The Unplayable Lie – A Rule
And Also A StrategyPresented by Golfers Report on July 10, 2016
You may have read our earlier post “The Unplayable Rule Is Your Friend” which pretty much explains how the unplayable rule works, as well as some other rules you should remember. But I have to admit this video by USGA Senior Amateur committee member Jerry Duffy, is the best example of just how valuable, and

Try Yoga and Pilates – SeriouslyPresented by Golfers Report on July 3, 2016
The game of golf stresses many different parts of your body. And, if you are not preparing your body to deal with these stresses, you leave yourself susceptible to pain, and injury, from overuse caused by the repetitive motions of golf. As we age our muscles tend to lose flexibility, strength, and resilience. To maintain,
Golf’s Scariest Shot?
A Buried Lie In The BunkerPresented by Golfers Report on June 18, 2016
by Kellie Stenzel Good news is you hit a beautiful, high, approach shot; bad news is, it lands in the bunker. And, to make matters worse, when you get to the bunker you find you have a buried lie, probably the ugliest lie we amateurs can have. Now, if you really have no idea what
The Game of Golf
A Love-Hate RelationshipPresented by Golfers Report on June 12, 2016
by Autumn Phillips Do you remember the first time you decided to play golf? This question is not for those who started playing golf at age 3, and who hence have a country club swing. But for those of us who took up the game later in life, or are just self taught. For me
Golf And Our Disabled Veterans
Presented by Golfers Report on June 5, 2016
by Matt Calkins We all know that golf is the most stressful relaxation you can have, but it is also very therapeutic, because when you are on the golf course the only thing that matters is trying to play better than you did the day before. So, it stands to reason that the therapeutic side

How Hard Is Number 12 At Augusta?
Presented by Golfers Report on May 22, 2016
by Rick Reilly This years Players Championship showed us, once again, how intimidating hole number 17 can be. But how does it compare to Number 12 at Augusta? Number 12 has a long and storied history, ever since Augusta opened in January 1933. In April 1990 Rick Reilly, Sports Illustrated, wrote a wonderful article on
The Pivot: An Important Key To Good Golf
Presented by Golfers Report on May 15, 2016
by Mike Dero Mike’s two previous videos focused on The Backswing and The Downswing. In this, the third in the series, you could argue that the pivot is just part of the downswing, but Mike feels that it is so important that it merits its own video. So what is a pivot anyway? The pivot
Perfecting Your Downswing
Presented by Golfers Report on May 1, 2016
by Mike Dero This is the second part of a two part series on the golf swing. In the first part “Perfecting Your Backswing,” Mike showed us how to get into a good position in our backswing, in preparation for the downswing. Mike really has a knack for simplifying the complexities of all those actions
Who Is Danny Willett Anyway?
Presented by Golfers Report on April 17, 2016
by Helen Pidd Danny Willett is not exactly a household name, and with good reason. In the years 2013 through 2015 Danny Willett only earned $624,000. But in just one tournament, the Masters, he earned almost three times as much, $1,800,000. That he beat out Jordan Spieth was a surprise, but that he won
Perfecting Your Backswing
Presented by Golfers Report on April 2, 2016
View Video by Mike Dero Mike Dero likes to say that while it’s true that you don’t hit a ball going backwards, a stress free, and natural, backswing is essential to a smooth downswing. To achieve a natural backswing Mike initiates the backswing by turning the chest, while keeping the arms connected, so that your
How To Best Use
Your Swing ThoughtsPresented by Golfers Report on March 20, 2016
by Pete Styles They say that the best swing thoughts are no swing thoughts at all. Of course that’s easy to say for the pros who practice day in and day out. But I would venture to say that the every day golfer, who is always working on one swing fault or another, uses the
Do I Get Relief From An Alligator?
Presented by Golfers Report on March 13, 2016
If you ever find yourself in a dangerous situation, and wonder what your options are, it’s good to know that the rules of golf are your friend. Here in southwest Florida it is not unusual to come face to face with the question, “Do I get relief from an alligator?” Just as common as alligators,
Should You Have A Strong Grip?
Presented by Golfers Report on March 6, 2016
by Chris Ryan We hardly give any thought to the golf grip. That is until someone, giving us free advice, tells us that perhaps we should change our grip. Invariably they are telling us to change to a strong grip, because that is what the pro’s have, and they hit the ball a ton. We
Hitting Tree Trouble Shots Left Handed
Presented by Golfers Report on February 28, 2016
by Dave Marsh We have all been in this situation where we find ourselves up against a tree, and think we essentially have no shot. We can of course take an unplayable, instead of wrapping the club around the tree, but there are a couple of other alternatives. One option is to turn the club
Do You Suffer From Blocked Golf Shots?
Presented by Golfers Report on February 21, 2016
Do you block your golf shots? Well if you do, the good news is that there are probably only three reasons for blocked golf shots. This is especially true with the driver, which immediately gets you off to a bad start. Gary Alliss, for Golf Monthly, says there are three culprits: Excessive lateral shift: This
Putt With Confidence
Presented by Golfers Report on February 7, 2016
by Mike Dero So you travel 510 yards, and you are on the green in three. Not bad, and you only have 10 feet left for your par. And Whamo, you three putt the green. How ironic is that? You average 170 yards per stroke to get to the green, and then you average 3.3
