Just thought I would share. I have been out of town on business for 10 days. I booked a lesson with the Ping Fitter who did my new S56 irons last x-Mas. My only goal was to fix my Driver swing which has been just awful this season. He remembered that I was knowledgeable about terminology and...

I just know this will make you guys smile. I had two shag bags full of dirty golf balls. My wife passed away early this year, I am single and can do whatever I want. This afternoon I wanted to wash the balls in the rather new washing machine? Noisy, but worked like a charm! Can you just...

Difficulties viewing this video. I have never had difficulties with previous videos. I have paid for it and have the link under the Shop tab. On my Windows 7 laptop this clicking play results in a frame from the video. It will not play. If I do the same on my XP laptop, it plays, but with a...

So sometime early last year I abandoned the Stan Utley putting method and went back to pendulum putting. I bought this Taylormade Spider putter on e-Bay and putted pretty well for the rest of the year. Now I have been studying Mangum, and I like his ideas. So I need this putter to be more...

A while back I posted something about failure to conquer hitting up on my Driver. This post has two topics. The Driver and using the D-Plane to work on hitting up. First the Driver. I spent a bunch of money and miles getting fitted on Trackman about a year ago. Ended up with Ping G15 9...

Can't resist. I was just watching the Champions Tournament. Up pops a tip by Haney pointing out how you must aim twice. Once the normal way, and twice being to aim the club at the top of the backswing. Claims that anything other parallel left of the target will cause problems. The...

Yesterday heard Faldo utter the following, "The best way to hit a hook is to aim the face at your target and then aim your path where you want the ball to start."

Just a short story. Yesterday, I show up to hit balls on our local public course shag area. There are just two of us. I hear instructions coming from the other guy's area. So after a while I allow my curious nature to go over and investigate. The guy is listening to the above referenced...

I just stumbled on Brian's video on Mid-Body Hands. In it he uses a descriptive phrase I have heard him use before. The phrase is "Clubface vertical to the ground." Frankly, I need further explanation. I am having trouble picturing what vertical to the ground means.

Snow on the ground and below freezing temps created cabin fever which I relieved somewhat with some e-Bay activity. Thanks to a couple of posts praising Titleist 735 CM's I began to investigate these irons. I currently play Titleist 695 CB's 1/2 over, 3 degrees up and have played 2 up...

Stumbled across this .pdf, which explains the various measurements. http://thebrandingengine.com/WAMUser/UserFiles/243/File/TrackmanDataReport.pdf

Duckslice's rephrased question let's us know that he is a golf instructor seeking to improve his methods. Fit's right in with Brian's GTE goals. Let me expand on my lesson. I'm around a 10 and have played off and on for 50 years. I had already told him what I wanted to work on. Number 1 was...

This is just a little one time observation. Today I witnessed a guy, late 20's I would guess, practicing putting. I swear he never putted 3 in a row before that phone went off with a call, or a text message. This went on for about 45minutes. He had it on vibrate, so no distraction. The...

So I watch the Barclays. There's Marino, with the pause at the top. Ernie is interviewed and says, he went back to pausing at the top. Kind of old school, like I did for about 30 some odd years. So I went to the range. Thought about nothing but rhythm, setting the club at the top and waiting...

Searching for the right phrase, Sheesh! is about right. Played our tournament today at a very nice old style tree lined Country Club. I have been having trouble getting the Driver up to normal height for about three weeks. Double bogeyed the first to holes with errant tee shots. On the next...

Thought I woudl share this one. I'm hitting balls and my friend shows up with a young guy. Turns out my friend has volunteered to coach the golf team at a unique school that is attached to the university in town. These are high school guys. So he asks me to help out with this one student, 15...

Thought I would post my thoughts about my first lesson. This is really about what I thought would happen versus what did happen. I met Brian at the range in Louisville promptly at 8 AM last Wednesday. It was cold, with a very slight drizzle coming down occasionally. We got right to it, so to...
