Have you ever taken a few months off golfing, only to return and find that your swing has never been so pure and effortless? I think we all have. This is because we, as golfers, tend to get in our own way and let a barrage of 'swing tips' and 'swing thoughts' enter our mind when we play regularly. This is called 'paralysis by... More..

Sometimes, they really do come back.Heather and I had chosen him together. I named him "Tiger" after a certain golfer you may have heard of.
