Presented by Golfers Report on August 20, 2017

Presented by Golfers Report on May 7, 2017
by Mike Dero I’ve always struggled with getting correctly aligned so that my golf balls travels in my intended direction – I just assumed I was directionally impaired.

Same Swing – Different Wedges To Get On The Green
Presented by Golfers Report on December 17, 2016

How Hard Is A Double Breaking Putt?
Presented by Golfers Report on October 20, 2016
by Mike Dero There are many aspects to the game of golf that are really difficult in which to become proficient. But for most of us good enough is, well, good enough. If your shots can be in the general direction of the flag, that’s pretty good. Until, of course, it comes to putting. To

by Mike Dero Have you ever hit a shank? Well if you haven’t, don’t read this post because it may jinx you. However, if you have had the misfortune of hitting a shank, quickly followed by another, your first words may go something like this, “what the @#$% am I doing?” And that is the
Plan Your Next Downhill Putt
Presented by Golfers Report on August 22, 2016
by Mike Dero No one is afraid of an uphill putt. But everyone I know dreads a downhill five or seven footer; the steeper the slope the greater the dread. And rightly so, because that downhill seven footer can easily become a 10 footer coming back . That happens because most of us don’t really

To achieve a natural backswing Mike initiates the backswing by turning the chest, while keeping the arms connected, so that your
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
Should You Learn To Compress The Golf Ball?
Presented by Golfers Report on January 23, 2016
by Mike Dero Mike Dero tells us you can have fun, and enjoy your golf game, even if you never learn how to compress the golf ball at impact. But if you do, the compression, and subsequent expansion, of the golf ball will cause it to fly higher and go longer. All the PGA and
