Moe Norman - The Best Golfer You Never Heard Of

A few post ago I wrote an article called, Just Put That Dumb Guy On That Dumb Guy. It was quote from the greatest golfer you never heard of.

I had actually seen footage of him on The Golf Channel's Top Ten Ugliest Swings. Everyone regarded him as one of the best ball strikers...

Treat The One-Piece Takeaway As If It Were A Putt

Don't Let Your Ego Get In The Way Of Your Golf Swing

I was at the driving range yesterday and two guys settled in to the area next to me. They were pretty buff. The kind of guys that I'm sure played high school football and are still living off the fame of winning the State Championship. I didn't really pay attention to them. Just a simple head nod and I went about my business.By this time in my session,...

"How Ridiculous" Golf Stunt

 I came across this video while visiting the crew over at Pro Golf Talk. I doubt that they were able to pull it off in one take, or as some speculate, the validity of the shot at all, but I am tempted to give it a try.

It is about to get hot out here in Phoenix. Really hot. I have been mentally preparing myself for the 115 degree weather that is the norm in The Valley of the Sun during the summer months. I'm used to hot. I lived in Miami for fifteen years before making the move to Arizona a month and half ago, but it rarely reached triple digits.Everyone says that...

54 Holes In One Day...At The Driving Range

I had a great session at the driving range yesterday. Originally, I had planned on just working on my chipping and putting. They usually have a bunch of balls sitting on or near the practice green for anyone to utilize. Since the majority of the people only use the range, I usually have the entire practice area to myself. I love working on the short...
