The Silent Killer of Good Putting You’ve practiced the stroke. You know the read. You’re standing over a putt you’ve made a hundred times before. But then it hits you: What if I miss? That tiny thought changes everything. Your grip tightens. Your stroke shortens. Your body hesitates. Fear doesn’t just affect your mind—it alters…
If you want to swing faster, hit farther, and generate more clubhead speed without changing your technique, plyometrics might be the missing link in your training. Plyometric exercises — explosive, jump-based movements — train your muscles to fire quickly and efficiently, mimicking the same kind of rapid force production needed in the golf swing. These…
The Face Controls the Flight Most golfers think their slice, hook, or push comes from swinging over the top or dropping too far inside. But if you really want to understand your ball flight, you need to look at one thing first: your clubface at impact. The face angle—not the path—is what determines the majority…
If you consistently shoot in the 90s and want to start breaking into the 80s, you might think the answer lies in hitting more perfect shots. But that’s not where the real difference is. The jump from the 90s to the 80s isn’t about massive swing changes — it’s about refining your habits, making better…
Most amateur golfers experience the same miss over and over, yet they chalk it up to “just a bad swing.” In reality, that miss is a symptom — a clue your swing is sending you. The direction, height, and contact quality of your shots can tell you exactly what’s going wrong in your mechanics, from…
Pitching vs. Chipping: What Shot to Hit from 20 Yards? The 20-yard shot is one of the most misunderstood in golf. Many players freeze up, unsure whether to chip it low or pitch it high. That indecision usually leads to poor contact or picking the wrong shot altogether. And when you guess instead of assess,…
Why Short Putts Mess with Your Head Short putts should be easy. They’re right there. Three to six feet away. You’ve made hundreds of them before. But that’s exactly why they’re so tricky. You expect to make them—so when one lips out or misses badly, your confidence takes a hit. Suddenly, your stroke feels tighter….
If you’ve ever had one great ball-striking day followed by three frustrating ones, you’re not alone. Inconsistency plagues most amateur golfers — not because they lack talent, but because they lack a repeatable swing built on sound fundamentals. The truth is, you don’t need a perfect swing to play great golf. You just need one…
Golf is one of the only sports where you’re your own biggest opponent. The swing may only take a few seconds, but how you think between those swings can make or break your round. Whether it’s nerves on the first tee, frustration after a bad hole, or pressure to close out a great round —…
Golf is one of the few sports where players are expected to call penalties on themselves. That’s why having a solid understanding of the basic rules isn’t just for professionals — it’s essential for every golfer who wants to play with integrity and keep the game fair. But let’s face it: the full Rules of…
