If you need a good golf lesson, it pays to hire a pro.
Tuesday, January 12th, 2010A few years ago, I was able to receive a professional golf lesson from a very gifted instructor. In only one short lesson he was able to transform my game substantially, and I became a better golfer instantly. He showed me some things about my grip in my putting game, and helped me learn swing follow through. I took the drills he taught me that day and I used them to make me a much better golfer. I still use these drills every time I practice, and they help me keep my game In line. Even a single professional golf lesson can help you build a better foundation and change your game.

Simply put, appropriate golf swing instruction could improve your swing dramatically. After all, who wouldn’t want to add ten to twenty yards distance or a greater percentage of fairway accuracy?

Ben Hogan
Tuesday, November 24th, 2009Ben Hogan was one of golf’s greatest athlete’s ever and had a golf swing that to this day has a tremendous effect on golf swing theory. Hogan’s swing and ball-striking ability were legendary and his gift remains renowned among golfers and aficionados.
Hogan, born on August 13, 1912 in Stephenville, Texas, turned pro in 1930 and remained active until retiring in 1971. Hogan was born within six months of the two men that he would help shape the game of golf in America with, Byron Nelson and Sam Snead.
Hogan is fourth all time with 64 PGA Tour victories and his nine major championship victories leaves him tied for fourth place all time with Gary Player. With a victory at the 1953 British Open, Hogan became just the second player to ever complete the modern slam.
