Possibly the Oddest Golf Tip I’ve Ever Given

October 10, 2022 by Stephen Altschuler 1 Comment

So, I’m at the range the other day trying to figure out what to do with my swing that’s been driving me nuts lately, and I stumbled upon something that shocked the shit out of me. I finally realized that my swing is not the problem and never has been. You see, for a long […]

And Now that the Hips are Awake…

August 16, 2022 by Stephen Altschuler Leave a Comment

As I mentioned in my last post, we have a tendency to get lazy with our hips.

Waking Up the Hips

August 8, 2022 by Stephen Altschuler Leave a Comment

The older we get, the lazier our hips get.That’s been true for me and I think many others as well. Perhaps if I’d been less shy as a teen, I would have learned the Twist–that dance craze of the 60s–better and perhaps retained that rotational expertise into my older age. But, alas, I could do […]

The Snap at Impact

August 1, 2022 by Stephen Altschuler Leave a Comment

Yes, the golf swing is a bottom’s up affair. The feet to the legs to the hips to the core to the shoulders to the core to the hips to the legs and…what’s missing? What’s missing is… Many of my posts appear for free at golf360.substack.com. Some, like this one, can be seen for a […]
