About me
I'm Mike Maves. On the web most people know me as Sevam1!! I make videos and write books about golf. I used to play and practice a lot and got to be a pretty good golfer. I got especially good at the hitting golf balls part. I still remember most of what I learned and I am happy to share that info with anyone who wants to improve. I am passionate about using the Internet to help people get better at golf. I started this site with Steve Elkington so that people would have the tools to learn about golf both from us and from each other. Hope you enjoy it!!

I was a 1.6 handicap a month and a half ago and that number is quickly on the rise. I shot a 94 a couple of days ago where I only got up and down ONCE.
