The Sand Trap has brought back the Swing Check column. Please click on this link for more details. A few questions you might have:

How much does this cost? $0. Nada. Free.
Why are you doing this? I enjoy it. I had a pretty freak injury to my back but that doesn't mean I can't help others enjoy the game.
What can I expect? Analysis that is science based and logical; NO GIMMICKS. I will draw lines and use comparisons to tour pros to help you better understand what changes need to be made and how to make them.
Who's swing would you say is the best to emulate? My top would be: Ben Hogan, Tiger Woods, David Duval (ala 1999), & Adam Scott

If you would like to be a part of this feature please read the information and the criteria in the link above and then contact me at swingcheck@thesandtrap.com . Hope to hear from you soon.

I've currently changed my swing and am going to get a pro lesson to look at it, but it would be cool if I could get it checked here. How long do you plan to do this? I can't submit anything for 3-4 weeks. If it's still possible I'll be sure to send in my swing.

I am going to be doing this until it's not fun anymore. Hopefully I'm old and grey by then. 3-4 weeks should be ok

Hi everyone. First off, I want to thank everyone for their submissions. I hope everyone is happy with the feedback they have gotten as well as the few that have articles written. I am running into a problem where I have the same swing faults coming to me lately and frankly, I don't want to be redundant when I publish articles. If you want your swing looked at, please send me the swing and I would be more than happy to give you my feedback regardless of if you have a "new" problem or not. Looking forward to hearing from you.

I have been receiving a lot of swings from people that are not hitting golf balls. If you are not hitting a shot I cannot truly analyze your swing. There are enormous changes between a practice swing and a full swing. So please, no more practice swings. Thanks

      So Does Anyone Know Who This Pat Simmons Is?

      By Haxo Angmark ·

      after some years experimenting around, I've settled on a mixed bag of mostly Pat Simmons vintage Tiger Sharks (the ones with the blue enamal on back of the clubheads): 3 thru 9 iron, + 3 wedges (PW, sand, chipper). Those super heavy clubheads really help me get my swing down and thru the ball. Also I carry an old Taylor 18-degree rescue club, 17-degree and 14 degree ImagineGolf metalwoods, and the famous Pat Simmons "alien" 1-iron. Finally a real brick-on-a-stick, the big-headed Bettinardi Ben Hogan model putter which is excellent for taking the break out of short putts and getting the ball hole high on long ones. Wait....is that 15 clubs? Oh well....

      Struggling With Fat Shots and Dont Know Why

      By Haxo Angmark ·

      this topic brought to mind one my favorite golf-spectator memories. Back when, living in Santa Barbara CA, parked in my yellow cab just behind the 10th tee  (c. 380 yard par 4) at SB Muni golf course while eating lunch. A twosome comes by, and first up is this fat little mexican guy who takes a kinda squirelly practice swing, then addresses the ball and bashes a long, high, perfectly straight drive up to w/in about 5 yards of the green. Other guy is dressed to the 9's, pulls out what looks like a $300 driver....and hits a maybe 150-yard pop fly. Slams clubhead to the ground and yells, "it's fat! It's fat! Everything is fat today!!"  And that's how I learned what a "fat" shot is.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By billchao ·

      It may not be surprising that in the previous 7,064 posts, this particular point has been discussed. To which I will counter: If we're talking about results, why only the majors? Unless you know something that I don't, neither of us are in any position to judge whether Woods or Nicklaus lived their overall life better, not that such a thing is even objectively measurable, nor is it relevant to the discussion.

      As we've had to tell other people, the topic is which is the better GOLFER, not human being.
