PGA of America, USGA or some entity should step up and provide FREE ball repair tools at every golf course.  Provide a large, clear plastic container of these very inexpensive tools, (the slightly bent, 2-prong variety) on the...

Not heard of your situation called 'yips' but I can make a comment.  I believe the reason one decelerates through the ball is because of a backswing too long for the shot.  My wife says she has that 'oh, sh!t' moment when...

Course bad behavior.  Our league course is beautifully maintained, a great track and on par with the nicest courses in NE Ohio.  It's technically a muni because it's owned by the city.  This also means it's the home...

Tom Watson on a Golf Channel short-game show.  He only practices lag putts and short putts.   As someone else mentioned, when we're hitting greens we leave ourselves longer and low percentage to make putts.  TW's...

Ok, I'm old.  Started working hard on the short game past few seasons as a way to keep scores under control.   A new stat I've been keeping while reviewing rounds is how many 'truly makeable putts' went in.  How many...
