The Golf Hype

Donald Trump has publicly slammed the recent ball rollback decision, labeling the move "RIDICULOUS." This harsh critique represents a significant pushback against the USGA's authority in the sport.

Why You Can’t Strike Your Woods and Long Irons ⛳👇👇

There are few things more disheartening on the course than facing a long approach shot, pulling out a fairway wood, and hitting a weak shot that travels only a few yards into the rough.

As swing speeds naturally decrease over time, many golfers find that their reliable mid-irons no longer offer enough distance to reach the green, forcing them to turn to hybrids and fairway woods.

However, these clubs present a unique challenge: their low loft makes it difficult to get the ball into the air. This often leads to a cycle of frustration where you either catch the ground early or miss the ball entirely.

A Path to Better Ball Striking

Golf instructor Danny Maude offers a solution to this common problem through a clear, three-step technique designed to eliminate "chunked" shots and help you get more height and distance from your longer clubs:

💧Refining Your Setup: Making small adjustments to how you address the ball to better suit the nature of fairway woods and hybrids.

💧Controlling the Arc: Learning how to manage the path and depth of your swing to ensure consistent contact.

💧Mastering the Release: Developing a natural wrist action that allows the clubhead to release correctly, helping you launch the ball with ease.

By focusing on these fundamental areas, you can turn those intimidating long shots into consistent, high-launching strikes.

Putting accounts for 40% of your strokes but most golfers give it only 10% of their practice time 🤯

Short game inside 100 yards makes up 60-65% of all shots in a round. The mismatch is clear: most strokes are lost close to the green, but most practice happens far from it.

If your practice time doesn't match where you're actually losing strokes, your scores won't move much no matter how hard you work on the range.

Be honest, how much of your last practice session was actually spent on the green? 👇

Putting isn't about making everything. It's about controlling distance to leave yourself an easy second putt 🎯

From 30+ feet, aim to leave 90% of putts inside a 3-foot circle. From 20-30 feet, 85% inside 2 feet. From 10-20 feet, a 20% make rate is solid, with misses staying inside 18 inches. Tour pros make about 50% from 8 feet.

Most amateurs are closer to 40% from just 6 feet.

These benchmarks are how you actually start eliminating 3-putts.

You Won’t Believe How EASY this Makes the Golf Swing

Practice does not make perfect. It makes permanent. If you spend hours at the range doing the wrong things, you just build bad habits into your game. Many golfers struggle with this every week.

They sway away from the ball or sling their arms at the target. This makes it impossible to hit a consistent golf swing. You feel like you are working hard but your game never gets better. It is a cycle of frustration that keeps you stuck.

Danny Maude explains that you do not need a four hour practice session to fix this. You can rewire your muscle memory in just six minutes a day.

Adjusting your tee height is one of the simplest ways to improve your game, yet so many players overlook it! 📐

Here is the quick breakdown to get the perfect setup every time:

💧Driver: Tee it up so half of the ball sits above the top of the club head.

💧3-Wood: Position the ball so just a quarter of it is above the crown.

💧Hybrid: Keep the ball perfectly level with the top edge of the club.

💧Iron: Push the tee almost all the way down, leaving it just barely above the grass.

Locking in these heights means cleaner contact and better shots before you even start your backswing.
