Bruce Chaffin went on the blog and made some positive comments about a golf school. So let's see what Bruce had to say.
Jerry wrote in on the blog and basically made a statement. He got a great response from Steve. I'm going to cover both of them.
Got a blog from Krmaddock who says, “How do I drive my tee shot long and straight? The driver is my nemesis. If I could hit the driver straight I would reduce my game to the mid 80's. Please help!”
We have a question from Gene Klefman and it's really good about a number of issues, especially for those of you who have had problems with your spine.
David T had a good question. He said, “The driver and longer clubs are going pretty straight, especially for only having used PPGS since Monday. I usually pull irons, especially shorter ones. I was thinking I was rotating my wrists and not keeping them perpendicular. What do you... more

'I was fit at the driving range out of a fitting cart!' 'I was fit at the local retailer hitting into their net on the simulator!' 'I was fit at a friend's house that asked me how far I hit a 7 iron and measured my wrist!'
The third myth that I would like to dispel is one that most professional club fitters/builders run up against very often. That myth is that if it's not a 'name-brand' that you've heard of, it must not be quality equipment. This couldn't be any further from the truth... more
