This was an amazing final round of the US Open.  I love it when there's tons of people in contention and ESPECIALLY when it's because they're all playing really well.  This year there were more people in contention compared to last year when Jon Rahm won, but we did see some similar bread crumbs in the success. For me I saw 2 main things that the weekend golfer can learn from this final round. One revolves around puttingThe other about target selectionIf you'd like some help with your...

Have you ever heard of SIFY?  No, not Lady Sif and the warriors three from the Thor movies, but Shots Inside Fifty Yards.  This has been a metric I've been following closer and closer so I can determine what is really holding back my score. Most people will average a little more than 36 putts per round and (especially weekend golfers) will probably miss 16/18 greens in regulation.  If we're really being honest with ourselves we can probably say of those 16 greens we miss, we will also duff...

I cracked the code on improving your distance without buying new clubs.  Here's how! Ever since I was a kid (probably around age 14) I was always able to out drive adults who were nearly twice my size.  The secret for me was the separation between my hands and my chest. This allowed me to increase my swing arc and (say it with me) REDUCE VARIALBES IN MY SWING!  By slightly shortening the length of my backswing so I could maintain that big separation (keeping my hands directly in front of my...

Throughout any golf journey you will see ups and downs in your scores, as well as periods where you play a lot or sometimes don't!  For me, living in Wisconsin I have to suffer through winter.     Sure I can go to a simulator, but that can get really expensive in a rather short amount of time.   Here are three ways you can practice your golf game during your offseason to ensure you are as ready as ever when the season starts back up for you.   If you want to have some say in what is...
