Fuzzy Zoeller shows why its better to be lucky than good.

As part of a long line of respected golf brands, Callaway Golf recently added a magazine to its roster of golf products. The Callaway Golf Magazine first went to print in the pre-spring season of 2004. The magazine was intended to compliment Callaway's line of golf products, but also to give avid and recreational golfers tips and ideas on how to improve their game. The magazine quickly went on to become an award-winning trade and sport publication and has since gone on to become a high quality golf publication.

The magazine is sent out to Callaway customers and distributed for free at regional golf clubs, specialty stores and also online as a PDF file. Over 800,000 copies are distributed each quarter, and this tiny trade publication has developed a strong cult following because of its top tips and insider articles.

By featuring articles, exclusive content and interviews form golf pros like Olin Browne, Morgan Pressel, Johnny Miller and Phil Mickelson alongside industry professionals and celebrity golfers like Dennis Quaid, the magazine gives a well-balanced approach to golf enthusiasts.

However, it is the tips that keep readers coming back to for more. Using their in-house staff professionals along with pro team members like Annika Sorenstam, the magazine consistently offers helpful tips and easy-to-follow how-to articles.

For example, in its thirteenth issue (October 2007) Julieta Granada gave a full how-to piece on how to play a short Par-3.

A brief sampling of that feature (which you, too, can use for your own game) follows:

1. Right from the tee, Julieta tells you that the shorter distances on some Par 3's make them that much harder.

2. Julieta goes on, suggesting that Par-3 holes are often rife with hazards. So, it's a hole like this where you're going to have to really plan out your strategy right from the tee.

3. Because of the awkward, and sometimes deceiving, distances on Par-3 holes, golfers will sometimes find themselves off the green on a less-than perfect tee and in need of a good chip shot. Julietta suggests keeping a straight line between the leading arm and your club shaft when making a chip shot and letting your hand lead the ball where you want it to go.

4. Julieta also stresses reading the break on a chip and trying to get an understanding of where the ball's going to hit and how the gravity of the break is going to affect that.

Cleveland PREOWNED 588 Gun Metal Wedge w/ steel VERY GOOD Condition

Cleveland 588 Gunmetal Wedge : Tour Action 588 wedges are the industry benchmark for classic wedges Made from 8620 soft carbon steel, these Tour-proven wedges have a traditional shape that promotes great feel for incredible touch around the greens

The Single Plane Swing is a simple way to hit a ball to your target and increase your enjoyment while playing golf. Years of instructional experience have shown me easier ways to communicate this simple swing method, a swing method brilliantly proven by Moe Norman, a Canadian Golf Hall of Fame member, regularly called the World's Greatest Ballstriker (by Tiger Woods, Lee Trevino, and other greats of the game).

For consistent ball striking you have to control three things:

1. Clubface aim at impact

2. Clubhead path through impact

3. Power production without disturbing numbers 1 or 2

Natural Golf gives you a simple way to control all three.

Fundamental #1 - The Natural Hold

To control where the clubface is aimed at impact, we hold the club in a way that aligns the forearms with the clubshaft.

This alignment emulates the dynamic alignment during impact, meaning the clubface will more consistently square to the direction you swing. This way you will have just one thing to focus your attention on when playing golf and that is the clubhead path through impact.

Fundamental #2 - The Single Plane Setup

To control the direction the clubhead is swinging (path), we setup to the ball with our forearms aligned on plane with the clubshaft and upper arms above (on top of) the chest. This way your arms are free to control clubhead direction and torso rotation is minimized, allowing you to swing back and forward on virtually the same path or on a Single Plane.

From here you simply aim and drive the ball to your target!

Fundamental #3 - Drive the Ball to Your Target

We drive the ball with a club the same way we drive a nail with a hammer, using leverage as a power source. Leverage is gained by allowing the wrists to work as a hinge so we can release the weight of the clubhead in the direction we want to drive the ball - primarily powered by a simple independent arm action.

The advantage to the Natural Golf Single Plane Swing is that you can fully release the force of the clubhead past your body (as seen in these pictures of Moe Norman) without the need for turning or twisting. That is because our setup positions you at address where you will most naturally return during the swing through impact, with your arms aligned on plane with the clubshaft. Your body stabilizes as you unleash the power of leverage to the clubhead through impact. Then you simply follow clubhead momentum, turning to a stress free and balanced finish.

So there you have it - With Natural Golf you can...

Control where the clubface is aiming at impact by using the Natural Hold

Control the clubhead path using the Single Plane Setup

Control clubhead speed using the stress free power source of leverage to Drive the Ball to Your Target!

If you haven't already, give it a try!
