    Why I shortened my driver shaft (and it worked)

    16/10/2026 | 14 mins.
    Conventional wisdom might hold that swinging a shorter club might mean shorter distances. And that might be true if one assumed that impact locations on the face stayed the same. But shorter clubs are also easier to hit, and center hits equal fewer big misses and, often, more distance, too. LKD is joined by Club Champion Founder Nick Sherburne to explain why this trade-off works.

    How your full swing can affect your putting stroke

    06/10/2026 | 10 mins.
    Most people have a general idea of what's wrong with their full swing. But the putting stroke is so compact, it's much harder to diagnose when something is amiss. After chatting with putting coach Stephen Sweeney, LKD breaks down how some of the same DNA that makes your full swing can leak into your putting stroke. Crucially, LKD explains why certain putting grips might help fix some flaws.

    The easiest way to break 80

    29/09/2026 | 14 mins.
    "How do you break 80?" is one of the most common questions in amateur golf. If you’re consistently shooting in the low 80s, the easiest way to shoot in the 70s probably isn’t making more birdies. It’s avoiding double bogeys, improving your golf course management and making smarter decisions from tee to green. Luke Kerr-Dineen breaks down how to break 80 using golf statistics, shot-pattern data and simple course-management strategies that can help golfers shoot lower scores without changing their golf swing.

    25/09/2026 | 16 mins.
    This isn't a full-blown "Tee it Forward" campaign. Rather, it's a training tool designed to help familiarize yourself with new situations, particularly better scoring. LKD breaks down the full range of benefits from playing a much shorter course than you might be used to.
