Ball Position Blues

From Shane: What are you views on ball position? I have read a lot of your stuff but can’t find anything definitive… What is the correct way – move ball backwards and forwards or move feet and adjust width? My response: Shane, you’re going...

A golfing “blackout”

Lost Farm @ Barnbougle
