    Ep 209 - Wednesday Wisdom - Is Your Set Up for Short Game Costing You Strokes?

    One of the biggest mistakes I see golfers make around the greens is using the same setup regardless of the lie. When you've got a soft, wet lie, the club can dig into the turf very easily. A simple adjustment that can make a huge difference is standing a little taller and allowing the shaft to sit more upright at address. When golfers get too bent over with the handle very low, the leading edge tends to dig. By standing taller, you can encourage the club to work through the turf with less resistance and use the bounce more effectively. The result? Cleaner contact, more consistent strike, and a much better chance of getting the ball onto the green and rolling towards the hole. Next time you face a soft or wet lie around the greens, don't just grab your wedge and hope for the best. Adjust your setup, stand a little taller, and let the club do the work. That's your Wednesday Wisdom. Have a great week and play well.

    Ep 205 - Wednesday Wisdom - Understanding YOUR Ability & Practicing Better.

    In this week's Wednesday Wisdom, I discuss the art of getting better at golf and why improvement starts with understanding where your game really sits. I break down how many greens in regulation golfers of different handicap levels typically hit, and why having realistic benchmarks can help you focus your practice on the areas that matter most. I also dive into the importance of slowing down your breathing on the golf course and how controlling your breathing can help settle your nerves, improve decision-making, and ultimately lead to better golf shots. Finally, I discuss one of the most valuable skills in golf: the ability to take a mental reset between shots. Bad holes and poor shots happen to everyone, but the players who avoid the downhill spiral are often the ones who can reset, refocus, and move forward without carrying frustration to the next shot. If you're serious about improving your golf, this episode will give you practical strategies you can start using immediately.

    Ep 203 - Wednesday Wisdom: "Swing Your Swing" – The Most Misunderstood Advice in Golf.

    Wednesday Wisdom: "Swing Your Swing" – The Most Misunderstood Advice in Golf. One of the most common phrases you'll hear in golf is, "Just swing your swing."And to a point, I understand what people mean. When you look at the best players in the world, not everybody swings the club the same way. Jim Furyk, Matthew Wolff, Bubba Watson, Scottie Scheffler – they all have movements that look unique. But here's what most golfers miss...Those players have spent decades building those swings. They've hit millions of golf balls. They've learned exactly how to time those movements and make them repeatable under pressure. The average golfer doesn't have that luxury.Most golfers work 40 or 50 hours a week. They might get to the range once or twice and play on the weekend. They simply don't have 100 hours every week to perfect compensations and unusual movement patterns.That's why I don't fully agree with the advice of "just swing your swing."For most golfers, the goal shouldn't be to make a flawed motion work. The goal should be to build a motion that requires less timing, less compensation, and less practice to produce a reasonable result. Good golf swings aren't necessarily about looking pretty.They're about putting the club in functional positions often enough that when you arrive at the first tee on Saturday morning, you've got a chance. Because enjoyment comes from hitting some decent shots.It comes from seeing the ball fly roughly where you intended.It comes from not standing over every shot wondering whether today's timing is going to show up.Tour players can get away with unusual movements because they've invested years into owning them.Most amateurs are far better served by developing sound fundamentals. Better grip. Better setup. Better clubface control. Better impact conditions. Those things don't make golf easy, but they make golf more predictable.And for most golfers, predictable golf is enjoyable golf.So instead of "swing your swing," maybe the better advice is:Build a swing that works when life gets busy.Build a swing that still functions after a long week at work. Build a swing that doesn't require perfect timing. Build a swing that lets you enjoy the game more often. Because at the end of the day, that's what most golfers are really chasing.
