Course Review – Tierra Verde Golf Club
By Will Jordan Arlington’s Tierra Verde Golf Club has been the hallmark of what public golf should be in DFW since its opening in 1998. The 18-hole, par-72 Gary Stephenson design tips out at 6,975 yards and features five sets of tee boxes, making it an enjoyable experience for players of all skill levels. The […]
Instruction – Proper Head Position
By Kirsten Pike The Key to Balance, Contact, and Consistency One of the most common phrases amateurs use is “keep your head down.” And while it’s well-intentioned, it’s also one of the most misunderstood and harmful cues in the game. If you’ve ever hit a poor shot and someone told you to “keep your head down,” […]
Instruction – Swing Sequence
By Jack Daneshmand One of the most important concepts in golf instruction is understanding sequence. A powerful and repeatable swing is not simply about moving fast — it is about moving in the correct order. When the golf swing is sequenced properly, each segment of the body and club builds on the movement before it, […]
Instruction – Controlling Your Clubface
One of the most common mistakes I see in golfers of all skill levels happens before the club even reaches waist high. Players focus heavily on positions at the top of the swing or impact, but the reality is this: if the takeaway is incorrect, the rest of the swing becomes a series of compensations, […]
Fitness – Stability and Rotation
Most golfers chase rotation, more turn, more speed, more “X-factor.” But rotation only works if it’s built on a stable platform. If your lead leg can’t control the pelvis, or your foot/ankle can’t manage pressure shifts, your swing finds motion somewhere else — usually the lower back, the arms, or through a loss of posture. […]
Course Review – Pinnacle Golf Club
Those in DFW proper have likely heard of Mabank, which sits about 90 minutes south of the Metroplex. But what many aren’t aware of is the stupendous golf course sitting along the shores of Cedar Creek Reservoir. The Pinnacle Golf Club, located in a gated community, offers a great option for those with property in […]
Instruction – Increasing Club Head Speed
Every golfer wants more distance. The secret? It’s not swinging harder; it’s moving faster, more efficiently. Clubhead speed is one of the biggest predictors of distance. Even a 3–5 mph increase can add 10–15 yards off the tee. But increasing speed the right way requires strategy, structure, and smart training. Let me break it down […]
Course Review – Texas Star Golf Course
Euless’ Texas Star Golf Course has been the best course the mid-cities has to offer since it opened back in 1997. The 18-hole Keith Foster design has evolved over the years along with the areas surrounding the course. In 2025, Texas Star underwent a total greens overhaul, updating putting surfaces and adding to the tremendous […]
Instruction – 2026, The Year of the Dialed Wedge
I get this question all the time: “How can I have better control of my distances with my wedges?” Far too often, I see students lose unnecessary strokes around the greens from not being able to control their distances with their wedges and their ball either ending up short, where they have to chip again, […]
