Hello Forum Members, I'm sitting in the airport in Vegas catching up on E-mail for the last couple of days and I thought I'd give you guys some insights on my first GTE. I had a great time with Brian and the attendees. The guys were great and it was a nice mix of young and ... more mature:) I...

Gotham Golf Blog: Martin Chuck Who has had the greatest influence on your teaching ability? "In recent times, I’ve learned a lot from Brian Manzella. I’d have to say he’s the person that has pushed the envelope and made us think more about fact and fiction. He’s today’s version of what Mike...

Pictured, Jim Flick, telling the golfing world to "sweep" the ball out of fairway bunkers and even mentions Sandy Lyle's great shot at Augusta back in the day. He failed to mention that the lip on that bunker is 8' tall and it requires an "educated" flip to artificially elevate the ball. I...

So, I just completed a round robin Fourball match play tournament. I had the good fortune of being on the winning side after 5 matches. Yea for me. The teams were comprised of Pro/Pro, Pro/Am and Am/Am. Anyone could play; all you had to do was qualify and be among the low 32 teams. My partner...

Okay, who's with me? Let's have a one club contest plus your putter. A couple of you guys out there may have time. Rules Course length 6200 or longer at sea level and 6500 plus at elevation. _______________________________ I may get a round in this week and I'll do it with my six or seven...

Okay, bare with me on this... With your target arm and left hand in a golf grip orientation, place your thumb pad (thumb print) on a table. It's fair to say your thumb nail would be parallel to the table (and ground). Let's assume that grip orientation with the thumb print level to the table is...

Hello Folks, Brian Manzella here. I edited this thread to remove the blatant rules violations and some reaction to those. Let's make this a good solid thread. Thanks, BManz :) Below is the first one from Martin Chuck: Never ground the club! While I've been couped up all fricken...

Rules of Golf Memorization Trick The key to memorizing the 28 basic rules of golf starts by associating the rules with a golf course that you know like the “back of your hand.” You will visualize each hole on your favorite course and the corresponding rule number will match the hole number...

Assuming you are NOT swinging out to right field, how likely is it that a player can have too much forward lean at impact?

Of course this matters for someone who has developed the skills to repeat this formula. Most folks can't come close to repeating the same D plane and power source and it is random at best. Thus, imo, they need to understand all the elements that allow them to control the true path, true...

Have any of you guys tried this: Golf Swing Trainer, The Orange Whip Golf Trainer I don't get to play much any more and this thing keeps me pretty flexible and ready to go to the tee. It's very flexible and counter weighted. It is WAY better than a weighted club as it promotes lag. I don't...

I watched the final round of the PGA for the second time last night. It was still awesome even though I new the outcome. Yes. I am a golf nerd and proud of it. That said: how many of you notice all the little divots Sergio took with his Driver and 3-wood when the ball was on a peg!! Granted...

Hello all in Manzellaland. I'm a club pro, love to teach, feel that I help folks and sometimes I can't help myself! I'm a scratch player and will have rounds between 67 and 77. Irons and short shots are the strength of my game. Driver is the achilles heel. Generally a pull-hook is the miss...

I recently had a long talk with a PGA Tour player and former winner on Tour. He lost his card this year. He'll be playing on the Nationwide Tour. I won't mention his name as I'm paraphrasing and those guys are a pretty touchy lot and I'm sure someone out there is webland knows him. I asked him...

Gang, I could use your help with a "syndrom" I see with some students that has me pretty darn puzzled. Let's assume the have a decent hold on the club, acceptable posture, ball position, overall a set up ready to strike the ball. THEN.... I call it the "Statue of Liberty" backswing. Rather...
