The Flop Shot – How to Hit It

It was about three or four years ago. I would be playing my normal golf game, sometimes hitting greens sometimes not. I like to be rather aggressive on approach so, naturally, I would end up in some bad positions. Short sided on the other side of bunkers, water between myself and the pin, sides ofContinue reading “The Flop Shot – How to Hit It”

Torrey Pines Review!

I’m back from a week in Southern California and the South Course was everything I had hoped it would be. It was beautifully kept, but also incredibly challenging and even more so given the conditions.
