Who is the best golfer on the planet? It just may be Rory McIlroy.

In an earlier post, before the US open started, I had stated that I liked Rory McIlroy to win the major championship. Well, after two days he has been putting on a clinic. The way he is playing right now, he certainly looks like the best player in the world. Of course the tournament is not over yet, and there are still two rounds to play. And we all know what happened at the Masters. We will have to wait and see if he can handle the pressure. I am predicting that he handles the pressure, and wins this one going away.

While you are watching the tournament, enjoy the golf, but focus on watching the swing of McIlroy. It is a thing of beauty. It is always smooth and powerful, and always in balance. Notice the various positions he is in, especially at the top, at impact, and at the finish. You will do well to emulate any of these positions, but pay special attention to the balance of the swing.

You can practice getting into these positions on your time and on your schedule in your own backyard. All you need is the Ropeit. Visit http://www.theropeit.com/ to check it out. Get a Ropeit, become a better ball striker, and shoot lower golf scores.

Good luck Rory. No matter what happens you have played some unbelievable golf for two days, and you made it look easy.
