Tomasi, Keiser University College of Golf Senior Faculty and Director of Research When your ball stops against the first cut of rough just off the green, you’re denied clean contact with the ball due to the intervening grass.

by Dr. T. J. Tomasi, Keiser University College of Golf Senior Faculty and Director of Research In my world, the best swing mechanics are “lets” rather than “makes.” The reason is that the swing is so fast golfers don’t have time to make conscious adjustments, so the most efficient swing occurs when you recruit your…
by Dr. T. J. Tomasi, Keiser University College of Golf Senior Faculty and Director of Research In the early stages of learning golf, don’t try for the perfection of the parts of the swing such as grip, weight shift, or release – initial learning is more like hand grenades than horseshoes where all you need…
