Months of hard work finally clicked for Daniel. After consistently shooting in the high 80s, he broke 80 for the first time this year with an impressive round on one of his toughest local courses.

missing it left? TQ Specialist Mikah covers how to fix it

Last week, GOLFTEC Founder Joe Assell, TQ Specialist Mikah Johnson, and Director of Operations Nick Pelle were privileged to take part in the 2026 PGA HOPE National Golf & Wellness Week. PGA HOPE Ambassador David Curry joined our foursome for the National Day of HOPE, and the group tied for 2nd.
PGA HOPE helps veterans heal, build community, and find purpose through golf, and seeing that work up close was truly inspiring. We’re honored to support a program that shows what this game can do. Thank you to every veteran who shared the course with us. 🇺🇸

INTO THE WIND (Headwind)
-Club up 2–3 clubs to account for lost distance.
-Move the ball slightly back in your stance to lower launch.
-Favor your lead foot with about 60% of your weight forward.
-Grip down an inch for more control.
-Swing at 75–80% speed. Swinging harder adds spin and can cause the ball to balloon.
-Finish low and controlled with a shorter follow-through.

WITH THE WIND (Tailwind)
-Play for extra distance as the wind helps carry the ball.
-Use less club when the wind is adding significant yardage.
-Consider your landing area. Lower spin can change how the ball lands and rolls.
-Take advantage of the wind with your normal, balanced swing.

ACROSS THE WIND (Crosswind)
-Aim into the wind and allow the ball to drift toward your target.
-Start on the upwind side to give yourself room for the wind to move the ball.
-Play your natural shot shape rather than forcing a draw or fade.
-Avoid aiming toward hazards where a gust could exaggerate your miss.
-Commit to your target line and maintain a smooth, balanced swing.

Driver isn’t always the best club to pull out of the bag. 🏌️‍♂️
Why? Sometimes the smarter play is the better play. Know your distance, your target, and the shot you need to hit.

So... what do I do? Just aim for the pond? 😂⛳️

We call this the “Belly Up” drill and it’s great to take pressure off the low back.

For those that know me as a Golf Coach, you know Jimmy Ballard is my mentor. I have known Jimmy for many years now and his teachings have inspired me for over a decade. While I know Jimmy personally I am often touched by his sentimental side which few people see. As a Christmas gift I received this today....a signed copy of his ONE book with a personal dedication. I am honored to be 1 of 6 golf instructors nationwide that Jimmy says to see for golf instruction.

So when John Benkovic (Director of Instruction in Tysons) played on the South African PGA Tour he played with Justin Walters. They struck a up a good relationship and after John did not make the cut in the 2004 Parmalat Classic in Stellenbosch, he gave Justin his lucky NC State ball marker (Justin went to NC State). Justin went on to win what would be his first professional victory. They stay in touch these days and John watches every tournament Justin is in. This week Justin is playing quite well on the European Tour at the Hong Kong Open. http://sunshinetour.com/walters-gaining-form-right-time-hong-kong/ We wish him luck!!

A good rest, patience and time to learn seem to have worked for Justin Walters going into the second round of the UBS Hong Kong Open held at Fanling, where he shot three-under-par 67 to share third spot with three others, midway through the tournament. “It’s my third time here. I feel like I can …
