I found this interesting: Tiger Woods is 154th on Tour in greens in regulation, finding the putting surface at a less-than-impressive clip of 61.11 percent, 110th in fairways hit, a woeful 200th in total driving and 57th in putting average (putts made per green in regulation). from this...

I took an old set of 1988 Hogan Apex blades with the stock Apex #4 shafts out for a 9 hole round yesterday. I haven't hit these clubs in years. They are almost 20 years old, but they still look fairly new. I was shocked that these clubs, at least for my swing, were not only longer, but more...

Clearly, plane angle is not the only component that influences divot depth, as some teachers will lead you to believe. On one hand we have Colin Montgomerie who pretty much picks the ball with his upright, turning shoulder plane angle. Jack pretty much picked it. Greg Norman picked it with...

In Peter Kessler's post U.S. Open podcast he made a statement like, "So does Tiger dump Hank Haney now like O'meara just did?" This was news to me. Can anyone confirm that O'meara dumped Haney? Was it because he finally figured out that the parallel planes BS doesn't work or was it a jealousy...

Brian, What can we all learn (and possibly apply) from Phil Mickelson's current fade pattern? For starters... I am not sure how he previously gripped it, but I think he now has a "Manzella Neutral" grip ala Johnny Miller.

He's 3 under through 54 holes and headed for a top thirty finish. I hope he turns in a good round on Sunday and gets back on track.

I am having a bit of trouble controlling the speed on my putts. I've been striking the ball well lately, but I haven't been converting many birdie opportunities because I haven't been stroking the ball with consistently good speed. What are your best tips or drills for gaining control of your...

I can't find the Right Forearm Pickup mentioned anywhere (at least not by that exact phrase) in TGM book. I have been searching for awhile. Can someone help me out with references? I have 1982 edition.

I recently cut a hole in the butt-end of the grip of an old 8 iron and stuck an old shaft into the 8 iron to create what I call my "plane stick" club. I can swing it back and down while pointing the butt end of the shaft at the plane line, but I can't take it much past post-impact because the...

This was taken this morning before work on a cheap digital camera. Front view. I'll post the down-the-line view tomorrow. Don't hold back. Let me know where improvements could be made. If anyone would like to take a swag at nailing down some of the component variations, I would appreciate...
