As an example, Dave Stockton teaches his amazing and, I believe, groundbreaking putting method in this one session, saving you some thousands of dollars and a trip to California. It is really phenomenal and all you have to do is tune in. It's going to resonate with you, plus it's not complicated and doesn't require anything more than what you already have!
Not sure about anyone else but somehow I just cannot root against Phil Mickelson. He is, well . . . just too damn nice of a guy. Lot of people knock Phil because he's too "scripted" - everything he says seems to be thought out - "Mr. No Spontaneity," he's sometimes called.
I personally just don't get it. Phil seems to be one of the most articulate players on tour and to my mind always shares valuable insight into his game and golf in general.
This really seemed like a different Phil in a lot of ways. I just got the impression that it's was awesome to win ...
I watched both interviews with Tiger yesterday. One with Kelly Tilghman of
The Golf Channel and the one above with Tom Rinaldo of ESPN.
Both covered a lot of ground and both were fairly candid I thought. To me anyway, it certainly does look like a new Tiger - in a lot of ways.
He mentioned that he got away from his core values - which I imagine, might be fairly easy to do when you have access to almost anything as a mega millionaire and one of the most famous athletes on the planet.
In a strange way, this, obviously (and I say obviously because it could ...

This guy Jamie Sadlowski is incredible to watch in this long drive contest video. Talk about sheer power! The guy is 5'10" tall and 165 lbs!
A couple things I noticed when watching his swing. First, it is so well balanced. Not some sort of wind up and casting at the ball - like your trying to kill a squirrel with a hockey stick!
Therefore, consider going slightly wider in your stance when hitting the driver. You need a solid base when you generate greater speed by swinging the driver.
Second, the takeaway and backswing are very deliberate and not rushed. It takes time to build energy and power - which is a good reminder for anyone.
I know, it can sometimes be depressing ...
I mentioned in my last post
Golf Swing Turn! Turn! Turn! that I recently took a lesson at a local club and wanted to share the video with our audience.
So, I'm going to expose my swing in order to get some feedback on it. My swing is in a bit of trouble - mostly some serious power leaks.
The video does stop at certain points but will continue after a few moments. Towards the end you will see a view from behind.
Really would love any comments and/or feedback.
Not sure about you but I never tire of seeing the power and beauty of Ben Hogan's golf swing on video.
I happened to come across this Ben Hogan video, which I had not seen before. A lot of the footage I had not seen either so it was a pretty cool find (for me anyway)
Additionally, it has a nice, new-age soundtrack allowing you to fully concentrate on the swing.
Now that I am thinking about it, it is nice not to have verbal analysis of a golf swing for a change - what your left with is a
classic golf swingthat is just beautiful to watch. Enjoy.
Would love to hear ...
The golf downswing is one of the most critical moves in obtaining a consistent golf swing. And there is no one better to help explain (and show) this key move then Tiger's coach, Hank Haney.
One note: an important point Hank mentions is "You can't make a proper downswing unless you complete a proper backswing" I thought that was a critical insight and further emphasizes the connectedness of the golf swing as one motion, not separate ones.

If you haven't seen this video yet and you're a golf enthusiast or fan, then it's a must. If someone you know says that golf is a stupid game or a waste of time, show it to them.
For me, this video gets to the heart of golf, it's not about playing the game as much as it's about the MAGIC of the game.
It demonstrates better than a thousand or 10,000 words ever could why golf is inspirational on so many levels. Enjoy and pass it on!
Kenny Perry is probably THE hottest golfer on the planet today. It really is amazing to think he is playing his best golf of his career into his late 40's.
It's a curious thing. I have heard him say before that nothing has really changed in his routine, workouts, etc. It's just "clicking" in a way it has not before.
Funny, that has happened to me on occasion. I have played really good golf for a few seasons, then, nothing. I hate to admit it but I am in one of those "valley" stages (as opposed to "Peaks") Oh well, that's life (and golf).
But back to Mr. Perry. I just love this guy. ...
I, for one, am so glad to see David Duval back and swinging like the Duval of old. And I really enjoy his recent US Open interviews.
He has always been known to be an intelligent guy but it is just fascinating to hear someone who has been to the utter bottom and fought his way back and what it was like. John had a nice article on this a few years back, called,
David Duval As Teacher
But then again he also depicted his demise in,
The End of David Duval's Pro Career. So what do you think now, John???
Although there appears to be a *slight* David Duval weight gain (heck, he's a fairly new dad now so has ...
