Actually, these tips in golf magazines are quite effective. I clip them out, give them to my friends to try, and that always works out well for me.

The problem is that 95% of the people that hear this advice will: a) still come over the top and b) pull the ball even more than they do now I still maintain that the root cause of 9

I'd be very cautious about making blanket statements about an instructor by using 1:00 of video.  Better to check out his body of work, and in Ritter's case, he has a lot of stuff online.  I'm fine wi

To me it didn't look like Romo was taking it very seriously. I thought he was about to roll his eyes when he was talking about the clubface turning over.

Besides the obvious cock up with face and path, at what discrete point during the downswing is the club head traveling "in to in"? Through hyperspace, maybe ...

"In to in" would be the preferred swing path, right?  Club comes down from the inside, becomes tangent to the target line for only an instant, then goes back to the inside on the throughswing. As opposed to the other two scenarios of "out to in" and "in to out" which cross over the target line.

Ideally, of course, the ball is struck before the club reaches the tangency point.

He's saying that there's no real "in to in" because the path doesn't change much during impact. All swings are "in to in" at some point in the swing.

It's a smaller point to mention given the much larger errors elsewhere on the sign. I asked on Facebook how old that image is. Just curious. I no longer care much if other instructors don't know this basic info. I just hope everyone here (because I care about your golf games and want to see you all improve and enjoy the game more) knows why it's bunk.

All swings are "in to in" through the entirety of the downstroke, but there's no point where the club head is making that motion. It's going (in to) out up to low point and then (out to) in after low point. At low point it's going straight (down the baseline).

I believe it was taken in the last couple of days (if not yesterday).

And while I'm at it, what I love most about that pic is the "Level, Steep, Shallow." Too funny

I think that's how you hit a draw

Taking the above advice may lead to destruction of your golf game. Laughing at it may reduce stress.

Explains how to hit a draw by first aligning to the target, then closing the face. Then he hits a push draw that ends up right of the pin.

Remember guys:

"I believe in having my Ph.D in impact, and the inch afterwards, and I think that's what you should do too. That way, when you hit it good, it's not a big surprise. It's not like 'Well, my timing's good today.' "

This is so bad you almost suspect it's a deliberate wind-up.

      Day 87 (27 Jul 25) - Made it an easy session with the wedge this afternoon, worked on staying in the shot and not lifting out - split between low spinners and higher floaters.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By GolfLug · Posted

      Shot my new low 72 (par 70) today. Had 5 birdies, also a new best, which included a hole out from the bunker on par 3 6th, and another hole out pitch from 15ish yards on the long par 4, 15th.  Got a couple of other good breaks. Except for an OB drive on 14th (and ensuing double bogey), not much went wrong. All in all I might have used up a year's worth of luck in a single day.

      Back in the saddle after vacation.  Day 1: played 18. Did not have it, but still battled to an 82. Felt closer to a 90, but that’s fine.

      Yes, I have seen this from the older crowd that play the 4,700 yard tees and want to know why they get less strokes from there. Always trying to game the system 🤣

      Day 300 - 2025-07-27 Good 44-ball segment. GSPro was acting goofy, so I just put it on the Quad. Then I hit a bunch of low spinners. Hit 14° down to 9.8° down, with the average closer to 12.3° or so. Focused mostly on the backswing. Right knee good, hands roll up and out a little before laying off (FAR).
