Time wasting is an issue in a round of golf. 8 ways to ruin the pace of play.

As a former membership director, I have always heard about how much more expensive country club golf is than public golf. I agree. I grew up playing public course golf, and it’s much easier to keep pricing in check than it is when dues assessments are coming your way at a private country club. However,…

Golf changes all the time. The core of the game has been the same for hundreds of years, but the culture seems to continually mold, adapt, and change. That’s why we see some differences in millennial and boomer golfers. Some of these are funny nuances, and of course, they can’t be applied to the whole…

Divorce and new babies heading into the PGA Championship- how is this going to play into the results.

I’ll never forget my first eagle. It was a par 5 that was playing a little short that day, and I took full advantage of it. As a golf professional, I’ve since had a few more eagles, the most notable, of course, being on a par 3. Whether you are still on the hunt for…

As a former golf teaching professional, I had to adjust my expectations of a good drive based on the player I was working with. The average driver distance for most amateur golfers is likely shorter than you think. People love to say they hit their driver 250, but unless you have a good amount of…

To be a golfer, you have to play like one, look like one, and even talk like one. Amateur golfers seem to have their own language, one that golf pros can’t relate to all that well. How many of these are you using during your golf rounds? Do you sound like a pro? 10 common things…

Years ago, the color of golf balls was a novelty. Today, things have changed, and golf ball color is viewed as more of a technological advancement than a novelty. In fact, some golfers swear by playing with yellow or green balls and are fully convinced that it has helped their game. If you are tired of white golf balls or simply want…

I’ve tested dozens of golf balls on the course, and I can tell you that the right golf ball is all about finding a match for your game. Sometimes, the perfect golf ball is one that you would not expect, but it provides more distance and better spin rates than any other ball on the…

There’s lots of talk about dads getting time out on the golf course with their kids. Introducing them to the sport, teaching the etiquette, and letting them ride along in the cart for a quick nine. Here’s the thing: this privilege (and it is a privilege) is not reserved for the dads. As a mom who plays golf with her kids…

Golf greens change speed. Even if you play the same golf course week after week, you’ll need to adjust to the green speeds that day. As a golf professional who played competitively for years, I was frustrated when it took 7 to 8 holes to get a real feel for the greens. I started using these 5…

As a golf professional who was also a former membership director, I’ve seen people make bad golf membership decisions in the past. Joining a country club goes well beyond the initiation fee costs or how nice the locker room may be. I’ll dive into 9 questions you should ask yourself before joining. If you can confidently answer these questions, you’ll enjoy…

Softer golf balls are considered better for players with lower swing speed. Faster swing speeds do well with the hard golf balls. Although this is considered generally accepted information, is it actually correct? With the help of launch monitor data, enough testing has been done to help us understand the soft vs. hard golf ball dilemma and determine who should really be playing with each.  If…

If adding 10 yards to drive seems like a massive project, you may want to think again. I recently added some distance to my driver, and even after 30 years in the game and playing at the professional level, there are still tweaks I can make to add distance. I’ll go through these 6 pro…

Have you ever considered how the golf courses you play impact your score? Although it would be hard to get an exact number for the average handicap at country clubs vs. public courses, there would likely be some differences. As a former golf professional and teaching pro, I’ve been very lucky to play and belong…

As I watched Scottie Scheffler grab his second green jacket, I couldn’t help but notice how many golfers were under par. I’ve played golf for about 30 years and have seen every Masters along the way. I remembered when hanging on to par was enough to do it.  Not anymore.  The average golf score of…

Some golf courses use the color of the golf flag to help you identify the position of the hole. Traditionally, the white flag is for the center of the green, the blue flag for the back, and the red flag to indicate that the flag is up front. However, the color of the flag is…

As a former golf teaching professional, I’ve always kept an eye on private lessons and their cost through the years. Some costs have gone up (hasn’t everything?), but there are still ways to get affordable golf training. I’ll break down exactly how much golf lessons cost and whether or not private golf lessons are a…

I love a good scramble. As a golf professional, I think it’s so much fun to bring the team element into the game and let golfers of all levels play together. In fact, my husband, myself and the kids will play scrambles sometimes and everyone loves it. I’ve heard golf shamble vs. scramble format referred…

I try to play with urethane balls because I feel like they give me better control in the short game. However, surlyn balls are a lot cheaper and hold up better. I’ve tested some recently, like the TaylorMade Distance+ and Titleist DT Tru Soft, that actually felt good and made me want to do a…

Growing up on Long Island, I couldn’t wait for those first few days of spring weather to get out on the golf course. Anything was better than hitting shots into the net in the garage. However, that first month or so of golf was always kind of a mess. The course is soaked, there is…

I’ve been playing golf since I was 7 and have heard my fare share of golf puns through the years. I’ll be honest, some of these are much funnier than others. I’m not a huge fan of the overused puns although I’ll admit I have a few on my list. If you want to give…

Have you ever finished a round of golf and wondered, was that a good golf score? As a golf teaching professional and scratch golfer, I’ll warn you that my idea of a good golf score and yours may be slightly different. Let’s face it: this subject is one that we could debate quite a bit….

For most of us, golf is such a fun part of our week that it’s hard to think about what can get in the way of a great round of golf. One of those things is, without a doubt, the wrong golfer in your foursome. We’ve all been there, and there are, without a doubt,…

When I play golf with my 7 and 10-year-old, they LOVE it when their golf ball rolls into the first cut of rough. When they have a tight lie on the fairway, they struggle sometimes to hit a solid shot. Why is this? What is a tight lie in golf? How do you play from…

As a former golf professional, I still play a lot of golf. My average golf score is par. However, having taught hundreds, if not thousands of golfers, to play the game of golf, I can tell you that the average score for 18 holes of golf is not par. Whether you are a beginner golfer…
