A lot of golfers focus only on making better swings.But scoring also comes down to better decisions. I’ve seen players hit the ball solid all day and still struggle because they were aiming at pins they had no business going after. Once we adjusted targets, scores dropped without changing the swi...

Ball flight isn’t a mystery

When ball flight changes day to day, most golfers assume something is wrong with their swing.More often, it’s a contact issue. I worked with a player who said, “I don’t know why it goes left one day and right the next.” Once we shifted the focus to where the club was contacting the ground, the ba...

Speed control isn’t random

A lot of golfers believe speed control is feel-based.That’s why it feels inconsistent. This came up with a player who said, “Some days I just have touch, some days I don’t.” Once we looked at rhythm and routine instead of feel, their long putts started finishing in the same window over and over. ...

Your warm-up is hurting you

Confidence follows cl...

Once we adjusted setup, the motion changed without us touching the swing itself. The swing usually isn’t broken —...

The real reason 3-putts happen

Most golfers think they 3-putt because of speed.That’s rarely the full story. This came up twice in lessons this week. Players were convinced distance control was the issue, but when we looked closer, the ball wasn’t even starting where they thought it was. Once we cleaned up start line, speed be...

Why your practice isn’t sticking

You’re not practicing too little.You’re practicing without a clear purpose. I see this all the time — players doing a lot of “good things,” but none of it really sticking when they get on the course. This week, I worked with a player who was committed, motivated, and putting in the time. But ever...
