Where's Your Game Headed?

"He who fails to plan, plans to fail." Okay, we've all heard that one before. Maybe you heard it when you took your family on week-long road trip and ran out of money half way through. Maybe you heard it from the boss at work after realizing the prospect wasn't going to be available this morning.

Golf is Too Hard! Tradition or Truth?

Ten years ago, two PGA Tour players got an idea to develop a way to help people of all ages get in and stay in the game. Their ideas focused on having fun executing four different golf strokes in a variety of games each producing feedback designed to help the beginner learn the game. Their methodology is drastically simplified from what is often imparted in beginner golf clinics and is easier to remember. Let me explain.
