Weakness-Mental interference,for example not thinking clearly about shot selection,strategy,and those short chips where again allowing nervous tension to creep in. Strengths-My whole game, sounds arrogant for a high handicapper but I...

Commiserations to all Americans on the board.We had the majority of the worlds top 20 at this tournament.It was meant to be this close.Apart from a couple of the match ups,particulary Tiger and Phil these matches could easily go either...

Tim Gallwey in his book had a great suggestion for this.Write down on a piece of paper what qualities you would like in your swing.It could be smooth,unhurried,fluid,graceful,controlled,loose.Then take those words with you when you...

Monty sending out the first five matches was predictable.All the toughest match players in our team are there.Stricker has to be shell shocked and IMO Westwood even with the calf injury has been the best player in the world this...

This is probably a subtle thing that creeps into your game particulary if you carry a higher handicap,but do you really know that your swing is the same for all clubs.It's amazing to me that I can hit PW with a very quiet swing 120 yds...

Had a career shot last summer,hit my ball into light rough on a dog-leg left.My playing partner lasered the range for me,244 yds to the flag.Absolutely smoked a 16" hybrid,didn't even feel the swing or the ball,went through the...

I'm in the same position and have done some real soul searching as to what I'm doing on the golf course.I love hitting balls when it comes down to basics,and I hate hitting useless shots.So on the golf course the score actually is only...

I have reached a plateau with scoring now for going on 18 months.I started scoring in the 115-120 range 3 years ago got down to 100-105 in less than 2 years.I really believe that it's not just my practice time but my club selection that...

I would say as a high handicapper it's poor execution which leads me to think that overswinging is the main cause.Out on the range it's easy to work on a compact swing and the tempo or rhythm of the swing.I have been hitting it better...

It could depend on your past athletic pursuits.I mean I drew comparisons from my tennis forehand so the one-plane route made sense.Funny I was talking with a playing partner of mine who had said the pro had taken a third of his backswing...
