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. If you’re ready learn how to smash a golf ball every time, the link is in the next post!

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

What if the secret to hitting your driver straighter is actually LESS rotation? I’ve been exploring different ways to tame my driver, and one of the best results I’m seeing comes from keeping my trail foot planted through impact. Years ago, I made a video about Ben Hogan’s A-Frame swing, and I’ve found myself coming back to some of those same principles. By keeping my trail foot down longer, I limit how much my lower body can rotate through impact—and for me, that makes the motion feel simpler, more controlled, and much more repeatable. Sometimes the search for a better swing takes you right back to ideas you explored years ago. Follow along for more of my swing evolution, and go to to learn more about my instruction.

Ben Hogan discovered a secret to eliminating the hook, and it started with his grip. Throughout his career, Hogan gradually weakened his grip. His goal was simple: he wanted to be able to roll the clubface as hard as he could through impact without worrying about hooking the ball. Here’s where it gets interesting. When you experiment with a weaker grip, you’ll discover that you can reach the end range of motion in your wrists and forearms without excessively closing the clubface. I’m a big believer in finding the natural limits of motion in your joints and sockets. Those limits act almost like a built-in governor, giving you a reliable stopping point and the confidence that something bad isn’t going to happen. And that’s the real secret. You have to be willing to really go for it! When you trust those limits, you can release the club aggressively instead of steering it through impact. That’s a tremendously liberating feeling, and it’s one of the reasons I love studying the great Ben Hogan.

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!

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 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.

I’ve always admired Lee Trevino’s repeatable golf swing. The man could hit it the same way over and over again — under pressure, in the wind, anywhere. Recently, I realized he was doing something Gary Player once told me to do: tie that upper left arm into the chest, just like Hogan. These legends didn’t swing like today’s players. They had their own genius — rooted in connection, rhythm, and precision. There’s so much to learn from the greats if we slow down and study what really made them consistent. If you’d like to learn how to build your own classic, repeatable swing, join me at one of my upcoming golf schools: 📍 Dallas – November 8 📍 Pasadena – December 6 & 7 For details or personal coaching, email me at [email protected]

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?

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.

Bruce Lietzke proved that you don’t have to swing like everyone else to play world-class golf. He led the PGA Tour in total driving an incredible nine times, ranked among the best in Greens in Regulation, and was famously one of the Tour’s least enthusiastic practicers! I believe much of his consistency came from his reliable, over-the-top golf swing. It repeated under pressure, produced exceptional ball striking, and allowed him to trust his motion without spending endless hours on the range. That’s one of the biggest lessons I’ve learned from studying the great classic swingers: a repeatable OTT swing will always outperform a complicated one. If you’d like to learn why this motion has worked for players like Bruce Lietzke and how you can incorporate these principles into your own game, join me for my FREE Classic Golf Swing Webinar this Tuesday at 7:00 PM CT. I’ll share a registration link in the first comment!

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.

🎬 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]
