Hey everyone! Thanks for staying with us while we go through some rebranding (and while I've gone through a very intense major client period on my real job). Very soon we will be relaunching this page as a destination site for people around the world interested in learning about options for great golf, food and hospitality in the New York City area. We will still have regular tips and commentary, but will now also have partners and sponsors to help you make the most of your golf budget when you visit our fair part of the world. Hope you'll enjoy your stay! Cheers from NYC, Sean

Best golf tip ever, and the reason why Tiger, Ben Hogan, Lee Trevino and Rory McIlroy are four of the best ball strikers, and thus best golfers, ever. Click here: http://dailygolftippler.com/2012/01/02/best-golf-tip-ever-left-wrist-to-target-like-in-this-video-of-the-great-lee-trevino/

So we've all heard a ton of great golf jokes, and the Daily will be posting plenty more in the coming year!... but this New Jersey hunter joke is the funniest one in ages, "funniest joke ever" some people are saying? Click here: http://dailygolftippler.com/2012/01/01/the-funniest-joke-in-the-world-best-joke-ever/

Happy New Year everyone! Final golf tip for 2011 ... chase the clubhead and extend yourself "down the line" like Jack, Ben and Rory for accurate drives and crisp iron shots. Here's how: http://dailygolftippler.wordpress.com/2011/12/30/golf-tip-on-driving-straight-and-hitting-accurate-irons-chase-down-the-line/

By Sean Geoffrey O'Sullivan Happy new year! 2012 is going to be a good one, as long as the Mayans are wrong ... well, even if they're right the world isn't supposed to end until next December, s...

Hi all, a frozen wintry tip for putting fast (or slow) greens. http://dailygolftippler.com/2011/12/18/golf-tip-for-putting-fast-greens-vs-slow-greens/

Hey there everyone ... welcome to winter! Brrrrrr 26 degrees of frozen wind in holiday-land New York City. I cannot wait until Masters week! Anyway, I've been practicing putting in my living roo...

Great tip today about "playing within yourself" and, like Jack, swinging at 80% for maximum distance WITH accuracy (hit it on the "screws"!) http://dailygolftippler.com/2011/12/11/golf-tip-of-the-day-take-it-easy-swing-80-for-maximum-results/

TAKE IT EASY! By Constance Lord O'Sullivan What follows may appear counter-intuitive, but stay with me and you will see where I am going with this, OK? The phrase "give it 110% all the time" i...

Tiger looks like he's on the verge of a win in this duel with Zach Johnson. I'm sitting here with the flu, and writing about golf. The flu sucks, but the golf is marvelous. http://dailygolftippler.wordpress.com/2011/12/04/heeeeeeeeees-baaaaaaaack-tiger-woods-is-on-the-verge-of-glorious-career-phase-2-and-his-swing-looks-tight/

By Sean Geoffrey O'Sullivan Watching Tiger and Zach duel it out at Sherwood. Day 8 of a horrible flu. Being sick sucks. Just sucks. No energy, chores and duties piling up, no zip for the fun thi...

Back in a grove and able to post some tips, probably once or twice a week until the season begins again. Plus some more great commentary coming from The Tippler's Mother. Here's a thought on spine angle for consistent ball striking. Go Team USA, keep that President's Cup! http://dailygolftippler.com/2011/11/16/spine-angle-for-better-ball-striking/

Pros keep a very consistent spine angle through contact ... amateurs on the other hand tend to come up too early, coming "up and out" and consequently often block or weak slice out to the right. Lo...

Have been swamped with my real job, busy time of the year for us ramping up to the fall, so am a little behind in my columns. Here's an oldie but a goodie we did on "backing off" when the shot doesn't feel right, from a few months ago. Back to the groove over the weekend, thanks everyone! -The Tippler http://dailygolftippler.com/2011/03/24/todays-free-golf-tip-back-off-man/

One thing you'll see this weekend on all five major Tours (PGA, LPGA, European, Nationwide, Asian ... and the Sunshine, Australian and South American Tours too), and certainly on Arnold Palmer's su...
