My current post, The Practice of No Practice, applying the Taoist practice of wei wu wei to golf can be found at golf360.substack.com. Thank you for your attention. Hey, y’all, I’ve been busy writing another book. I just launched it on Amazon and I encourage you to purchase it. It has a number of elements […]

Possibly the Oddest Golf Tip I’ve Ever Given
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 […]
I watch the LPGA and you should too
You could improve your game greatly by watching the LPGA more than the PGA, and be entertained as much or more. I’m addressing this more to men than women because women already know of the advantages of watching the LPGA. I attended the Portland Classic the other day, and, once again, discovered why I like […]
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 […]

But many handicappers are flippers, a term Lee Trevino uses to describe golfers who flip their […]
What we can learn from…
Sahith Theegala had a great amateur career, won twice on the Korn Ferry Tour, but has never won on the PGA Tour, though he’s been in contention a couple times in this his rookie season. He drives to each tournament. His parents are immigrants from India. Sahith was born in Orange County, California. On Sunday […]
Tiger and Charlie
For me, it was uplifting, in this time of doom and gloom, to see Tiger and his son playing golf at the PNC father/child event, as well as others like 86 year old Gary Player, 82 year old Lee Trevino, ageless Tom Watson, Henrik Stenson and his 11 year old son, and the eventual winners […]
Troubleshooting
We’ve watched Phil get out of trouble time after time. We’ve watched Tiger get out of trouble often. And before these two magicians, we watched Arnold get himself out of trouble. But few of us have the skills of these experts, and practically all of us, handicappers and pros, get into trouble a number of […]
