One of the things I enjoy most about golf is checking out all the courses out there. It gives you a chance to experience unique course designs, scenery, practice facilities, restaurants, and more. However, as enjoyable as playing a new golf course is, it’s also hard. When you’ve never played a golf course before, you’re not familiar with all the little nuances. So, how do you play a golf course for the first time? One … Read more

I’m going to start this Lag Shot golf review with a confession – I’m interested in checking out any training aid, course, or book that will help me improve my golf game. Maybe you can relate? That’s why I didn’t hesitate at the opportunity to test the Lag Shot. It reminded me of the Orange Whip swing trainer, except that you can also hit golf balls with it. I’ve spent a few weeks using their … Read more
Have you golfed with sweaty hands? It’s not an enjoyable experience. I sweat profusely, especially in the summer, so I’m always concerned about keeping my hands from slipping off my golf club during my swing. One time I came close and tried to stop my swing mid-swing. It wasn’t pretty, and I ended up hitting a horrible shot. But it was better than sending my club through someone’s window! This affected my confidence on the … Read more
This post was updated March, 2024. You want to know how to practice putting at home? I don’t blame you. It’s not always easy to get out the driving range between work and family obligations. That’s even if the weather is nice. Depending on where you live and the season, it might be hard to get out for some putting practice with all the rain and snow on the ground. The good news is that … Read more
Stats show that the average golfer with a handicap of over 15 three putts a bit more than 14% of the time, or 3-4 times per round. This is nearly 6 times more than the average PGA tour pro. If this sounds like you, then you’re adding a lot of unnecessary strokes to your scorecard and handicap. That’s the bad news. The good new is that you can avoid 3-putts and shave these strokes off … Read more
I want to answer a question I came across on a forum. The question asked was, how do I practice golf without hitting golf balls? Plenty of people have answered this question already, but the responses suck. I’ve seen replies saying that it’s impossible to practice golf effectively without golf balls. But that’s not true at all. I know firsthand because at least half of my golf practice nowadays doesn’t involve hitting balls. I’m going … Read more
Setting achievable golf goals is key if you want to become a better golfer. Goals give you a target to aim for. When you have a target to aim for, you can work backward to figure out all the steps you need to take to hit it. This is a deliberate, systematic approach to improving your golf game. You’re more likely to see results from this approach compared to crossing your fingers and hoping your … Read more
Why would you want to play a golf gambling game? Golf is hard enough. Why add more pressure by betting on the golf course? Well, everyone is different. I don’t need to gamble on golf to make it interesting. I find the challenges on the golf course interesting enough. But I’m not opposed to a closest to the pin, skins, or Nassau bet, either. Maybe you’re different. Maybe you need skin in the game to … Read more
