School of Golf host Martin Hall teaches how pushing and pulling can sometimes be a good thing in the swing, “pulling” with the body while “pushing” with the arms.

Washington Beats Stanford for NCAA Women’s Golf Championship
The Washington Huskies completed an upset win over defending champion Stanford Cardinal to capture the 2016 NCAA Women’s Golf Championship.
The championship matches may have had the shot of the year when Washington’s Ying Luo holed-out for birdie on the 18th hole to win her match.
Here are the highlights from the finals.
Jordan Spieth Marshmallow Trick Shot
I believe this is from a clinic early in the week for the Byron Nelson Tournament.
Is it any wonder why everyone seems to like this guy so much?
Tiger Woods Puts Three in the Water from 100 yards at Quicken Loans Media Day
TIger was at media day for the tournament he hosts, the Quicken Loans Invitational. During the proceedings he hit a few shots on the 100 yard par-3, and hit the first three in the water.
According to the Golf Channel, it was “…a brisk, blustery morning, with no warm-up, Woods couldn’t hit the green from 102 yards away, each timid strike lacking the proper distance, speed and conviction.”
I am guessing that he won’t be playing any PGA Tour events, or majors, any time soon.

Best Advice Received by GC’s Breed and Hall
After watching the David Leadbetter videos on golfchannel.com, this video queued up where Michael Breed and Martin Hall share with each other the best golf swing advice they have ever received.
Both sets of advice are great, and should probably be incorporated into everyone’s games.
David Leadbetter and the “A Swing”
I got a link to the first video in an e-mail from the Golf Channel the other day. In it, David Leadbetter shares the 3 main components to his famous ‘A Swing’ that he teaches players of all levels.
What I found most interesting in the video is how he describes “coiling”.
I watched the above video, and when it finished the video below loaded and I think it should be watched as it seems to be a continuation of the above video. Leadbetter shares a couple of drills to help sync your body during the golf swing.
My favourite part of the video is the “enthralled” and “enthusiastic” kids watching his demonstration.
It’s interesting watching these videos and then seeing Lydia Ko’s swing and noticing how she is using the A-swing.
Charley Hoffman Duffs Drive at Valero Texas Open
Even the pros hit a bad shot once in awhile, as Charley Hoffman proves with this terrible tee shot that would embarrass a golfer of any level.
There’s something you don’t see every day. #QuickHits https://t.co/QtnFLckIqI

Sorry Charley.
