E39: Struggle with your Short Game? Stop Making these two mistakes!

Tue, 08 Oct 2024 07:39:39 -0400

⛳️ Today we are talking about saving your short game! For many, the short game is where rounds are won or lost. If you're having a good round, you'll still have several times where you will miss a green and you want to get close to the hole. If you're not hitting it well, the only way you're going to save your score is by having a really good short game. Let’s talk about two big mistakes I see all the time—and how you can fix them to improve your short game.

E38: 4 Keys to consistent Golf!

Thu, 26 Sep 2024 07:00:00 -0400

How to Be More Consistent on the Golf Course | 4 Key Areas for Improvement

Consistency is one of the most sought-after goals in golf, but let’s be honest – it’s also one of the hardest to achieve. A lot of golfers think being consistent means hitting perfect shots every single time, but even the best players in the world don’t do that. So, in this video, we’re going to dive into what consistency really looks like and how you can actually achieve it in your game.

⛳ Thanks to @callawaygolf for the support!

In this video, we’ll cover four key areas you need to focus on if you want to improve your consistency on the golf course:

Consistent Preparation Before the Round
You’d be surprised how many golfers sabotage their rounds before they even step onto the first tee. If you’re one of those players who needs a few holes to "warm up," it’s time to rethink your pre-round routine. I’ll explain how a simple dynamic warm-up can help you start strong and stay consistent throughout all 18 holes. Forget waiting until hole 3 to start playing well – let’s get your body and mind ready from the first swing.

Sticking to a Consistent Process
Most golfers struggle with consistency because they don’t stick to a routine. You hit one bad shot, and suddenly you’re trying to change everything about your swing. Sound familiar? In this section, I’ll break down why sticking to a pre-shot routine is so important and how it can help you become more reliable under pressure. We’ll talk about practice swings, alignment, and the mental cues that can give you that extra confidence over the ball.

Analyzing Your Game to Find Weaknesses
Spoiler alert: the key to consistency isn’t always about making perfect swings. It’s about identifying the areas of your game that are really costing you strokes. We’ll talk about how to analyze your rounds to find out where you’re losing shots. Are you losing balls off the tee? Three-putting too much? Not getting up and down often enough? I’ll show you how to track your stats and target the areas that need the most work so you can practice smarter, not harder.

Managing Your Emotions and Staying Focused
Let’s be real – golf can mess with your head. Whether you’re riding high after a few great holes or spiraling after a couple of bad ones, your emotions can seriously affect your consistency. In this section, I’ll share some strategies for keeping your emotions in check, so you can stay focused on the shot at hand and not let past holes mess with your mindset. This is key to playing steady golf from start to finish.

Why Consistency is More Than Just Hitting Perfect Shots
Throughout this video, I’ll show you that being consistent on the golf course isn’t about hitting every fairway or every green. Even the top players in the world don’t do that. Instead, we’ll focus on what you can control – your preparation, your process, your analysis, and your emotions. By making improvements in these areas, you’ll set yourself up for more consistent rounds, even when your swing isn’t perfect.

If you’re tired of the ups and downs and want to start seeing steady improvements in your game, this video is for you.

E37: Padraig Harrington reminded me of this!

Wed, 18 Sep 2024 11:59:23 -0400

“Golfers need to get better at hitting their next shot.”

Recently, I was fortunate enough to spend the day with three-time major champion and Hall of Fame golfer Padraig Harrington. During one of our conversations, the topic of amateur golfers came up, and he said something that really stuck with me: golfers need to get better at hitting their next shot.

What he meant was the ability to focus solely on the task in front of you—letting go of distractions and not allowing the results (positive or negative) of your previous shot to affect the one you're about to hit.

This resonated with me because I’ve noticed both myself and some of my students falling into this trap lately. Even though we're nearing the end of the year, I still want golfers to strive to finish their season on a high note.

So today, I'm sharing what Padraig's quote meant to me, how I’ve incorporated it into my own process, and a few takeaways that might help you play better golf.

E33: Start making that swing change, all you need is this!

Tue, 19 Mar 2024 07:09:00 -0400

Did you know you can do anything you want? As it relates to Golf, you can start to change any part of your game at any time?! Here is the key, it's to start!

A lot of change for me, a little over 2 months ago my wife and I had our first child. My days are MUCH different than they used to be. But I still have goals for the 2024 golf season. How am I going to fit it all in? One 5 minute stretch at a time! If you “don't have time” start small, 5 minutes a day. Do something, swing a golf club, work on one move, hit some chips, roll some putts, do something!

Nothing is stopping you from a great 2024 golf season, just go start!

E25: 6 Things I learned in 2023

Tue, 19 Dec 2023 07:03:00 -0500

As 2023 ends, I take some time to look back at some things I learned this year. Some of these are more reminders than anything, but they stick out to me.

Things I learned in 2023:

-Never assume someone understands what you’re saying

-Explore other sports (jumping, basketball)

-You have to play golf with your students

-Trying new things is rarely a bad idea (iI would rather try and know, than not try and wonder)

-You cannot take care of your body enough (chiro, cold showers)

-Padraig Harrington Loves……

E24: I’m afraid to think when I’m hitting it good!

