Our golf tips will include an ever-widening variety of concepts ranging from simple reminders to brand-new techniques to reduce your strokes.

Lately there seems to be a trend toward recommending technological advances for improving one's game, which is, don't misunderstand, great. New materials to make golf balls, club heads and shafts, et cetera are certainly helpful. However, a good player is a good player and a bad player is a bad player — regardless of their tools of the trade.

Instead, we wish to focus attention on improving the human-mechanics behind playing better golf.
