How I Use Golf Simulators to Get the Most from My Practice Time

Written by Jim Bromley, PGA On the PGA Tour, almost all players use a Trackman to learn exactly how far they hit the ball (just look at what Dustin Johnson has accomplished). My practice in the simulator allows me to also check my yardages. Next I try to hit in-between shots. How can I make my 160-yard 7-iron travel 155 yards instead? Am I better hitting a hard 8-iron? It's good to know what works best for you. The most important practice I do is with my wedges. I've learned to make a ... Read more...

Ever wonder why so many golfers grip the club differently?

Is your grip correct? No one can answer that question without seeing you swing. Why is Jordan Spieth's grip different from Rory McIlroy or Dustin Johnson?

What Are You Afraid Of?

[caption id="attachment_951" align="alignright" width="189"] Do you turn your back to your target like Lexi Thompson at the recent US WOMENS OPEN?[/caption] Watching someone try to hit the ball for the very first time is interesting.

Respect the Game (and Each Other)!

How you treat people in your life will say a lot about you. Do you hold up the group behind you? “I paid my fee. They can wait their turn.” Do you press the group ahead? “Hey, while we’re still young!” Or, do you rake bunkers for another in your foursome who is struggling? Do you watch their ball as you would your own to ensure they find it? Do you stare at them hands on hips when they seem to be taking longer than they should putting out? Respect is not just tolerance. Respect is setting ... Read more...
