GSfMO#387 June 4, 2013: John “Lag” Erickson returns for a Members Only episode to break down his teaching method of improving your swing from impact backwards. We also discuss why bifurcation should be in place so that the USGA and the Tour have different rules. John feels very strongly that it all started going downhill when they allowed metal clubs instead of woods. We get into a deeper conversation about why he thinks everyone would play much better if they knew how to hit with persimmon woods. Strategy is also a very important topic when we discuss how to play better and lower your scores. Once you learn how to hit straight and become a better ball striker, then strategy, or course management, becomes critically important.
