Building A Better Routine
Posted on: 06 Jan 2021
I find that most golfers fail to have a consistent routine. They fail in having a process oriented mind. They fail to be confident because they have no clue why or how they got over the ball and then pull the trigger with absolute mindlessness. In order to become a “player” rather than a “hacker”, […]
Winged Foot

The golf course is going to be the winner. Whoever comes in first is still going to be second to this incredible masterpiece.
Speed first line second
Posted on: 20 Aug 2020
In order to improve your chances of reducing 3-putts or worse, you have to figure out the speed it takes to get the ball to or just past the hole. Once you figure out the speed, then your line can be chosen based on speed. I see far too many players that fall in love […]
Learn the fundamentals and make your own personal swing
Posted on: 22 Jul 2020
I have studied thousands of swings over the 22 years. I realize that they are ALL different, yet effective in their own way. I don’t believe that amateurs should emulate any tour player. Do you think Nicklaus, Hogan, Snead, Trevino, Besselink, Jones, Palmer, Floyd, Casper, Darcy, Wolff, Furyk or any other great player that figured […]
Get PGA HOPE Certified
Posted on: 12 Mar 2020
I had no idea how creative you have to get to teach people with disabilities until I went through the PGA HOPE training class with Judy Alvarez. She taught us to think outside the box. We had to put ourselves in situations that emulate an adaptive golfer. We had to use special equipment that had […]

Absolutely!!! This is the diversity golf has needed for a very long time. Look at how many global players have won over the last few years. Especially rookies just getting started!

Tiger Woods is and always will be my favorite player on tour.
Posted on: 09 Dec 2019
Tiger Woods is and always will be my favorite player on tour. Right now he is by far the best player. I love his mind. He thinks better than anyone out there. As a result of a strong mind, he is able to perform a confident swing that produces whatever his mind conjures up in […]
Put them through a TPI screening that consists of 16 tests
Posted on: 07 Nov 2019
I see a lot of students that are older and have limited range of motion. I’m a TPI Certified Coach. Put them through a TPI screening that consists of 16 tests and a couple of extras if they cannot perform the full test. For example, if the student can’t do the deep squat test properly, […]
I do currently use both a Flightscope Xi and a Foresight GC Quad.
Posted on: 26 Sep 2019
Ball flight technology has come a long way. I do currently use both a Flightscope Xi and a Foresight GC Quad. I only pull out the launch monitor when we want to see the numbers and make changes. This allows me to show the changes in either angle of attack, face angle, club path, etc. […]
The two best instructional books I have read were Tiger Woods, "How I Play Golf" and Mike Malaska, "I Feel Your Pain".
Posted on: 11 Sep 2019
When it comes to Instruction books, there are some classic examples like Hogan’s 5 Fundamentals, or Jack’s Golf My Way. But the two best instructional books I have read were Tiger Woods, “How I Play Golf” and Mike Malaska, “I Feel Your Pain”. Both are really easy to understand and apply to your golf game.

My favorite golf websites are ones that keep me up to date with the latest golf equipment like Golf WRX, My Golf Spy, etc. The forums are great for feedback and also real data from experts that have done the testing and can give us a better idea of how the equipment actually performs side […]
Keep an eye out for wear marks from your thumbs, feel if the grip is getting hard, slick, or cracking
Posted on: 14 Aug 2019
It depends on how well you maintain your grips, how often you play or practice, the environment you store your clubs ( A hot garage or car trunk will shorten the life of your grips fast), grip pressure in the swing (Too tight can produce wear marks), and also the brand and type of grip […]
Poppy Hills in Pebble Beach, CA.
Posted on: 07 Aug 2019
I have been blessed to play some amazing public courses in my life. I would have to say the best public course I ever played was Poppy Hills in Pebble Beach, CA. It is a great layout with a lot of challenges and is in great shape. The greens are amazing and the wildlife was […]
Nothing wrong with using the "Texas Wedge"
Posted on: 06 Aug 2019
Putt it. Nothing wrong with using the “Texas Wedge” if you don’t have the skillset or the confidence to get the ball airborne around the greens. Take a lesson from your local PGA Professional to learn how to pitch the ball so you can add that dimension to your game.
The Waterfall Club in Clayton, Georgia
Posted on: 17 Jul 2019
I have played some gems (Including Seminole), but the best private club I have ever played is the Waterfall Club in Clayton, Georgia. Some of the most scenic views in the world. Not to mention the course conditions are awesome!
