How to Make More Birdies: 4 Keys From Chris Gotterup

|
By Brendon Elliott Verified
| PGA of America Verified
Chris Gotterup did not just win the John Deere Classic. He went and took it. A final-round 62 at TPC Deere Run is the kind of number that jumps off the page, especially when it comes on Sunday with a trophy on the line. But the real lesson for everyday golfers is not that Gotterup made a bunch of birdies. Tour players do that. The lesson is how a player creates birdie chances without getting reckless, then keeps his mind quiet enough to convert them.

|
By Abbi Kasitz
| PGA of America Verified
Golf is a game of fine margins. But what happened at Galt Country Club on June 26, 2026, was beyond ordinary golf magic. During an afternoon round, Galt Country Club member Shawn Brown and his guest, Trevor Fackrell, achieved the ultimate golfing feat: beating the odds together. They both made aces on the 14th hole, on the same day, in the same group. For any individual golfer, watching a tee shot track toward the pin, hop, and disappear into the cup is a once-in-a-lifetime miracle.

TPC Deere Run Course Guide: Key Holes, Strategy and History

By Brendon Elliott Verified
| PGA of America Verified
There is something wonderfully honest about TPC Deere Run. It does not try to overwhelm players with brute force. It does not hide behind manufactured difficulty or ask for survival golf. Instead, the longtime home of the John Deere Classic asks a different question: Can you keep attacking when the golf course keeps inviting you to attack? That is the charm, and the challenge, of this D.A. Weibring-designed layout in Silvis, Illinois.

By Brendon Elliott Verified
| PGA of America Verified
Lucas Glover’s lead at the John Deere Classic is a reminder that better golf often starts with simpler golf. He's not leading because he found a secret move no one else knows about; through 36 holes, Glover's made 14 birdies and no bogeys. Those are tour-level numbers, but the formula is not reserved for those trying to win at TPC Deere Rune alone. Here’s how everyday players can use his approach to clean up ball-striking, scoring and self-talk.

By Chris Lewis
| PGA of America Verified
As Southern Illinois’s only 27-hole course, Rend Lake stands out for a variety of reasons. First, there are plenty of golfing options on one property, enabling guests to play nine, 18 or 27 (or more) holes in one day if they’d like. Second, due to its location in Whittington, a small town that’s less than 70 miles from Missouri’s border, Rend Lake Golf Course is near many destinations. It’s roughly 1.5 hours from St. Louis Lambert International Airport.

Michael Block’s PGA Tour Champions debut was more than a nice story. It was a reminder of what good golf looks like when a player understands who he is, trusts what he does well and keeps perspective when the finish does not go exactly as planned. For PGA Professionals, Block’s story hits a little differently. He is one of us. He teaches, coaches, runs a lesson tee and has spent much of his career helping everyday golfers enjoy the game more.

How Remote Coaching Is Changing Junior Golf Development

|
By Brendon Elliott Verified
| PGA of America Verified
For a long time, golf instruction had one picture. A student stood on the lesson tee. A coach stood nearby. The coach watched, explained, adjusted, demonstrated and sent the player away with something to practice. That model still matters. It always will. But it is no longer the only serious way to coach. Remote coaching used to be viewed as a backup plan.

|
By Brendon Elliott Verified
| PGA of America Verified
Haeran Ryu’s win at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship was not built on a perfect final round. That is the lesson. Ryu won her first major championship at Hazeltine National after a day that could have easily gotten away from her. The final round was delayed by weather. The wind picked up. The golf course was wet, long and demanding. Then Ryu, who started the day with the lead, bogeyed the first hole and made three bogeys in her first five holes.
