Anyone who has been golfing for more than a few weeks will probably have seen ads for golf swing trainers. There are quite a few people talking about them, but most golfers aren't really sure they need something like a golf swing training aid. After all, isn't that what the driving range is for? What can a golf swing training aid do that you can't do on your own? It's actually fairly simple. Every time you hit a ball, you judge how well you swung by the distance traveled and the direction the ball took. If it flies high and lands only ten meters away, you know you didn't do a great job . . . but do you know how to fix it? What exactly caused that last ball to swerve to the left? In order to really be good at golf, you need to understand precisely what is happening when the ball is hit. The power and the position of the swing determine what will happen once that ball leaves the tee. If you don't understand what the dynamics are and how to change them, then all the practice in the world is going to result in minimal improvement. While you will eventually improve, most golfers prefer to speed things up a bit. If you could reduce months at the driving range into just a...more

I hear many debates on the inflexibility of the Rules of Golf. I hear many discussions on "honor and integrity", then the opposite side of the coin with "stupid and inflexible" on certain rules. And situations that have occurred on the professional golf tour feed and fan this debate even more.One example is Roberto De Vicenzo's tragic loss at the 1968 Masters. Why did he lose this Major? He signed the wrong scorecard. Look at the recent disqualification of Jim Furyk from a FedEx cup event because he overslept and missed the Pro-Am part of the golf tournament. Both of these point out examples that will make event the ardent golf traditionalist question things. And personally I think that maybe it is time for the USGA and the R&A to take a look at things. One example that I always quote about the rules is the rule that states if you ball moves for any reason while you are addressing it, that is a penalty. This rule seems a little crazy to me. And I am a big traditionalist when it comes to the game of golf.So what makes sense? Well I will leave it to the ultimate "experts" in the golf world to figure it out, but I do have a few thoughts on the...more
