» Scorecard rules require that you and your marker verify that the hole-by-hole scores are accurate and sign the card, and return it promptly after the round. Signing for a lower score on a hole results in disqualification, while signing for a higher score means the higher score stands. Before signing, ensure the score for each individual hole is correct. The card must be signed by both you and your marker to be valid.
Golf's odd club rules explained
Sports, Brett Brasier, Published on 08/10/2025
» Here's a confusing rule that l would like to hopefully make clearer. You're allowed to carry up to fourteen clubs for a round of golf. However, you can have fewer -- just one if you wish. There is no restriction on the type of clubs you carry so long as they conform to the Rules of Golf. For example, you can carry multiple putters, multiple drivers, or some left-handed clubs and some right-handed clubs. If you start a round with fourteen clubs, you are generally limited to those clubs for the rest of the round, even if you lose one. But if you break one you can continue using that damaged club, replace it, or have it repaired, if possible. If you start a round with fewer than fourteen clubs, you can add clubs during the round until you reach fourteen, but you must not delay play in doing so.
How to create a flawless foundation for good swing
Sports, Brett Brasier, Published on 11/06/2025
» In a perfect world, at the top of your backswing, the club should be parallel to the ground and pointing towards the target. Your lead arm should be extended, with your wrists hinging naturally to create a 90-degree angle between the club shaft and your left arm.
Swing smart: Power tips for women
Sports, Brett Brasier, Published on 04/06/2025
» Women's clubs are usually lighter than men's, which helps generate a faster swing. The downside is that women sometimes have a more challenging time making good contact with the ball with these lighter clubs. Regardless of using men's or ladies' clubs when swinging, imagine that the club is heavy in your hands on the downswing to make better contact with the ground and the ball. You'll also generate more clubhead speed and overall carry distance.
Perfect your pivot and master the swing motion

» Working tirelessly on a good setup is an investment for future consistent shots. A good stance to the ball starts a chain reaction of good movements throughout the swing. If you're wrong at the start then required adjustment movements will be required to manipulate the club, or your body, in order to get the club back on track. So, pay particular attention to standing to the ball correctly as this is where good shots start.
Alignment the secret to better swing

» Your knees and hips should be more or less parallel to the line of where you're trying to hit the ball; however, a fade or draw will need a little adjustment. Your shoulders should have the feeling of being a touch open and your right arm the same height as your left or even ever so slightly higher than your left.
This is the secret to stability

» There's a little test you can do to ensure that when you set up over the ball everything is in the right place. See if you can rock backwards and forwards when addressing the ball, if you can, then your weight is correctly distributed. If you can only move your toes, then too much weight is on your heels. The reverse is also true. If you can only lift your heels your weight is too far forward.
Unlock your power with right rotation
Sports, Brett Brasier, Published on 19/02/2025
» In a perfect world here's what happens when we wind up away from the ball. Think of your belly button turning gradually to the right and, in unison, allow your body weight to shift by slightly moving your right heel. This allows for a subtle movement in your hips before they begin to turn. When the hips begin to fully turn your shoulders also start to rotate and your left shoulder moves down and across slightly and at right angles to the axis of your spine.
Fine-tune stance for laser shots

» Slightly adjusting the position of your right foot will change the width of your stance and therefore you'll be able to hit the ball at different points on the arc of your swing. In a perfect world this would mean hitting the ball on a slightly ascending strike with the driver and a slightly descending blow with the irons.
Mastering spine angle: The secret to precision in swing
Sports, Brett Brasier, Published on 05/02/2025
» When setting up try to get the feeling that your hips are positioned so that there is a slight upward tilt in the direction of where you're trying to hit the ball. The feeling is that your left hip should feel that it's slightly higher than your right. Let's think about this for a minute as the overall feeling of your right side being set lower than your left comes because your right hand is positioned below your left on the club.
