    Author

    Stephen Lance Mellinger

    Stephen “Golf Man” began golfing when he was nine, now fifty years enjoying the game.  He golfed competitively into college in San Francisco, and enjoyed the summers working in Alaska, earning two BA degrees and entrance into Law School.  Choosing to return to Alaska after college, he enjoyed thirty five years there working as a Union carpenter, General  Contractor, furniture designer and builder, sculptor and writer. The long winters provided time for reading, writing and sculpturing golf.  The summer times meant four months off work to teach, play and experience more about the game. With sociology and communication studies BAs, together with craftsman skills, artistic talent, comprehensive knowledge and perception of golf, Stephen’s book, Golfwise,  presents a unique perspective of the game.

      Build A Better Short Game

      How satisfying it is to launch a huge drive down the centre of the fairway? Extremely, of course. However, ask a tour pro what the most important aspect of the game is and 99.9 per cent will say it’s the short game – your performance from 120 yards a

      Jul 22, 2021

      Golf has become much more of a power game, and a few extra yards can give you shorter clubs in or bring longer par 4s or even par 5s into range. So how do you go about generating more power? Look to your main power sources first – the legs and the gr
