Fairway Bunkers: Digging In and Choking
Monday, March 3rd, 2008Here’s something I often forget when playing from fairway bunkers (fortunately I don’t find myself in those too often, knock on wood):
Hold Your Finish at the Range
Monday, March 3rd, 2008I noticed something interesting at the range the other day: The best hitters were all holding their finishes, “posing” until their balls had stopped rolling.
The typical not-so-goods (including me), well, don’t. Rushing to set up the next shot is more what I see with this crowd.
Train for Alignment
Monday, March 3rd, 2008I like to remind myself of this little visual imagery trick periodically.For more accurate aim and alignment, visualize that you’re standing on the inside rail of a railroad track, and the ball is on the outside rail… which, of course, runs parallel to the one you’re standing on.

Last Minute Wrist Cock Release
Monday, November 13th, 2006All PGA Tour players are long ball hitters… at least when compared to us. What else do they all have in common? Watch them closely: They all have and hold their wrists cocked until the very last moment right before impact. Held wrist cock = Power? You betcha!
Introducing Golfdirt Quicktips: Try, Keep or Chuck
Monday, November 13th, 2006Am I the best golfer in the world? Not even close. But I am a writer and a halfway decent fact/data collector (hoarder, really). For some reason, I’ve been keeping notes on the tons of golf tips I can’t help but stumble upon online and off. Years’ worth of the stuff.
Well, I’ve decided to go through my golf tip notebooks and text files and start posting all my faves right here.
