The World’s Leading Authority on Putting – Marius Filmalter Hi folks, I’ve conducted a lot of research on the yips. One thing I’ve found is that golfers only yip when there’s a ball on the ground, and that removing the ball immediately produces a smoother stroke. Try this drill and prove it to yourself. Set […]
There are two points of contact when you hit any type of short-game shot. One is when your clubhead strikes the ball, and the other is when your clubhead strikes the ground. If there’s anything I’ve learned in my almost 40 years of coaching, it’s that you have to optimize both in order to hit […]
What most golfers know, but don’t really understand, is that a 300 yard drive straight down the middle is worth the exact same amount as a 6 inch putt. The difference is, if you miss the putt, you’re going to have to hit it again AFTER you put yourself in great position off the tee. […]

From Guest Writer: Stan Utley… The Setup: The grip should run up the lifelines of the palms, NOT down across the joints of the fingers like the full swing grip. A good putting grip will see the shaft running in line to the forearms – not under them as it would for a full shot. […]
