Hey Northerners – Are you Putting in the Work? (Ep.67)

2 Simple Pre-Swing Tips to Get Out of a Golf Slump – or Winter Hiatus (Ep.59)

Without good setup and alignment, your swing is doomed. Don't get it mixed up. The quickest wins are in your setup and stance - nothing to do with your swing. Most people focus on "in-swing" faults and ignore the "pre-swing". I do the opposite.

Rant: Why Short Sighted Golf Course Operators Suck (Ep.51)

I believe that the most successful businesses (golf or non-golf) take care of the most important things first...and at all costs. It's super upsetting to me to see operators ruining perfectly good businesses - especially golf courses - because they get it totally backwards.

The Simplest Short Game Tip Ever – Better Contact & Distance Control (Ep.44)

For short shots, make a short backswing. For longer shots, make a longer backswing.

You can relax your hands and arms, and the club will bottom out at the very same spot every time.

When I go to Germany every summer, the days are very long. The sun rises around 4:00 am and sets around 10:30 pm. Golf courses over there have come up with a very creative (and simple) solution for bringing in revenue during those odd hours of the day when nobody is working.
