Here are my steps to the full swing set-up: 1. Standing tall, I take my left hand grip and hold the shaft out in front of me with the toe of the club pointed up at the sky. 2. I put my right hand on the grip of the club. 3. While keeping my upper body nice and…

I pay close attention to my ball flights on all shots. Based on what I see the ball doing in the air, I can diagnose swing flaws before they become habits. The flight of the golf ball always tells me what my club-face and swing-path were doing at impact. "Slices" and "fades" curve to my right…

A few months ago I played in a tournament with a pro who was struggling. He spent most of his time in the desert looking for his ball, and limped his way to an 83. This was a talented pro whom I had seen shoot in the low 60’s before. What happened?? The day he…

Me practicing under the watchful eye of my son, Nathan. Clank! Shank! Thud! Are you missing the amazing sound of solid contact? In golf, nothing gives you confidence quite like a well struck shot.
