Reprinted Articles

Most golfers would like to improve their golf swing to some degree, but with so many books and guides to choose from how do you know which would be best suited to you. This article takes a look at one such guide which has been very popular in recent times.

The Simple Swing was written by David Nevogt in 2006 and since that time it has been bought by people in over 30 countries around the world. David makes some pretty big claims about what you can achieve by reading his book and putting the techniques in to practice. He says that most people who read the book will cut 7 shots from their game - even more if you’re a high handicap player - and the success rate is meant to be about 95%.

Apparantly the biggest problems that golfers have when it comes to their game are slicing the ball, not hitting the ball far enough or general inconsistency. David decided to try and develop a more simple swing (I suppose less can go wrong if you don’t have as much to think about) that would get rid of these problems for the majority of golfers. He addressed this task in a scientific way and the result was The Simple Swing.

I was introduced to The Simple Golf Swing by a golf partner of mine. We both started golf around the same time (in our thirties) and we were always of a similar standard. For a long time we both used to shoot in the low nineties - not brilliant I know and neither of us had ever even broken 90. And then one day, after not having played together for a few weeks, we played a round at our local club and I just could not believe my eyes.

After the first couple of holes I thought that my friend was just having a good day but when he finished up with an 84 he finally spilled the beans and told me about a new book he had bought - The Simple Swing. He told me he’s been following the advice given in the book over the last few weeks while he practised at the driving range and that it was having a remarkable effect on his game. So needless to say I got my own copy.

In no time I was scoring in the mid eghties - still hadn’t broken 80 - and I was over the moon. I was more consistent and my drives were longer, it was just fantastic. Some of the things that David teaches you seem to be the opposite of what you would expect. One of the these involves a technique which reduces your backswing. This may sound strange but the result is that your drives go further! And there’s also a nifty method which enables you to hit more greens.

There are lots of testimonials on David’s website from golfers who claim to have had amazing results. I have to say I was sceptical, but reassured by the no questions asked money back guarantee if not happy after 8 weeks.

The Simple Swing really is an excellent book and really stands out from the crowd. It is written in easy to understand language and rates a perfect 10 as far as I am concerned.
