by Natalie Adams While watching Sunday golf the other day, I heard the commentator say how well this pro held her finish during the putting stroke. The term “hold your finish” is fairly common, especially during a full swing; however, I had not heard it applied to the putting stroke before. And each pro I
by Christina Ricci I’m sure you’ve all heard the advice that on your irons your hands should be ahead at impact, and seen the photos of the ball being compressed at impact by the pros. And, we’ve also done a video with Mike Dero on compressing the ball. But this is different. In this video

Of course there was Spieth’s miraculous bunker shot to win the tournament, but there were also some very delicate shots from the deep rough around the green. And those shots are way more difficult for we everyday golfers, than
by Clay Ballard The golf swing is hard enough as it is; and if you have a reverse pivot it becomes almost impossible to hit good shots. You may not even know you have a reverse pivot, in which case it will be up to one of your buddies to point it out. Or, just
