Moe Norman, the eccentric Canadian golfer- who has long been regarded as one of the finest ballstrikers

to ever swing a golf club gave us many great quotes to back up his game.

One of my favorite quotes was when describing the size of a divot he stated-

"A divot should be thin like a bacon strip not deep like a pork chop"

This is the quintessential quote to describing the lowpoint of the golf swing.

Longer drives are always on every golfers wishlist.

Understanding the physics of how a drive can go longer is as simple as focusing your attention to a clock.

One minute is all it can take.

Please note: Whilst long drives are fun for the ego and can help you get a shorter club in your hand for your

next shot- never give up the ability to hit the ball straight when searching for more distance.

One of the most important steps to becoming a better golfer is to get the strike of impact consistent.

A golfer will never play great golf or shoot low scores until he can hit the ball well enough to control the distance each shot goes.

In this video I discuss the main reasons golfers hit those dreaded fat and thin shots and a solution to learn a better strike.

Connection can be a dirty word as far as how it relates to a dynamic functioning golf swing.

When we hear the words connection we think that means sticking the arms to our side and keeping them there throughout the swing.

Look at the amazing snapshot of 1967 British Open Champion Roberto DeVicenzo above.

There is enough room between his left arm and armpit here to drive a train through , and this is halfway into his downswing.

Every golfer is looking for more consistency. A more solid strike of the ball. A straighter shot & obviously without losing power.

One of the true goals to maintain a nice strike with nice direction is to minimize not only the way the clubface

returns back to impact but also how the shaft returns to impact.

Balance in the golf swing is one of the major factors that will accommodate the golfer in his quest for a better motion.

It is hard to believe how many times I have heard or read that to use the ground correctly the right foot should remain

down when striking the ball. This is a myth. And a myth that is very easy to refute.

How the right foot operates is based on a number of things- which I will go into more detail about in future posts.

Yet for this conversation the right foot should react to how much lateral movement the body is undertaking within

the swing at hand. And this can and will vary with different clubs.
