Breaking 80 Golf Game Progress Report – Getting Closer!
After I posted that last video of my swing when I thought I had a real breakthrough, my swing coach, Jay Lim, left me some notes in the comments for things to work on. At first glance it seemed like a whole lot to think about and change and I felt a little overwhelmed. But [...]

Mesquite Amateur – the preview
I’m here at the Mesquite Amateur Golf Tournament this week and so far it’s been a blast. There are over 600 players in the tournament and the hotels are packed with golfers. Oh, and the casinos are as well. Go by the card tables and you’ll see an ocean of golf hats and various sporty [...]

How to live with the Putting Yips – video
Remember Neil? He is the friend I wrote about in an article for World Golf who has had the putting yips for years. Neil has learned to live with his affliction and recently improved even more. I loaned him this book, which he says actually helped quite a bit. The biggest difference? He doesn’t care [...]

The Dreaded “Y word” at Worldgolf
Well, it’s that time of month again. No, not the time when I get all cranky and roll around in chocolate – my latest column is up at Worldgolf. Since their disaster of a new site design isn’t just ugly, but a navigational nightmare, you might want to use my link below if you want [...]

Improving my putting skills
Perhaps I mis-titled this post. I guess I should say developing some putting skills instead of improving. Improving implies that I had some skills to begin with. I didn’t. I used to putt like a stoned chihuahua – spazzing out and either timidly leaving it way short or nervously hammering it past the hole with [...]

Curing My Slice (Now what did I break?)
Rather than struggle for weeks, months or years trying to figure out the problem on my own, I went to see a professional about the slice I developed with my driver. It came on quite suddenly and became more pronounced as the days and weeks passed. I was so frustrated that I couldn’t figure out [...]

Am I being hazed by the putting gods?
Is this some kind of “true golfer” initiation process I’m experiencing? Let’s check the stats. After finding my lost swing at the range on Saturday, I was still a little anxious about taking it out on the course. I mustered my courage and played yesterday, only to find myself playing like I did back when [...]

I want to putt like Tiger Woods
Yeah, who doesn’t? I admit it. Putting is not among my favorite things about playing golf. I like whacking that little ball and watching it fly. Putting just isn’t sexy. I’m pretty sure Tiger Woods would vehemently disagree on that point, which is why I’d really like to change my own attitude about it. While [...]
