      What a 20, 15 and 10 Handicap Golfers Index Actually Looks Like

      Bythebettermiss August 10, 2026August 6, 2026

      If you ask a room full of 20, 15 and 10 Handicap golfers how far they hit their driver or how many three-putts they have in a round, you will get a masterclass in creative storytelling. Golfers are built on outcome bias. We remember the one 285-yard drive that hit a cart path and caught…

      Driver Length Full Guide: Find Your Ideal Setup

      Bythebettermiss August 3, 2026August 5, 2026

      If you go into any golf store today and grab a driver off the rack, the driver length is probably going to be 45.75 inches long (or even longer!). Golf companies build them super long for one simple reason: they think it makes you swing faster. On paper, a longer stick creates a bigger circle,…

      Golf books serves a valuable place online unlike the internet are completely full of swing gurus, self-proclaimed experts, and clickbait videos promising the “one secret loop” that will instantly cure your slice and add 30 yards to your drive. If you ask me, most of it is just loud noise. Over the years, I’ve realized…

      Chasing driver distance: The Myth of the 300-Yard Drive

      Bythebettermiss June 23, 2026August 5, 2026

      Chasing driver distance for a modern golfer feels like a must but something strange happened. We stopped asking “how do I play better golf?” and started asking “why am I not hitting it 300 yards?” And that question has probably caused more wasted swings, ego injuries, and lost golf balls than almost anything else in…

      Bythebettermiss June 16, 2026June 20, 2026

      The Midnight YouTube Spiral Like any average golfer, the second my game starts falling apart, my immediate reflex is to open YouTube. We’ve all been there—it’s midnight, you’re staring at a screen, hoping some swing guru has the magic pill to cure your latest miss. Last year, my crisis was the short game. The “One…

      How Jon Sherman Changed My Expectations

      Bythebettermiss June 12, 2026June 20, 2026

      Like many golfers, I spent years believing that I was always one swing thought away from unlocking my best golf. A bad round meant something needed fixing. A few poor iron shots would send me down a YouTube rabbit hole looking for answers. If my driver wasn’t behaving, I convinced myself I needed a new…

      Bythebettermiss June 12, 2026June 20, 2026

      Have you ever watched the pros on TV and thought, how on earth do they make it look so effortless? In my humble opinion, tour pros are actually some of the worst people to copy when it comes to golf swing mechanics. Not because they’re bad. Quite the opposite. They’re simply too good. Most of…

      Why I Started Aiming Away From Trouble (and Stopped Playing Hero Golf)

      Bythebettermiss June 12, 2026June 20, 2026

      There was a time when I thought good golf meant aiming at flags. Not just the obvious ones. All of them. Back pins over water? Go at it.Tight pin over a bunker? Still going for it.Dogleg with trouble down one side? Just “shape it a bit” and trust it’ll behave. It felt like that was…
