How to play a really hard course
- Knowing that our winner will be facing an uphill battle at Torrey Pines' South Course, we asked Golf Digest 50 Greatest Teacher Dean Reinmuth to provide some tips that every golfer can use to play and conquer the toughest of courses.
Breaking 100/90/80
One Plane vs. Two Plane
- Don't buy into the idea that there's only one way to play golf. If that were true, Jim Furyk and Lee Trevino should give back all the money and trophies they've won. Find the model that suits you, then work on the things that make your kind of swing better. Whether you're trying to break 100 or 80, match these drills from PGA Teacher of the Year, Jim Hardy, to your swing type:
- • Breaking 100: Think of the basic one-plane and two-plane swings as models
- • Breaking 90: Use the set of fundamentals that works for your kind of swing
- • Breaking 80: One-plane: Avoiding snap hooks; Two-plane: Avoiding the push
