Swing Advice with Bobby McCrimmon
PGA Certified Instructor
“This is a game of misses, and minimizing those misses.
Arnold Palmer said it best”, “Swing your swing”
“I love this game and teaching all of my students. Periodically, I will write short pieces of advice that can help any golfer at any skill level. The advice may be perfect for you, or it might be something we discuss if/when we start working together. My door is always open to talk about the golf swing and how I can help you minimize your misses.”

August 5, 2025: Pay Attention to Shaft Flex
Shaft flex is a critical part of hitting good shots. Especially with the driver. If you shaft is too stiff, the ball will fall out of the air too quickly and you’ll lose distance. If it’s too flexible, the ball will tend to balloon or curve too much.
