Golf has a rulebook thicker than most novels so it’s no surprise that players get rulings wrong from time to time. That’s understandable. However, certain habits should be against the rules. They may not cost anyone penalty strokes but they’re annoying enough that maybe they should.

Golf is supposed to be fair. It’s supposed to be respectful. But it’s not if you’ve got any of these habits.

Taking divots on practice swings

If your practice swing accidentally catches a little turf, it happens. But if you’re the kind of golfer who takes two or three full practice swings that dig up flounder-sized chunks of grass (and then don’t even fill them), you’re part of the problem.

The practice swing doesn’t need a big old chunk of earth to be effective.

While we’re on this topic, if you’re making a practice swing with your driver and taking chunks out of the tee box, you may want to take a lesson.

Ever watch Ben Hogan striping iron after iron with that perfectly controlled ball flight? Or see how effortlessly players like Annika Sorenstam hit those laser-straight 6-irons? There’s something almost magical about how these legends made iron play look so simple.

What did they know that we’ve sometimes forgotten in our modern pursuit of distance and technology?

After three decades of teaching, I have come to deeply appreciate modern technology and utilize it in my own coaching, from the forgiveness of modern iron design to launch monitor data and ground force analysis, which have significantly advanced our understanding. But here’s what I’ve learned from studying the greats and teaching thousands of lessons: sometimes the breakthrough isn’t found in more data or another swing thought. Sometimes it’s a simple feel that the master teachers understood intuitively.

These aren’t revolutionary concepts. They’re the same fundamentals that built every great iron player, from Byron Nelson to Tiger Woods, from Mickey Wright to Jin Young Ko. They often get lost in the complexity of modern instruction—when what golfers really need is one clear thought that transforms their ball-striking.

Hit down to make it go up

This remains the most misunderstood concept I encounter. Your iron’s loft gets the ball airborne—your job is to strike down through the ball with a descending blow. Think of pinching the ball against the turf, taking a divot after impact, not before.

Name a worse feeling than dirtying your brand-new pair of golf shoes.

I’ll wait.

Recently, I took out a crispy white pair of Reebok Nano golf shoes. Rookie mistake playing in white. I returned to my home with my tail tucked between my legs; not because I didn’t play well, but because I wrecked my new pair of shoes.

Now my wife would probably prefer I downsize and just throw them away. But I figured why not try and give them a good ol’ scrubbing? Enter the RESHOEVN8R Signature Shoe Cleaning Kit.

It’s the most comprehensive shoe cleaning kit on the market, and includes everything you need to deep clean your shoes with brushes, soap and the washing machine (this is key for white shoes).

The global market for golf equipment is a vast repository, with as many different brands as wind directions on Augusta’s 12th tee. 

And the situation could be just as confounding.

PING, Titleist, Callaway and TaylorMade dominate the news cycle and every meaningful market share report. But the story doesn’t end there.

Some of us have a penchant for manufacturers whose financial status can only be represented by “other” in any comprehensive market share graphic. In a macro sense, these companies don’t matter – economically speaking.

But for me and anyone who wants to join my merry band of miscreants, these smaller brands serve as a vestige of an industry segment that frankly isn’t interested in a mass market launch or appeasing board members and shareholders. 

If you consume any golf content on Reddit, you may have started to see a pattern. Someone posts a video of their swing, lays out a few misses they’re dealing with and ends with the question:

“So what should I fix first?”

It’s a fair question. However, most of the time, the comments turn into chaos. One person suggests fixing your hip rotation, another says your hands are too high, someone else swears it’s your path and then you’ve got someone yelling “GRIP!” in all caps.

What Reddit usually suggests

Most of the Reddit “what should I fix first?” posts I have reviewed were not incorrect. Many point out legitimate problems but it just gets a little overwhelming.

Some of the most common suggested fixes are:

When it comes to a weekend golf trip, there are some essential accessories I don’t leave the house without. While some can be a dime a dozen, there are a handful that I absolutely have to have with me for every round. From gloves to towels to divot tools, these accessories are essential in my eyes for playing a successful round. Check them out and add a couple. I think you’ll like what you find.

Ghost Golf Magnetic Towel

Ghost Golf’s magnetic towel is one of the best I’ve used. The sublimated camo design doesn’t fade or wear off and the brand’s logo is stitched into the towel, ensuring it won’t flake away like a screen-printed graphic. The magnet makes keeping it within reach easy on the range during a practice session and greenside to tidy up your wedges.

VORTEX CENTER CUT CAMO DIVOT TOOL

I know what you’re thinking, “a specific divot tool? Really?” Yes, really. The center-cut camo divot tool from Vortex just feels different than any I’ve used in the past. High-quality construction. 100 percent zinc so it’ll never rust. A magnetic ball marker that you can swap out with one of many other available options. This accessory is rock solid and I never hit the course without it.

Red Rooster The Scots Silver Golf Glove

I’ve tried a lot of golf gloves over the years and I can confidently say when it comes to fit and performance, Red Rooster is a step ahead for me. The Scots Silver is one of a few colorways I currently have in rotation and it is quickly becoming my favorite. Premium leather and excellent fit highlight these gloves. With a large selection of styles, you’ll find one that fits your needs.

Rokform G-ROK Pro Bluetooth Golf Speaker

I’m a fan of music on the course (no, I don’t blast it so you can hear it two fairways away). It helps to set the vibe for the day when I am playing a casual round with friends and adds another layer of enjoyment to the game. I’ve been using the G-ROK Pro speaker from Rokform this year and it is a standout. Clear sound, great battery life and a rock-solid magnetic mounting system are just a few highlights of this speaker.

When you set up to hit a driver, you’re probably thinking about the middle of the fairway, your takeaway, your follow-through or something related to the shot itself. However, there are mistakes that many players make before they even start their backswing, mistakes that begin with how the driver is positioned at address. From how the club lies on the ground to your grip, tee height and ball position, each detail matters.

Flat versus toe-up: How should the driver sit?

One of the most common setup mistakes is trying to make the sole of the driver sit perfectly flat on the ground. It feels logical that you would want this considering it’s how your irons are set at address. For the driver, a flat sole at address often leads to poor posture, a weak grip and inconsistent strikes.

Nearly every professional golfer sets up with the toe of the driver slightly elevated. This “toe-up” setup creates a more natural arm hang and better body angles. Trying to force the club flat pushes your hands too high, shifts the club into the palm and often opens the face unintentionally.

Hover or rest: Should you ground the driver?

Some golfers, including Jack Nicklaus, prefer to hover the driver just above the turf at address. This eliminates any tension from the club resting on the ground and allows for a free, flowing takeaway. It’s a solid option if you’re confident with your rhythm and grip pressure.

Most golfers rest the driver on the ground behind the ball. If that’s your go-to, there’s one setup mistake to avoid.
