One of the toughest shots for the amateur is hitting out of a bunker/sand trap. A big reason is because you just don’t practice that shot very often. Unless you belong to a club with a practice short game area there aren’t a lot of public courses that contain a practice bunker. And with how...
Three of the most popular questions I get asked as a swing coach are “How do I hit it farther, how do I take my range swing to the golf course, and why do I hit my 3-wood better than my driver?” If I had a dime for each time I heard these questions I’d...
Sometimes what was meant to be a temporary situation or something just for fun ends up being a successful, long-term solution. Thus is the case with the Cink’s. Stewart and son Reagan have formed a dynamic duo that was intended to be a one or two-off. Reagan looped the bag for dad at the first...

I’ve often stuck up for Patrick Reed. I like his game and his golf swing. He plays with a lot of passion and gusto. He’s a perfect guy to have on your side in team events. He wins on extremely tough and famous courses; Doral, Augusta, and now Torrey Pines to name a few. In...
Ladies bust out your hip-hugger jeans and fellas throw on your oversize Tommy Hilfiger polos and douse yourself in Curve cologne. Allow Britney Spears or N*Sync to serenade you as you read. Callaway Golf is taking us all back to the early 2000’s with their 2021 equipment line. Instead of Ross and Rachel, it’s Bertha...
