NFL Hall of Famer Makes New Tools for Golfer Fitness

Before there were Exercise Bands, there were ropes and towels. NFL Class of 2003 Hall of Famer Joe DeLamielleure, an Offensive Guard for the Buffalo Bills and Cleveland Browns for 13 years, found that using simple, yet unconventional exercises – mostly old towels and ropes – gave him the flexibility that allowed him to play for all those years and never miss a game due to injury.

Joe developed Joe D Bands™ Golf Training System – combining the strength techniques of a Pro Football Hall of Fame athlete with the flexibility and rotational exercises of a Golf Professional.

Stan Blake, Miami, FL Certified Instructor Ken Martin

I had a hole in one on Friday, May 29, 2009 at the International (Melreese) Course in Miami on the 15th hole-126 yards with a pitching wedge. This was my first and I owe it to your lessons and Natural Golf—what a thrill!! Stan

Ken Martin, Wellington, FL Director of Instruction for Natural Golf

Wednesday, January 7, 2009 in a "friendly game". Hole #11 on the West Palm Beach Golf Course. Howling wind gusting from right to left and against. Distance to hole was 137 yards. I had a very clear picture of a "knock down" 8 iron that would start 10 yards right of the pin and drift with the wind to the hole. I could sense the perfect forward swing path of the club just prior to taking the club back. All came off as planned and I struck the ball perfectly. I bent down to pick up the tee, then glanced up to see the ball on the perfect line, just beginning to drift toward the hole. I put the club in my bag, slung the bag on my shoulder and looked up to the green. The ball was now on its decent, just as I imagined, slightly right of the hole. It hit and spun left and back about a foot...and then rolled right in the hole! Yiiipppppeeeee! Perfect!!!

Maurice Grosby, Summer Glencoe, IL - Winter Delray, FL Certified Instructor Ken Martin

A six year veteran of all golf and Natural Golf, and at the tender age of 74, I had a hole in one on a 126 yard hole at the Glencoe Golf Club in Illinois. A good swing, the ball hit about one foot in front of the hole and bounced in. Registered with Chicago District Golf Association, October 12, 2008. Glencoe Golf Club, 126 yards Hole #12

Irv Milowe, Coconut Grove, FL Certified Instructor Ken Martin

Hi, Sue is swinging well after last lesson. I hit my first hole-in-one today, an 8 iron for a 122' par 3, on an elevated green and into a 15 knot. I think she was as thrilled as I am. A 41. Our thanks, Irv

 Joy Deathe, Hobe Sound, FL Certified Instructor Ken Martin

I HAD A HOLE IN ONE YESTERDAY!!!!! it was play with the pro. day so there were 3 woman and one pro. so that made it a little extraspecial! it was pretty great because it was hit well and going straight for the hole and rolled right in and we could all see it. i have been practicing my aim at approach shots and getting better and better at it...so i give you credit for that. thanks...Joy!

Marilyn Leyshock, Scottsdale, AZ. Certified Instructor Darth Bennett

Hole in one -- "I am an avid Natural Golfer and have referred many people to Natural Golf. I am also a member of your Hole-in-One Group. I recently had a Hole-in-One on February 22, 2008 at my course, Terravita Golf and Country Club, in Scottsdale, AZ. "

Harry Beggs, Certified Instructor Jack Challender

Hole in one -- recorded at Allenmore Golf Course in Tacoma, WA.

Brian Short, Richmond, IN. Certified Instructor Gary Focken.

Great Improvement -- Brian, a barefoot golfer for 30 years, improved dramatically with Natural Golf, shooting in the 70s.

Lana Osmus, Wheaton, IL. Certified Instructor Dave Woods.

Hole in one -- "This March, while playing at Desert Springs Golf Course in Surprise, AZ I finally realized my dream.  On a 91 yard hole, I hit a pitching wedge to the green. The ball looked great in the air and it was "dead on" the target.  It hit the green and rolled up and into the cup!  What a thrill! "

How's Your Mental Golf?

Let’s consider the role a mental profile can play in your game. There are basically four ways you can improve:

1) Technique – improving your mechanics. 
2) Equipment – using the right clubs and balls for your swing. 
3) Golf Fitness – increasing flexibility, strength, balance, etc. 
4) Mental Game – learning to play and practice smarter golf.

For the first three – technique, equipment, and fitness – video, launch monitors and other assessment techniques are used for customizing instruction, club-fitting and fitness workouts. The role of this profile is to provide the same type of personalized information for your mental game.

The system generates personalized information for working on your mental game just as video and launch monitors produce personalized information for working on your swing and customizing your equipment. The profile works great for self-coaching as well as for collaborating with your Natural Golf Certified Instructor. 

The DISC Profile Styles

The DISC system uses “styles” to describe behavioral tendencies. Based on your answers, your mental golf style might be one of the four basic DISC styles or one of the many combination or “blended” styles used in the system. Answers are scored on the Dominance, Inspiration, Steadiness and Conscientious scales. No style is better than any other, and every style has potential strengths and weaknesses. A key principle from the DISC methodology is that a strength overdone can turn into a weakness. The key is to understand your style and how to use it to your advantage. 

Your report is produced in a “workshop” format, with space provided to make notes as you work through your report. This format makes it easy for self-coaching or to review with your instructor.

Following are the areas the profile will have a direct effect on for improving your game:

Golf Temperament - Generate positive energy by understanding and managing your golf temperament tendencies. 
Pre-Round Preparation – Prepare to get your rounds off to good starts by developing a pre-round routine suited to your mental style. 
Thought Processes Over The Ball – Improve your shot making abilities by understanding and managing your particular thinking style. 
Practice Habits – Convert practice time into actual improvement on the course by developing new practice habits. 
Course Management – Save strokes by using strategies suited to your golfing personality. 
Your Learning Style – Learn more with less stress by understanding your learning style when working with instructors, coaches, fitness trainers, etc.

   

We suggest reviewing all of the information and then selecting the key items that will most impact your performance. Perhaps the most effective method for reinforcing these key points is to write them on index cards and put them into a plastic bag you keep in your golf bag. Review these index cards before your practice sessions and rounds and you’ll be delighted with the positive impact this awareness and repetition will have on your performance.

The profile was developed by Bobby Foster, a management consultant headquartered in Columbia, SC. Bobby is a former teaching professional and golf coach at the University of South Carolina where he coached several All-Americans including four players who played on The PGA Tour. He is a Certified Behavioral Analyst specializing in the DISC Behavioral Style Model. He explains the purpose behind the development of the mental golf profile –

“Our company has had great success using DISC profiles in work language to help people improve performance in all types of working environments. Over the years, I’ve often thought about how much better I would have been as a player, instructor and coach if I’d known about the DISC System during that stage of my life. We built this profile in golf language so that players, instructors and coaches could enjoy the same benefits I’ve seen with DISC profiles in the workplace.”
