“Golfology” is based on the premise that golf-sense and common-sense do not mix. Unlike most golf how-to books, “Golfology” helps readers to understand and establish the relationship between mind, body, and technique. This “why” approach to golf is unique and breaks the classic “how to” mold that most instruction is based upon.
Each step in examining and remedying your game is coupled with checklists and drills for you to practice in your own space. The Swing Fix Tool Kit is referenced in these drills to help establish better physicality.
Both Golfology and the Swing Fix Tool Kit are available for purchase below.
Includes all the tools needed to fix your swing:
• Ruler
• Hanger
• Sponge
• Tempo Ball
