About this ebook
Long Drive Academy, Find Your Extra Forty, is about using a natural method to increase golf driving distance off the tee. From the creators of Kung Fu Golf, Long Drive Academy presents a way for the average golfer to get the most out of the long drive swing that exists in each one of us. The Long Drive Academy excels at explaining things in a way the average golfer can finally understand. The problem with golf instruction today from the famous golf stars is they have never stood in the shoes of the average duffer. They simply don't speak your language. We do!

THE LONG DRIVE ACADEMY™
18 STEPS TO A MASSIVELY LONG DRIVE
You may be saying to yourself, "18 Steps... That’s War & Peace Long! Don’t you promise a 300 yard drive in just 30 minutes like the other ridiculous offers I see on TV?"
What, did you think this was some sort of "abdominal machine pitch" on late night television? (Promising washboard abs from five minutes of rocking back and forth on your shag carpet, all while eating a candy bar?) Guess what, this program is NOT easy, but here is the good news: It actually WORKS!
You may have learned in life if you are over 12 years of age… easy does not work.
IF YOU ARE IN ANY WAY NOT SATISFIED –
NO MONEY BACK GUARANTEE OFFERED:
Did you read that right? Yes.
You should be excited. A product so confident in itself that it does not offer a money back guarantee! This is every bit of essential information needed for long drives, presented in a way even a neophyte golfer can fully understand. If you did not improve your driving distance by a significant amount after taking the course, it’s your fault not ours. You either did not do the work or mindlessly tried to move through the steps quickly "just to get through them" as if, without real effort, you would magically emerge on the other side a long drive champion! (Of course, if a money back guarantee is required by law in your U.S. State it will be granted, and why shouldn’t the Government be involved in golf instruction!)
P R E F A C E :
Kung Fu Golf™ and Long Drive Academy™ are not written by the winner of a U.S. Open. How about a PGA Pro? NOPE…Club champion perhaps?…No, not here. There is an inverse law in golf: The better the golfer the WORSE the teacher. The magic of Kung Fu Golf and The Long Drive Academy lies in two main areas:
ONE: The ability to understand what the amateur / part-time golfer struggles with MOST. We have walked in your shoes. If this book was about "getting off crack cocaine then we would have been recovering crack cocaine addicts ourselves. When I say
we" I mean myself and my contributors. We have walked in your shoes. We have stunk up golf courses with scores over 110. We have struggled to hit 240 yard drives. We have 4 putted greens! We feel you man!
TWO: If you are a golf phenom, and you grew up with a golf club in your hand from age 3 on, you learned to do things NATURALLY the rest of us hackers and duffers don’t automatically and naturally get.
We explain all of this in your own language… the language of a duffer. We feel you man! We are you!
I N T R O D U C T I O N :
Unlike all the complicated and unrelated mumbo-jumbo in books, magazines, and $50 DVDs, this is all the information you will ever need to drive the golf ball long, presented in a way that the average golfer can finally understand. The goal is simple, to dramatically increase your driving distance. The goal is NOT to make you a better golfer promising lower scores. There is a big difference between the two. That is a completely different set of skills explored in Kung Fu Golf.™
PERHAPS THE # 1 REASON FOR THE LONG DRIVE ACADEMY COURSE:
If you don’t play golf more than 6 times a month, you will never be a very good golfer by way of low score. Sorry, no magical promises or pixy dust here. It’s just reality. You really need at least 8 rounds of golf a month, plus a few intense practice sessions (each month) to be golfing in the mid to low 80’s. Most of us normal humans just don’t have the time to golf 8 or more times a MONTH, or 90 or more times a YEAR! Ben Hogan said that if he took 3 full days off from golf (and intense golf practice,) it could take him almost 2 months to get his game back fully to where it once was, at the highest level. Hogan’s point relative to your game is simple: If you don’t play and/or practice A TON, you will stink A TON.
If you don’t play a lot, you CAN become a good golfer in the "way you hit the ball or drive" even if you struggle to shoot 95. To SCORE you must PLAY.
It’s more than a convenient excuse for you to put in your pocket, it’s a fact. If you played poorly today, and have not played for 3 weeks, go ahead and blame the time off. It’s a valid excuse! Here is what most average golfers are faced with because they live REAL lives, with real jobs, and real kids.
Take 4 to 6 days off from golf (playing and practicing) and you will lose the touch of chipping around the greens (stone hand syndrome.) Also, after six days off forget all 1/2 or 1/3 pitch shots from 40 yards and in. All you will have left is a full shot. Take a few MORE days off and you will lose your putting stroke’s distance control. A few MORE days off and forget hitting a 5,4, or 3 iron crisply. Heck, why not just take another three days off to lose the driver, and the 7,8, and 9 iron as well! Yes, three weeks away and you have lost your best game in almost every major area FOR SCORE. A high 80’s shooter will very quickly revert back to the 90’s in 3 weeks!
The point of all this is simple; if you don’t have the tremendous time it takes to devote yourself to total golf mastery, you may just want to devote your time to hitting the living crap out of the golf ball and having FUN. The long drive can, by itself, make the game a lot of fun if you have moderate expectations in other areas LIKE SCORE. Fun on the golf course… what an alien concept! A good long drive puts the birdie into the realm of possibility on EVERY driving hole. (You can remain in contention for the birdie, at least until you chunk your 7 iron on the approach shot or even arrive on the green in two, just to 3 or 4 putt!)
A final thought on this issue of staleness,
…get your mind right, now and forever. If you are playing in the corporate employee scramble on Friday and have not played for 4 weeks, we have given you a ready-made excuse to stink. It’s an excuse based on fact so RELAX and don’t get so uptight out there!
The arrogance of the average player, getting upset with themselves or even cursing and throwing clubs because of a missed green or a splash down on a par three. You
