The Creator Classic Needs Some Tweaking

I’m a huge fan of the Creator Classic concept.

After the first edition last August, I wrote about the success of that experiment. The PGA Tour’s first meaningful investment in YouTube golf brought impressive viewership numbers and gave golf fans a reason to watch on the Wednesday before the pros played in the real tournament.

The phrase “grow the game” is so overused that it has become a joke. But ideas like this do help golf in a very tangible way.

You could see that at TPC Sawgrass this week for take two of the expanded Creator Classic as YouTube golf superstar Grant Horvat defeated No Laying Up’s Chris Solomon and George Bryan in a playoff at the famed island green (which is really a peninsula, but I digress).

Here are the results if you are interested. The creators played eight holes (from the tips!) with the top three players getting into a one-hole playoff.

Why Am I Chunking My Wedge Shots? 5 Simple Fixes

For the moment, let’s forget what a chunked wedge shot does to your score. Let’s talk about what it does to your ego. It’s brutal. Chunking a wedge feels frustrating and demoralizing, especially when these shots are supposed to be simple. Here’s the good news: with a few small adjustments, you can identify the cause of why you are chunking wedge shots and how to fix it.

Focus on the correct point of contact

Where are you trying to make contact with the ball when you have a wedge in your hand? Many amateur players attempt to scoop the ball or help it into the air which often causes the club to bottom out behind the ball.

The fix is to think, “ball first, divot after.” Picture your club making contact with the ball and then brushing the turf just in front of it.

One great drill is to put a towel a few inches behind the golf ball. Don’t hit the towel before the ball. It’s not a bad visual to have when you head out on the course for your next round.

The upper and lower body have to work together

Even on shorter wedge shots, your upper and lower body must work together. If this isn’t happening, you’ll likely feel the club get stuck and strike the ground behind the ball.

We Tried It: FootJoy Fuel BOA Women’s Shoes

FootJoy Fuel BOA Women's Shoes

What We Like

Exceptional stability Premium materials and comfort Waterproof

What We Don't Like

It takes some time to get used to tightening it just right Limited color options

The Bottom Line

The FootJoy Fuel BOA Women’s golf shoes are the first pair I’ve tried with the BOA Fit System, and I liked their stability and ease of use. While they’re a bit bulkier than I expected, that added structure likely contributes to the support they provide throughout the swing.
