One of the most common mistakes we make as golfers occurs in our setup position with regards to ALIGNMENT…have you ever hit a shot where you made good contact, but then look up to see that your ball has missed 10 yards to the right or left?…you are all nodding your heads at this point […]

With my students, at the beginning of each season, I always stress the importance of working on the short game and finding good rhythm, tempo and balance in their golf swing. Without question, your focus to start the season should be on a good grip, correct posture, the right stance with good alignment, making solid […]

We often hear from golfers at the beginning of each season that their “short game is off and they don’t have good feel for those shots 100 yards and closer.” This is totally understandable with the lack of or zero practice time we get during the winter months…but for this season, instead of jumping right […]