Tue, 12 Dec 2023 15:37:47 -0500

I don’t want to think when I’m hitting it good!

These are the famous last words that I recently heard from a student. In today's episode, I tell a story about a student of mine who recently didn't want to take feedback on his golf swing because he was hitting it very well and he thought that he had solved the problem.

This is a trap we cannot fall into! I believe when you're hitting it your best you should be taking even more video to get a very good understanding of what it looks like and what you're doing when you're hitting high-quality golf shots. Too often players just wait until they're hitting it poorly to start to take video and start to think about their golf swings.

This is a short episode that is very important for you to listen to if you're working on your golf swing this off season.

5 Launch Monitor Data Points you need to understand!

-Club Path

-Club Face

-Smash Factor

-Angle of Attack

-Low Point

#golf #golftips #golfer #golfpodcast

With many of us having to move indoors for the winter months, a lot of you have access to launch monitors whether it be at a simulator, or possibly at your home. unfortunately, many golfers don't understand a lot of the data points that they're looking at and don't understand what it means to their specific golf swing. In this week's podcast, I break down five important data points for you to know and understand specific to your golf swing when you're using a launch monitor. I understand that there are different systems out there and that there are plenty of data points, but consider this a starting point of things you need to be an expert at.

E22: The Future of Golf Real Time GPS!

Tue, 28 Nov 2023 07:01:00 -0500

On course GPS is becoming more and more sophisticated. This week I interviewed Eric, who is the creator of the Shot Pattern App. Shot Pattern is one of the most advanced GPS apps I have seen. It allows you to look at a golf course before you play it, but also use it actively while you're playing golf. It does a fantastic job illustrating start lines and when you couple that with the ability to see where your dispersions will land, or where your proximity till the whole around a green will end up I think this can be a game changer for a lot of golfers out there. We had a wide-ranging conversation about how we decided to come up with this app, and some things he sees on the golf course with golfers, I also added some of my thoughts of why I think this app can help me and my players shoot lower scores.

Whether you're a competitive player or just an average weekend golfer this episode is a must listen!

You can download Shot Pattern on iOS here, https://shotpattern.app/

You can find Eric on X and Instagram @ShotPattern

E21: These 3 words can reshape your practice!

Tue, 21 Nov 2023 08:01:00 -0500

Exaggeration, focus, and intent! It sounds so simple in concept but for many golfers if they can understand how to use these three words when they practice, they will improve a lot faster. #golf #golfcoach #golflesson #golfpodcast

I dive into each of these three words and give you a deeper understanding of how to think about them and how to use each one of them to cultivate an environment that can help you improve. I also talk about especially going into the golf season I don't like to see golfers take long breaks before they start getting back into training. so I give some examples of how we can take a small amount of time and make the most out of it.

E20 Rockstar Coach Kyla Inaba

Tue, 14 Nov 2023 08:01:00 -0500

In this week's episode, I have a fantastic chat with the 2023 PGA British Columbia teacher of the year, Kyla Inaba. Kyla had an extensive playing career as an amateur golfer and as a professional golfer that took her all around the globe. We talked about her time playing professional golf and ultimately how that led her into the teaching world. Kyla has quickly solidified herself as one of the country's top coaches and she runs a wide range of coaching programs to help players of all abilities and age ranges shoot lower scores. Kyla is most notably known for her Swing Like a Girl program and we have some good conversation around the format of that program and how she's executed a program that has seen over a thousand women come through the program. Towards the end, we spoke about her husband and his journey as a 10-year caddie at Bandon Dunes (what?!)

E19: PostShot Routine? What the heck is that!

Tue, 07 Nov 2023 08:02:00 -0500

This week I talked about our post-shot routine. this topic came to me because I watched so many golfers react negatively to bad shots as soon as they make contact, and I believe they are missing a very important feedback opportunity. our post-shot routine should involve taking in the shot that we just hit whether it was good or bad, and trying to reverse engineer what we think went wrong and hopes of adjusting so the mistake doesn't repeat itself.

I think this is something that all golfers can get a little bit better at, and I hope this can help you in the future!

E13: Club Championship Thoughts

Tue, 26 Sep 2023 08:01:00 -0400

A golfer reached out to me and asked: “I have my first individual stroke play event this weekend any tips? This really got me thinking about what they normally do when they play and why would they do anything differently. In this episode, I share my response to him and highlight possible opportunities for all of us

Why do we think it's different? What changes? Expectations? Focus on the outcome?
Why are we so nervous?
When do we start to prepare for an “event”?
How should we look at our normal rounds? Or league rounds?
Is it really that different?
How we can learn from any event and move forward

E4: You won’t play your best everyday, and that’s okay!

Tue, 25 Jul 2023 06:00:00 -0400

In this episode of the Podcast, I share my thoughts about the idea that you will not play your best golf every day. Whether we like it or not it is something we have to deal with. I talk about:

-Realizing when you might not have it, but always pushing ahead because you may turn it on -Quitting is not an option what is your backup plan, what process do you run through when it's not working?

-Shifting your mindset to “grind mode”

-We need to understand that this will happen and that's okay.

-It happens to the best in the world and will happen to us, how we manage that is the difference.
