My swing is generally coming together, i.e., getting rid of the over the top stuff. I continually take video of my swing and find it is a great help. However, I am struggling with consistently transferring my weight. When I can transfer my weight back to my left side (I'm a righty) with proper...

I’m new to this forum so this is my first post. I just finished reading a golf instruction book that advocates what the author calls a “Rotary Weight Shift”. The author claims this concept is nothing new, but I’ve never heard it before and it is definitely not Stack & Tilt. For now I want to...

Hi guy's! I've been playing golf for a couple of years now, but now i would like to become a golfer ;)really like to improve my game so i decided to try lessons, i just need some feedback on who you think is the best teacher, where is the best school, best price for the value. What i need to...

Hey all - wondering if anyone has ever had the chip yips? I have been struggling for a couple of years now and it is really frustrating me. I have starting to chip from the right side (I'm a lefty) and that is working but it limits my short game as I only carry a single right handed club with me...

Does anyone have any personal experience in dealing with Driver Yips? I've barely played the last few years as a result of the driver yips. I've tried to play a little more this year but despite what happens at the range, once I tee it up on a course, I inevitably hit it off the planet. I'm...

Someone told me that practising off of those rubber tees at driving ranges are no good for you. It's better to go over to the area that has grass. Can anybody tell me why? Is it better not to practise off those rubber tees at all?

Hello, I'm looking for 25 guys who are willing to read a new golf instruction guide I've just completed and give me some feedback on it. It's a downloadable eBook. All you need to do is email me and I'll send you a link with a Key to download to your computer. Thanks

Good day all, I am thinking about giving this a try but I would like to hear from people who are using this swing before I commit to a swing overhaul. I am in my second year of golf so I figured that if I am going to change my swing that I might as well do it now before I get too many bad habits....

i started golf a few years ago, and i have been playing on and off. i am a student, and am wondering if anyone has suggestions how to fine tune my swing. i hit good shots like 75-80% of the time, but then there's that odd shot.... are there any courses or lessons specifically on that?

Has anyone here ever completely rebuilt their swing? I just did a clinic this morning on the hopes of maybe eeking a a bit more reliability (sometimes cut it) and a few more yards out of my driver (hit it normally around 260ish). So I'm thinking, ok, here's where the instructor will tweek a...

been playing golf for four years. simple as it my seem i've always thought that golf was simply about getting a ball into a hole. why do people worry about the swing when its obviously not what the game's about? I had just recently posted on distance but i can score under 90 though i've only...

:cry What is the best technique in wet sand? I was having a pretty good round today untill I skulled one across the green? :cry :cry

Most instruction books recommend a straight left arm on the back swing. Yet if you reverse the swing(i.e almost a full circle back to parallel) the right elbow naturally bends considerably on the follow through. Not everyone has the same flexibility and/or the same build. We are not robots and do...

Just curious. How would handle the following shot. Ball is buried real close to a huge lip.

How does one increase swing speed without having to go for a lighter shaft and without coming out of his shoes?

Why do you prefer the Vardon grip over others? To me it feels very unnatural.

Seen at the Rick Boisvert's free seminar. Great gizmo for correcting an over the top move. It'll cure you real quick:lmfao

For years I have tried to set up square to the ball.:hissyfit: And before you asked I checked more than once if my feet were set up properly. :eek:And for years I have read that a closed stance promotes a draw and that a open stance promotes a fade and a square stance promotes a straight ball....

Having this argument with some friends. I have always believed that in a strong grip the V's of both hands point to the right shoulder(for a right handed golfer) However take a look at the pics below.I think the second set of pics is more correct. Comments?...

I was reading another post about club fitting and am intrigued. I have been thinking about this for a while now. I was wondering where or who is the best to see for a club fitting. Multiple sessions if needed is okay.

I'm trying to reach Marc Levac . I heard that he is not anymore at Mer Bleue. Where can I find him? Thanks.

Im having a lesson with Greg Foley today. What kind of personnality should I expect? I don't know him at all but I know he's been recommended on that site. Thanks.

Im calling for a long shot here. Anybody would have a swingyde? PM me if you have one for sale. Can't find any at Golftown. Thanks.

:smash Just last week I had a lesson with Danielle Nadon Golf School and had the Interactive Video and Analysis of my golf swing. I can't begin to tell you how useful this was. That was the best $75.00 I have spent in a long time. Not only do I know what I'm doing wrong in my swing, but I'm...

Welcome Colin I would like to know the proper stance and foot placement when hitting a ball that is lying on the side of a hill. Scenerio is this... My feet are on level ground, but the ball is lying on the side of a hill. So I'm reaching out in front of me to swing at the ball. Also, should I...

:mad: I always seem to hit the ball fat whenever it's sitting in soggy grass. Is there a technique for hitting the ball cleanly out of this %$# stuff? I feel as though it might be like hitting out of a fairway bunker. Should I be going up a club as well? Thanks Colin, Chris

I have signed up for the winter OAC golf school. I would like to pool those who have been through the school to comment on their experiences. Did you find that you received your share of instruction during the hours you attended? What time of day would you say gave you the most bang for your...

I have a couple of questions concerning driver lofts and distance. How much of a yardage difference is there between a 9* loft vs 12* loft while driving off the Tee? I know that a higher loft helps the ball carry in distance, but does it cause a balloon effect.? I'm quite new at golf,...

I'm still having a hard time transfering my weight from back to front when i swing especially when driving... i always catch myself finishing my swing on my back leg:crying any tips or drills would be appreciated.

Hi guy's, I'm looking to take some lessons. Kepp in mind that i'm a beginner and am in need of swing basic/cure. any opinions/suggestions and experiences would be of great help! Thanks!

In the tee box ,where should one position the ball if you have a slight fade,presently I am teeing the ball near the left tee block (facing the fairway)trying to eliminate any left side trouble.Would it be more advantagous to tee up on right side and aim slightly on the left side?

Hey all, Anyone ever done the equipment check at Keven Haime's? I am just looking to get an overall assessment of my equipment and what not and this looked like it would be a good all round review. http://kevinhaime.com/shoponline/search.asp?cid=6&sid=18 Thoughts?

I saw this on the website and I'm thinking that the finish may be a bit too high. Any opinions? http://www.ottawagolf.com/falconridge/photo03.htm ;)

Hey All, I'm looking for a little help on my swing. I'm a second year golfer who gets out pretty much on weekends only. I having a problem with my irons, and sometimes woods. Usually in the fairway or rough I line up for my shot and seem to be sending the ball way to the right of the green. ...

Since most of the sand shots that I have played recently have been from mud, I have been taking a clean swing at the ball without taking any sand behind the ball. The results have been pretty good and I'm just wondering why I should not continue doing this once the mud turns back into sand. I...

I have been working on my fade/slice problem for a while now. The swing thoughts that have helped me are: 1- Start swinging from the ground up. (avoid over the top swing) 2- Stay behind the ball at impact. 3- Complete a full follow through. 4- Taking the club back less to the inside. 5-...
