Playing around a golf course is not merely a question of getting around, like traveling over a race course or walking around the block. It’s rather a question of taking nine or eighteen separate and distinct little journeys, each of which presents its own distinct pictures and its own distinct problems as part of the grand tour.

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could change your setup for your driver and for your irons to hit more fairways and Greens In Regulation? That’s every golfers dream and I believe that Hank Haney has given us a few great setup ideas for more consistent hits with better direction controlled.
Hank Haney, Martin Chuck and Danny Maude have recently been bombarding blog followers with opportunities to purchase swing tips which will solve your inconsistent swing problems. They are promising to fix your swing using 1 to 10 balls at a practice range. I have not purchased their programs but wanted to provide the key tips that they shared on their promotional videos.
Basic Setup
I’m NOT going to detail the basic setup that you can find on any YouTube training video as the proper grip and stance should give you the proper distance from your ball for consistent hits. Whatever you do in your swing, your distance from you shoulders to your ball must be the same at impact as it was during your setup. Don’t pull your leading shoulder away from the ball before impact. Increasing the distance of your leading shoulder away from the ball will cause toe hits (which look like a major slice). Test for this problem by spraying foot powder on the face of your clubs as your impact should be on the center of the face.
Driver Grip Tip Setup
After you line up your shot and take your stance on a line parallel to your target line, rotate your club across your body and parallel with the ground, with the face of your driver pointing perpendicular to the ground. Adjust your fingers by holding the grip of your club in your fingers (not your palms), [You may want to rotate the face of your club 2 degrees forward to add draw to your shot). Without changing your grip; bend forward and rotate your club back down to your ball with your shaft pointing at your belt buckle.
Your swing will feel strange with this finger grip, but your result will be straight. You may want to use a swing thought of shallowing your driver at the start of your downswing to launch your club head from the inside and up my target line.
Greg Norman wrote the LIV Golf circuit "by any fair, objective and impartial review" should be awarded Official World Golf Ranking points for its events in the very near future.
The PGA Tour's top players aren't ready to reveal what was discussed during a meeting with Tiger Woods, but many insist they're on the same page in terms of what the tour needs to do in its ongoing battle with LIV Golf.
MyGolfSpy Ball Lab is where we quantify the quality and consistency of the golf balls on the market to help you find the best ball for your money. Today, we’re taking a look at the 2022 Titleist Tour Speed To learn more about our test process, how we define “bad” balls, check out our About MyGolfSpy Ball Lab page.
The Tour Speed is unique among Titleist urethane-covered golf balls. While all things Pro V1 and AVX feature cast urethane covers, the Tour Speed is Titleist’s only injection-molded (TPU) urethane ball. It’s also notable that the Tour Speed is made alongside the Velocity and TruFeel at Ball Plant 2, not at Ball Plant 3 where the premium stuff is made.
The original Tour Speed caused a stir among regular readers of Ball Lab. While the performance is intriguing (we found the Tour Speed to be surprisingly long off the tee), its Ball Lab score, while still within the average range, is the lowest of any Titleist ball tested to date.
Have two years of additional experience and a reformulation of the ball yielded a better product?

In the lawsuit, Patrick Reed claims Brandel Chamblee and Golf Channel conspired with the PGA Tour and commissioner Jay Monahan to defame him "since he was 23 years old" -- nine years ago.
Tiger Woods arrived in Wilmington, Delaware, the site of this week's BMW Championship, on Tuesday to meet with a select number of PGA Tour players amid the ongoing battle with LIV Golf for the best players in the world.
My role as a golf coach is often to help my students neutralize the manner in which they deliver the club to the golf ball. I might help them with less slice, longer shots or simply a higher or lower ball flight. Today’s lesson will give a simple assist to any golfer looking to improve the trajectory of their shots. Whether you’re looking to hit the ball higher or lower the following video will help. Watch….
For a lower ball flight:
Hold the club in your lead hand and elevate the lead wrist
Place the trail hand on the club so that it is less ‘on top’ and more ‘alongside’ the grip
Have a sense throughout the swing that the club face is stronger and more downward
With two weeks left in the regular season, we take a look at the top candidates for PGA Tour awards.
There is a lot of cool gear in the golf equipment world that doesn’t always fit neatly into Most Wanted Tests or Buyer’s Guides. You still want to know how it performs. In our We Tried It series, we put gear to the test and let you know if it works as advertised.
Lamkin UTx Golf Grip – A one of a kind, full-cord grip with a tacky feel.
Phillip Bishop. Most of the time, I have a grip on Most Wanted Testing. However, today, I have a dance with Lamkin’s Tri-Layer Technology.
Since 1925, Lamkin has been a leader in golf grip manufacturing. Elver Lamkin began the process in 1925 from his own garage. From there, Lamkin grew. Eventually, they touted a 60 year relationship with one of the greats, Arnold Palmer. 90 years have come and gone, and Lamkin has become “one of the most trusted brands in golf”.
Presently, Lamkin has a budding relationship with a current phenom, Tony Finau. With it, the opportunity to showcase one of its top selling grips – Lamkin UTx. Tony currently utilizes this grip, especially during his recent back-to-back victories. Now, what makes this grip different from every other grip?
A player who was invited to attend Tuesday's meeting told ESPN that it will include many of the top 20 players in the world and a handful of other influential PGA Tour members who haven't defected to LIV Golf.
It must be remembered that the great majority of golfers are aiming to reduce their previous best performance by five strokes if possible, first, last and all the time, and if any one of them arrives at the home teeing ground with this possibility in reach, he is not caring two hoots whether he is driving off from nearby an ancient oak of majestic size and form or a dead sassafras. If his round ends happily it is one beautiful course. Such is human nature. A.W. TILLINGHAST
Cameron Smith, the No. 2-ranked player in the world, has pulled out of this week's BMW Championship because of a lingering hip injury, according to his agent
Zalatoris' dramatic win, a bad break for Cam Smith, Patrick Reed's bold LIV golf claim, the 25 new PGA Tour members and more from the FedEx Cup playoffs.
Some of the world’s best golfers came out to play last week at the FedEx St. Jude Championship and their shoe game was just as good as their scoring. Like a crescendo into the grand finale, some players are upping their golf shoe game as the season heads to the ultimate finish. More eyeballs, more media. If you’re one of the top 125, this is your chance to show out.
The theme for this week? Fun colors. It’s no coincidence that an event supporting St. Jude hospitals has given us some of the most whimsical colorways of the year!
After his Olympic victory, Xander Schauffele threw around the idea of using his gold medal as a ball marker to razz his opponents. Perhaps for similar reasons, Schauffele has been wearing custom adidas TOUR360 22 made to commemorate his Olympic gold in Japan.
You’ve got to have some extreme confidence to pull off golf shoes this bold. But the shoe itself isn’t even the best part. Schauffele gifted a pair to Riley, a five-year-old patient at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
The only way to get your hands on a pair of the special-edition adidas TOUR360 22 is through a global giveaway. Those looking for a chance to win can enter through the adidas app. The giveaway will run Aug. 10-31.
Whether it is a full shot, a flighted three-quarter approach, a delicate pitch, a tricky bunker shot or the simplest of chips, wedges offer a plethora of reasons to be in your bag.
Unfortunately, with every shot, your golf wedge’s groove life diminishes incrementally. Titleist recommends replacing your wedges after 75 rounds. However, cost is always a concern. Most golfers, especially recreational ones, aren’t buying new wedges after 75 rounds.
So how can you keep your grooves fresh?
Groove sharpening tools.
Do they really make a difference? Let’s take a look.
