Instruction – 3 Myths to Totally Ignore
Golf instruction has many different styles of teaching. All have very good principles that can make a student better.

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, […]

Creek Course at Indian Creek — Carrollton’s Comeback Story

Wayward Shots — Different Strokes
Over the last 26 years, I’ve caddied for seven players full time. About 5 years ago, my roommate came up with the idea to see how many players we’ve actually worked for, which included one-week jobs or more. Once I did the math, I was shocked to learn it was in the 100-200 range. That’s […]
