There is a correct method to sed up any golf shot. Regardless of your thoughts, a step by step method creates the greatest opportunity to hit consistent golf shots. As I thought about my process, I realized that most wayward shots occur because I truncated or missed a step in my setup. I realize this seems a bit crazy, but my poor efforts are mental not physical. Therefore, if you want to hit consistent shots, following a proven setup routine is key. And you are lucky today because I found the one I use explained by a very popular instructor.

What A Crazy Finish At The 2025 US Open
Congratulations to JJ Spaun for winning the 2025 US Open Golf Championship. It was a crazy finish that was the survival of the fittest. It is hard to believe how challenging it was for the players to even make par. I was cheering for Adam Scott, but alas it was not his year. Regardless, JJ Spaun earned the win as he played the best golf down the stretch.
Now on to the Open Championship from July 13-20 from the Royal Portrush Golf Club in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. It is going to be exciting.
I am a grateful golfer! See you on the links!
Watching The US Open at Oakmont
Watching the US Open at Oakmont Country Club has been an eye opener. The course looks to be in fantastic shape with the 5 1/2 inch rough, undulating greens, and the deep sand traps. As I sit and watch the top golfers navigate the course, I cannot stop and wonder how I would do at Oakmont this weekend. Looking at the some of the crazy lies the professionals hit out of, I am thinking that if I broke 120, life would be good. I definitely could not play from the tips as I do not have the game for that type of distance. However, watching the professionals grind their way around Oakmont, three things come to mind that all amateurs should learn.

The 2024 US Open demonstrated that making short putts are critical to playing great golf. I watch player after player hit putts to around 4 feet only to have to sink this knee knocker for par. As it turned out, five feet and closer cost Rory McIlroy this year’s title. Having said that, we all know that the most strokes are gained on the green, especially distances between 3 and 6 feet. Knowing that this short distance is the most challenging for amateur golfers, how about I offer a way for you to make more short putts?

Congratulations to Bryson DeChambeau for winning the 2024 US Open. There was an exciting struggle down the stretch against Rory McIlroy.
Unfortunately, McIlroy struggled on the last four holes and DeChambeau came through in the clutch. Specifically, his 55 yard sand shot on the 18th hole to six feet was the shot that clinched the US title.
Congratulations to Bryson Dechambeau on his second US Open title.
