I've added a routine to my range practices this year based on a recommendation by my club pro. I hit 10 to 20 balls off of bare dirt. Because the lie is so tight, it's imperative to keep the weight forward and make ball first contact. ...

I'm in a league this year. My partner is a friend who carries a vanity cap. The first few weeks, it's killed us. His 9 hole cap is 8. On our course, that means averaging 43 with your 10 low scores. We have played three matches so...

I shot a 1 over 71 a couple of years ago.  Last year, my best was a 2 over 74.  It's weird how the game just seems to come to you when you have rounds like that.  I don't specifically recall, but I'm guessing there's a...

When hitting into a net, I've noticed that my swing is much more fluid and seems to have more lag when I'm hitting a whiffle golf ball compared to a real golf ball.  My Swing Speed Radar has confirmed that I average about 5 mph...

I love those close up pictures of Hogan's grip. I used to really struggle with a hook and had to figure out how to correct it. I found something called the pistol drill where you hit full shots with your thumb and index finger of your...

I lived in Dallas for 5 years and did take lessons at Haney's facility. The one I went to was in, McKinney, I believe. I'm sure we are talking about the same place. When I signed up, I was a high single digit handicap (I think I was...
