Hi,I've now set up a free 7 day mini-course that that answers the most troublesome questions for amateur golfers, such as:Why do I find the Golf Swing SO hard? Where does all the club head speed REALLY come from? Why is my practice swing often better than my real swing? How do I hit the ball further without hitting it harder? Where can I find the best FREE advice on how to swing the club? What is the best way to practice? What are the best 3 ways to improve my handicap?You can get this mini-course by visiting http://www.golfswingeureka.comHappy Golfing,Jon
Why, oh why, is the golf swing SO hard?!An excerpt from the book Golf Swing Eureka by Jon BarrettI’ve inserted this section in as I believe it may help you understand why we find the golf swing so hard. Why do we find a move that seems so easy to the professionals so incredibly difficult to perform?Recently I discovered that psychologists believe that we learn differently as adults than we do when we were children. And I believe this may be the key to explaining why we have such a difficult time of it.The large majority of professional golfers will have taken up golf when they were kids – Tiger Woods was swinging a club well at 3! But, I would imagine the majority of amateur golfers took golf up when either in their late teens, early twenties or even later in life – as adults. The psychologists believe that as children we learn from repeating the model that we see – we know that kids are very trusting of what they are told. Yes, they ask lots of questions but they trust the answers given. They see, and are told, and DO.Now as adults we learn differently. We have already formed opinions about how the world is and how things operate. So when we learn something new we actually test it against the rules that we have already built up in our heads as to what is right and wrong.Unfortunately for us, the golf swing is actually illogical. That’s where the problem stems from. In our heads we can’t actually accept or believe that that is how the golf swing works. We then trust our instinct and test it against our rules and go back to what we believe is logical. Here is what is illogical about the golf swing:A Golf Swing without Effort = A Powerful 300 yard driveIt’s been said before that the secret to the pros swing is that it achieves ‘Power WITHOUT Effort – how illogical is that! It’s a bit like saying we’re going on a 200 mile car journey, but we’re not going to turn the engine on! No ones going to believe you. That’s how our brains interpret it – we think there’s no way you can hit a golf ball 300 yards without LOTS of effort.So next time we coil up on the backswing our brain tells our muscles ‘right guys we need plenty of effort if we’re going to send this ball long and straight’. Pro’s do actually put effort into their swings to get the ball to go that far (look at Tiger Woods face just before impact and you’ll see what I mean) BUT they put it in at a completely different point in the swing to amateur golfers.They also know the technique that allows them to produce such great results – and it doesn’t involve power, certainly not how the amateur golfer understands it. Amateur golfers think you need to start the golf swing powerfully BUT the pro golfers know that you put the effort in at the bottom of the swing. If you try and take this point on board this will start the process of adjusting your mind.Over the next few pages I’m going to OPEN your EYES to how the golf swing actually works – much of which us amateurs don’t appreciate. Understanding is the 1st key to unlocking your golfing potential. Towards the end of my book I’ll show you where to get a piece of software that will by-pass your conscious mind and reprogram your sub-conscious mind to believe what you will see and start to understand about how the pro golf swing works. How YOU can swing powerfully without effort.EYE-OPENER No. 2What part of the body contributes the mostto generating the maximum speed of the club head?This single answer allowed me to make a huge leap in my understanding of the golf swing, and in everything I had seen and read about the golf swing none of it emphasised it enough. I carried out a survey on the Internet over several weeks and asked visitors to my web site the question:- What part of the body contributes the most to generating the maximum speed of the club head?Only 20% got the answer correct – That’s only 1 in every 5 golfers! And these golfers had a wide range of handicaps down to single figures. Interestingly this figure corresponds to another golfing statistic - Did you know that only around 20% of golfers have a handicap of less than 18?It made me wonder whether the misunderstanding of the fundamental aspect could be the one thing that is holding so many golfers back. Which part of the body do you think creates the maximum speed of the club head?Is it:ShouldersArmsHandsHipsLegsTorsoWrists(Graphics and explanations omitted here)....So the answer to the question that I posed above is that it is the hands (or wrists) that contribute the most to generating the maximum club head speed. The club is moved through over 180 degrees whilst the arms move through less than 60 degrees – all of the rest of the movement of the head of the golf club is generated by the movement of the hands. Unfortunately the large majority of golfers think that it is with the shoulders and arms. I’ll come back to this point later as even when you get everything else right in your swing this can be a real good swing killer!Find out the details and much more in Jon's Eye Opening ebook: Golf Swing Eureka Jon Barrett WAS a frustrated golfer and has studied the golf swing for 5 years in search of the information that would make his scores tumble but without success...

Hi,
The First Chapter of a New Book
Firstly, I must offer you my apologies. I may have told you that I would send you a copy of my golf book but unfortunately I have not been able to commit as much time to completing it as I had hoped. So, it's still a few weeks away.
However, I've decided to get out to you the first chapter that is finished.
It details the first, and possibly the most, significant step towards a consistent, repeatable and powerful golf swing.
I went to 'The Open' at Troon last year and being within close proximity of the worlds top golfers made me realize a fundamental aspect of the golf swing.
The question I answered was…
What's the difference between the Professional and amateur's Golf Swing?
When you visit the web page below you will not only see the answer, you will see proof of it in the videos that you can download.
Have a look at the web page and let me know what you think.
I will continue working on my book and if need be will send you it chapter by chapter as I complete it.
There are essentially three parts to my book:
1. Eye Openers - The things that led me to major advances in the understanding of the golf swing - understanding brings enlightenment.
2. Making the Changes - How to make your swing more like that of the Pro's
3. The Golden Rules of the Golf Swing - The things that you absolutely MUST do if you want a consistent, repeatable and powerful golf swing.
Well, here's the link to the first chapter:

Happy Golfing, and remember please give me some feedback and I'll do my best to rush you the next chapter.
Thanks,
Jon
