Why the Putter Grip Deserves More Attention When most golfers think about grip, their minds go straight to the full swing. They’ll work on neutral hand position, grip pressure, and finger placement—but when it comes to putting, the grip often becomes an afterthought. That’s a mistake. Your putting grip is just as important as your…
One of the most common questions golfers ask is, “How far should I hit my 8 iron?” It sounds simple, but the answer varies widely depending on your skill level, swing speed, contact quality, and even the weather conditions on any given day. There’s no one-size-fits-all number. While one golfer might comfortably hit their 8…
What Is Lag and Why It Matters Lag is the angle created between the shaft of the golf club and your lead arm during the downswing. When this angle is maintained properly as you move toward impact, it stores potential energy — almost like a loaded spring — that gets released at the bottom of…
Golf is as much a mental game as it is a physical one. And nothing tests that mental side more than the dreaded triple bogey. One bad hole can derail an entire round if you let it — but it doesn’t have to. The best golfers know how to reset quickly, regain confidence, and avoid…

They hit ball after ball toward the green without a clear plan or purpose, and it quickly becomes a repetitive grind. The result? Limited improvement and frustration when those skills don’t translate to the course. That’s where chipping…
Resetting Your Expectations and Mindset Coming back to golf after a long layoff can be humbling. Whether you’ve been away due to injury, bad weather, a busy life, or just a loss of motivation, the first thing to address is your mindset. Too many golfers return expecting to swing like they did months ago —…
How Wind Affects the Golf Ball’s Flight When you’re out on the course and feel a strong breeze, your first thought might be, “This could cost me some distance.” But wind impacts much more than just how far your ball travels — it can affect the height of your shot, its direction, its spin rate,…
