And who can forget this (no offense)?

And Lexi Thompson shot at 61 to move into second place behind Lincicome.
School of Golf’s Martin Hall and Blair O’Neal shows how you can improve your backswing and downswing, and stop the dreaded over the top move with their “over the topper chopper stopper”.
Canada’s Adam Hadwin had 13(!) birdies at the CareerBuilder Challenge to become the first Canadian to shoot 59 on the PGA Tour. Hadwin’s round put him into first place after three rounds, and hopefully can have a strong final round to notch his first PGA Tour win.

Hard as it may be to believe, but it’s been more than a week since a 59 was shot on tour.
There are the best highlights I can find online at the moment:
Here is his scorecard (not too shabby). His amateur partners (it’s a Pro-Am) didn’t really help him too much today.
How good is this?

This one showed up in my daily e-mail from the GolfChannel, and I think the majority of golfers can use this tip from Golf Channel Academy ‘s Travis Fulton.
I think the key is where the face is pointed in the backswing. Too many golfers who slice open the clubface up on the backswing and can not adjust it fast enough on the downswing to get it back to square.
I found a link to this video in my Facebook newsfeed today. I had never heard of “Scratch Golf Academy” before and thought I would give it a view. This video give some good advice on putting basics, and should help any players who struggle putting, especially those who have trouble with their distance control.
Scratch Golf Academy has lots of video lessons (91!!) on their Youtube channel.
