TIP OF THE WEEKS
  • SNAP IT for Turbo POWER

    If you want more pars, let’s focus on your lead leg (front leg) during the downswing. What’s it doing? Ideally during the transition, we want to snap it -straighten it —as we push into the ground at an angle. This gives us tremendous power —effortless power— to sling the club through the strike z...

  • Vertical Hinge Chip Technique (and why it's magic)

    If you want more pars, join me on the course as I play this chip shot. I’m selecting my land spot and I show you how to vertically hinge the club so you can get more height and get it close to the pin. This shot is elevated so instead of rolling it to the hole, I’m flying it closer to the hole. I...

  • Get In the Slot (grab a tee)

    Do you want to get in the coveted slot? If yes, then grab a tee and let’s groove swing direction. Swing direction plays a key role during the downswing. Plus, this is something you can take to the course ( if you’re playing a casual round with pals). Place the tee a few inches ahead and slightly ...

  • Pitch Tweener (the 40- to 60-yard shot)

    If you want more pars, but struggle with those tweener shots, the 40- to 60-yard shot just around the green, then this tip is for you. I share my process with club choice and the length of my swing. I’m not a big fan of using my 58° and a full swing. I would prefer a half swing and grabbing my pi...

  • Downswing Mistake (shoulder line)

    If you want more pars, let’s make sure your shoulder line is behaving on the downswing. Where players go off the shoulder line elevates too soon during the downswing and this will create a low point that is behind the ball. Your miss will be a chunk or topped shot.  Instead, let’s get your should...

  • Bunker Essentials (like how to open the face correctly)

    Bunker Essentials (super simple for newer golfers)
    If you want more pars, let’s make sure you have the bunker essentials. I cover in detail everything you need to be a successful bunker player from set up to finish. Let’s get to it. 

  • Which Grip is Best for YOU?

    If you want more pars, let’s identify the best grip for you. Should you have a strong, neutral or weak grip? I recommend a stronger grip for most recreational players because it’s easier to square the face. Where players go off, they have a weak grip and they’re not able to add the necessary flex...

  • Downswing Torso MUST Go Low

    If you want more pars, let’s improve your downswing by going low with your torso. Where players go off during the downswing, their torso elevates too soon. That’s why you top it, chunk it, weak-right, or early release. Instead, I share why it’s essential that you go low and how to overcome the fe...

  • Bunker Torso Magic

    If you want more pars, let’s make sure you’re rotating your torso properly in the bunker. Where players go off, they just use the arms and hands to get the ball out. Instead, let’s focus on torso rotation to get the ball out in one and on with your life. 

  • Putt Speed Drill (3 targets)

    If you want more pars, grab three baskets or three targets of your choice and let’s work on your putting speed. This is a smart way to practice because the objects are sitting on top of the green versus below the green. This helps train being more reactionary versus worrying about getting it in t...

  • Downswing (how Rotation works)

    If you want more pars, let’s dive into the downswing. I share the key points on what the best players in the world do and it really comes down to staying in your posture + rotation. Where players go off, they stop rotating the body. That’s where the torso elevates and get into big trouble.

  • Green Reading Tips

    If you want more pars, join myself and the campers as we read the green. This is the first step to getting more one putts. Many players struggle with green reading. I share a simple process and some must-do’s to get the ball in the vacation zone (inside 18 inches) for a stress-free second putt.

  • Chip Essentials every golfer needs

    If you want more pars, let’s get you the chip essentials with this great set up station that you can use in your practice. Many players are not clear how to practice their chipping. This is a great station that helps you with ball position in general set up. It also helps you with the motion in y...

  • Backswing Culprits

    Backswing Culprits
     If you want more pars, let’s make sure you are not committing any of these backswing power zappers. Players get into trouble when they move outside of their range of motion to find power when it really comes from the ground. Let’s identify the most common so you can keep your ...

  • Bunker Blues (Let’s Fix This)

    If you want more pars, let’s make sure you have the bunker essentials and understand the set up and how to splash it out consistently. Players go off is their set up does not promote sand-first contact. Players try to help the ball in the air and their set up promotes that which is not what we’re...

  • Extra Bonus Spin (Pitch or Chips)

    If you want more pars, let’s get you some extra bonus spin around the green with your pitch and chip shots. I’ll show you a great way to add extra spin with a very simple move. For extra spin, a good wedge, a clean dry ball (preferably a premium ball) and dry grass are key ingredients too.


  • Release Clarity Part 2

    If you want more pars join me in Part 2 of Release Clarity. A lot of players are not clear how to release the club. In fact many players aren’t clear what the release really is. I dive deep in this two part episode so you are crystal clear on how to release the club. 

  • Release Clarity Part 1

  • Get the Movement FIRST (great at-home golf practice)

    Get the Movement FIRST (great at-home golf practice)
    If you want more pars, let’s head to the wall using my MORE PARS training ball. You can also use just a regular basketball. I like using a ball over a club with this training so you can really focus on the movement pattern versus worrying about...

  • Alignment Process (you can take to the course)

    If you want more pars, but struggle with alignment on the course, then this tip is for you. Learn how to set your club face to your intended target and where your body is in relation to that, as well as how to walk into the shot consistently. Join myself and the campers as they learn a simple ali...

  • PUTT (like the pros)

    If you want more pars, let’s get you a pro-like putting stroke. We are going to focus on your finish—your follow-through during the putting stroke. Where players go off, their follow-through is very long. A long follow-through will mess with physics. Instead, let’s look at the pros. What do they ...

  • Delete the Word Shift (asap)

    if you want more pars, let’s delete the word SHIFT from your golf vocabulary. Where players go off is they move excessively—left or right— during the backswing and downswing. Instead we want to ROTATE. I’m going to give you five ways to help you delete the word shift from your vocabulary. Let’s g...

  • Now you SEE IT Now You DON'T (the release)

    If you want more pars, let’s get you to twist the club a.k.a. the release. A lot of players don’t do this. In fact, they weren’t even aware they had to. This is a critical part of the golf swing. If you do not do it, you will chunk it, top it and experience a two-way miss. I share an easy way to ...

  • Chase of the Trail Shoulder

    If you want more pars, let’s get you some serious distance. We are going to focus on the trail shoulder and we’re going to chase it down the fairway. We’ll look at a top touring pro that does it really well and will crystallize what you need to implement in your swing today. Where players go off ...
