There’s extra-stiff, stiff, regular, and light…or senior flex. We know these as the different shaft flexes offered in golf clubs. Most notably everyone wants to talk shaft flex when it comes to their driver, and everyone wants to talk their swing speed when it comes to selecting a flex. Sure that is an important variable,...
This post was originally published last June. This is the time of year for trade-ins and people upgrading to new equipment so use this as a handy guide to identify that often duplicated, counterfeit Scotty putter. For the most part, the government has cracked down on counterfeit items being sold on third party sites like...
Well, Tiger Woods did it again. Last weekend he spoiled and entertained us with his unworldly talents. But this time it was through his 11 year old son. Its obvious young Charlie has inherited all of his father’s gifts, but he has received some world-class guidance as well. From his incredible impact position to his...
The PGA Tour has announced the revised, tentative schedule for the remaining 2020 season, as well as the fall start for the wrap-around 2020-2021 campaign. 47% of sporting events have been cancelled in 2020, so this step, whether it happens or not, is promising good news.

Tiger Woods’ career has been full of firsts; he was the first to finish a US Open at double-digits under par, the first to win all 4 major championships in a row, etc. Sunday he won the first ever PGA Tour sanctioned event in Japan, the ZOZO Championship. But this isn’t about firsts. It’s about...
The cash is in the Technology. As a golfing consumer, you’ve certainly heard of Tour Edge Golf. But that may be it; you’ve heard of them. You vaguely remember seeing an ad in a magazine or on TV, or you passed their rack at your local golf shop. But I encourage you to keep them...
The average 12 handicap player hits about 6 greens in regulation in an 18 hole round. That is a lot of attempts to get up and down around the green, or from 100 yards and in. A pro or scratch player may hit 12-16 greens in a round, but when they do miss one, it...
I always encourage my students to tune in and watch some ladies’ golf when they can, and no better time to start than now. The Country Club of Charleston will host the 75th U.S. Women’s Open this week. Not only will female amateurs learn a ton by viewing, but many males will as well. Not...
