Golf. It sucks the life right out of you, yet many of us keep going back for more punishment over and over again. I honestly don’t know why we do it, but we do.

As Tripp and Tyler astutely point out, “The vast majority of us suck at golf, yet for some reason we subject ourselves to the same rules as professionals.” Which, as they also state, “is silly.”

So to make life better for the average non-pro golfer they have come up with a new set of golf rules perfect for the average duffer.

According to Tripp and Tyler’s awesome new golf rules for non-professionals…

— You get one mulligan for every dollar spent on greens fees.
— You also get one do-over for every dollar spent on greens fees as well.
— When you hit your ball into the woods you no longer have to find your ball. You just need to find “a ball.”

You can also do this…

They also have new rules for sand traps, water hazards, course etiquette, the fairway and more.


Yep, golf just got a whole lot more and a whole lot more fun!

Learn to Control Your Driver and Keep the Ball in Play



Here is a wonderful video on learning a quick and simple way to keep your driver in play.  It actually applies to every club in your bag, but I find it easier to learn by starting with the driver.

The most important key to this is taking practice swings.  You need to swing without the ball until you are comfortable taking a full swing at various speeds.

Take the practice swing and then hold the finish long enough to remember what it felt like.  Remember the feeling of being balanced and controlling speed.  Then just repeat that feeling.

Just remember that it is not a three-quarter swing - it is a full swing at three-quarter speed.

You will find out that when you start to relax and slow the club down you will start to make very solid contact.


The importance of this was taught to me by the legendary Mickey Wright.  How far I can hit a club and how far I should hit it are two different things.

The video only takes a couple of minutes and will be well worth your time.  It and several more are posted on my YouTube Channel.

Jason Day has credited his recent success to a growing friendship with golf great Tiger Woods.

Day claimed his first major championship title last month and, after winning three of his last four starts, he has a chance to become number one in the world for the first time at this weekend's Deutsche Bank Championship.

"It's just random things," Day told reporters. "We'll be talking about finishing on Sundays and the process of stuff. His text messages, I have to digest them a little bit more, because he is very smart. And he has to kind of dumb it down to my level.

"We talk about family every now and then, but it's mainly just golf, just trying to shoot to get better. If I think of a question, I'll just shoot it to him. I may hear it that day or I may hear in a day or two.

"He's been arguably one of the best players of all time. Who wouldn't want that mentorship from a player like that, especially on the golf course? To be able to receive text messages and ask him questions and him being so open toward me has been fantastic."

Zimbabwe's Brendon de Jonge is currently holding a first round lead in the Deutsche Bank Championship, with Day three shots off the lead.
