Wayward Shots — Caddies and Social Media
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, […]
Instruction — An Inside Job
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. This mistake basically targets any golfer whose tendency is to slice the ball. When the upper […]
The Carolinas — Carolina’s Finest

Creek Course at Indian Creek — Carrollton’s Comeback Story
There are few images that, once seen, are hard to evade your memory. When I played Indian Creek this past month, the images from our July 2015 issue kept popping into my head.

Instruction — Three Shots to Get Up and Down
Low, Medium and High describes the shots necessary to be successful with your short game. Each shot plays an important role lowering your scores.

Scene & Be Seen — Smoke With Sophistication
Those afternoons and evenings where you’re gathered around a fire pit on a large outdoor patio with your friends are some of my favorite. You might have a glass of local craft beer or rosè in your hand, and you’re watching the waters of the local lake glisten across the street. Maybe you’re munching on […]
