The other day I was resting near the first tee after I played a few holes, when another golfer approached. We greeted then exchanged a bit of small talk which went something like that:
Other golfer: How did you go?
Me: Not very well.…

I watched a video from one of the top golf YouTubers on the matter of swinging 'over the top'. This guy is like the YouTube golf royalty. Just signed a big deal with a famous golf club manufacturer, so he's not just a wannabe youtuber. His explanation…
I must have watched every single YouTube video there is on the subject and apart from 1, all of them are complete rubbish. They come up with these complicated explanations as to why we swing over the top, and they all promise to "cure the over…

I found another obvious reason why I am lifting my head in back swing. I'ts my posture!
Went to a driving range today. I like the nets, and I can judge whether I am hitting the ball well, but I don't get to see the actual flight. And today…

I paid 17 times more for my new Titleist Vokey SM6 wedges than my Wilson lob wedge. I'm no expert, but I don't think they play 17 times better. In fact, I don't think they play any better at all. I hit as many crappy shots with the new Vokey…

No, I have hit greens before, but I never had to use the pitch fork because my balls never made a pitch mark on the green.
The greens at our golf club are really dry. Plus they are in Sydney, so we don't see that much rain here. Today, however…

The golf course was completely abandoned today. I thought it was closed, but apparently open, just not popular on January 1st. I spent some time at the nets to practice the "lifting of the head" fix. It worked to some degree, but I'm still not…

2021 Update...
What I thought a couple of years ago makes perfect sense, but I don't think my lack of flexibility is the main issue here. I got into the habit of videotaping my swing lately and I found that I still lift my head, but something…

What golf irons should I get? Well, that is a question and a half.
I started my search for better irons when I realised that I can hit the ball properly, every now and then. Actually, it was even sooner than that. It was when I realised that…
