Teaching chipping to a group of beginners recently reminded me of how difficult golf can be to learn. As a beginner, we have so much that we need to do in order to hit our first good shots. We could get a million and one things right, but still blade the ball across the green […]
Looking down the range during a lesson, I see a bunch of guys hacking away at the ball. Some of them are obsessively working on their backswings, hoping to find the secret. Some are sending their divots farther than the ball. Duff And there’s that one “residential expert” explaining to the golfer next to him […]
This is a tough article for me to write. Why? Because I know it is going to suffer “straw-man” attacks and will anger a lot of golfers and coaches. But I’m writing it anyway. I’m writing it because it needs to be said. I’m writing it because the idea isn’t given enough exposure/credit/thought/attention. I’m writing […]
Day in, day out, I hear golfers discussing why “X” pro is so good. It’s because he gets his left arm so high It’s because he turns his shoulders 110 degrees It’s because he has so much lag In most cases, golfers are just picking a single trait (usually one which is unique to […]
You’re like most golfers – you flit around from swing theory to swing theory, searching for that magic secret.

I’ve always been very goal-oriented. I remember as a kid writing down what scores I wanted to achieve and by when, as well as how far I thought I would hit each club as I got to certain ages and became stronger and better. As an adult, I have become better at the goal-setting process […]
Clickbait, right? Nope – you’re about to learn what I do to hit laser beams onto the flag. Laser Show I had my group coaching class yesterday, and I was demonstrating to them. After 10 shots, which all finished no more than 20 foot away from the target (at 160 yards, which is pretty […]
This week, I re-posted one of my most viral blog posts – the top myths in golf. Fittingly, hours later, Jim Furyk shot the lowest round ever recorded in a PGA tour event – breaking the 60 mark for the second time in his career. What can we learn from this (apart from the fact […]
