• Balance: The way back to health

  

  Struggling with chronicle back and elbow issues due to poor conditioning in golf, I had to completely reset. I discovered that the foundation of my entire golf swing and healthy play is building and maintaining my balance.

• Word Cadences and Putting

  

  Ever heard of the “Rhyming Peg-Word System”?  It’s a memory trick that a magician taught as a class on a cruise I took last year. What intrigued me was the concept of linking memory with visualization.  Most of us “passionate” golfers – I didn’t say obsessed – can remember specific golf shots associated with memories…

• Process: Why Routine Is So Important

  

  The ultimate purpose of routine and process, counter to Chamblee’s comments, IS to make the putt; IS to make the best swing in that singular instant of time of contact – and this happens when we allow our unconscious mind to act – busying our conscious mind in the process and routine.

• Process: Timing

  

  “I want golf to be fun again” – my friend, let’s call him “Dugan” –  since well, that’s his name 😂 – said to me during a session. “My life right now is a bit chaotic and I just want golf to be a place that I can enjoy myself and get away from the…

• Putting – The Great Equalizer

  

  There is a part of golf where I can go head-to-head and compete with the likes of Rory, Rahm, and even Tiger. Now before you scoff at me and leave me a nasty comment – give just a few more paragraphs to explain.  To compete at this pro-level and actually have a chance to win,…

• Warm Up: 8 chip, pitch, punch

  

  After a proper stretch, it’s time to warm up your swing. I use this routine every time I play a round, tournament or just practice at the range. First things first! What are distances to the flags on the range? Before I touch a club, I want to know the distance and don’t trust the…

• The Warm Up

  

  Golfers are strange athletes. Yes, golfers ARE athletes, whether they acknowledge it or not. And most amateur golfers don’t ever acknowledge the athletics necessary to excel at golf.  Golf is the most self-deprecating sport and many golfers defeat themselves before getting to the first tee.  Regularly, I notice players of all skill levels walk on…
