I love the analytic warm-up. Nearly every time I do it on the driving range, invariably I'll see one or two other golfers stop hitting balls and start stretching. I figure better to mind my own business than engage in a nerdy discussion ab…

I have been finding it fun to use the downtime to review old rounds to find areas of improvement and to build better course management strategies for future rounds.
I have some very general fitness questions, but figure who better to ask:…

Tyler,
Thanks for sharing those insights. That really helps to clarify things in my mind.
For fun, I dug up a recent scorecard (attached) along with a short anecdote of my own "non-elite" golf round which completely backs up your point …

It's an official stat kept by the PGA Tour, but I don't see it talked about beyond a very superficial level. The mental side of "bouncing back" - whether it's from 1 hole or a string of 5 holes - seems like a big grey area. I hear people commenting …

Is it just me or does the driving range at Stanford always seem to have a tailwind?

I have been working to fix early extension with transition movements:
The issue is I'm now losing the ball right - wa…

When I first read that article, it actually made me think the content on the GSA website is more advanced & thorough, and maybe not as commonly known/understood in the golf instruction world as I had assumed.
Also made me respect But…

When chipping or pitching around the green, I often hear professionals say something like:
a) land the ball on the green and get it rolling as soon as possible.
b) most amateurs don't think and just automatically grab their most lofted wedge
But …

For downwind shots, would you get more roll due to the lower trajectory? I wonder if it's enough to meaningfully impact the 2:1 ratio effect...
One other thing that I have always wondered about modeling the impact of a headwind is:
Whether someo…

I'm curious what primary force is motivating the upper body to right side bend at such a high rate after impact - is it to counter-balance the momentum of the golf club in the follow-through?

This could be a really interesting thread.
My 2020 golf goal: Record two rounds of -1.5 Strokes Gained Off the Tee (or better)
It seems like a strange goal, but it wasn't random. In 2019, I used DECADE Elite to record stats (output of …

I find it fascinating to hear Tiger Woods talk about his hands. But what the heck does he actually mean?

I swear I'm only a suffering narcissist when it comes to the golf swing:
(1) I hate how my front leg/knee tends to buckle - a la Bubba Watson - when approaching the top of the backswing
(2) I hate how my arms don't stay extended well into…
