골프 팁
At the U.S. Open, Oakmont’s greens were brutal — and Tony Finau’s putting stroke didn’t stand a chance. From one-handed strokes to toe-down putter setups, things are getting a little messy.
This week, Darren deMaille from QuickFixGolf.com analyzes Tony’s form and highlights the small setup tweak that can make a huge difference.
The Problem
Finau’s current stroke has the toe of the putter elevated. That setup encourages arc and face rotation — which adds timing, tension, and inconsistency. He’s even resorted to one-handed putting, a sure sign things are off-track.

Struggling with that classic over-the-top move that sends your drives slicing right? Darren deMaille from QuickFixGolf.com is here with a simple concept that might just stick with you forever: think like a water skier.
Why Water Skiing?
Imagine the boat turning and pulling the skier outward. That’s centrifugal force at play — and the same principle can help your swing. When you rotate your upper body correctly, that same force naturally throws the club into the right position.
Even Justin Rose uses this analogy, explaining how keeping the club in front of you and […]
One of the most common mistakes Darren deMaille sees as a golf coach? Swaying. When your weight shifts too far back—or worse, stays there—it’s nearly impossible to strike the ball cleanly and consistently.
Why Swaying Kills Your Contact
Whether it’s on your backswing or your follow-through, any excessive lateral movement throws off your bottom point and leads to fat or thin shots. To improve your ball-first contact, you need to stay centered and work into your front foot.

If you’ve played golf long enough, you know the terror of the chipping yips. The sudden, twitchy mis-hits that destroy your short game confidence and leave you questioning your life choices. Even Tiger Woods has yipped a chip—it happens to the best of us.
What Causes the Chipping Yips?
The yips often come from a breakdown in the lead wrist at impact. When your hands flip or your grip gets unstable, the club digs instead of glides—and the ball barely makes it off the ground (if at all).
The Fitzpatrick Fix — […]
If you’ve been struggling with your putting, it might be time to take a tip from Scottie Scheffler. This week, Darren deMaille of QuickFixGolf.com shares a simple, powerful habit that’s helping Scheffler roll in putts with confidence (as seen in his recent PGA Championship!), and how you can adopt it too.
Scottie Scheffler’s Sneaky Putting Habit
Scheffler’s secret? He holds his finish. That’s it! After the putt is struck, he stays down and maintains his posture, locking in the feel of the stroke instead of popping up to watch the ball.

Why Your Wrist Position Matters
Your lead wrist at the top of the swing plays a critical role in determining your clubface angle—open, closed, or square. If you want more consistency in your shots, mastering this position is key.
The Carrabba’s Spoon Drill
Here’s a surprisingly effective training tool: a sturdy spoon. Darren deMaille from QuickFixGolf.com recommends grabbing one from your closest Carrabba’s, but any sturdy spoon will do. Slide it into your golf glove so it rests along the back of your lead wrist. This provides instant feedback on whether you’re keeping your wrist flat or letting it break […]
If you’re releasing the club too early and adding unwanted loft on your downswing, you might be suffering from early extension — and it’s killing your distance and accuracy. This week, Darren deMaille from QuickFixGolf.com brings a clever (and cheap) visual to help fix it: a bottle of soda.
The Soda Bottle Drill
Imagine holding a bottle of soda. At the top of your backswing, all the liquid should be at the bottom of the bottle — that’s your lag. The key is to maintain that “full” bottom of the bottle until you […]
This week’s TeeTime Golf Pass Tip of the Week, brought to you by QuickFixGolf.com, is all about setting up your swing for success—starting with those first crucial inches.
When it comes to a great golf swing, what you do at the start of your backswing can make or break your shot. Most golfers don’t realize how important it is to start the club in the right direction—and without that, the rest of the swing becomes a series of unnecessary corrections.
Why Your Takeaway Matters
The backswing is about positioning—not power. The […]
If your shots are veering off target, your grip might not be the issue, it could be your club face alignment. In this week’s TeeTime Golf Pass Golf Tip of the Week, Darren deMaille from QuickFixGolf.com explains how to identify and correct a misaligned club face before you even swing.
What You’ll Need:
An alignment stick
A sleeve of golf balls
The Drill:
Place the alignment stick down parallel to your target line.
Set the club face square to the sleeve of balls—ensuring it’s perpendicular to the stick.
Use this visual setup to understand what square, closed, and open faces look like.
Why It […]
