As I mentioned in my last post, we have a tendency to get lazy with our hips. Thomas Jefferson once said that many physical problems started with human beings with the advent of using the horse for transportation for it was then that we started riding much more than walking, and consequently started getting out […]

Waking Up the Hips
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 Saudi Tour: Boom or Bust? And What About Phil?
Imagine if the Mafia decided to start a golf tour, offering millions to cash-strapped PGA players who jumped ship–players like Westwood, Garcia, Fowler, Norman, and Mickelson.
