While winter is not officially here in the northern hemisphere, it sure feels like it has. With that said, that doesn't mean you can't work on improving your golf swing. In fact, now is the BEST time to work on your swing, since you don't have to worry about feeling uncomfortable with your changes while [...]
Now that Winter has arrived here in Maryland and throughout just about everywhere except Florida on the mainland, I thought I would look into what's on the market for golf simulators. A number of years ago when I was still teaching nearly full time, I purchased a golf simulator for indoor teaching. I personally gained [...]
I believe one of the best ways to improve your golf swing is to train with a weighted club. Training with a weighted club sends a stronger signal to the brain, and helps you ingrain better positions throughout the golf swing, particularly the back swing. The Momentus Swing Trainer Iron with Training Grip (Right Hand) [...]
For many of us, especially those of us who live from about Washington, DC and to the north, golf season is effectively over. Sure, we may get another round or two in, but with the cold weather fast approaching, and shorter days, our opportunities will be fewer. With that in mind, it's a good idea [...]
The first thing I tell any new golfer about how to swing a golf club is to think of other athletic moves, such as throwing a baseball. There is a reason why some of the best celebrity golfers are pitchers and quarterbacks...there is a good bit of movement involving the entire body, and they are [...]
For new golfers or people interested in learning to play golf, I thought I'd write a primer on how to play golf. As I started writing, I realized that just discussing the golf course itself, this primer needed to be broken up into multiple posts. So, I decided to produce a series of posts, starting [...]
This past weekend I visited my alma mater, The College of William and Mary, for Homecoming to celebrate my 30th class reunion. While visiting with my friends, naturally, golf came up as a topic since I played for W&M during my college years. My first evening in town I was sharing a couple of pitchers [...]
About 15 years ago, an appraisal client of mine (appraising commercial real estate is how I've paid my bills for nearly 30 years) asked me to play in a four-ball tournament, one that I had won in 1989. I had not played much golf for a few years up to that point, and was quite [...]
A few weeks ago, I played my second round of golf in five years in a friend's annual gathering. I was paired with my friend and two other golfers, none of which can break 90, and two of them can't break 100. I will give a pass to one of them...it's apparent that he rarely [...]
I played a round of golf the other day with a group of friends in their annual outing. This was my second round this year, and effectively, my second round of golf in FIVE years. My last round of golf was about a month ago, and it wasn't pretty, but I had made some progress. [...]
