It’s pretty flattering when a guy whose business is promoting golf instruction DVD’s and websites comes all the way from Oklahoma to take a lesson. Of course, there are far less tornados in Maryland than in OK, so that could be part of the reason. Anyway, Tim is a very good player who, like many […]
Continue readingThe PGA of America decided to change the name of our national championship to the PGA PNC (PGA Professional National Championship), but when I won the thing it was called the CPC (Club Professional Championship). I don’t know about you, but I think that CPC is much more memorable than PGA PNC, so I’m […]

Jonathan is an Air Force pilot (I think that is correct, as he is a member of the F-22 Squadron) who has been in Russia for 4 years and now is getting back into golf. He used to film his swing quite a bit in high school (using Freddie Couples as a model) and has […]
Continue readingTwo questions bring back my memories of this week in June 32 years ago: the first is “have you ever played in the U.S. Open, and the second is “have you ever played Merion?” The answer to both is “yes”, and I am always happy to inform the asker that I played in the U.S. […]

Tim sent a nice email response to his lesson, so I thought I would share it with you as it does a great job of summarizing what I went over in the lesson. I really enjoyed the last comment about being an engineer and liking the way I use a standard method of analysis that […]

I thought this was a fairly rare occurrence, with 3 of the best players in the world playing together and hitting almost the same shot on the same hole, while the cameraman actually does a nice job of positioning himself for a down the line shot of each one. Stricker is a recognized maestro with […]

Here we see a very nice swing with good ground compression, excellent transition movement, and a vastly improved impact area. I see a couple of areas to focus on in order to continue the progress made over the past year, starting with the address position. I like the shaft to point at the belt buckle […]

Joakim has taken a number of online lessons and his swing has shown great progress. We still need to work on a few things so that his impact with the iron shots can be more forward leaned and sustained past impact. To start with I suggest that he soften his arms at address (let the […]

Joe is year in and year out is statistically one of the best, if not the best, ball strikers on any tour. That being the case, we can easily surmise that his putting is not up to Tour standards, and the rest of his short game may be suspect as well, although pitching, chipping, bunker […]
