Mickelson hires Butch Harmon, 4-in-One Golf Club System review and tempo/balance

Click here to listen.

Butch Harmon, a top golf teaching professional and Phil Mickelson’s new swing coach, helps us (and our listeners) with the short game this week. Although it is reported that Mickelson hired Harmon to help him with his erratic driver after an unimpressive Masters, I’m betting that Lefty will also receive help with his wedges.

We have discussed pre-season exercise routines to get you stretched and ready for the spring season. We have talked about the mental game and how slowing down your breathing and allowing your heart to guide your head can lower your scores. This week, in honor of our first twilight golf game together, we relate the importance of tempo and balance.

The 4-in-One Golf Club System is reviewed this week, an interesting choice for golfers who travel but don’t seem to find the time to practice their short game. Now there is no excuse!
