We knew Oakmont would be tough, and it delivered. J.J. Spaun was in the mix from the start, and with a clutch putt on the final hole, he proved he’s the perfect U.S. Open champion. Golfers were folding all around him, and he went out with the clutch birdie.

Every golfer wants to improve their golf game but many aren’t successful. If you can’t improve your golf game, it could be a mix of reasons from your mental approach to your practice routine to your equipment. Take a look at these seven mistakes that might be keeping you stuck.
Some things in golf aren’t set in stone. You can have debates about whether a stronger or a weaker grip is better, for example. However, a lot of golf advice is generic and wrong. Taking lessons and watching videos from trusted sources can help but the best advice is to learn more about the game yourself.
Do some research, experiment on the range, read books and learn what truly controls the ball’s starting direction.
You were fitted for your clubs two years ago but, since then, your swing speed has dropped, you’ve gained mobility or you’ve started hitting a fade instead of a draw. Your clubs haven’t adapted to the change but your swing has. Players change their paths and low points over time so what used to work may now exacerbate problems.
Recheck your lie angle and shaft flex, especially if your miss pattern has changed (e.g., hitting shots thin, pulling everything or losing distance unexpectedly). Small adjustments can make your current clubs fit again.
