 I often long for the days when Slammin’ Sammy Snead and Gene Sarazan
played the game, a couple of great sticks with personalities just as
bright as their games. Well, fortunately for golf fans, there’s a new
kid on the block and he’s brought a unique backstory and stellar game
(albeit with a modern flair). His name is Will MacKenzie, or “Willie
Mac,” as the 2006 Reno-Tahoe victor is sometimes called.

 Down the stretch, the last thing you want is to find yourself
uncomfortable over a short putt. In most cases, the yips comes from the
golfer decelerating, the putter then strays offline and well, there you
have a missed putt! |

 You can’t fire a gun unless you pull the trigger, right? A similar
concept also applies to the golf swing, which also usually requires a
“trigger move” to get the body moving. Now, not everyone has a trigger,
some manage to swing well from a static position to a dynamic position.
But for the rest of us who often find confusion when it comes to where
to start the golf swing, a trigger move can help you start swinging in
a fluid and consistent manner. |

 When it comes to training aids, it’s important to know that they must be used properly and with regularity for improvement to take place. Most importantly, though, is choosing the proper aid for your particular problem. Like a fitted set of golf clubs, the right training aid can bring significant improvement—if it’s right for you. To make sure you choose the one that’s best suited to your problem, it’s a good idea to consult with your pro and discuss his or her feelings regarding what your needs are and what aid would be most helpful.

 No matter how hard you work at achieving a technically sound golf
swing, once in a while you’ll encounter a small flaw that causes your
shots to run amuck. One of the most overlooked and easy-to-fix mistakes
golfers make involves the position of the hands at the top of the
backswing. For all intents and purposes, you can have a perfect weight
shift, a great arm extension, a powerful coil, and the perfect head and
spine position, but if you don’t have your hands holding the clubshaft
properly at the top of the swing—well, the downswing may as well be
doomed from the start. |

 I can’t tell you how many people come to my lesson tee and say, “If I
could just get rid of my baseball swing, then all my problems would be
solved!” My initial thought is always: I wish you had a baseball swing,
because it would help you play better golf. |

 Unlike the full swing, putting requires the utmost in limited and
controlled movements. Any swaying, lifting or sliding can cause you to
miss putts. The same holds true for your eyes. Any deviation from the
golf ball through impact can lead to a variety of mis-hits that affect not
only your aim but your distance control as well. |
