A golf tip that can work wonders
Idon’t like golf tips or quick fixes one bit. I don’t think they work that well and generally are full of false hope and promises. Although many golf publications rely on golf tips for income – I strongly believe they do more harm than good. The following is more than a quick tip – I…
Why playing more golf might not help your score
How good could you become if you had all of the time in the world to play and practice? Think about it? Imagine if you didn’t have to work and could devote yourself full-time to lowering your handicap. Wouldn’t this be every golfer’s dream? To play and practice on world class facilities with regular lessons…
What I learned from The Open
So Greg Norman couldn’t quite hang on. I think his effort was more than commendable and he should be proud of what he has done. Norman made the Tigerless Open something worth talking about. He didn’t seem to have the same spark on the last day. A nervous and tentative start didn’t help the cause.…

Update on Playing Golf like Tiger
After Tiger won this year’s US Open I wrote about why I think he’s so dominant. Briefly, I believe that he is the most automated and natural athlete in the world. It seems he never plays safe. He lets go, and hits every shot like it’s his last. There appears to be little self-doubt, confusion…
