Best Series

Since Life in the Rough began, I’ve done series on a handful of topics. I think you’ll find these helpful in addressing specific parts of your game.

Beach Week

Late in May 2007, I did a week-long series on sand play, covering many aspects of hitting from bunkers.

Stack and Tilt

The Stack and Tilt swing took the golf world by storm in 2007, when Golf Digest first published an article about the new technique. Stack and Tilt architects Andy Bennett and Mike Plummer had been teaching the swing on the various tours for a while when it finally gained world-wide attention in June 2007. Since then, I examined the swing a handful of times. These posts continue to be the most popular at Life in the Rough.

Conquering Your Slice

The vast majority of amateur golfers tend to slice the ball. As handicaps grow higher, the percentage of slicers goes higher. It should be no surprise then, that there are a lot of golfers out there looking to get rid of a slice.

In July 2007, I spent a week looking at the slice, covering several causes and looking at some cures. Have a look at these posts and get started on dropping that slice for good.

Total Game Improvement Week

Total Game Improvement Week is, by far, the most extensive series I’ve done at Life in the Rough. As Fall 2007 approached, I wanted to do a final push for the year to help players make those end-of-season improvements to end on a good note.

Each day for five days, I did a post that presented something covering every conceivable facet of the game of golf. Each day included tips, drills, and information on putting, short game, recovery, course management, driving, sand play, mental game, driving, fitness and iron play.

Below is a link to the recap post, where you can see what was covered in the individual posts.

  • Hitting The Sweet Spot
  • The golf swing is a complex beast. There are so many mistakes that can be made that drain power that it’s mind boggling: casting, late weight transfer, poor swing plane, getting “stuck” on the downswing. The list goes on. But one of the most fixable things that we may not be doing and don’t even realize it, is hitting the ball consistently in the sweet spot of the club.

    I’ve heard it said that Bobby Jones used to [...]
