A golf lesson worth mentioning

Dear golfer, Dean came in for a lesson on Thursday. He had told me over the phone that he hadn’t been playing long (about 6 months) and was looking for some guidance. I was assuming that Dean would be a beginner and when he told me that he usually scored between...

The Shuggy Training Aid
