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
Before the modern game of golf evolved into fairways, flags, and formal scoring, players simply hit balls toward targets across big grassy fields. The concept of a “hole” came later, giving us a way to keep score and shaping the layout of what we now call a course. When IContinue Reading
By Robin All, Life Member – PGA of America This week, I’m not going to tell you what you should do—but what you should stop doing! Take a look at that picture of the young golfer with great form. That kind of posture and balance only comes from hours andContinue Reading
By Robin All, PGA Life Member When’s the last time you practiced a bunker shot—or tried that high, soft flop over the trap to a tight pin? Maybe never. But somehow, we still expect to post a low score! Let’s face it: bunkers are designed to penalize you for missingContinue Reading
By Robin All, PGA Life Member If you’re a left-handed golfer, take time to analyze your swing from multiple angles! Ask a friend to video your swing using your iPhone — face-on, down-the-line, and even overhead if possible. Compare these videos to slow-motion swings from pros you see on TVContinue Reading
By Robin All, PGA Life Member If you’re looking for a consistent short game shot with minimal risk, the Chip and Run is a great go-to for senior golfers. This shot is easy on the body and highly reliable when executed with proper fundamentals. Here’s how to keep it simpleContinue Reading
By Robin All, PGA Life Member I watched every shot of the final round of the U.S. Open at Oakmont last Sunday, and let me tell you—it was a whole different beast than the Oakmont I played in the 1960s. At over 7,200 yards, with 5-inch rough, tight fairways, relentlessContinue Reading
By Robin All, PGA Life Member Commonly referred to as the “wind-up,” the proper golf swing sequence begins with a full hip turn, a shift in weight, and a shoulder turn that allows the extended arms to swing freely. As the wrists hinge, the clubface sets naturally into the correctContinue Reading
By Robin All How many buckets of balls do you hit each week at the driving range? If you’re like many golfers, you probably spend most of that time swinging away with your favorite club—likely your driver. But what if you could get more out of your practice sessions withoutContinue Reading
By Robin All I spent a lot of time watching the final two rounds at Quail Hollow Golf Club in Charlotte this past weekend. Having played tournaments there years ago, I wanted to see how the course would hold up against today’s top players and modern, high-tech equipment. What struckContinue Reading
By Robin All This week’s photo provides several great checkpoints to help evaluate your swing—especially if you’ve been snapping phone pictures or videos of your form. (If you haven’t started yet, give it a try! Seeing your own swing is the first step to identifying areas for improvement.) One ofContinue Reading
By Robin All The Master’s is here and signaling the start of golf season in South Carolina. Some of us have braved the inclement weather and gotten in a few rounds to knock the rust off after the winter holiday break. The phone has been ringing; golf practice and lessonsContinue Reading
By Robin All If you’re happy with your current set of irons and aren’t looking to upgrade, now is the perfect time to check the lie angle and make any necessary adjustments. Over time, club heads can shift due to regular use—especially if you’ve accidentally hit a root, rock, orContinue Reading
The waggle is more than just a pre-swing habit—it’s a valuable tool for improving your golf game! Think of it as a preview of your swing, helping to set the correct motion before you take your shot. Here’s why the waggle matters: Traces the backswing arc – It mimics theContinue Reading
By Robin All It’s 2025, and I’ve hit a milestone: 85 years young and still going strong! While I’m not sure what level that puts me at in the world of senior golfers—maybe just “old”—I’m proud to still enjoy the game I love. As the cold weather sets in andContinue Reading
