Notes, Questions, and My Two Cents

May 31, 2021 by Stephen Altschuler 2 Comments

Long hitting Jason Kokrak won his second tournament of the year at Ben Hogan’s old haunt Sunday, beating Jordan Spieth and his cheering minions by two shots.  I think if Kokrak can figure out how to control the spin of his wedges, he may be close to unbeatable. Faldo thinks he should get new wedges […]

September 21, 2020 by Stephen Altschuler 2 Comments

Putting Basics

Inbee Park hit five buckets of range balls when she was first introduced to golf, but it wasn’t until she got to the practice green that she was hooked on the sport. She just liked the way the ball fell into the cup and the sound that made. The rest was history as Inbee went […]

Further Thoughts on Clubhead Speed

July 9, 2019 by Stephen Altschuler 1 Comment

NCAA champ (from Oklahoma State) and tour rookie, and now PGA winner, Wolff, has a home-grown swing that launches balls like a […]
