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...

And…Here…We…Go!
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. But what will these events look like and how...
The Golf Course. A Safe Haven
First World Problems With the no touching and minimum six foot distancing rules as of late, we have heard that the golf course is one of the safest, germ-free facilities you could attend right now. Course owners and staff have even gone so far as limiting one player per cart, or shut down riding altogether...
Airing of Grievances
Many Christmases ago, Frank Costanza went to buy a doll for his son George. He reached for the last one they had, but so did another man. As he rained blows upon him, he realized there had to be another way. And that is how the holiday Festivus was born. Now if you’ve never watched...
Tiger Roars to 82

Show the Ladies Some Love
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...
Loft is Your Friend
The days of 7 and 8 degree drivers are long gone. With 2 irons, balata balls, and metal spikes they belong in the garage or donation bin. You won’t even see a driver with that low amount of loft among today’s equipment at your local pro shop or retail golf store. Sure, most drivers today...
Tiger Woods Wins 2019 Master’s with Triumphant Comeback
