Have recently discovered your channel and I am enjoying it very much. Up here in Ontario Canada the off season is long and any indoor tips are much appreciated. I have access to a sim at least weekly and I am determined to improve for next year. Currently I am a 9 index aiming to get to at least 7 next season, I have uploaded the Tour Tempo App and ordered a Rypstick and Radar and I'm excited to see the results. Thanks again for the great content. Cheers, Paul

Excellent tips Michael. It's Winter in Boston as you know, but I WILL work on swinging 100 times daily, weight training, mobility program that my friend Michael Sassarossi created for me and will read your book again. Just purchased the grip you recommended. I already have a speed stick and will use that as well.
Thank you, I appreciate you and your encouragement. - Woody

Lemme repeat back what you said to make sure I understand correctly: “buy a new driver.” Yes?

Why do you say the Rypstick is the best speed trainer? And better than The Stack?

Breaking 80 is easy:
1. Hit your driver straight, 250 yds minimum, never get in trouble spots.
2. Hit your approach shots into the green, stay out of trouble. Avoid bunkers.
3. If you really have to pitch/chip, get the ball close - within 6 feet or so.
4. Learn to lag putt (when necessary) and to sink putts reliably (90+%) within 4 feet.
5. Never ever ever miss a short putt.
