UK golf courses.
Petition your local MP to find out if there are any stipulations under which the ‘exercise of golf’ can be actioned.
It’s worth a try.
1. Tee times at 20 mins.
2. No hole / flag touching.
3. Car park to first tee, 18th green to car park.
4. Clubhouse shut.

The dumbest question in golf: ‘how do we get more juniors into the game?’.
The smartest question in golf: ‘how do we get more parents to get their children into the game?’.
Parents have transport, money, incentive, community awareness and hopefully.....hopefully, the influence.
Golf committees in the UK and Ireland are usually the bane of everyone who works at the club.
The
@ThePGA
professional should be at the very top of the accountability / decision making process.
He/She after all is an expert golf professional and simply, they are not.

Friend Butch Harmon has been the most successful golf instructor since 2000. Why?
He is 'method less'.
If you have a system or a method, give it up - its a pathetic crutch that will always have limitations.
Instead - learn and use it all.
The notion that you can’t play Tennis or Golf as a physical / mental health benefit is frankly ridiculous.
With equal amounts of strategy & responsibility, certain private clubs should still operate with little or no risk.
If you can walk in the park ~ you can play golf.

Most missed the Matt Kuchar point/s:
1. You get paid according to the value you bring...how much value did this local caddy actually bring?
2. Who knows the answer to 1. other than Matt Kuchar.
3. His apology/statement is obviously NOT his initiative.
The End.

@RobRockAcademy
fantastic golf swing and attach a ‘methodology’ to it rather than a philosophy. This is a fundamentally, functional and bio mechanically sound golf swing that works. It doesn’t need a label which implies it’s owned by any cult.

Just an incredible focus on the grass roots of British golf.

There is truly nothing new in the swinging of a golf club…you just have to look for the right clues.
Jack Nicklaus ‘I slam my left heel into the ground as hard as I can and post’
Well folks…we can measure it now hence why it’s ’en vogue’ to teach it.
But it was always
There is so much good in this picture of Hogan. But despite that, Hogan had of of the most un-copyable golf swings in history due to his physiology.
You might be able to grab elements, but never it’s entirety.

Every now and then an anomaly comes along like an Eamon Darcy, Furyk or Matt Wolff ~ but generally good backswings do matter.
What constitutes a good backswing though?
Here’s one of my students with a good backswing.

My father committed suicide this day 12 years ago.
Sometimes there’s no pre determined behavior before ‘the event’.
I’ve learned 3 things:
1.Don’t feel self conscious in asking people if they’re ‘ok’.
2. Express feelings to the living.
3.Leave a note.
Of course I miss Dad.

But, when power is disproportionate to strategy then there’s no golf course and no contest; strategy loses.

I’m a humble golf teacher but here’s some heart felt advise:
Give your brains a rest from the media, especially in the UK.
Life is tough enough as it is without getting drawn into drama by the very people paid to create it.
Limit your stimulus and tell me you’re not happier.
@GolfDigest
@exec_tours
This is absolute nonsense.
For a kick off, it’s the opposite of Rory’s wrist / face / plane relationship…
The most important trait….wrong..
Tiger ~ better body planes no question but still sync/pos issues in arms and club. Trackman tells us swing speeds in club go up from practice rounds to tourney rounds ~ his range swing is NOT his course swing at all.
Hogan’s set up was incredibly balanced, you could slice in him perfectly in half with a sword. Why is this equilibrium important? Because the better your body sits on the fence, the more neutral your path will be. Tilt right or left, path reciprocates.
Congratulations to

@FaldoFarmMTUSA

The single biggest responsibility anyone with influence in golf has, until its change, is to vehemently call for ball speed to be reduced. There are so many arguments FOR this & NONE against.
A collective group of ‘influencers’(including TV networks)need to step up now

You’ve been a loyal student, but in making the change to Butch you now allow fresh eyes and fresh knowledge to influence your game.
