How can you tell that you played poorly if you don’t have a handicap?

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.…

Great round of golf to welcome new year

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…

I’m lifting my head in the backswing- I may have found a fix

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…
