Making a List, Checking It Twice
The holidays are approaching, and that makes me nervous. There seems to be one common theme that dominates this time of year - food. Studies show that almost all Americans gain weight between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day. All year, I work hard to manage my weight and exercise regularly, and I'd hate to see my discipline go down the drain. More »

Micro Move of Tiger's Release
Rated 5.0 Stars
The Tiger impact position is part of a total release move that consists of several key micro moves. Earlier articles pointed out left wrist supination and flexion (bowing), but I left out an extremely important micro move; ulnar deviation (UD). More »

Garudasana
The garuda is a mythical bird and the pose resembles the shape of this eagle-like creature. In the previous two columns, we presented first the arm position, followed by the leg position. Practice of the first stage brings freedom to the shoulders, arms and wrists. The second stage creates strength and suppleness in the ankles and hips. This final stage requires balance and determination and brings physical, mental and emotional stability. More »

Hawaii Kids Weigh In
Kanoa, age 5, starts his day with a bowl of sugary cereal. At school, he sits quietly at his desk until recess, when he whips out his new video game. After school, tired and hungry, he plops on the couch, snacking on potato chips while watching TV. More »

SpeedLearning: The New Paradigm for Skill AND Speed Development
Rated 5.0 Stars
In my formative years as a golf instructor I learned many facets of teaching that influenced me in one way or another. I've kept what worked and what didn't work was tossed aside. It was a perfectly logical and pragmatic approach to learning my trade. More »

Telemedicine and Telehealth in Hawaii
A 76-year-old woman living in rural Ka'u on the Big Island suffers from congestive heart failure and severe arthritis. She needs to see her physician, but lives several hours from the nearest clinic. Thanks to telemedicine, the doctor comes to her in a virtual house call, via a videoconferencing device in the woman's home that lets her speak with, and be seen by, her physician. More »

After Roddick, Who's Next? (Part 2)
Rated 4.0 Stars
This month, let's begin exploring the reasons that may explain why there's a 20 to 30 MPH difference in serve speed that separates the Top ATP pros from today's US college and junior players. But before we get into that discussion, I think it's appropriate to discuss a recent development in the pro game. More »

Secret to Squaring Your Clubface
Rated 5.0 Stars
As we have seen in my previous article, the majority of golfers suffer from flipping, chicken winging and/or casting. I laid out the movements through the impact zone to try to help everyone understand how to get a great impact like Tiger Woods. But I think I skipped a step so I'll backtrack and show you where we have to fix some errors before we can obtain a better impact. More »

Tiger's Impact and Beyond
Rated 5.0 Stars
When I wrote a column about Tiger's impact, I think it was just half the story. Just as important as it is to get to impact in a great position, there is a need to continue to drive your way through impact so that you can hit it both far and straight. More »

Michelle's Dilemma
Rated 5.0 Stars
While the media and most fans have quickly forgotten Michelle Wie and have moved on to adoring Tadd Fujikawa, let's not do that just yet. There's something we can learn from her situation and maybe there's something for Tadd to learn as well. More »
