Constant updates on new golf tips to improve your golf game! I post any new methods we used to resolve a specific golf swing fault. I'm always searching for a better way to communicate improvements in our student's golf games. As an added bonus we have golf comedy clips from our radio show on ESPN and tips for doing business while on the golf course. Golf is the game of business...start golf networking!

Proof Is In The Pudding...I Mean Putting!
Maybe you haven't heard of Boo Weekly, pro golfer on the PGA tour. Well, he was this past year anyway. He's back at Tour School trying to work his way back to the tour. What's the big deal you ask?
Well Boo happened to be the number player on tour in greens in regulation! Number one! One would think that if you hit the golf ball on the green more often than anybody else out there, you would win a ton of money and endorsements galore! You're rich!
Not so. Boo was number one in greens in regulation but 192 in putting. Still, he hit it better on the rest of the golf course than anyone else? I would still think that would set you up for at least the middle of the pack. No, he lost his tour card, and is now having to gruel it out with all the rookies again, to earn his opportunity to play on tour on a regular basis.
Surely he will still get some sponsor exemptions if he doesn't make it but still, first in greens in regulation! He hit it more consistent than anybody else and gets tossed out.
Moral of the story is, work on your putting. It is literally 50% of the shots on the score card (36 strokes allowed for par). Start with the short putts of six feet and in. Use a short stroke to maintain club face angle. On the long putts, you can use the long flowing stroke. Pace is the issue on long putts.
Bobby Lopez studied the golf swing under some of the most legendary ball strikers of all time – such as Dick Farley, Vince Allen, Chico Miartuz, Bob Toski and Henry Cotton. He's a former European Touring Pro, and a full "Class A" member of the PGA. He was nominated for Golf Magazine’s list of Top 100 Golf Instructors.
Teaching style very unique. Find the glaring problem and prescribe a solution. Treats every golfer for their individual style. Host of the radio golf show on ESPN, "The Bobby Lopez Golf Hour."
