I’ve talked to a lot of people who lament the fact that they can’t play a lot of golf. It’s tough to improve your game when you only play a couple times per year.

How to Juggle a Golf Ball with Your Club

Juggling a golf ball on the face of your club became significantly more popular when Nike released a commercial of Tiger Woods doing it in the late 90s.

How to Break 100, 90, 80...

Every golfer has their number. It's the one that they just can't seem to shoot lower under. It feels like an invisible barrier that keeps holding you back.

Put Backspin on the Ball

The ability to put backspin on a golf ball is an incredibly valuable one. It allows a player to safely fly their ball all the way to the green without risking a bad bounce on the ground.

Playing Golf at Altitude

Playing golf at a higher or lower altitude than you're used to can dramatically influence how you play the game.

Correct Golf Ball Position

The position, or placement, of a golf ball in a player's stance is incredibly important to shot success. The problem is, it's also sort of vague. As a result, most amateur golfers lack consistency in their ball placement, leading to inconsistent ball striking.

Dial in Your Pitch Shots

Golfers end up playing the shot completely by feel and relying on their depth perception and hand-eye coordination to make the ball go the right distance. Unfortunately, this is an incredibly unreliable method for hitting pitch shots.

Hit a Greenside Sand Shot

For a lot of amateur golfers, the greenside sand, or bunker, shot can be extremely difficult. Most of the time, you’ll only hit a couple of these shots in a round of golf, so most people don’t spend a ton of time practicing these shots.

Straighten Out Your Slice

A slice is, by far, the most common and frustrating mistake in the game of golf. Watching a ball slice away from the intended target is a helpless feeling, but there is hope.

Reading a Green

It might be the shortest shot in the game of golf, but the putt can also be one of the most difficult…One of the reasons is that most players struggle with putting is that they don't know how to read a green properly.

Make More Putts

As the saying goes, "drive for show, putt for dough." The game of golf requires that you get the ball in the hole at some point. If you don't, it probably won't be that enjoyable to you.
