I shot 62 — 10 under par — playing a modified scramble called a FIGJAM. The rules are simple: if you like your first shot, play it. If it’s so-so, hit another. You can hit up to 3 shots total, but once you choose to move on, that’s your ball. Padraig Harrington has said he’d play this format as often as he could, and Luke Donald used it on his way to becoming #1 in the world. What surprised me wasn’t the 62. It was what the format did to my confidence. I was playing a new course but instead of getting defensive after a mediocre shot, I had the freedom to try again. Pretty soon I was seeing shots more clearly, committing to them and expecting good results. And here’s the interesting part: a lot of my first shots were perfectly good. Sometimes you need to experience what great golf feels like before you can learn to expect it. My next free compression webinar is Wednesday, August 26th at 7pm CT.

What do you notice about the shape of the elite golf swing over the last 50 years?

Do you prefer a draw or a fade? I’ve always preferred the fade. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve loved seeing the ball move left to right off the tee, and I’ve always felt like my misses with a fade are less dangerous. A draw might give you a little more juice when it hits the fairway, but I’ll gladly trade a few yards for a ball flight I can trust. There’s a reason so many of the best players in the world favor a fade off the tee. And as Ben Hogan famously warned about the hook, it’s like having “a rattlesnake in your pocket.” 🐍 Give me the controlled fade all day. What’s your shot—draw or fade?

As one of the few instructors still teaching the Classic Golf Swing, I’m fascinated by how this beautiful motion has gradually disappeared during my lifetime. Today, most golfers keep both feet firmly planted on the ground throughout the swing. For me, that makes it much harder to make a full turn, develop a natural rhythm, and generate effortless power. The classic swing allowed the greats to move freely, create speed, and play for decades. This Tuesday, June 30th at 7:00 PM CT, I’ll be hosting a FREE Classic Golf Swing Webinar, where I’ll explain why these timeless fundamentals still work today. It’s a fun, interactive presentation with plenty of opportunities to ask questions. I’ll post a link in the first comment! If you’d like to discover a swing that’s powerful, repeatable, and easier on the body, I’d love to see you there!

I enjoy working with elite players just as much as beginners. Here, I’m discussing the concept of covering the ball with a former tour pro. One small adjustment took his pitching wedge from 139 to 151 yards. No matter your skill level, the work is the same. Great impact alignments create great shots. Master the fundamentals, and the distance, consistency, and compression will follow. I’ll be having a free webinar on Sunday evening (July 27th) at 7pm where I’ll be teaching my program that gets insane results from my players. Come join me! I’ll post the details in the first comment.

Good players have a distinct sound when they hit the ball — a solid thump where the ball is struck cleanly just before the club takes a divot. It’s one of the sweetest sounds in golf. To create that sound, you can’t be hanging back. You’ve got to get to your lead side. I like to say, “As you lift, you shift!” If you want to master this move and start compressing the ball like a pro, join me at one of my upcoming golf schools: November 8 – One-Day Masterclass December 6–7 – Weekend Golf School For details or private lessons, email me at [email protected]

I’m constantly going back and forth between a stronger grip and a weaker grip. I definitely feel more powerful with a strong grip, yet players like Jack Nicklaus and Bryson DeChambeau have proven that a weaker grip can produce incredible power. What I do love about a weak grip is that it takes the left side of the course out of play. For many golfers, that alone can be a game changer. If you’re struggling to hit fairways, experiment with a weaker grip. You might be surprised by how solid you’ll hit it. Often times it allows golfers to rotate more aggressively through impact without fearing a hook, which can actually increase clubhead speed.

Danny played college golf and came to me with a timing issue. Turns out his shift had gotten a little lazy, and this pause drill really helped him find his timing and leverage again! Sometimes all it takes is a moment of rhythm and feel to unlock the power you already have. If you’d like to sharpen your swing the classic way, come train with me at Classic Swing Golf Schools — upcoming dates are November 8th and December 6–7 in Dallas. 📧 [email protected] for info and registration.

🎬 New Golf Movie Announcement I’ve just written a new film called Hustlers. It’s the story of a young Texas hotshot known as “Cowboy” Cody Keller, who makes his living hustling unsuspecting players on South Texas munis. When Cody gets taken to the cleaners by a master hustler named Rex, his world changes. Rex takes Cody under his wing and teaches him how the big money hustles really work in Dallas. But once Cody learns the system and goes out on his own, the game turns dangerous. He finds himself deep in trouble with ruthless characters who don’t lose lightly—and want blood. Hustlers isn’t just a movie script—it’s also a novel. My last golf novel, Jack Dagger, debuted at #1 on Amazon in the golf category, and I believe this story has even bigger legs. I’m currently looking for a literary agent and publisher who’d like to help bring Hustlers to life on the page—and eventually, on the screen. If you’d like to be part of golf movie history, email me at [email protected]
