Your short game pivot is so important not only in how you deliver the club to the ball but also the position you find yourself in to do so as simply as possible. Correcting the tilts and rotations in his body put him right where he needed to be 👊🏻 #wedgematrix #shortgame #ping

The fundamental question around short game should be, “what will give ME the highest level of control over my golf ball” I’m now in a position where I can utilise the smartest minds and best equipment at PING in order to improve my knowledge and coaching and plan to do so!

In how many sports do players not get paid if they don't perform well enough? I guess those that still pay are non competitive too 🤷‍♂️ WGC's have never had cuts (besides the matchplay), exhibition golf? There are far better arguments against LIV than this one 🙄

Ever think about the best strategy when you're playing in the wet? Recently did some wet vs dry testing with different clubs and figured a few things out, you might be surprised by the results! Check it out on YouTube tonight from 7pm UK.

You’re doing 2021 wrong Eddie, you either agree with everything on one side of things or disagree with everything. Rumour has it that nuance is being removed from the 2022 dictionary as we speak.
