Golf.com Top 100 Teacher Brady Riggs demonstrates how to keep your knee, thigh and hip aligned to create a strong, repeatable move.
This is a perfect example of this part of the swing described Ben Hogan’s 5 Lessons book.
Most drivers these days are 46 inches long, but Karsten Maas from Denmark has made a super-sized 4.37-m-long (14-ft 5-in) club. Maas’s club is the longest useable golf club in the world, according to the Guinness World Records, and from watching the video, it is a golf club that you need to have to have a slow and smooth swing in order to hit.
Getting a free drop of one club-length is a pretty big deal with this club.
There was a story today in the Toronto Star about an 81-year-old man getting a hole-in-one three straight days.

There was an article by ESPN.com about an ugly meeting of the U.S. team the Saturday night before the singles matches.
In the article, multiple sources apparently confirm that in the meeting, Tom Watson essentially told his squad “You stink”, and then it went downhill from there.
Toward the end of the meeting, Mickelson spoke to the team about each of his teammates and generated some team spirit and hope for a possible comeback from a 10-6 deficit.
After the ESPN article, Tom Watson issued his own statement. In the statement, Watson finally acts like a captain and takes full blame for the Ryder Cup results, and also says that he has spoken with Mickelson since the infamous post-matches press conference, and the conversation “ended with a better understanding of each other’s perspectives”.
The drama continues.
Want to hit more consistently solid and straighter shots? This is a great drill/swing thought to keep from hitting from and/or coming over the top and allow you to get the club on the target line.
