The best thing about this golf blog and writing about the game is helping everyday golfers from around the world. Yesterday alone I received a call from Japan and the below email from a newish golfer from the USA. I’ve been playing for a year and just can’t seem to swing the club. Lessons from…
Andrew sent me the following quote from Ben Hogan; “If you were teaching a child to open a door, you would help the child learn about the door knob, so he could open the door for himself. You would not open the door and explain what you did.” Golfers should not be asked to memorize…
