#swing tips

Golf is a funny game because no matter how hard I try, it seems my swing changes from day to day. Okay, that is a bit dramatic, however I have noticed that I do have a tendency to swing differently from time to time. This ‘hiccup’ is most prevalent with my hickory sticks as I am working on my early season game. I am fairly confident that every golfer has this challenge and often seeks remedies to…

To be fair, there is likely not one quick fix you can do that will eliminate your slice. It must be completed in stages, but the fix happens quicker than you think. I could go through the step by step process of hitting a golf ball, but after the third step, you have likely stopped reading and moved on to something better.

The number of thoughts that would bounce around in my head during my entire swing process seemed uncountable. I fixed this…

With The Masters in the books, spring just around the corner, and schedules being developed, it is time to work on my golf game. With a 6 month break from playing golf, I find that I sometimes have to relearn my golf swing. It does not take very long, but some goofy swing faults do rear their ugly heads and as such, I need a way to banish them to the abyss. Unfortunately for many players, these…

The golf swing has many moving components. Regardless of what level of play you produce, there is always something that can be improved. During today’s discussion, I want to focus on our lead arm (in my case it is my left arm because I hit right handed clubs) and how it works during our golf swing. The mechanics of our lead are is very simple; it needs to rotate not pull during our golf swing.…
