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 […]

A most amazing golf shot heard, and seen, round the world

June 20, 2022 by Stephen Altschuler Leave a Comment

I don’t know about you but the last time I was in a fairway bunker with 160 yards to the green (at Pacific Dunes), I was thinking more about just getting out than reaching the green. But when England’s Matt Fitzpatrick found himself in this situation on the last hole of the 2022 U.S. Open […]

Why Long Pants?

May 30, 2022 by Stephen Altschuler 2 Comments

You don’t necessarily need to be intellectually smart to play good golf, which is true of most sports.  You just need to get the fundamentals of the swing down, learn how to chip and pitch, and figure out how to read and execute putts. Any moron can do that. You don’t need a college degree […]

The Saudi Tour: Boom or Bust? And What About Phil?

May 21, 2022 by Stephen Altschuler Leave a Comment

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. Well the Saudis, yes the same country which birthed 19 of the 9/11 hijackers, and who murdered Washington Post reporter Jamal Khashoggi, and who just recently “allowed” women to […]

The Laboratory (and a special announcement about this newsletter)

April 16, 2022 by Stephen Altschuler Leave a Comment

I got pretty good knocking that Whiffle over the living room couch and against the curtains…until…one day…when I got a […]

The Stretch for Added Distance

March 23, 2022 by Stephen Altschuler 6 Comments

I must admit, I get lazy with my golf swing and can easily fall into a kind of default when it comes to the top of the backswing. For that is the point when my body needs to stretch to its maximum capacity. And those last few words are most important because what you don’t […]
