Former LPGA pro Dodie Mazzuca thinks it can. Dodie attributes yoga to extending her professional career by seven years. She enjoyed the effects of yoga so much, she has become an Ashtanga yoga instructor for the Four Seasons Resort in Scottsdale, AZ.

Instructors and videos extol the benefits that yoga can focus the mind. Because golf uses the mind, bringing this focus into your game can enhance your game as well as your overall well-being.

Breathing that is focused on in yoga can also translate to the golf course. Yoga breathing is a good way to warm up your muscles for a round of golf. Focused breath can be essential to relaxing the body, which is essential to good play.

Becoming mindful of the muscles that you use in your golf swing can lead to a better swing than just slamming into it. Taking deep and longer inhale and exhales can bring power to your swing and facilitate a good follow-through.

Yoga poses can protect core muscles and increase flexibility in golfers.

Most golfers don’t realize that the main secret to a good golf game is not to be a just a big hitter off the tee or to be a great chipper around the green or to be a great putter, these are obvious stealth’s to any low handicap golfer. The true secrete to a predictable lower score is the tricks to golf management. Power seems to be the big attraction in golf, but pros like Tiger woods, Phil Michelson, j sign, Sergio Garcia rely on their golf management skills to truly shoot lower mare predictable scores. Here are the top ten golf management rules you should put in your bag before the very first swing

1)      Find a club that you can consistently hit in your bag regardless of leant, if it’s a 7 iron or a 5 wood or a 4 iron it doesn’t matter. For the beginning golfer these clubs are necessary because the will always allow you to advance the ball with predictability. Golfer often try to use too much club or use clubs the cant hit to try to make shots that will only turn out with more negatives results than positive. So when you’re in doughty of the club to use pull out your most predictable club and advance the ball.

2)      Don’t try to make the micelle shot!! If you process the skills of a Tiger woods than take a rip.  Sure once in a while it works but most of the time it will end up costing you many more strokes than its worth. So do the smart thing and take an easy short of punching out or dropping the ball for relief. You will find that at the end of the round your scores will be lower by staying discipline to getting back into play first.

3)      When you finally reach the green there are several tricks that will help save you strokes. One is to always try to miss puts to what is called the high side of the hole. If the put is breaking from the right to the left the ball never has a chance of going in if it misses on the low side low side of the cup. If you concentrate on making your puts miss on the high side of the hole the ball has the highest profanity of going in.

4)      Ever here the saying never up never in? If when putting the ball doesn’t reach the hole it has a 100% chance of not going in, concentrate on making sure your put reach or go past the hole on every put. A two foot put coming back is the same as two foot put being short accept that the put that was long had a chance to go in!!

5)      Reading greens is a must in golf management. Not spending a few minutes to understand how the greens will move is a novice mistake. Does the put go right to left, left to right, uphill, or downhill are the first this to determine before addressing the ball. Not concentrating on that basic fundamental will surly and up to more three putts and needless higher scores

6)      Chipping around the greens can be as important as putting, if you not the Phil Michelson or tiger woods types that can use a verity or clubs around the green from lob wedges to hybrids the first thing to do is find the one club that is predictable and comfortable in your hands. Try a 9 8,7 iron or a wedge but find the club that gives you the loft and the trajectory of the club that you can control. The more you play with a predictable club the faster you will learn to hit other shots with other clubs.

7)      If your in the fairway make sure to understand the ball positioning in relationship to your feet, is the ball above my feet or below my feet, is it uphill or downhill from my feet. These differences will determine which way the ball will want to go naturally and help you to understand preparedly lining up your shot. Baal below your feet as an example naturally will go right, by understanding this the correct thing to do is to aim elite to the left to compensate.

8)      Know your distances with both how far each of your clubs go and how far you are on every shot. Not knowing exactly how far each club goes or how far away from the hole you are exactly will cause you unnecessary shots and raise your scores

9)      Stay below the hole, the easiest put to make on any green is the straight uphill putt, but chipping and putting an sting to remain below the hole will dramatically increase you success

10)  Know the rules, not knowing the rules of golf will create automatic strokes in your game unusually and in some cases may cost you the game

11)  Golf is a difficult game to get good at it but if you want to get an edge and lower your scores without even changing you game apply these basic rules and you should see you average score drop on their own.
