How To Best Start The Backswing

Why Golf Planning Broken and How We Fixed It.

Every year, 12 million U.S. golfers travel to play in tournaments, yet the experience of planning for the trip is the opposite of enjoyable. With more than 100,000 golf events held annually and no central platform to search them all, players and families spend an average of 4.7 hours researching and planning every single tournament.

The result: 65% of tournament golfers report dissatisfaction with current planning resources—leading to frustration, wasted money, wasted time, and missed deadlines.

Hubble.GOLF solves all of these challenges. Launching today, the new all-in-one platform unites tournament discovery, travel booking, budgeting, and team coordination into a single, seamless experience.

Hubble Makes Golf Planning Easier for Everyone Involved in Competitive Golf.

    Hubble.GOLF helps parents of junior golfers create itineraries, organize travel, build a smart budget, and track their child’s development all in one place.
  2. Adult Amateur Golfers
    Hubble.GOLF helps adult amateur golfers locate events that fit their schedule, score the best deals on tournament hotels, and stay on budget.
  3. Golf Coaches and Instructors
    Hubble.GOLF helps golf coaches and instructors coordinate team schedules and logistics with ease, communicate with players and parents, search for tournaments, and track player development.
  4. Tournament Directors and Organizers
    Hubble.GOLF helps tournament directors and organizers do away with outdated planning methods, ensure smooth registration, and gain access to a larger, more connected community of players and fans.

Everything You Need, All in One Place

1. Comprehensive Tournament Discovery

Gone are the days of bookmarking dozens of different tournament websites. Our database contains thousands of tournaments nationwide, from local junior golf events to major amateur championships. Search by location, date, age group, or skill level and find exactly what you’re looking for in seconds.

For junior golf families, this means no more missing registration deadlines or overlooking perfect developmental opportunities. For competitive amateurs, it means discovering events you never knew existed. Our golf tournament platform centralizes what used to be scattered across countless websites, email lists, and word-of-mouth recommendations.

2. Intelligent Itinerary Planning

Building a tournament schedule used to mean juggling spreadsheets, calendars, and sticky notes. Now, you can create comprehensive itineraries that include tournaments, travel time, and family commitments. Everything syncs seamlessly across your devices, so you’re never double-booked again.

Parents managing multiple junior golf schedules will especially appreciate having all tournament information centralized in one place. Share schedules with coaches, family members, or carpool partners with ease. You can view travel time between events, helping you plan realistic schedules that don’t leave players exhausted before they even reach the first tee.

3. Integrated Travel & Booking

Why visit multiple websites to plan one tournament trip? Book hotels directly through Hubble, often with exclusive discounts negotiated specifically for our golf community. We’ve partnered with major travel providers to make tournament travel simpler.

As we continue to expand our travel integration features, we’re working to add flight and rental car booking capabilities, along with enhanced preference tracking to make your tournament travel planning even more seamless.

4. Cash Caddie: Your Financial Command Center

Tournament golf can be expensive, but it doesn’t have to be mysterious. Our Cash Caddie feature helps you track expenses, monitor budgets, and even calculate mileage for tax purposes. Finally, you’ll have clear visibility into the true cost of competitive golf.

For junior golf families making significant investments in their young athlete’s development, this transparency is invaluable. Track everything from entry fees and travel costs to equipment expenses and coaching investments. Generate reports for tax preparation, college scholarship applications, or simply understanding where your tournament budget actually goes. Set spending limits by category and receive alerts before you exceed them.

5. A Community That Gets It

Connect with other golfers, parents, and coaches who understand the unique challenges of tournament life. Share course-specific insights, get advice on navigating college golf recruitment, compare notes on training approaches, and build relationships that extend far beyond the 18th hole.

Our community features include tournament-specific discussion threads where players share local knowledge about courses, lodging recommendations from families who’ve been there before, and even carpooling coordination for regional events. For junior golf development, parents can connect with others at similar stages of the journey, sharing both the victories and the valuable lessons learned along the way.

