One of the awesome things I like about The Grateful Golfer is my plan to willingness to freely share all things golf. I think it is important to be open to suggestions and sage advice of other players/readers who have experienced some of the same golfing issues. It is these helpful people who expand my knowledge about and understanding about golf. They also aid in my continuing quest to increase my knowledge of this fun sport.

Fixing My Golf Swing By Going Backwards
What’s in your golf bag?
Fixing any golf swing is difficult. Fixing your own swing without professional help is insanely challenging.
