When Cameron Young stepped onto the 18th tee at TPC Sawgrass trailing Matt Fitzpatrick by one shot on Sunday at The Players Championship, he did something that most amateurs can only dream of: he hit a 375-yard drive that split the fairway and effectively won him the tournament. It was the longest drive recorded at … Read more
Fat and thin shots are two sides of the same coin — and they haunt golfers of every skill level. A fat shot catches the ground before the ball, producing a divot behind the ball that robs you of distance and accuracy. A thin shot catches the ball at the equator or above, sending a … Read more
The slice is the most common miss in golf. Studies from launch monitor data estimate that over 70 percent of amateur golfers slice the ball, and it costs the average player 20 to 40 yards of distance and any hope of consistent accuracy off the tee. The frustrating part is that most slicers know they … Read more
If you have ever wondered what it would take to consistently hit your irons with authority and precision — solid contact, predictable trajectory, dependable distances — you are not alone. Iron play is where most rounds are won or lost, and it is the area where recreational golfers struggle the most. The driver gets all … Read more
Every golfer wants more distance off the tee. Those extra 20-30 yards don’t just satisfy the ego—they leave shorter approach shots, open up par-5s for reaching in two, and fundamentally change how you play a course. The good news is that distance isn’t purely a gift of genetics or youth. With the right combination of … Read more

They feel like opposite problems — and they are — but they often share the same root causes. … Read more

How to fix a slice in golf is learnable with the right drills, grip adjustments, and swing path corrections. This … Read more
Every golfer has been there — a round is going well until one persistent miss starts creeping in. Maybe it’s a slice that keeps drifting right, a hook that dives left, or a topped iron shot that barely gets airborne. The frustrating part isn’t just the bad shots themselves; it’s not knowing why they’re happening … Read more
Distance off the tee is one of the most coveted skills in golf. Modern PGA Tour data shows that strokes gained from tee-to-green correlates heavily with overall scoring performance, and driver distance is a critical component. Adding just 10 yards off the tee can reduce overall stroke average by nearly half a stroke, translating to … Read more
The draw is one of the most sought-after shots in golf. A well-struck draw starts slightly right of the target (for a right-handed golfer), curves gently back to the left, and lands with extra roll.
