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, […]

Course Review – Meadowbrook Fort Worth
Meadowbrook Golf Course in Fort Worth has long been a Metroplex municipal staple. Originally opened in 1924 as the nine-hole Meadowbrook Country Club, this east side property was purchased by the city in 1938 and later renovated by Ralph Plummer in the early 1960s. Now, just after the course’s 100th-birthday celebration in 2024, Meadowbrook Golf […]
Instruction – Cross-Sport Motion
One of the most effective ways to develop athletic movement in golf is through cross-sport motion training – learning how the body moves dynamically in other throwing or striking sports. Two powerful examples come from football and frisbee. Throwing a football with your trail hand and a frisbee with your lead hand can both train […]
Instruction – Lower Scores Quick With These Putting Drills
If you want to lower scores quickly, putting is the fastest path. Most golfers leave strokes on the green not because of poor technique, but because they lack start-line control, distance consistency, and practice under pressure to perform on the course. The following drills train all of these skills and can be done in just […]
