The Best Ever Ball Marker??

Gary Player once famously said "the harder I practice the Luckier I get"
which was adapted from a quote from US President Franklin D Roosevelt who said
"the harder I work the more luck I seem to have "

Both of  the above statements are true  however

I was having coffee the other day with friend, a former touring  professional  & discussing raising some money for  The Sick Children's Trust. 
While waiting for my coffee at the counter , I spotted  Bill a  member of a local club I had hardly  seen in the last few years as he has all but given up golf as his eye sight had worsened over the years (he is in his 80's)
As we talked , he produced a couple of ball markers to give to me & my friend
(he carries them in his pocket everywhere!)

Simple & To The Point , This Ball marker is a great reminder to all of us  that,
even if we are playing badly ......

"The More We Notice ... The Luckier We ARE"

World Number 1  Golfer  Lydia Ko  
 observe ,caddy for & interview Lydia Ko during a social game at Moor Park. 
Sometimes it can be difficult to relate to the worlds best players , however there are some Simple Ideas   You &  I can learn by observing carefully the very best golfers.

3  More Observations  of  Lydia's Golf   which you & I  can learn  from & apply!

1. Use The Tee Box correctly  -  Take Time to Find the Best Place  on the Tee to put your ball.
If there are nicely cut lines in the Grass (as Above pic) and they line up to where you want to hit , then use these as guides to help with your alignment (the worlds best players do this) - as it helps makes lining up much easier!
2. During the game  Lydia backed off a number of shots as she was not comfortable over the ball - if you stand over the ball feeling uncomfortable , it is extremely unlikely you will hit a great shot -  don't feel afraid to walk away - and start the set up routine again - you will hit better shots and save time in the process ( you & I have both done it in the past & heard many others say "I did not feel comfortable  , I should  have walked away..)
Don't get stuck in the trap of feeling compelled to hit the ball if you don't feel ready to make your best swing..
3. A Great Set Up Routine , gives you the best chance to hit Great Shots.
Every shot Lydia played during the game (even though it was a friendly)  she stuck to her routine.
If you are inconsistent with your routine , you will be inconsistent with your golf .. FACT!!
