Results from the 2011 RE/MAX World Long Drive Championships are in! I’m pleased to say that I did well at the tournament. I didn’t bring home the trophy this year, but I made it all the way to the quarter finals (the top 8 hitters) before finally getting knocked out. I was happy with the ...…
I certainly had that "edgy nervousness" standing on the tee for my first set. But as the announcer gave us the signal and I approached the ball I was thinking to myself "This is IT. This is the battle. And I LOVE it!"…
As I write this a few hours before tee time I'm going through my strategy and visualizing my routine and my shots.…
In this video I spent some time with Leith Anderson and Dave Balbi on their radar system comparing clubs. It's amazing how much data you can now get about your club performance. …
next week at the World Long Drive Championships I'll be up against the best of the best, and I'll have to be at my very best to prevail. I'll take any edge I can get. And I'll let you know how it goes.…

Just a few days left before the competition. I’ve been doing a bunch of last minute equipment testing. John Greenwood added another little shaft tweak to the ultralight shaft I’m going to be using that added a little stability but also gave me what looked like another 5-10 yards. That’s a mile in long drive! ...…

All golf club shafts are not created equal. Even identical-looking shafts from the same company, with the same frequency and flex specification, can vary significantly in performance. Here's an interview with shaft company House of Forged founder Robert Kent.…
In this video we take a quick look inside a club building shop and watch as we drill out the remains of the shaft in the old head and prep a new shaft. Club building is an art as much as it is a science.…
Earlier last week I was able to get in to see the orthopedic doctor to have him look at my left shoulder. He was kind enough to allow me to video the part where we talked about his preliminary diagnosis of the soreness in my left shoulder and possible rotator cuff damage.…
Come along with me as I travel to Mesquite, NV to compete in the Regional Long Drive Championship. I hit my best ball of the day - 385 yards - and wound up on top! Exceeded my own expectations. I can't tell you how exciting it was to get back in the winner's circle, and to earn my spot at the Worlds!…
I’m staying with my low energy swings to protect my shoulder and make sure it doesn’t get any worse. That means it is a good time to work on fundamentals. As I was practicing the other day I kept trying to understand why it felt difficult to make my normal turn. What I discovered was ...…
Well, I mentioned that this journey wouldn’t be without its trials and tribulations. A couple of days ago I did a long drive clinic and exhibition for one of my corporate clients. It was fun and everybody had a good time, but I was hitting uphill, into the wind all day for groups as they ...…
As I continue my journey to the World Long Drive Championships I’ll share some of the little tips and tricks I’ve learned along the way that help me compete better. This post is a little ninja trick I learned to help me understand how well I am making contact in the center of the club ...…
