stirring up controversy on the golf course

Golf Tips: #1 The Vital Art of Spin

“I want to talk to you about spin. Because, as we all know, spin gets the ball rolling, it keeps it up in the air and it brings things to a halt when we want it. I should add a word of caution here. I hear some so-called golf tips and pro golf coaches saying that certain players are putting too much spin on the ball, that they must learn “to take a bit off”. What rubbish!”

Golf Tips: #1 You can never have too much spin!

“Let me give you some real golf tips my friend – I’ve made an entire career out of spin and I’m telling you that you can never have too much of it! Even off the course, spin can always be working for you. If you’ve ever felt embarrassed to discuss your round in the 19th after shooting 103, just think spin! By the time you’ve thrown in a few “the wind got up on my backswing”, “it was straight into the sun”, “I’m trying out some new clubs and I’m not used to them”, “the four ahead were so slow we couldn’t concentrate” and “it’s about time they cut the fairways, I couldn’t get a clean lie”, you’ll have everyone believing you’re off scratch!

Golf  Tips: #1 Spin is your friend!

So remember golf tips seekers everywhere, spin is your friend and spin will see you through if you work at it!”
