You haven’t heard Scott Hoch’s name recently as he has struggled with multiple injuries, but in his prime he was one of the top money-makers on Tour for almost 20 years.

I’m sure that Mike realizes good players lower during the swing. I’m also sure that after watching this he wishes he had been a little clearer on just what he was discussing, as it certainly seems like he’s saying Scott’s head is not going down at the exact moment that it is.

Tom is a good player from Charlotte, NC who had been trying to fix certain things in his swing for some time, namely a faulty takeaway and a steeping of the shaft in transition. The cool thing here is that Tom digested the online lesson, worked on it for a few days, and then filmed another swing that I was able to compare to his first batch. I think you’ll find the difference significant to say the least.
Continue readingChamblee is off the charts. I have to think his diatribes are calculated to foment controversy. I mean seriously; what basis does he have for not calling Tiger the greatest player if he wins 19 majors? What, you don’t like Tiger? You don’t like that he dumped Butch? You don’t like that he screwed everything in sight and humiliated his wife and children? You know what? You’re not alone.
Continue readingMy playing year usually starts in Orlando at the end of January when I play in the Isleworth Invitational, an individual pro and pro-am team event at Tiger’s club. My expectations are fairly low as we are coming from snow and cold and I am competing against mostly Florida guys, with the added attraction of playing the difficult Isleworth course at 7000 yards in spotty weather.

David and I have known each other for some 25 years, and I have worked with David a number of times during that span. He is 65 years old but works at his game and to improve his physical capabilities like someone 30 years younger (actually more so since most people of any age don’t do nearly as much work as David does).
Continue readingIf you’ve read any of the stuff I’ve been writing about golf over the last 15 or so years you have probably noticed that I’m a big advocate of playing golf that counts, and that obviously means tournament golf. I have always seen the effort to improve at the game to be a cycle of practice, compete, practice whatever made you fail, then compete again so you know what to practice.

People ask me all the time why they have to work so hard on their games just to be decent, while others seem to be good in spite of their seemingly poor technique and lack of good practice habits and work ethic. The fact is that some people just have a “knack” for the game, and it is more apparent how things ultimately work without having any sort of deep understanding of exactly what they are doing.

Man, wouldn’t it be nice to be Alvaro Quiros for a week or two? What would it be like to be able to hit the ball well over 300 yards with a quick, compact swing that appears to involve little or no attempt to stretch or resist, although both of those characteristics are certainly in play in his motion. Quiros has the quintessential prototype “new tour body”, tall, lean and immensely strong, and he looks like an NFL safety rather than a golfer.

It was a tough year for me as stiffness in my back and hips made it difficult to swing the way I visualize. In other words, I know what I want to do, but I can’t get my body to do it.
