For Christmas I asked for two golf training aids. The first one I want to talk about is the Eye Line putting aide. I waited until now before writing about this training aide because I wanted to use it a few times before making any comments. It is designed to align all your body parts and reinforce a straight putting stroke. So, in my stocking it went. Continue reading
Evolution not Revolution!
Talking about golf everyday is great fun. I enjoy writing my musings down to help and sharing them. If you are a regular follower, you understand that most of the time our discussions is more about idea sharing than actually changing the fundamental aspects of our golf swing.

Getting to Know Your New Golf Equipment
With the holiday season coming to an end, many of us received some golf equipment. It was probably what we asked for and this is always a good thing. Unfortunately, I have a secret I need to share: if you think that because you bought a new piece of equipment your game will miraculously improve, then I hate to burst your bubble. Yes, we generally see some quick changes, but the long term success of our new kit still requires work and effort.
