Golf Golfers Just Bad Golf Mechanics

Half Cocked

I am not a PGA touring professional, I am not a PGA instructor and I am not the guy that shares swing-thought nuggets with friends and business associates during a round.  Heck, I can barely get off the tee box myself!  I am known as “Bad Golf Guy” and there are numerous self-deprecating posts to substantiate the moniker. I have struggled with inconsistency for as long as I can remember, firing a round in the low eighties one day and scorching the same tract with a mid to high-nineties round ... continue reading...

On The Inside

On March 14th, I had the good fortune to caddie for PGA Professional David Denlinger, from Lancaster, PA (who will soon be competing in his third season on the PGA Tour LatinoAmerica) at a Valspar Golf Championship Qualifier at Southern Hills Plantation Club in Brooksville, FL.  Southern Hills Plantation is a Pete Dye design, which played 7,557 yards with a Course Rating of 76.7 and a Slope Rating of 145. The Valspar Golf Championship’s final round is today (March 24th) at Innisbrook’s ... continue reading...

Behind the Counter

My role is “Behind the Counter” in the Pro Shop, a few days a week, one of the many faces of the organization, welcoming our patrons, catering to their needs (directions to the rest rooms, the 19th hole, range balls, the driving ... continue reading...

Hey, Who Is This Guy?

A few days ago, I headed out to the course for a late afternoon nine-hole walk.  I have been spending more time on the range lately, attempting to sort out some concerns and wanted to check on the fruits of my labor. Suffice it to say, holes one through six did not go according to plan, losing three balls and hitting two balls that ricocheted off of trees, returning to their original locations.  I will spare you the details, but trust me, it was horrific!  On the seventh tee box (a 498 yard, ... continue reading...

2019 brings many new changes to the “Rules of Golf” as detailed in the USGA’s link, Golf’s New Rules: Major Changes. The link reviews and explains (with video’s) thirty-six recent modifications. Paul (USGA Rules Official) shares his thoughts and interprets a number of our “new” Rules of Golf. You are now allowed to leave the flagstick in the hole while putting.
