Bunkers on modern golf courses are so well-maintained that for those skilled in bunker play, getting up and down is almost automatic. However, amateurs often face a different reality with poorly maintained bunkers and subpar raking. Mastering 5m and 10m bunker shots is crucial for scoring well.

Always go after it. I can’t count the number of times I’ve taken one club less and completely mishit it when I was in between clubs. I’ve learned my lesson: always try to make a full shot. The hardest shots in golf are the ones where you need to change your tempo and swing speed. […]

Listening to the ball land on the green is one of the best insights that has helped me with my chipping, and it’s something I still use today.

I love how Scottie Scheffler is regularly commented on for his footwork. We all draw power from the ground in the backswing through our legs. The dynamic between power and timing defines how we transfer energy from the golfer to the golf ball. I don’t think there is perfect footwork, but it’s interesting to note […]

One of the hardest things for me to learn was how to aim. I used to say if someone could line me up, I’d be such a good player. Two important points come from this: Trusting Your Line-Up: Trust in your line-up always helps free up your swing. Finding an Effective Line-Up Method: Line-up is […]
