Meet Your Golf Date

If you’re looking for love, here’s an idea: why not find your perfect match during a golf match? Though having the same interests as a future romantic partner isn’t a guarantee for a lasting relationship, it can be a huge help. And if you’re a big golfer, that means looking for love on the links …

Golf Swings vs. Baseball Swings

Summer is here, and for me, that means getting back in touch with my roots and watching more baseball. I made a trip recently to watch the Dodgers play the Diamondbacks, and was happy to see my adopted home team the Dodgers win, eve though I’m still a Red Sox fan at heart. But the …

Playing Golf in A Drought

While folks on the East Coast may still be recovering from that “polar vortex”, we here in California have a massive drought on our hands. This means leaner, and definitely not greener, fairways. Golf courses are notoriously water dependent, and around here, some courses are cutting back on water resources. So, for those of you …

Keep Stats to Find Your Weaknesses

In golf, hitting fairways and greens in regulation is a big deal. Real Joe-pro golfers like to talk “greens in reg.” That means that on a par four you should be on the green in 2 shots — that’s hitting the green in reg. Or getting on in three on a par 5. If you …

Slice Stories: Angry Girl

Nothing like a recurring slice to wreck a nice golf vacation. I was out playing golf on a trip I had taken up the coast with a friend and his high school age daughter, who is a regular golfer. I had never golfed with the two of them together before. I didn’t know what to …

Training Aids: A Chance Encounter

The other day, I was out practicing golf at my local course, using the Pause-N-Throw, as always. Suddenly, I hear a voice behind me: “Excuse me, what’s the name of that training aid you’re using?” “It’s called the Pause-N-Throw.” I went on to show the wrist action that it teaches and my new friend mimicked …

The Weird World of High School Golf

I’ve come across a number of people over the years who played golf in high school. It makes me wonder if I would have been a better golfer if I too had begun at an early age. Maybe so – they say the brain responds more effectively to training at a young age. But then …

Whip Physics

At Pause-N-Throw, we’ve spent a lot of time comparing the Pause-N-Throw swing with the action of a bull whip. The hand action of a pro is like snapping a whip. And that’s why their drives take off like rockets. But what is it that makes this comparison so appropriate? And how does the Pause-N-Throw help …

When is the best time to practice golf?

It seems like there’s never enough time to practice golf. Every time you duff a shot, come up short on a chip, or end up in the drink instead of safely on the green, it’s so easy to get frustrated about your golf game, and blame the fact that you haven’t had time to practice. …
