Solid Backswing Pivot Golf Tip

This tip will help those golfers that swing hard but still don't drive it very far.
Also, it will golfers who try to keep your head still during your swing. The most natural thing your head can do is float with your body as you coil behind the ball.

If you try to keep your head still you'll leave your weight over your left leg. This leads to a reverse pivot, the most common and most damaging power leak. To correct this
problem

Your head should move enough so that your nose points at your right foot at the top. If you're in this position, then you'll know that you've transferred your weight to your right side and are in the correct spot to deliver a powerful blow to the ball.

Phil Mickelson Backwards Shot on Short-Game DVD

A few posts ago I mentioned that Phil Mickelson released a short-game DVD. On that DVD he shows us a very cool backwards shot that he used a couple times during tournament play. If you're Phil Mickelson, you turn around backwards, twist the club in your hands so that it looks like a spatula, and presto ...

Rocco Mediate PGA's Lovable Loser

Last year was a very memorable to Rocco Mediate and the fans of the US Open. Rocco finished as the runner up at last years US Open. Mediate was playing in the pro-am for the FBR Open earlier this year, and when his group arrived at the final hole he had about a 12-foot putt for birdie. The crowd exploded with cheers after making that putt. There was this one heckler waiting...

“Hey Roc!” the guy belted. “If you'd have made a couple more of those at the Open, you would have won the (expletive) thing!”

Mediate's popularity hasn't dropped off. In the 21 tournaments he's played since the Open, the 46-year-old has been consistently mediocre. He has made 19 cuts, but has posted only two top-20s and hasn't come close to sniffing his first victory since 2002. Slowed by arthroscopic knee surgery in February, he's only 142nd on the money list.

Memorial Day Practice

The weather was perfect in San Diego to practice. It was a tough practice today... It seems like it hard to get back into it. I had my share of top balls but I think I still need to find a consistency within my swing. It's hard to focus on different things at the same time but I know what I need to work on. I practiced some shots on the tee, which seemed to help out. I was able to hit some shots cleanly and was able to get the hang time on some shots. But my question is "How effective is practicing iron shots off the tee?" When i transition from the tee to the golf mat it feels different. I can't seem to hit it cleanly. So I'm kind of confused on how to correct it...

Anybody have suggestions?
