My last few rounds I must of hit 8 iron shots fat!!! I just want to explode when I do it. The link below is a short video of me hitting balls at the range. Does anyone see anything in my swing that would open me up to hitting it fat. :confused ...

I have never seen the DVDs on S&T but I think I have developed my own version of it. Basicly keeping a little more weight on my front foot, dropping my front shoulder a little bit during the take away and a nice balanced follow through. On short irons, I love it. You come down on the ball...

Would you take lessons from an uncertified golf instructor? And no I'm not going into teaching. :P

Been using some Dr Sholl's spray lately at Gregg and Joes Winter Golf school, and was doing some searches and came across this pretty informative article about how to read the markings. Thought I'd share. It sure seems to be a pretty neat way to help understand whats going on at the range. ...

Made this post on GolfWrx but figured I'd up it here also to see what people thought. For those of you who hit a push draw: Do you in a sense 'give up control' of your start direction? By that I mean, align yourselves square to your target and swing on that line without worry about the...

been using a swingtip and the info i get from it states that i have an inside out swing with an open club face. I am left handed and my ball flight is somewhat strait or a bit to the right would not closing the face to square make the ball go way right not sure i can figure this out inside out with...

http://youtu.be/6pKLSVgxg3Q I have a wierd backswing, always have never fixed it. But, I correct all the issues when I come down at the ball and get a pure contact every time.

Has anyone done this before or know what this program is like. They want $600 for this and just want to know if it is worth the $600

hi guys first time poster here but an avid reader i m looking for some feed back from anybody who took some lessons with warren grant from total golf thinking of signing up with him any feedback is appreciated cheers

Hey, so I just wanted to ask people what they do for productive golf practicing. I believe in its importance and making sure you make every practice efficient and put to good use on improving. There is no since wasting your time and money going to the range just to hit golf balls. It needs to be...

http://ottawa.kijiji.ca/c-services-other-Golf-Lessons-while-we-play-a-round-of-golf-W0QQAdIdZ527401890 Hi Everyone. :) I see and hear about all these people spending so much money on golf lessons, most of these golf pro's try to change your swing too much and the next thing you...

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...

http://youtu.be/22Z4wVfh0m0 This guy is full of juicy nuggets :-)

the key to better golf is stated on cameron strachan's website golfgooroo.com. Just found this. i think it will help alot of those who struggle. Please dopnt take his work for granted. hes worked very hard on his ideas and will gladly help those in need. He makes golf simple. i share...

I'm really having a hard time hitting my 3 wood off the fairway, it always goes a mile high. I can barely hit it over 200 yards. I have a feeling I'm hitting down on it too much (usually take some turf), but when I think of hitting down with a wood I think de-lofting the club so why is it going so...

I release my wrist hinge on my downswing too early. I pull on the grip and wrist-hinge angle goes from 90 degrees at the top to almost 180 degrees flat when the club gets to about waist high. Any suggestions/drills that will help me keep the hinge at 90 degrees until my hands get down to my knees?...

I have been lacking on my approach shots last week, and I feel I lost all the hard work I have done over the summer. During the summer when I was golfing everyday, more then 1 round. My approach shots were perfect, always giving my self the chance for a birdie putt. Just recently I have been...

Hey guys, I am wondering if anyone has used the Medicus? Does it help? I am a lefty and I can hit the ball 250yds avg, however my swing is very awkward and not technical at all. I started playing golf 2.5yrs ago and have never had a lesson. With that being said, my swing is inconsistent...

problem can score mid to low 80's at home course play in events at other courses score in high 90's anyone please help dave

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...

What needs improving? Head still? More hip movement? Bend knees? http://swingreader.com/video/view/GnAHI67O/driver http://swingreader.com/video/view/Tsmz7cSN/driver

I went to visit Gregg Foley last week for a 30 minute driver lesson. He had me hitting consistent shots 30 seconds after I arrived with a few very minor tweaks. One of those tweaks was ensuring my hips were square to my target line at address. He helped me set up to it, and when I swung the ball...

I've been working on hitting a little push-draw as my stock shot and I think I'm running into issues with ball position. The person I had been taking instruction from keeps trying to get me to play the ball 2 inches inside my left heel for almost all clubs but I'm finding it impossible to set up...

Hi all, I have just decided to pick up the game of golf as of a couple of weeks ago. I went to golftown to get geared up with my lefty gear so am ready to get going. Hit a few balls on the driving range this week and needless to say have some room for improvement. Thinking a few lessons may not be...