Built by Golfers, for Golfers

Our team includes competitive players, tournament parents, and coaches who’ve experienced every scenario you can imagine. We’ve missed registration deadlines, booked hotels in the wrong city, and showed up to tournaments unprepared. Those painful lessons became the foundation for every feature in Hubble.

We didn’t just build software – we solved problems we’ve actually lived. Every feature exists because someone on our team has a story about needing exactly that tool at exactly the wrong moment. That lived experience shapes not just what our golf tournament platform does, but how it works and what it prioritizes.

What's Coming Next?

This launch is just the beginning. Over the coming months, you’ll see expanded tournament coverage, enhanced community features, and tools that make competitive golf even more accessible. We’re exploring partnerships with golf academies, junior golf organizations, club manufacturers, and tournament organizers to create an even richer ecosystem.

Features in development include performance tracking tools that help players identify strengths and improvement areas across multiple tournaments, enhanced coach collaboration tools for team management, and integration with popular golf GPS and stat-tracking apps. We’re also working on scholarship resource centers specifically for families navigating the junior golf to college golf pathway.

Most importantly, we’re listening. Your feedback drives our roadmap, and every feature request gets serious consideration from our development team. As competitive golfers and tournament parents ourselves, we know the platform is never truly “finished” – it evolves as the needs of the competitive golf community evolve.

Join the Revolution

Competitive golf has been stuck in the past for too long. Scattered information, manual processes, and disconnected systems have made tournament golf harder than it needs to be. Hubble changes that equation.

Whether you’re a junior golfer chasing college scholarships, a parent managing multiple kids’ tournament schedules, or a coach working with an entire team, our golf tournament platform was built with your specific challenges in mind. We understand the unique demands of competitive golf because we live them alongside you.

Ready to Simplify Your Golf Life?

Creating your Hubble account takes less than two minutes, and you can start exploring tournaments immediately. No long learning curves, no complicated setup processes – just powerful tools that work the way you think.

Welcome to Hubble.GOLF. Welcome to the future of competitive golf.

    I swing it forward to my left shoulder first, then back. Builds a lot of extra momentum that way.

    Did bill Bob already have a great start to his downswing? Please remind us of the start to the downswing using similar technique as used in this video. Include when the hands go hard at the ball if in fact they do.

    In your setup, do you keep your left and right shoulders in a straight line? Or is your left shoulder a little to the right, for a right handed player?

    Would have been good to see Bill hit the ball to show how he improved and if it worked for him

    Great tip 👍🏻
    Now, what I (and Bob/Bill) and many others suffer from is …
    Keeping that LEFT ARM STRAIGHT 😫

    Even if I turn the torso (and point that flashlight behind me) I still struggle to keep the width in the left arm (resulting in a narrow backswing)

    I think it stems from trying to flatten the left wrist, as many recommend. Seems like flattening or bowing the left wrist automatically causes BEND in the ELBOW, as if the wrist and elbow are connected somehow way.

    Look at your picture of Xander & Hovland … at the top their left wrist is bowed a LOT (a’la Dustin Johnson).
    Yet, when Piers demonstrates the shorter backswing, his left wrist is flatter (not as bowed).
    How do they keep the left arm straight doing that? 🤔

    Any tips for keeping width with the left arm short of shortening my backswing? 🤷🏼‍♂️

    Would you do the same drills routine with a driver as I hit it to the right with this club. Keep up with the great content

    Good exercise expecially when combined with your previous video on setup distance of the ball.

    What i figured out is if you take your backswing to what feels like 3/4 and don't look up early, you hit a nice little ball first draw. Go figure who knew 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

    Like the 9-to-9 drill, I'll try that out in the range. Ive been struggling with shallow the club on the downswing, I think it's because I'm not rotating properly, my hands could be leading the take away. I'll practice your suggestions to lead the takeaway with the chest so it rotates and my hands don't get ahead.

    Thanks guys, this was insightful.

    How can I join the online lessons?
