The Golf Swing and Traditional Dogma I ask every first-time student to do this “drill” Get into your address position and look to see which shoulder is lower Get into your impact position and look to see which shoulder is lower Get into your top of backswing position and look to see which shoulder is […]
Where Tiger – and YOU – go wrong Concepts about the golf swing have truly never evolved since the time shepherd boys insouciantly swung their crocks and knocked pebbles into holes. Not in any meaningful, scientific manner. So, although Tiger’s coaches have all been smart folks, none of them has ever dared think ‘outside-the-box’ enough […]
TIGER WOODS June ’15 – an ANATOMICAL & BIOMECHANICAL Analysis SIMPLIFIED [By a golf instructor with BS (physics, math); MS (sports science ie anatomy, orthopedic assessment, biomechanics, exercise physiology, exercise testing & prescription, sports nutrition etc.); PhD (biomechanics – student).] Musculoskeletal Anatomy = the study […]
Tiger’s chipping ‘yips’ – Hello Golf World, you need some ‘Anatomy 101’! The whole golf world is commenting on Tiger’s ‘yips’. A word I’d save only for neuro-musculo-skeletal issues.

What will Tiger do next? What he will do next we do not know. What he should do, is first sue Butch Harmon. Then sue Sean Foley. Butch should be held responsible for the exacerbation of his knee injury (see knee injury in the ‘walking the talk’ section of this blog). Sean for his recent […]
Should Tiger be the Favorite for the 2013 Open Championship? You be the judge: Tiger played with pain in his elbow at Merion and will go into the Muirfield Open without having played much competitive golf in between. Can he win, should he be the favorite. YOU be the judge, with an informed opinion. Below […]
Tiger Woods Knee and now Elbow (or is it wrist) Injuries See the post before this one first, please. It is NOT about Tiger. He IS the most supreme athlete in the world, one whom a worthy coach could make into a super-human performer. Worthy meaning one who has at least a basic understanding of […]
The US Open and Tiger Woods One MGSS fan texted, “hey I was looking forward to your comments on the US Open, as I enjoyed your remarks after the Seniors’ Championship so much” So, my friend Tom, my response is, “Tiger did not win”, why would I care about the rest of the field. I’d […]
