Forgotten Fundamentals - Alignment Part 1
By: Ben Throckmorton | 08/08/2006 | Sports and Fitness

Is Common Golf Knowledge Ruining your Golf Swing?
By: Ben Throckmorton | 08/08/2006 | Golf
Common Knowledge just might be hindering you from improving your swing, causing you major frustration and higher scores. There is a lot of well meaning golf instruction in the market place today that simply will not help your game; in fact a lot of what's out there will hinder you as you try to improve your golf. The focus of my new site, (http://www.GolfMyths.com), is simply to identify this mis-information and to let players know, not only what the myths are, but why these myths are not true and how they do damage to your golf game.

Forgotten Fundamentals and Why your Grip is Key to a Repeating Golf Swing - Part 2
By: Ben Throckmorton | 30/08/2006 | Golf
One of the most important keys to a repeating golf swing that hits one long, straight shot after another is to have the ability to relax your hands, arms, and shoulders and swing the club back and through impact without tension. With a good grip, this relaxed motion will return the club squarely to the golf ball time after time.... BUT if your grip is bad, it makes it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to deliver the club squarely to the golf ball without consciously or unconsciously some making some sort of in-swing correction.

How do congenitally pronated hips impact the golf swing
By: Don | 10-07-2008
I am an avid golfer who has recently encountered great difficulty attaining the final piece of the modern golf swing, to wit: a movement of the hips away from the ball in the downswing. My question relates to a congenital deformity in my hips, they are quite pronated, giving me a "knock-kneed" appearance. Several Drs. and therapists (I have had a complete left knee replacement) have assured me the appearance is hip related and has nothing to do with my knees. I am wondering how or if this hip situation impacts the golf swing, especially the movment of the hips away from the ball through impact.
