By Robin All Over the last two weeks, we’ve covered both the backswing and the follow-through. But after watching the Ryder Cup, I realized something important—golfers should focus more on developing their core muscles than relying just on their hands and arms. The top players generate power through their lowerContinue Reading
By Robin All Last week we focused on the backswing. Now let’s look at the finish. As we age, flexibility decreases, and with it, distance off the tee. Many players try to generate more turn in the swing but keep their feet planted. The result? Less power and poor direction.Continue Reading
Golf Tips for Seniors: Follow ThroughBy Robin All Last week we focused on the backswing. Now let’s look at the finish. As we age, flexibility decreases, and with it, distance off the tee. Many players try to generate more turn in the swing but keep their feet planted. The result?Continue Reading

By Robin All Over the past few weeks, we’ve focused on putting mechanics. Today, let’s take those same principles and apply them to one of golf’s most reliable short-game shots—the chip and run. This shot can be played with a 6- or 7-iron, or even a lofted fairway wood orContinue Reading

We’ve also reminded you that “never up, never in” is as true as it gets—putts left short never drop. Today’s focus is on one ofContinue Reading
Putting Tips with Robin All, PGA Life Member Last week, we emphasized the importance of striking the ball on the sweet spot (the balance point of the putter face) to improve both direction and distance control. This week, let’s consider the difference—and possible results—between the wrist tap and the shoulderContinue Reading
By Robin All My first experience with putting was finding an old wooden shafted left handed blade putter in the junk pile at the Charleston Municipal Golf Course. If I used it right handed, the back of the head had an angle, that created some loft. So, I could hitContinue Reading
