In this week’s YouTube video we have a special guest joining us for 9 holes, golf social media sensation – Grant Horvat.

In last week’s video we said Grant has the best swing on YouTube, so it was only fair that we put him to the test by challenging him to join us by playing 9 holes in only 29 shots, Texas Scramble style.

The match was incredible, and some unbelievable golf was played. Do you think we managed it? Check out the video linked below to find out.

3 of Rickie Fowler’s awesome chipping tips you NEED to try https://meandmygolf.com/golf-tips/professional-golf/3-of-rickie-fowlers-awesome-chipping-tips-you-need-to-try/ https://meandmygolf.com/golf-tips/professional-golf/3-of-rickie-fowlers-awesome-chipping-tips-you-need-to-try/#respond Thu, 13 Apr 2023 13:38:11 +0000 https://meandmygolf.com/?p=1355001 In this week’s YouTube video we had the pleasure of catching up with 5 time PGA Tour winner Rickie Fowler.

In this week’s YouTube video we had the pleasure of catching up with 5 time PGA Tour winner Rickie Fowler.

We challenged him to an up and down short game competition, and took the opportunity to find out what he’s thinking when he stands over a challenging chip shot.

So today we’re passing on his tips and tricks when it comes to chipping.

1. Choose your landing zone, and play to that. Rickie rightly points out that too often golfers become obsessed with looking at the chip shot as a whole, and because of this they can easily get sucked into thinking they have to chip the ball all the way to the hole.

Choose your landing zone, and use the club that’ll play the best shot to get you there. After that, let the green do the work for you.

2. Move your practice around the green. In our time with Rickie he told us that he prefers to practice his short game while moving around the green and playing shots from different locations.

He said the 50+ shots from the same spot on the green can be helpful when you need to practice something mechanically in your swing.

But beyond this, he prefers to move about and switch it up between chip shots and then putting those balls to try and get them in.

This makes so much sense, because it helps to simulate course conditions while you’re practicing so we’d definitely recommend this to all of you guys if you aren’t doing this already!

By the way if you’re loving these short game tips so far then be sure to CLICK HERE and check out the Me and My Golf Academy.

We’ve got coaching plans specifically created for every aspect of the short game that we’re sure you guys will love!

3. Play the percentages. Rickie likes to evaluate each chip and play the one that’ll have the least negative impact if he doesn’t quite pull it off.

For example, in one shot we watched, he decided to fly the ball into the slope and he did this because he knew that if it came up a little short then it would still have a chance of rolling closer.

Instead of flying the ball all the way to the hole which had more potential to go wrong if he didn’t hit it exactly how he wanted it.

If you want to know how Rickie did in the challenge that we set him, then be sure to check out the video below.

Ever wondered how much of a role is played by fate in the world of golf?

What if we could tell you the likelihood of you or your child becoming a great golfer without knowing anything more than your star sign?

Well, we’ve taken an in-depth look through the history books to find out how much influence the signs of the zodiac hold when out on the course.

And it turns that you are more likely to become a champion golfer if you are this one particular star sign…

Keep reading to find out which star sign should be happiest with the results of this study.

Major winners and their star signs

We analysed 160 years of men’s major championships, 221 different champions and their birthdays (where they were in the public domain) and star signs to identify:

  • – which star signs were most dominant in top-level golf
  • – which months of birth most frequently generated champion golfers

And here’s what we found:

The most successful star signs in golf

Star signNumber of different Major winners
Virgo23
Capricorn22
Taurus21
Pisces20
Aquarius18
Gemini18
Libra18
Leo17
Aries16
Cancer16
Sagittarius16
Scorpio16

So, good news for Virgos – if you were born between August 23rd – September 22nd, you’re most likely to become a champion golfer!

Why are Virgos well suited to golf?

What could be the reason why so many Virgos have performed at the highest level in golf?

It’s said that Virgos typically:

  • – are perfectionists
  • – have unparalleled levels of concentration
  • – prefer individual sports
  • – tend to learn everything they can about a new sport and then strive to master it
  • – are meticulous
  • – are disciplined
  • – have a strong work ethic
  • – are analytical

Well, that explains it!

Total major wins per star sign

If you look at major winners who have won more than one major in their career, the picture looks a little different. Thanks to the success of Jack Nicklaus (18 major wins), Aquarius golfers have the highest total number of major wins.
