  • When Learning Golf, Focus On The Body, Not The Arms
    By: Scott Cole | - When most people are taught how to play golf and swing a golf club, the focus tends to be too much on using the arms to swing the club. In fact, new golfers, and even experienced golfers, should focus most of their attention on how to move the body properly in the golf swing.

    This focus on the arms in the golf swing is occasionally referred to as the "arm swing" illusion. New golfers, when they try to mimic a PGA tour player's swing, feel that in order to generate power, they must ...

  • Is The Stack And Tilt Golf Swing For You?
    By: Scott Cole | - One of the most hotly debated topics in golf circles for the last couple years is whether the Stack and Tilt golf swing will truly revolutionize the game of golf and golf instruction in general. Many proponents of the swing are almost cult like in their selling of the model, while more traditional instructors appear to be equally fanatical in their opposition.

  • The Fastest Way To Learn Golf
    By: Scott Cole | - Most people can probably agree, at least those that have tried it, that golf is a very difficult game to learn, particularly for adults. Kids, particularly younger children, have a greater ability to imitate than adults do, so they tend to pick up the game much more quickly. Adults, on the other hand, may have developed injuries or other physical issues that impair their ability to swing a golf club properly. Nonetheless, adults have much more difficulty imitating a good golf swing.

  • Lower Your Golf Scores Fast
    By: Scott Cole | - Most golf instruction is focused on the full swing, since most golfers desire to hit the ball better and farther. It is estimated that 80 to 85 percent of all golf instruction is focused on the full swing. However, most good instructors know that the fastest way to lower the scores of their students is to focus on the short game.

    Most golfers hardly ever practice their short game to begin with. Before each round of golf, they tend to only spend a few minutes hitting putts and chip s ...

  • The Best Golf Swing Model
    By: Scott Cole | - As the golf training aid industry continues to grow, so now is the golf swing model industry.

  • Can Golf Instruction Work For You?
    By: Scott Cole | - The golf ball flies 20 yards further than it did thirty years ago. The golf clubs have larger sweet spots, which make it easier to hit the ball straighter, and mis-hit shots will also fly further. There is an entire industry devoted to selling training aids, video lessons and even golf fitness ideas. We even have the Golf Channel on TV! Yet, the average handicap for both men and women has not changed over this period of time. Why?

    The blame should be placed upon both teacher an ...

  • Think Your Way To A Lower Golf Handicap
    By: Jack Moorehouse | - Personal records drive golfers to succeed. Setting a goal of breaking 90 for the first time or chopping two strokes from your golf handicap compels us to work hard, practice smart, and stay focused. It also compels use to think differently when facing difficult shots. We continually find ourselves asking the question: What's the best shot in this situation? When it's all over, you want to know if you're playing the right shot at critical times in the round.

  • The Toughest Shot In Golf
    By: Jack Moorehouse | - Ever wonder what's the toughest shot in golf? Candidates abound.

  • Designing The Perfect Golf Swing
    By: Jack Moorehouse | - Most of us bring our A games to the course about 10 percent of the time. The rest of the time we bring our B, C, or D games. Sometimes, we even bring our F games. This variation in games is based on inconsistency. We're inconsistent because most of us learn our swings through trial and error, not by taking private golf lessons or attending group golf instruction sessions. As a result, our swings are a hodgepodge of adjustments that make consistency elusive and kill our golf handicaps.

  • Curing Swing Flaws Helps Reduce Golf Handicaps
    By: Jack Moorehouse | - Consistency is key to achieving a low golf handicap. If you play well for long stretches, you'll reduce your handicap. If you play poorly for long stretches, you'll increase your golf handicap. But playing well for long periods is a challenge. When your swing is in tune, you'll need to practice and play a lot to keep it that way. When your swing is out of tune, you'll need to know why it's out of tune and how to improve it. But correcting swing flaws can take awhile. So unless you can afford gol ...

  • The Evolution Of Golf Instruction And Golf Fitness
    By: Scott Cole | - Nowadays, you can find a multitude of golf instruction and golf fitness sites on the internet. Golf fitness has come to the fore as PGA Tour pros have evolved into more fit athletes due to the domination of Tiger Woods. As a result, we see far fewer golfers on tour like Tim "Lumpy" Herron and John Daly, and a lot more athletic looking golfers such as Tiger, Adam Scott and Camillo Villegas.

    Golf instruction is now evolving into a profession that involves far more than just giving a ...

  • Controlling Trajectories Helps Lower Golf Handicap
    By: Jack Moorehouse | - Learning to control trajectory is a powerful, stroke-saving skill. It can get you out of many trouble spots when you need to the most, like when you need to punch out from a clump of trees. It even leaves you with an easily makeable putt when pitching to the green. Controlling trajectory can turn two, or even three, strokes into one. More importantly, it can help cut strokes from your golf handicap.

    Your club has two lofts—as students often learn in golf lessons. One is the "b ...

  • Conquer The Perimeter For A Better Golf Handicap
    By: Jack Moorehouse | - The perimeter around the green is the single most important area in golf. Players who have solid games from there always score better than those who don't. Unfortunately, many golfers with high golf handicaps don't practice their perimeter skills. Chipping a few balls before playing isn't practicing. Neither is taking golf lessons or reading golf tips. If you want to improve your perimeter game, you must take practice seriously.

    Weekend golfers don't usually practice much because it ...

  • Five Golf Tips From An Old Caddy
    By: Jack Moorehouse | - A short time ago I came across an article penned by a local man who had been caddying since he was a kid. Few courses still have caddies. But back then many courses had them. During his career he had caddied for players with both high and low golf handicaps. He had even caddied for a few professional golfers in his time that had wandered into town for one tournament or another.

    The caddy chatted about a number of things, like the changes he saw during his time on the bags, such as t ...

  • Strengthen Shoulders To Lower Golf Handicap
    By: Jack Moorehouse | - Strengthen Shoulders To Lower Golf Handicap

    You don't need golf instruction sessions to learn to drive the ball long and straight. But you do need to make a good shoulder turn. It creates the torque needed to strike the ball solidly. Good ballstriking helps lower your scores and trim your golf handicap. Unfortunately, not everyone makes a good turn. Some fear they'll mis-hit the ball if the turn too far. Others are unaware of the importance of a good turn. And some can't turn beca ...

  • Golf Instruction
    By: Graham Fenemore | - When we come to getting golf instruction we want to be sure we are getting the best. We want to get instruction that will begin by ensuring we are assisting our body in getting the action right. Many of us golfers, when performing our golf swing (you can also read back swing here), let our left knee go down on the back swing. The outcome of this is that our shoulder will drop causing our hips to sway and overturn. Don't allow the knee to move. Good golf posture encourages us to maintain a steady ...

    "That's just for beginners," they say citing their current 19 handicap as evidence that they have progressed beyond working on their grip, posture, and alignment. But talk about the "X-Factor" or "Speed Stick" or "The Power Move" or "The Magic Pill" or "The ...
