Bubba Wins the Masters

"I never got this far in my dreams, so it's not a dream-come-true," said Watson, 33, who with his wife Angie adopted a one-month old boy, Caleb, two weeks ago. "It's a blessing. To go home to my new son will be a lot of fun. Golf isn't everything for me. If I would have lost today, it wouldn't have been the end of the world. To win is awesome, but I'll go back to real life next week."

"I still haven't changed a diaper."


How Weight Moves in the Backswing
Most golfers share a misconception about how their weight moves in the golf swing: they believe that weight shifts from the left foot to the right foot during the backswing (for right-handed players). However, in a powerful on-plane swing, weight does not move from side-to-side. If you study today's best tour players, you'll find that they coil their weight upwards on the backswing as with a cyclone or tornado.

Many of my students place too much importance on club position in the golf swing. They overlook how rotation works from ground pressure and moves upward through their bodies. Through a series of drills and swing training techniques that mimic the golf swing, anyone can increase swing speed and stability in order to hit the ball further and with greater consistency.
