Do you make a fake backswing turn? It's something we've written about before, and a common mistake that a lot of golfers make. But how do you know if you're faking your backswing turn? For that, PGA Tour winner Michael Kim (who doubles as a fantastic follow on X) shared a great demonstration of what a fake backswing turn looks like.

When the Rules of Golf was updated in 2019, the USGA and R&A aimed to improve it in a manner in which they covered all aspects of the game while being as clear and succinct as possible. Yet, avid golfers like yourself know a lot of things happen on the course that still fall into gray areas. Since you can’t always open the rules app on your phone to figure out how to proceed when something unusual comes up—and you’re not a tour pro with the luxury of calling in rules officials at a moment's notice—now’s as good a time as any to check and see whether you have a firm grasp of what's allowed and what isn't.

Whenever you poke your head into a commercial or hotel gym, don't be surprised if you see someone performing standing exercises on an unstable surface. In short, that is a really bad idea, says Golf Digest Chief Fitness Advisor Ben Shear. There's an old saying in fitness that you can't fire a cannon from a canoe, meaning you can't perform any athletic activity proficiently if your lower body is unstable.

3 super important things to remember when working on stability training

You step up to a wide-open par 5, tee it high, swing as hard as you can and what happens? The ball spins off to the right and flies 30 yards shorter than normal. That’s because when many of us try to increase distance, we don’t understand the moves necessary to crank up clubhead speed.

The science behind swinging faster and holing more putts, according to Dr. Sasho MacKenzie

Bryson DeChambeau is new-school. We all know about his 3D-printed irons, uniform club lengths, deceptive lofts and fitness experiments. The 2024 U.S. Open champ has been at the bleeding edge of professional golf for nearly a decade now. That doesn't mean he doesn't respect the past, however. In fact, DeChambeau is probably a more accomplished golf historian than the majority of his peers.

Horoscope for Saturday, September 7th

A member of Golf Twitter's Mount Rushmore appears to be hanging it up for good. That is, of course, if you believe a man who runs a parody account—a legendary one, mind you—is being truthful when he writes to his following of over 300,000 on Twitter/X that he's "decided to pursue a career outside of golf." If he's being serious, this is a sad, sad day in golf:

We hope (and pray) that this shocking Club Pro Guy announcement is all just an elaborate troll job

Earlier this year, Jim Nantz shared the incredible reason why he has an old public phone hanging on the wall of his office in Pebble Beach. Turns out, the broadcasting legend acquired the actual phone from Giants Stadium that he used to make a life-changing call to then CBS executive Ted Shaker in which he was offered a gig with the network. Classic Nantz.

Is it better to be lucky than good? For most of us mortals, this is an either/or proposition. You can be lucky or you can be good. Pros, however, sometimes don’t have to choose. Just ask DP World Tour pro Richie Ramsay, who got the break of the year...

DP World Tour pro gets break of the year as ball miraculously bounces out of water hazard for birdie opportunity

My club championship was last weekend, and I did not have my best stuff. It was pretty disappointing—I knew going in I wasn't playing my best golf, but I couldn't help hoping something would change. But it didn't. I stumbled into the match play, found a small semblance of good golf, but lost a hard-fought match in the first round. At least the golfer who beat me ended up winning, so there's some pride in that.

Why pros use this five-word phrase to play better golf—even on the bad days

The numbers get you close to a story but are too indifferent to describe a life. From 1997 to 2008, King Oehmig might have been the most successful high school golf coach in America. At his alma mater, Baylor School, a private boarding and day school in Chattanooga, Tenn., Oehmig’s teams won 21 state championships. This included five girls winning 11 individual state championships and three boys bringing home four individual titles. Four of the boys he coached—Luke List, Keith Mitchell, Harris English and Stephen Jaeger—have all won on the PGA Tour and one of the girls, Brooke Pancake Rende, won the girls' state title four years in a row before attending Alabama, winning a team NCAA title and then playing on the LPGA Tour.

They're shaped like a potato and tend to bake in hot weather, biologists say. That's why you will find cheeky little pikas in Colorado's mountains.

Coming into 2024, the Chicago Bears knew that their path to the playoffs would have to go through one of the NFL’s toughest divisions. The Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers went 1-3 against them last year, and both made the playoffs. They also each won at least one playoff game. One can understand if people around the league are skeptical the Bears can navigate past those established contenders to reach their first postseason in half a decade. However, things may have just changed in a drastic way.
