‘These Guys are Good’

A friend of mine sent me this link to an awesome golf video. Thanks Brandon. There is not really much to say, but just watch!

That is amazing. I especially like the roar of the crowd!

Matt Kuchar plays an amazing shot! Not sure I could do that; could you?

I am a grateful golfer! See you on the links!

Practicing for my 10-minute golf lesson

What can you learn in a 10-minute golf lesson? This is the second 10-minute lesson I received from a PGA Ontario member. During the Toronto Golf Show, PGA Ontario had it usual kiosk with and large number of teaching professionals waiting to help amateurs improve their game. This years lesson proved that even an old dog can learn a few new tricks.

I was fortunate to be paired with PGA Canada Golf Professional Kyle Docherty. Kyle is an Assistant Professional, Scarboro Golf & C.C. and if you are in the area looking for a lesson or two, I recommend you give Kyle a call. He is a positive, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic teacher who quickly identified some fundamental errors in my swing. Continue reading →

Toronto Golf and Travel Show 2016

Last Friday, I made my annual trek to the Toronto Golf and Travel Show. This year’s trip was extra special because my darling wife accompanied me as I wove my way through the club demos, travel booths and discount shops.

As per previous years, the Toronto Golf show was full of areas to try new equipment, long drive contest, putting contests, swing analyzer, receive lessons, discount shops, and plenty of travel destinations. We enjoyed talking to people from Golf PEI, Golf Association Ontario and Golf Canada. We were there early before the crowds and lasted about 2.5 hours.

Different Golf Swings

Last night I had an epiphany! I realized that a different golf swing is required for different course conditions. This thought may fly in the face of conventional wisdom, but I really think I am on to something.

This post is just the opening thought and I plan to expand on this idea later today. Now that I have you thinking, I will be interested to hear your thoughts on this crazy idea!
