by: B. J. Hathaway Lowering your scores can be a tricky business because let’s face it, most of you don’t keep performance stats or keep them long enough to gather enough useable data to know where those extra strokes come from. The key though is to know what parts of your game cost you […]

Posted on 20 Mar 2015 / 0 Comment
by: B. J. Hathaway It’s unfortunate but most golfers are never given any instruction on how to make contact (the proper way) with a golf ball. And so from the moment they first begin to play golf their swings become infected with poor habits and compensations which are made worse by the band-aid fix […]
Swinging Left
Posted on 05 Mar 2015 / 0 Comment
by: B. J. Hathaway The phrase “swinging left” is often associated with Ben Hogan and I think it’s a terribly confusing idea for most amateurs.

Posted on 20 Jan 2015 / 0 Comment
How much do you warm-up before a casual round of golf? How much do you warm-up before a tournament? The answer to these two questions should be exactly the same. Some people make the mistake of showing up early to a tournament or event to get in extra practice. Extra swings are fine, if this […]
Your Job in Practice

by: B. J. Hathaway On your next visit to the driving range, I want you to observe the golfers around you and how they practice. Listen in on conversations between golf buddies as they hit balls as well, and I bet you will begin to recognize a trend that exists in your own practice habits […]
Golf as a Workout
Posted on 10 Jan 2015 / 0 Comment
Golf’s reputation for being a sport lacking in physical fitness is not necessarily true. In fact, golf can be a great workout, if you let it be. When you ditch the cart, beer and typical course vices – like smoking or dipping – golf can be beneficial to your health. If someone with an average […]
