Weak glutes jack with your swing

I started a butt talk last week about the importance of strong glutes.   In a nutshell, this is the deal:  When you swing a club, you generate power from your hips.    Because your glutes are primarily responsible for movement at your hips, weak glutes compromise your skill during your swing. ...

“Golf requires goofy pants and a fat a$$.” - Happy Gilmore This is going to sound crazy, but Happy wasn’t totally wrong.  The goofy pants? Well, that’s up to you.  The fat a$$? Not exactly, but kinda.  The truer statement is, “Golf requires [your preferred legwear] and a STRONG a$$.”  Here’s why...

New study shows exercise can beat cancer

If you’re anything like me, you’re pretty over the excessive pharmaceutical ads as we’re watching Scottie crush it.  Now, before you click “reply” to tell me about how great your big pharma job is…  Of course, we need medicine.   I’m not saying that.   But man, it as gone off the...

Willy Zalatoris’ injury wake-up call

Earlier this week, Happy Gilmore’s caddy shared that he underwent his second back surgery in just over two years.  So, that closes the book on his 2025 season – a darn shame, because he is fun to watch.  His re-herniated discs following the PGA Championship are an unfortunate reminder that...

27% of us get answers differently

If you’re like me, and apparently 27% of Americans, you now use ChatGPT to search for answers instead of Google. It’s so much more intuitive. And so much faster. As golfers, we’ve accumulated knowledge and processes that have served us well…most of the time. But, the game evolves. Technology changes. And yesterday’s best practices can become...

One swing away from injury?

Good lord, Scottie Scheffler.  I feel like we’re starting to get to that feeling we had when we thought Tiger Woods was going to win every time he was in the field.  Man, it’s fun to watch.   If he can stay healthy, who knows what he is capable of pulling...

We all need to hear this…

 Let’s take a step back for a minute…  You are doing well.  Really, really well.  And no, this is not a rah rah speech to get you temporarily motivated.  Take a look around.  Everyone is stuck on their phone watching time-sucking reels and videos…but, you’re here.  Still searching for something...

#1 most dangerous movement in sports

ExternalOnly one more day until the PGA Championship fun begins. If The Masters was any indication, I think we’re in store for another doozy.  How cool would it be for two golfers to win their career Grand Slam in back-to-back majors? Maybe Spieth’s surgically repaired wrist from last year is what will make...

How to stay off the IR

Golf season is here.  And I see golfers making the same mistake every year around this time.  They dust off their clubs.   Break out the polo shirts.   Take a look in the mirror.   And panic b/c the spring is here and the vision they had on January 1st of looking...

TODAY ONLY – Rare life wisdom from a teenager

This morning, my son did not wake up on time for school, so he was in a panic so he didn’t miss his ride.  Instead of his usual excuses of “the alarm didn’t go off”, “it’s not my fault”, or “I don’t know what happened”, he took ownership.  He said,...
