Is it time to back off?
In my last post I talked about how playing more golf is a good thing. It’s especially ideal if you’re the kind of golfer who spends a lot of time on the practice fairway – getting bogged down on swing mechanics and thought. The article was well received, but I did get a recurring question,…

Clive Palmer You’re The Best!
Dear Mr. Palmer, I wanted to write to you and tell you about a game I had recently at the Palmer Coolum Resort. Here’s the story… I live locally but don’t play much these days, but when a mate of mine turned up out-of-the-blue we decided to have a hit. It was a spur of…
Why some golfers will NEVER improve their game
