For years my life was Golf Instructor by day. Guitarist by night. I taught golf while playing 100 shows a year as a touring musician. Some nights I had a 10PM show. Pack up at 2AM. In bed at 4. On the lesson tee at 8 the same morning. Brutal? Yes. Worth it? Completely. Playing guitar every night left no time to practice golf – so I needed a swing that produced crispy ball striking without maintenance. I still teach that simple swing to golfers all over the world. So you can enjoy life. So golf becomes true recreation – something that re-creates your soul and brings you joy. So you can pursue other hobbies and interests, while still absolutely striping it off the tee. “Life is too short to play bad golf” is the core message of SagutoGolf – and always will be. Which brings me to something I don’t usually write about. Today I released my debut music album New Beginnings - 12 instrumental blues/rock tracks, recorded in my home studio, every note played by me. It’s currently streaming on Spotify, YouTube Music, and other platforms. I’m sharing it with you because, while I’m “that golf guy on YouTube”, there’s more to the story. This album exists because the swing I teach doesn’t need me every day. If I’d spent the last 10 years grinding on the range chasing a timing-based swing, there’d be no album. And, there certainly wouldn't be SagutoGolf. That’s what “life is too short to play bad golf” means to me. I invite you to check out the other side of my life — the guitar side.

Where’s the beef? This famous expression from a 1984 Wendy’s ad poked fun at other fast-food chains and their ever-shriveling burger sizes. Because, to a burger lover, the meat – the substance – the experience of enjoying a delicious mouth-watering bite hinges on the burger’s main event – the meat. Similarly, people who talk a lot but say little are just as un-filling as a burger without meat. Back when I was a kid, my Sicilian grandfather sat at the head of the table. Eight of us gathered...
The fastest aircraft in the world... represents the human desire to push the envelope and boldly go where no man has gone before. People who push the limits often risk their lives to achieve maximum speed. In Top Gun 2, Tom Cruise destroyed his plane just because he wanted to reach Mach 10. I guess Mach 9 wasn’t “fast enough”. And, subsequently, we learned that... The fastest thing isn’t the most reliable thing. The fastest things are high maintenance because they rely on perfect timing to...
I used to play guitar in a local band with Robbie… and the guys regularly practiced in his garage, where he placed his drum kit right next to his golf clubs. While he was laying the groove down, I couldn’t help but notice this large plastic trash bin in the corner overflowing with training aids. Dusty, rusted relics from days of old. Things that looked like they were used for 5 minutes then discarded into the land of lost toys. Pure nostalgia. All the stuff from those cheesy golf ads in the...
