After just slipping into the field at the U.S. Open last month, Sergio Garcia will not be as fortunate for the Open Championship later this month at Royal Troon. Garcia played Open Championship Final Qualifying for the second year in a row. After coming up short last year, the LIV Golf star again missed on Tuesday at West Lancashire Golf Club, posting a 71-70 for a 36-hole total of three under to miss nabbing one of four available spots by two strokes.

‘You’re always right’: Sergio Garcia scolds officials in failed Open qualifying attempt

If you’re hitting the ball right, Butch Harmon says, try to hit it left. “I’m a great believer — and I learned this from my dad — in opposites,” he said. Harmon, a GOLF Top 100 Teachers hall of famer, was talking on a recently recorded episode of A New Breed of Golf on SiriusXM, and the subject was a much-discussed one: How to fix a slice. After his initial opposites thought, Harmon dove into what that looks like.

Aaron Rai is clearly unique when it comes to his equipment setup. Eagle-eyed gearheads can pick out his 2019 TaylorMade M6 driver he’s using around Detroit Golf Club, but most fans see the 54-hole co-leader at this week’s Rocket Mortgage Classic as the “guy who wears two gloves” no matter what the weather.

Sequencing is a key element of a high-level swing. If you can learn to sequence your swing correctly, you’ll be well on your way to consistent strikes and efficient power. So, what exactly is sequencing? In simple terms, it’s the way in which each component of your body moves during the swing. When you make a swing, the different parts of your body (hips, torso, arms, etc.) move at different times. But in order to swing efficiently, it’s essential they move in the correct order.

Improve your sequencing (and add clubhead speed!) with this drill

The Rules of Golf are tricky! Thankfully, we’ve got the guru. Our Rules Guy knows the book front to back. Got a question? He’s got all the answers. During a lesson, the instructor said I should add a piece of tape to my irons with the average distance I hit that particular club. I now also use tape below the grip of my putter to align my hands. Are either of these tape jobs legal? —John Fogarty, Troy, NY.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now.
