Getting Rid of My Slice – 50 Yards in Four Months?

By Sean ⋅ July 20, 2009 ⋅ 9 comments

Back in 2007, I was playing the best golf of my life. I had gotten myself down to a 5.9, was driving the ball well, and hitting very controlled iron shots. My natural shot was a high (what I thought was VERY high), slight draw. Late in that season, I played a round on a very windy day and really struggled to keep the ball low in the wind. If I remember right, I went from shooting in the 70s/low 80s, to a day when I was in the 90s. So I set out to try and find a way to hit a low ball off the tee. It turned out to be a huge mistake that really destroyed my golf swing for over a year.

By Sean ⋅ June 25, 2009 ⋅ One comment

A couple months ago the people at Sonic Golf sent me one of their System-1 Golf Training Systems. I had heard about the acoustic golf learning system through the grapevine. It had created a lot of buzz at the PGA Merchandise Show and even made an appearance on The Haney Project. So, I was pretty anxious to get my hands on the device and see what it could do for my game. Let’s have a look!

Review: Amphibian Towel

By Sean ⋅ December 4, 2008 ⋅ 4 comments

The creators of the Frogger Brush Pro have done it again. They have managed to find a way to improve a simple golf tool. With the Brush Pro they were able to take a simple golf brush design and turn it into something easier to use, friendlier for the environment and extremely effective. With the new Amphibian Towel they have jazzed up something as simple as a towel.

Making the Most of the Driving Range

By Sean ⋅ February 18, 2008 ⋅ 6 comments

We have all been at the driving range and found ourselves in a mindless trance of pounding ball after ball after endless range ball. That groove does absolutely nothing to help your game. If anything it probably hurts it as you are probably further ingraining poor techniques into your swing. Today we will discuss some ways to avoid getting into that groove, while making your driving range sessions more productive.

Golfweek Editor Fired over Noose Cover

By Sean ⋅ January 18, 2008 ⋅ 2 comments

You could argue all day over whether or not the punishment for Kelly Tilghman’s lynch slip up was adequate or not. Personally, I thought it was all blown out of proportion. What I don’t understand is how anyone could think putting a noose on the cover of a magazine would be a good [...]
