I'm having a slight problem with the soft draw pattern. Now don't get me wrong this is my current preferred pattern and I shot a 36 on my own ball in a best ball 9 using this pattern this weekend, so I love it when I have it cooking. However, occasionally, I'm getting what I would refer to as...

Over the past few months, I've seen Brian's and others view on the golf swing, evolve. The evolution has been from one of a TGM hands in front of the club, maintain right wrist bend, to more of an arthur jones type swing.

I've have a relatively strong left wrist and in an effort to take the left side out of play, I've recently been cupping the left wrist slightly at the top and flattening it through the downswing (similar to Hogan's move). Three things I've noticed, One it takes the left more out of play, two...

Ok, for those of you who consistently play in leagues or club tournaments how much sandbagging do you think goes on? To give you guys an example, I'm a 6 index/7 handicap at my club. In our 9 hole league last week, I got absolutely absolutely hammered by a 23 handicap (who just happened to have...

I was watching some clips of Jimmy Ballard and I began thinking, is Jimmy Ballard's left elbow down, connected left arm, horizontal hinging, and Brian's wedding ring up, really all the same concept? The more I watch Ballard's teachings, the more he makes a lot of sense. I'm not sure I agree...

Ok, playing good golf today and all of a sudden on a 110 yd shot, i hit a hosel rocket. No big deal, fluke, then I do it again from 70 yds on a par 5. Ughhh.. Two holes later, I'm so friggin scared to hit it, I remember that according to Brian, these are caused by being too open and lagging...

Ok, this year I'm playing in our clubs Match play championship and am now heading to the fourth round. I'll also play in the club championship for the first time. How do you guys prepare for this? Also, how to you prepare for match play? do you just play your game, or do you actually make...

I know we had a lot of talk recently about snapping the kinetic chain, by posting up on a firm left side. I was just thinking that Tiger's recent injuries, is this an example of the downside of creating too much snap. I wonder if he continued the lower body pivot a little or opened his left...

Ok, ball striking is great, but I've got a shot that is absolutely killing me, and that's the 10-30 pitch. Yesterday, I'm 25 yds short of a par 5 in two need to pitch it over a bunker onto the green and flat sh#$% it over the green. Lately I either shank these, or I make sure the club stays...

Has anybody here tried it, I see it's starting to make a comeback, aka Sam Snead. Seems to make sense logically, but It's definitely not a commonly used method.

I must say, I am impressed by Morgan Pressel this week. She's 3 under through two rounds of the Mcdonalds an LPGA Major, playing 6600 yds, and she's only averaging 215 off the tee. Makes me feel so friggin bad about my game, I can consistently hit it 260-270, and no way in h$%%, could I shoot...

My son enjoys golf (8 yrs old.), and hits a decent (lee janzen) timed flip. He's very right arm dominent and just wants to go after the ball hard with his right hand. His right just overpowers his left and he struggles with the idea of rolling the left arm. Any suggestions on how to get him...

Ughh.. I'm frustrated. I started this game with a slice, learned over time to draw the ball and played well that way, however, started fighting the occasional hook. In an effort to learn how to fade the ball, I've completely forgotten how to release the club, Body spins left, ball goes...

Wow, what an exhibition Annika put on this week. A complete model of efficiency. She has what appears to me to be a Jimmy Ballard type swing. Not very dynamic, but just rock solid. Anyway, should be fun watching her and Ochoa the rest of the season.

Ok guys, what's the breakdown on this kid. A lot of hype around him ever since his Jr. days in California. All American at Oklahoma, wins Rookie of the year and now wins a big time event. Word is he's pretty confident and has a swagger about him, all I can say is I love this kid's swing.

I have an 8 year old son who enjoys getting out and playing. Right now all I'm telling him is to act like he's throwing his arms at the target, order to get him to use his whole body. I'm trying to get the concept of just swinging and the ball will get in the way. I don't want to...

I've read several posts of people saying they can't "hold the twistaway" on the downswing. Well, I was struggling with the same thing, except I hit the occasional snap hook. The key for me and my son has been, to make sure you are hinging the left hand correctly. Remember the left hand just...

First of all, congrats to Trevor Immelman. Played great golf all weekend and definitely deserved the win. But I have to laugh at these commentators and Gary Player saying he strikes it like Hogan. For crying out loud, I don't believe the guy had finished higher than 40th in an event this year...

Played golf with a guy today who made everything. All he did was keep his body still and pop the ball with his hands, it was all wrists. Very similar to the old Bobby Jones style of putting. Made me wonder why people don't putt that way any longer, takes a lot of the moving parts out of the...

I was watching Jim McLean's breakdown of Lee Trevino's swing the other day on the golf channel, nothing great there. However, Lee himself was speaking and he started discussing the number one problem with amateur golfers was that they flipped their wrists coming into impact. What he...
