One of the saddest days during my career was when the last Greater Milwaukee Open was played in 2009. After 42 years, Bo Van Pelt tapped in for victory and ended what was a very popular event among the players and caddies. I have been living in Milwaukee for the last 20 years, and it was the only time I’ve …
Golf instruction has many different styles of teaching. All have very good principles that can make a student better. Nowhere in any style of instruction will you find the “myths in golf” that I’m going to discuss in this article. To me, these myths are completely over blown and unnecessary swing thoughts.

This corner space in the heart of Lewisville can hold quite a crowd at roughly 2200 sq. ft., and is divided between the main dining room and two …
Over the last few months on the PGA Tour, there has been a unique phenomenon that has occurred. Three high profile golfers – Phil Mickelson, Rory McIlroy, and Jason Day – have all switched caddies, moving (a bit unexpectedly) from long-time bagmen. While in the inner circle of pros and caddies this is nothing new, when any pro/caddy relationship over …
A large portion of the articles I write come from actual lessons with my students. A topic that repeats itself each day, on the lesson tee, is the difficulty to stay behind the ball and hit from the inside.
