  • How many golf tips have you heard? I've heard millions but this is the GOLF TIP THAT CHANGED MY LIFE. It made me look at playing the golf course in a different way and allowed me to take practice drills onto the course easily. The golf tip changed the way I play a golf course and cleared my mind when playing the shot.
    EUREKA GOLF SWING
    For more of Steve's tuition on a personal basis visit

    For a golf swing that is CONSISTENT, provides a flat left wrist, compression, lag and more. Steve's EUREKA GOLF SWING is now being implemented in 52 countries taking the golfers game to a place that allows the body to turn, the flight to straighten and compression to become a reality.
    The starting place is the "iron swing series" offering the set of the Eureka Golf Swing canes and a step by step tutorial of the full action.
    REMEMBER: as Steve says, "There is a difference between opening your stance and aiming left".

    I concentrate on picking my target and then pick a spot in front of the ball that is directly on line with it. Done this for years, and when I occasionally forget I always pay the price. So can fully recommend and endorse your tip. Well done Steve.

  • @GWAIHIRKV
    @GWAIHIRKV 3 года назад +28

    On a similar line, my coach has me doing the following: before the trigger, look at the exact target then as you move your eyes back to the ball, start your swing. That way the last thought before the strike is the target.

    • @rcsib7184
      @rcsib7184 3 года назад +1

      Good advice. Another way of phrasing this is "stare at the target, glance at the ball." The focus should always be on the target, not fixated on that little white sphere.

    A while back I saw a video of tiger woods talking about this concept about how he would picture a tree or whatever his target was. The hard part for me is to keep doing that throughout the round especially after a few bad shots. The mental game is everything. Thanks again.

Recently I have been forgetting to use it but will resume using it as soon as I get back on the golf course. I think Hogan used it also. Love your sense oh humour.

  • @MrLeftyno1
    @MrLeftyno1 3 года назад +1

    Jack Niclaus said if you cant see the shot you have no chance of playing the shot, Harvey Penick was as previosly said was take dead aim, in truth the smaller you make your target the more chance you have of playing good golf, plus if your brain is obsessed with the target it has no room for negative thoughts or fear, good reminder video Steve.

  • @saabtech3510
    @saabtech3510 3 года назад +3

    So important! That's how I got my first hole in one. My friend hit it to 2 feet, and said: "Top that!" In a friendly challenge sort of way. All I remember as I pulled my club from the bag was looking at the hole....the entire time. I landed about 16 inches beyond the hole and the backspin sucked it right back into the hole. It was totally due to my friends comment zoning in my focus. I clearly remember thinking: "To top his shot, I need to put it in the hole." One other point, on those 3-4 foot putts pick out a target as small as blade of grass or spec on the cup. If you miss the spec you actually feel like you missed the putt, but it's in the hole! Plus you will be amazed how often you hit the spec spot on. Great video!

    @mjsgolf7004 3 года назад +1

    A coach told me to pick out a branch at the top of a tree behind the green and aim for it with my driver, He wanted me to be so precise and it works. On another one of our holes I aim for a 1ft wide sign on a tree next to a pond and its amazing how close in line the ball is when it drops from the sky. I've had the ball drop in line with the sign several times, bang on line. It works for me too Steve ! I think its just because it causes you to focus on something positive. Great tip and I've hit the like too !

    • @saabtech3510
      @saabtech3510 3 года назад +1

      Yes, doing as you said, it is amazing how precise drives can be. NEVER hit it at a vague open fairway. Also, whenever I play with someone and they point out the negative, like: "On this hole you want to avoid the woods on the right, or the water over there, etc." I tell them: "No, your last thought is more likely where you will hit it. Pick the spot you want and hit it there."

    • @JP-Lg54

    • @markholdenlanzarote
      @markholdenlanzarote 3 года назад +3

      Yup!! Original tip mantra came from Harvey Penicks Little Red book.

    • @gazz501
      @gazz501 3 года назад +6

      I was thinking the same thing. Little red book is a charming read from a bygone era, though I do think Harvey admired the naturals. I've read plenty of golf instruction books and discarded them one way or another but I still have The Little Red Book. When I started golf it was all about the target. Seem to have lost that feeling and now it's technique and the memory of what can go wrong. Need a reboot.

    • @BenSmith-lm9yb
      @BenSmith-lm9yb 3 года назад +1

      @@gazz501 I totally agree, I have the little red book and the little red video. I love the none technical approach, all very simple instructions and more feel oriented. Very old school. There seemed to be many more natural golf swings and shot makers back then. Now its all very robotic and all very similar techniques. I do wonder how some of the tour players today would get on using a set of Seve Blades, a Persimon driver and Tour Balater ball?

    Bought Penick's book when it came out in 1992. I've used "Take Dead Aim" ever since.....well, to be honest, when I wasn't cluttering my mind with other garbage! LOL But it really does work. The human brain really can figure things out if you don't get in it's way! This is excellent advice....no matter who came up with the concept. Cheers Steve! (excellent content as always!)

    • @GolfQuestChannel

  • @boydgrandy5769
    @boydgrandy5769 3 года назад +2

    What I lack in length off the tee, I make up for (partially at least) in strike and accuracy. I always pick a target, and I always try to put a swing on it that gets me a straight ball right at it. When I was in my 20s, I could bomb the old style wound balata covered 100 compression balls 300 yards, but it was anyone's guess where the ball would end up. Now that I'm almost 70, with the hitch in my giddyup that has accompanied that, I play better quality golf and I really love to play probably more than when I was launching huge drives into the trees...lol
    Great advice, Steve. Wish I had gotten that 45 years ago.

    "Behind the golf ball, Impact" plus "Dead aim", waooh! What a combination! I fully agree with your behind the golf ball-impact-body opens up spine rotation move, to me the best way to whack a golf ball properly with much power and precision.

    Hi Steve,
    I enjoy the quality of the content, production, editing, and style of your videos. Well done.
    About halfway through this video, ready to hit a shot, you briefly verbalized some pre-shot thoughts.
    Besides, "wanted to keep the weight left", your other thought, "I want the body to open up as I look back at the golf ball", resonated with me.
    My lower body tends to stop rotating as I’m hitting the ball. I end up hitting "at it", not through it.
    Your tip gave me a new sense for the proper body timing and positioning to get efficiently through the impact area. Gonna try it out at the range.
    Simple thought tip, but a nugget!
    Thank you sir.
    John
    Just a thought: (if you haven’t already) A video for golfers who fixate on the ball, instead of making a golf swing, may be useful. "What my other body parts are doing while I’m looking at the ball".
    Thanks again.

    @greghill5183 3 года назад +1

    Great idea! If I don't think of anything in my pre-shot routine, I can't execute the shot, but I usually think too much about swing positions when I start my swing. This should definitely help me to simply take dead aim for my full swing!

    • @GolfQuestChannel
      @GolfQuestChannel 2 года назад

      I remember in the book "Golf Isn't A Game of Perfect" it says do not have more than one swing thought on the course (and only have 1 if absolutely necessary). Then, have a conservative game plan and a cocky swing.
