I recently discovered Martin Chuck when I found a video of his advertising his training aide, The Tour Striker Educator. The Educator seems like a great training device.
I also found this video, which is along the same lines as the Educator, but is really just a simple swing thought/visualization.
Remember, the clubface pretty much mirrors the back of the left hand during the swing.
I hope this helps all those slicers out there.
A poor Sunshine Tour player took a ricochet off of a tree right to a place where you don’t want to take a ricochet.
The Golf Channel’s Morning Drive missed the perfect opportunity to tie-in the best “hit in groin” moment in primetime television.
And there is also Chi Chi Rodriguez getting himself during the glass breaking challenge on Big Break.

According to the Power Rankings, which are based on recent performance, it should be a pretty even match, but the U.S. team is too strong at the top. The Internationals may have Jason Day, but the U.S team has 7 players ranked higher than the second-highest ranked International (Hideki Matsuyama). Maybe the fact that the matches will take place in South Korea will even it out.
