How To Swing Down The Line
Presented by Golfers Report on May 3, 2020
So you’ve picked out your target, you carefully align yourself to the target – now wouldn’t it be nice if when you swing, the ball were to actually go in the direction of the target. And if it doesn’t, I guess it could be that you are not correctly aligned, but it could also be

Can You Increase Your Club Head Speed?
Presented by Golfers Report on February 25, 2020
It goes without saying that to gain greater distance you have to increase your club head speed. Yet we know this is easier said than done, because when you try to swing faster you lose control and the ball goes just about anywhere. So, if you are wedded to your current swing, you may not
Chipping Revisited
Presented by Golfers Report on January 19, 2020

How Do LPGA Ladies Hit The Ball So Far? – Gravity Golf
Presented by Golfers Report on December 15, 2019
Every time I watch an LPGA event, I marvel at how far these ladies can hit the ball. It’s obviously not because they are muscular, so I just assumed that with all that practice they became super humanly synchronized. Well that may be true, but now I know there is more to it than that.
Not All Buried Lies Are The Same
Presented by Golfers Report on October 11, 2019
There are buried lies in the sand, and then there are really buried lies. Which means that the shot you use to escape a buried lie depends on just how buried you are. While most of us think that the only way to escape a buried lie is to slam your club in the sand
Should I learn To Hit A Flop Shot?
Presented by Golfers Report on August 26, 2019
I think the flop shot, lob wedge, is one of the hardest shots in golf. When it works, it is truly a sight to behold, and when it doesn’t – watch out! I have maybe three lob wedges in my garage, and every time I take one out to play I always regret that decision.

The Correct Way To Make A Divot
Presented by Golfers Report on May 16, 2019
A divot tells you a lot about your swing; you can tell if your were aligned correctly; you can definitely feel if you hit way behind the ball; but it doesn’t tell you if you hit the ball first, and then made the divot. The key to hitting long crisp irons, is to hit the
What’s Better: Fade Or Draw
Presented by Golfers Report on April 30, 2019
Some of us have a natural fade and some a natural draw. The draw has such a pretty trajectory, makes you look like you know what you are doing and, it is said, gives you more yardage. While a fade just looks wrong, at least to the untrained eye of the everyday golfer. In this
The Pro Finish
Presented by Golfers Report on March 24, 2019
So what is The Pro Finish? We see it every time we watch a golf pro swing a driver. The arms are fully extended toward the target, right hand has rolled over the left, the head looks like it lies flat over a bent torso and we just stare in awe. Can my swing ever
Want To Hit It Straight And Long: Fix Your Grip
Presented by Golfers Report on March 1, 2019
The first thing you learn when you start playing golf, is how to grip the club. And then you grip it however it feels most comfortable, which may or may not be right. We’ve all heard the terms a strong grip, weak grip and a neutral grip. But what difference does it really make how
A Bunker Is Not A Penalty Area
Presented by Golfers Report on February 10, 2019
There seems to be some confusion between what you are allowed to do in a Penalty Area (previously known as a water hazard, plus any area so deemed by course officials), versus what you can do in a Bunker. The rule that allows you to touch the sand in a Bunker, is not the same
Decision Time: Leave The Flag In, Or Take It Out
Presented by Golfers Report on January 25, 2019
There are lots of new rules for 2019, but I think the one that will cause the most confusion has to do with putting. Suddenly you are faced with a new decision – leave the flag in or take it out. In the past it was simple, because you always had to take the flag
Waiting – The Path To More Power
Presented by Golfers Report on November 23, 2018

Learn To Swing On Plane – You’ll Love The Difference
Presented by Golfers Report on August 11, 2018
I think most of us are familiar with the basic concept that we should be swinging on plane. And you’ve probably seen contraptions, like hoops, that will help you sense what it feels like to be on plane. However, since the golf swing happens so quickly, even if you video your golf swing, it is
