New Rules Coach Rick Logo

Mother & Daughter Free clinics and NCGA + EWGA too…  Heck – did I forget anyone?

Seriously,  Get More Skillful, While Keeping Your Unique Style – a great way to learn to love the game of golf.

Sat & Sun 5/12-13 12 noon to 1 PM at Shadow Lakes, Brentwood.  Golfers leave the sport for 1 of the top 3 reasons…

1)  No Time – it just may take to long to get good by pounding hundreds of range balls and spending hours on the range doing so, only to play a 4 or 5 hour round.

2) No Money – at about $10 a bucket of balls and the greens fees, it takes some dough just to be able to get a game going, not to mention the cost of clubs and clothing.

3)  Frustration – it is just a very frustrating act to learn to play golf, if you don’t know what your doing and just trying to copy someone else who looks like they know it…

New Rules of Golf Instruction, and the Golf Hall of Fame, accept that there are different and unique golf styles.  In the Old School Instruction, you may be told and taught that all you have to do is  “To Swing Like…” (you fill in the blank with any pro’s name.)

The New Rules recognizes that Everyone is Unique and we build on what you already have and what you already know.   We transfer your known motor skills to golf skills, following the 9 Standards of Golf Instruction.   This gives you a Complete Game.  With that you learn the skills and drills (frustration) that are much More Effective (money) and More Efficient (time) ways of learning the skills to play On The Course, Where It Matters!

Come to the clinics that weekend and find out for yourself.  They’re Free and it could be the start of a great family activity Without videos or cell phones!  Imagine that !!!

To join the clinic Email or Call Coach Rick – It’s that simple…

I once met a gal, who said “how would you like to go golfing?” Well now she’s my wife and all I do is Teach Golf!   How’s that?  Can you imagine the kind of office I enjoy, when I “go to work”?

I have fun telling that story whenever asked about my golf credentials, but there’s more.  I started golfing in about ’95 or ’96 and immediately appreciated the challenge and the joy of making a great shot.  From my humble beginnings of shooting over 130 for a round of golf , I now enjoy a 3 handicap and have become a PGA Class A and USGTF Certified Teaching Professional.  How did I go from over 130 to a 3 handicap – 60 shots, in a dozen years?  …

Old Rules Golf Instruction

New Rules Golf is the New Standard of Golf Instruction… What happened to the Old Rules?  Is this what you picture when you think of learning the golf swing?  Does it feel like you have to master fifty steps just to swing the golf club?   That’s Old Rules instruction!

Let me ask you, “If handicaps haven’t changed with all the new technology in years, should we golfers continue doing the Same Thing?”  Careful, Einstein calls that Insanity…

UNIQUE

If Everyone is Unique, should we try to make out golf swing like the swing of that great pro?  Is that actually possible to match someone else’s swing exactly?  Can you even get close without frustration?  Are you simply tired of all the effort, time and money spent on the game?

There’s Gotta Be a Better Way – Right?

(Continued on “New Rules Explained”)

Continue reading »]]> Money Approach Shots is all about sending the ball to the target from the fairway, rough, or fairway bunker, to get on the green to make the finishing putt.

I don’t know about you, but when I see the tour pro make that approach shot to the green to stick it close, I say “Now That’s Money”!  If they make the shot everyone applauds and cheers.  If they don’t get into their scoring range, everyone provides a nice quiet golf clap or none at all.   From down thew fairway, where the shot was taken, that’s the best indicator of how well the shot turned out.  So, the Money Approach shot requires: …

Continue reading »]]> SureFire Short Game is all about giving the ball a chance to get in the hole.  This may be from any of many shots around the green.  The key here is Great Execution from the course condition you face.

Why is Phil Michaelson so loved? Almost immediately we think of Phil’s wonderful short game and all the great shots we’ve seen over the years.  It’s almost OK for Phil to lose a tournament as long as he’s making the short shots.

Have you ever had the great feeling of chipping in, in front of your golf peers.  Better than the sound of the ball rattling in the cup, is the walk to pull the ball out when the flag is still in the hole!  Now That’s golfing, baby! …

Continue reading »]]> Perfect putting is all about the ability and confidence to stand over every putt with a no-fear knowledge that you will make it happen – ahead of time, to execute and sink every putt.

I’m sure that when you hear the sound of the golf ball fall into to the cup, you must have felt at one time or another “Now that’s the best sound in the world!”  That emotion at that time is a trigger to help you repeat it again and again!

In order to do that and repeat that time after time, we need: …

Continue reading »]]> Full Swing Fundamentals is all about the tee shot – the Show Shot.  The real objective here is to get it in the fairway – way down the fairway.  But does that mean “Kill it”?  Many say yes and face a tough lie, in rough, in sand or off the course.

The first time I saw John Daly “Kill one” he damn near drove the green almost 400 yards away! Everyone oh’d and ah’d and marched the length of the hole to find it, thinking “surely this has to be in putting distance”. But to the surprise of Not that many, he was off in the rough behind a tree. Hit punch out and two putt left him a par. Boy did I learn from that one!!! …

Continue reading »]]> In Old Rules golf instruction, knowing how to swing a club and following the swing of a great golf professional was enough, to teach others…

Today golfers are asking for much more – more technology, more fitness, more on-course instruction and more mental game approaches so they can play their best On the Course, Where It Matters!

To be a New Rules of Golf Instructor, one has to meet and pass 9 Standards that address every aspects of the game so every students Unique style, build and flexibility id preserved.  Why be forced into the model swing of someone else?

How does your existing golf instructor measure up to these 9 standards?  Click on this link to get the New Rules Instructor Checklist & find out for yourself:

In New Rules Golf Instruction this “Other Secret Stuff” is an integral part of your learning and improving your unique golf swing and golf game.  After all it takes everything we have to get our Best Game going On the Course, Where It Matters! 

When you think about it we are generally more concerned about all the other stuff more so than the swing over most shots.  We generally concern ourselves with Where to go, What club to get there, How to setup for the shot, When we need to hit what club with what swing, before we think about the How to swing. …
