It's been a long summer. If you played a lot of golf, it's time to check the condition of your grips.

Slick grips can be a major problem in how you play; they can cause you to have to grip too tightly, and a tight grip can lead to all kinds of swing issues. Look for wear on the grip where your thumbs go (on both hands), and the end of the grip. But just in general, look for wear on the grip due to too tight of a grip.

2024 Adult Summer Camp is here!  First thing is the "Dress Code" for the golf course and practice areas.  I have recently had to remind several of the men that a collared shirt must be worn on the practice areas, just like the course.

I have been back at work and teaching for two months now.  It is amazing to me that for those of you who are practicing your golf swing, most of the time seems to be spent with your driver and not one of your wedges.  I know that when I play the game, I tend to hit my wedges many more times on the golf course than I do my driver.  Remember that practicing your swing is much easier to do with a short club than it is a long club like your driver.
