time to line up your ball properly; otherwise this first step will not be of any use to you.
Next, make sure you practice. The magic number for this is 80%. Once you are making 4 out of 5 shots during practice you know you are ready to move on and try a different length. Think about the professionals you see on TV making millions of dollars a year. These guys and girls are very good, sure they may have natural athletic ability, but they still practice. You will find most athletes train six days a week and rest one day a week. I know for most of us this may not be practical as we all work the 9 to 5, but try to get out twice a week on the putting green and practice your technique. If you expect to just walk out there and sink your putts automatically, well you have another thing coming.
The third and final thing is to relax your hands while gripping the putter. Believe it or not this will help keep your club in more control and will allow the sweet spot on the putter to be struck. There is not much more I can write about this, relax your hands and your putting will improve. Think about when you're eating you don't have tight rigid group on your knife or fork, for one it would be uncomfortable and two your hands and arms would start to fatigue. You can apply these principles to your golf game.
Using these tips will not only improve your score, but also contribute to you having more enjoyment out on the course. So remember keep your head down, and relax your group.
