The best local swing not in the Shell Houston Open

The best golf swing in Houston not playing in this week’s Shell Houston Open belongs to longtime Houstonian Steve Elkington, one of the owners of the interesting golf website, Secret in the Dirt. I haven’t heard why Elk isn’t playing this week, which would have been his 25th Houston Open (I do know he was injured earlier in the season). But it’s Houston golf fans’ loss that we won’t be able to watch this syrupy smooth swing in action this week. Enjoy.

Plane Truth for the golf swing

Houstonian Jim Hardy is one of the one of the best teachers of the golf swing in the world. These days, Jim dedicates a substantial amount of his time to instructing other golf pros from around the world on how to teach the golf swing.
On a chilly November afternoon a couple of weeks ago, my buddy Jerry Sagehorn and I participated in one of Jim’s teaching seminars at Houston’s Blackhorse Golf Club in which Jim assisted teaching pros from around the world in analyzing our swings and giving us instruction on how to improve. Here is a video of the concluding part of our sessions in which Jim identifies the key flaws in our swings and instructs us on how to correct them. The video is an example of a master teacher at work.
Enjoy!

Meet Gareth Maybin

Gareth Maybin may not be as well known a professional golfer as his fellow Northern Ireland mates Rory McIlroy, Graeme McDowell and Padraig Harrington.

But he takes a back seat to none of them in terms of athletic ability.
