ANECDOTE

Mackenzie Hughes Makes the Team

Mackenzie Hughes was selected for the International Team in the President's Cup.
This was a significant personal goal for him, especially as the tournament is held in his home country, Canada.

INSIGHT

Wedge Study Results

A new wedge study revealed that 86% of shots had ground interaction before the ball, even among 8-handicap players.
30% of these shots even had a positive angle of attack, challenging conventional wisdom.

ADVICE

Environmental Constraints

Golfers unconsciously adapt their swing based on the playing surface, affecting ground interaction.
Practice with different club heads and on varied surfaces to improve consistency and avoid laziness.