I have always believed in a simple backswing. I'm one of those guys that likes to set the club really early. I like to knife it back up in a way that feels very "one plane" to me, regardless of whether it is or not. It sets up my whole swing, and when I'm playing well it's more or less my only...

Like the title says... Any suggestions?

So i have been serious issues with my driver lately and after reading the forums and suggestions i tried to book a lesson with another pro closer to home as i live in the east end. He was recommended on here by a few members and after 4 attempts via e/mail and basically being ignored i thought i...

I was on the practice tee the other day and i asked my student what he wanted to work on. He said he wanted to swing the club on a better plane. I asked him what meant but he couldn't give me a definitive answer. Swing plane is a term used by many teachers and golfers, and if you've been around the...

Ok guys--this should be good for a couple of days. :) Just finishing in Hilton Head SC. before heading home on Sunday Me--68 this year--no lessons ever--RM handicap 14 now--no divot--Driver 240 with run-out--3 wood 215 down to pitch 100 and sand wedge 75 yds--playing 10 yrs. After watching...

How many times have you heard "keep your head down" or "keep your eye on the ball" after a topped shot? After many years of teaching, I have yet to meet someone who lifted their head. The cause of the topped shot is actually the flipping motion of the hands through impact that cause the club to...

I'm aware that a proper draw (or push/draw) comes into impact with a face that is open to the target but closed compared to the path, and vice versa for a pull/cut. Now I'm normally scared of coming over the ball and hitting a big pull hook so I'm normally focused on hitting the inside quadrant of...

I just finished watching Big Break Greenbrier since golfchannel.com put them all online. Has anyone here tried saucing? I didn't see any threads after a quick search. Explanation: http://www.golfchannel.com/media/big-break-academy-james-lepp-saucer-pass-tip-121812/...

Been doing a lot of golf machine work in order to teach myself to kill the flip. What allows you to maintain the flying wedge in the right hand? If i slide and turn into an impact bag I have no issues keeping it there due to the hit of the bag but in making rehearsals through the impact zone...

I recently purchased a Medicus Vision Track, a golf stance alignment guide, from Rockbottomgolf for $35. I first practiced at home without using a ball just to get the swing on the correct plane. Took it to the range a week ago and was amazed how quickly I was able to fix my slice. Went through my...

I took lessons from Gregg Foley while he was at Kevin Haime. Great instructor and excellent practice facility (ie, that huge screen that they show you your swing on). Now that Gregg is at 19th Tee, I don't know who to pick. Gregg for the great instruction, or Kevin Haime school for the facility...

Stumbled upon this thread called 'The Ultimate Practice Routine' started by teaching instructor: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/93/golf/ultimate-practice-routine-992787/ Has anyone tried anything like this? I'm thinking that I don't practice my short game nearly enough, and this year I'll be...

Why don't golf instructors tell you everything that's wrong with your swing on the first lesson? Every time I see a teacher they will fix a thing here or there. Ie: alignment issue, grip issue, etc... But years later I learn stuff about the golf swing on my own and look at my swing on video and...

I think these guys deserve some exposure for what they stand behind... and that is giving quality instruction to us golfers out there struggling with the swing mechanics. These guys will help you understand the swing by breaking it down so that you know where your weakness is and what you need to...

I am spending lots of time on ottawagolf.com, golfwrx.com and brianmanzella.com; Any other resources you suggest?

I thought I'd post a video to see what you guys think I could improve upon. My arm lift was flat in this one so I've been working on getting it up. I'm also not a fan of my right foot movement. BC Mist, I would be interested in what you have to say as well. Anyway here it is: ...

I s'pose I should post up more poorly executed shots, but here is a recent drive at Arnprior. Notice anything worth mentioning? I seem to be struggling again with the bigstick. Rip me apart! :-):-) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EipeICoAO24

I typically play a fade as it's my natural shot shape, but over the past while I've decided that I would be much more comfortable playing a draw if possible. Sounds counter to most good players who fear the left side I guess but I've always had a pretty hard body rotation so the fade comes easy....

The handicap for each hole is for MATCH play. In a match play situation each hole is won or lost by total strokes compared to the other player. Check the scorecard to find where you'll get or give your strokes. Each hole has a handicap allocation number. The hole with the handicap number "1" is the...

For those who know Gregg and for those who don't.... Gregg is coming back Tuesday July 24th to help out with our swings. I started seeing him in the offseason and he really improved my ballstriking. Going to work on my Father and my wife's swing this year. Just thought I would put an FYI...
