Swing drills can be a great thing if you get one that is fundamentally sound and that’s not always a sure thing. Here is a good example of two from a great player named Justin Rose. This first drill is as good as it gets, this is a tip that Sam Byrd taught to Ben Hogan [...]
Dustin Johnson has as much raw talent and MORE athletic ability than Tiger Woods. And you can’t say that about anyone else out on the PGA Tour today. There is just one thing holding him back that has cost him 3 major’s and countless regular Tour events already. And it is such an easy fix [...]
It is always amazing to me after a player learns the correct information and fundamentals how far away they can stray from the very things that got them to the top in the vain attempt to “better” themselves and get to the “next level”.

The old adage of you get what you pay for goes completely out the window when it comes to golf lessons. Simply by analyzing what some of these "coaches" are saying is stunning and flat out wrong. Here is a great kid Sean O’Hair getting completely wrong and horrible information from his new instructor. Excuse [...]
