The Ridiculous Reason Why 90% of Golfers Can’t Strike Their Irons

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.

  1. Parents of Junior Golfers
    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    Hubble.GOLF helps tournament directors and organizers do away with outdated planning methods, ensure smooth registration, and gain access to a larger, more connected community of players and fans.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.

Ready to get started? Sign up for your free Hubble account today and discover what organized tournament golf feels like.

Video Description

This is why you struggle to strike your irons pure and make solid contact 👇

1. Your sternum is not positioned correctly at address
2. Your forearms are not in line at set up – BIG ONE
3. Your posture is misaligned at set up
4. You don’t transfer your weight naturally in the golf swing
5. and one cool little trick that makes your golf swing effortless

What’s great is if you have any one of these faults in your golf swing they are really easy to fix and can make an instant impact on the quality of your ball striking not just with your irons but with your driver too.

For example if you want to hit your driver straight just getting the forearms aligned at address will be a real eye opener for you.

ABOUT DANNY
———————–
Thanks for stopping by. I created this website as a resource just for you to support you on your golfing journey as I know how tricky learning this game can be…to say the least!

I personally found learning the game too long and difficult in the early days. I read all the books, watched all the videos but my game was not improving. Then after studying various forms of neuro science, motor learning, psychology and personal development in less than two years I went from struggling golfer to the final stage of the Open Championship.

On YouTube and my personal website (www.dannymaude.com) I will bring you the most up to date training, training that is getting tangible results for my clients right now. I don’t know where you are in your golfing journey, you could be just starting out or maybe your body isn’t as flexible as it once was or you’ve got ambitions to slash your handicap. Wherever you are I’ve created a place here you can learn, share your ideas, ask questions and get all the support you need to enjoy this great game.

Be prepared though. If its a quick fix you are after Im not your man. Here I will give you step-by-step advice that you can take straight to the practice ground and apply to the course but it will require you to get stuck in, screw up…a lot, practice some more and then watch those scores tumble

I’ve had the pleasure of coaching thousands of students all around the world and if you are up for the challenge and are ready to get in the game…LETS GO TO WORK!

    Danny, great video. I learned a few years back that if I focus on the ball I develop a "hit" instinct, which was terrible for my swing. What I taught myself to do was to NOT look at the ball after I set the clubface behind it. Since the ball is not moving, it will always be there when the clubface arrives. I've always had great hand-eye coordination, so this works best for me. Cheers.

    Your tip where I imagine throwing a ball forward really helped, at least so far with my 9 iron and my whiffle balls in my backyard last night. I went from constantly slicing and being inconsistent to constant straight shots (except for here and there when I know old habits took over with my swing). Really really helpful, thank you! I then tried with a 6 iron but need to work that feeling out first as I was still slicing, but I think I'll get it worked out with some more practice tonight. Thanks again!

    Danny, I have watched a lot of your videos. And I have watched a lot of other videos on a lot of other content creators. But this one just today completely changed my game. It was unbelievable. I have been trying to hit the ball for five years since I took up golf during Covid. Using my shoulders, arms and a tight grip to try to control the ball flight. I was able to get below 90 but it was just so much work all the time. Today after just this one video I finally realized all that I was doing wrong without using the momentum of the clubhead to do the work for me. Every shot was 10 to 15 yards further effortlessly. Thank you so much. Keep up the great work.

    Well i've tried all the drills Danny has shown the one that helped most was the push pull with the alighnment stick between the legs.The drop down feels good too but when i put all together no matter how good the position of the club I can somehow make it get steep and dig in fat or hit it thin with irons i check my position ,swing in slow mo everything looks and feels fine ,my club comes straight down in front of my centres but when i turn all goes freakin crazy .Diver works very well but irons will be the death of me.Ive seen others vids that say i can turn as hard as i want once the club is in front of me and not hit it fat lol i beg to differ.

    Visuals are so crucial! I found that a lot of my issues on the course come from me hyper focusing on the club face.

    When I see that "square face", my mind start to do weird things. The easiest fix to avoid this, was to practice swing.

    It's clear as day that all the pro's and great golfers do the same thing prior to hitting. Couple practice swings, sometimes even watching the club face as they do so just to get the visual of it squaring at impact.

