In my article “Tiger Woods Reveals Secret To Success” (CLICK HERE to read), we talked about the importance of distance control.

As a coach, I play “good cop, bad cop”. Sometimes, I berate you, push you outside of what’s comfortable, tell you the hard truths that no one else wants to tell you. And, sometimes, I put my arm around you and tell you that everything is going to be alright. I do it all in […]
There’s a really funny thing about striking a golf ball that you may have noticed – and it’s frustrating as hell. Imagine you hit a dreaded shank on the range. You then stand back farther from the ball (a logical intervention), and maybe you even set the next one up a little out of the […]
