  • Swing Like A Pirate?.Use Your ARRRRRMS!
    The contribution of the body to the golf swing has been over emphasized for years. I guess one reason for this fact is that body positions were easy to point out in a golf magazine. Problem is, the over use of the body or excess body motion continues to be the killer of the golf swing for many a golfer, holding them back from their true potential.
  • How To Lower Your Handicap Over The Winter
    Over the winter is an excellent time to make lasting changes in your swing movement. Why? Because it takes slow deliberate repetitions to teach your body to change motions or patterns which you probably would not be willing to do during the season because you want to play.
  • Taking Your Swing From the Driving Range to the Course
    Transferring your perfect consistent driving range warm up swing to the golf course is a typical dilemma and a frustration of many a golfer. You’re killing it on the range, everything seems perfect. You’re convinced that you will have your best round ever and then right on the first tee you yank it out of bounds!
  • How To Reach The Proper Impact Position...It's All That Counts!
    Keep in mind that when someone slices the ball, their body is moving faster than their arms and club. A person who hooks the ball too much is doing the opposite. Their hands, arms and club are moving faster than their body. Since most people slice the ball, it is easy to see that it is almost impossible to swing your arms too fast.
  • Starting Your Down Swing For Power
    The transition from loading to unloading should be smooth and rhythmic. The tempo may vary form person to person but it is important not to make the transition too “jerky.”
  • What does ?Alignment? mean and how is it different from ?Aim??
    The question may seem too simple. Alignment deals with the shoulders, hips, knees and feet. We want these four body parts all in “alignment” so they are all pointing in the same direction. Pointing them in the same direction is “aiming.”
  • The Three Greatest Lies Of All Time In Golf!
    Here are the greatest lies in golf. Keep your head down, keep a stiff left arm, I'm from the government and I'm here to help you!
  • Why Golf Lessons Don't Seem To Help As Much As They Should
    I've been giving golf lessons since 1970. Some students improve more than others, even if some golfers don't realize it at first. However the break down is in maintaining the improvement.
  • How To Read Golf Greens for Speed and Break
    Remember if you are off on your amount of break by a foot or two it probably won’t cause you to three putt. It’s that putt you leave seven feet short or twelve feet past the hole that will cause you to three putt. Get the pace first, then the line.
  • If You Are Going to Play Tournament Golf, You Better Get Good at Pre-shot Routine!
    One huge example of the difference between the golfer that makes it in tournament play and the one that doesn’t is his/her pre-shot routine.
  • "How To Hit Your Golf Driver"
    Your initial golf shot is your most important golf shot in my estimation. It's sort of like first down in football. If you're second down and twenty every time you get the ball you're going to have a long afternoon. I'm used to it, being a Dolphin fan.
  • Over the Net Golf Lessons with Video Analysis and Touring Pro Comparisons
    Golfers can now take advantage of the same technology available to touring pros by video analysis over the internet.