    Ive been away from the game for several yrs. Just recently started playing again. I was a low handicap when I stopped now, Im around a 15. My driver and consistency striking the ball need the most improvement. When I stopped, I was compressing the ball and capable of shaping my shots. This guys videos are top-notch. They are bringing everything back to me. I loved the video where he moved the ball back in his driver stance. Genius. New sub here.

    Somehow I find the advice confusing.
    The first one on aligning sternum with the ball should only be valid for shorter irons, shouldn't it? For longer irons the ball moves forward and you don't lean towards it. And it sound somewhat trivial anyway, something you learn on day 1, unless I'm missing something.
    The second one on effortless swing is dubious even theoretically: the club moves naturally in whatever way you're used too. So when someone wants to fix their swing, it means they already learned something wrong and this feels natural to them, even if it means compensating where it's not needed anymore because of the correct body movement.
    Also the third one is interesting: is it just me who can't think about any target anymore during the downswing? I happens in a split second, it's only reflexes at this point. I assume you first think on how your shot needs to go, set for this up and then execute without thinking anymore.

    Amazing analogy about throwing the ball and bouncing over the target. Just tried this and make amazing contact. Sometimes you just need something to relate to for the golf swing to click. Hopefully this translates on the course. 😂

    1. Understand Ball Striking: Great ball striking occurs when you hit the ball first, then the turf. Aim for a natural downward angle of attack.

    2. Proper Setup: Position your sternum over the ball at setup. This alignment increases the likelihood of striking the ball before the ground.

    3. Handle Position: Start with a slight lean of the shaft towards your lead leg. This helps create a solid foundation for your swing.

    4. Effortless Swing: Focus on swinging the club with momentum rather than forcing angles. An effortless swing leads to better strikes.

    5. Body Movement: Use your rib cage to control the swing. This promotes natural club movement and helps maintain speed.

    6. Avoid Flicking: Ensure your body moves correctly to prevent flicking the club. A proper body pivot creates lag and improves strike quality.

    7. Passive Wrists: Allow your wrists to bend naturally during the swing. This passive action contributes to a better strike without forcing angles.

    8. Target Focus: Identify your target beyond the ball. Focusing on the target helps direct your swing and improves mechanics.

    9. Merge Targets: Practice merging your focus on the ball and your target. This dual focus enhances your swing dynamics.

    10. Bounce Exercise: Use a ball to practice bouncing it ahead of your target. This exercise reinforces the connection between downward pressure and forward momentum.

    11. Start Small: Begin with small swings to develop the feeling of momentum and proper striking before gradually increasing the swing size.

    12. Practice Consistently: Regular practice of these techniques will lead to improved consistency in striking your irons and fairway woods.

    The word effortlessly, naturally and with momentum were key to me. I’ve hit so many fat and topped shots lately I almost gave up the game. Rib cage rotation, ball placement and targets guidance also were key to your helping me understand once more how to hit a golf ball. I’m old (81) and had gotten very wristy over the last few months. My sequence was: bad shot, swing harder; swing harder, worse shot; worse shot, swing harder; …. It was awful, of course. Trying to “self-correct” did nothing to make things better and I thought that age had finally caught up with me and regardless of the fact I’m in good health and shape, maybe it is time to give the bag and clubs away. But, I found your video. Yesterday, going to the range and following your methods, I reconnected with hitting good (many real good) shots. Damn, that felt good. Today, with my notes in hand, it’s range again, then play tomorrow with buddies. Maybe I can shoot my age again a few times. Thank you.

    I love your video. I have a question for you if you can show a way to where I can use my swing because I had two surgeries on my left wrist Where all four of my bones were fused it will not allow me to bend my left wrist and I noticed your video you are bending your wrist a little I can’t bend it at all. Do you have something for me that I can use to hit the ball better?

    any advice for somone that has both wrists fused solid? no flexion or extension ability. I'm currently a 7 HCP, but it's mainly based off my game that's within 100 yards and putting is better; than any club longer than my wedges. I've yet to find an answer for this from any instructor or content creator. just wish I could flush my irons to their full loft capabilities by compressing the ball properly.
