Mar 11, 2010 9:43am

Do you get wristy or handsy with your swing? Does the club feel like a whippy fishing rod when you take it back? The key is to have a one piece take away. Which means don’t break your wrists on your take away. Keep your left hand/wrist...

Oct 20, 2009 2:44pm

You’ve probably heard it before, finish the swing. So, what does that mean? It means get your weight to your left sideon your finish. When you finish the swingis your weight on your left foot? (or right if you’re a lefty) If you are off balance and your weight...

Oct 5, 2009 8:47am

Have you ever seen someone swing so fast youthought they were going to lose their balance?A fast swing doesn’t equate to fast swing speed orfast ball speed. It’s all about timing. Slow downyour back swing and keep a good tempo. I knowyou’ve done this; take the club back too fast,then...

Sep 24, 2009 2:36pm

Have you ever thought about taking the club back and through on the same straight line. More than likely youhave heard this hundreds of times. It’s really hard to visualize, but if you think about a set of railroad tracks for your visual aid, you’d be right on track. Visualize...

Weekly Swing Reminder - Confidence

Sep 2, 2009 7:21am

Be confident in all you do. Know that you can make the shot,whatever the shot is. Positive self talk is an awesomething. I caddied some LPGA events in the early 90s and italways amazed me that the ladies would talk themselves intohitting a good golf shot. From the time they...

Weekly Swing Reminder - One shot at a time

Aug 26, 2009 4:54pm

Do you ever get ahead of yourself by thinking about theshot after the one you’re about to play? Never get aheadof yourself, only think about the shot you’re about to play.You have to stay in the moment, if you start thinking ahead,you will almost always hit a bad shot. It’s...

Weekly Swing Reminder - Play to your strengths

Aug 18, 2009 9:11am

If you hate 30 yard pitch shots, don’t leaveyourself that shot. It goes hand in hand with“play within yourself”. For instance you have250 yards left to a par 5, do you hit a 3 wood(that has no chance of reaching the green)or lay up with a 7 iron and leave...

Slow Down

Aug 15, 2009 3:13pm

We've all heard it hundreds of time, "slow down" life's too short. But, do we really pay much attention to it? It seems lately, that nobody does. I like technology as much as the next guy. I mean I am writing this blog on my laptop...

Is your shaft too stiff ??

Aug 9, 2009 11:41am

That's a heck of a question to start today's blog post. But, I think it's fitting considering we are smack dab in the middle of the golf season. How many shots do you hit to the right? That's another great question, and these two questions go together...

Weekly Swing Reminder - No 3 Putts

Jul 30, 2009 6:06pm

I really think I would rather hit a ballout of bounds than three putt. Therejust isn’t any reason to do it. Practiceyour putting so that you can always leaveputts within gimme range or within 12 inchesof the hole. You are never gonna make everyputt, so practice your lag putts to...

The Lost Art of Etiquette

Jul 20, 2009 9:11pm

Have you ever played a round of golf with a new golfer and felt like you spent your whole day teaching them etiquette? I hear from so many players about the problems with etiquette, but I hear so little from them on how...

Weekly Swing Reminder - Bottom Of The Circle

Jul 14, 2009 7:59am

What does "Bottom of the Circle" mean to you? I'm sure it has all sorts of meanings, but to a golfer, it should mean "where the club bottoms out". So, if we think about it in that context, shouldn't that be where the club impacts the ball? Would...

Just A Thought

Jul 5, 2009 9:57pm

Do you go to sleep over the ball? Do you over thinkevery shot? If you do, STOP THINKING and START PLAYING.Golf is so much a mental game, the more you thinkthe harder it is to execute the shot. If you know whatshot you want to play, why do you have...
