President’s Day… Obama vs. Trump
Regardless of which way you lean politically, I’m betting that if you’re reading this, you enjoy golf and will hopefully enjoy this look at our most recent presidents and their golf swings.

Get your club right… on the Take Away
It always blows my mind at how many people I teach don’t know what a square clubface is. I see all sorts of explanations and ideas, but rarely, is it correct. Check out the video below to learn and see if your clubface is in the right spot.
