    Send a text January’s Yearly Championship round is done — and it was ruthless. For the first time ever, ties are settled with The Die of Truth, and the virtual playoff delivers nerves, chaos, and the usual champagne podcasting! Then things get weird... Steve tests left-handed vs right-handed putting over nine holes — same greens, same reads, alternating hands. Is it a breakthrough? A mid-life putting crisis? Or the start of carrying two putters in competition? There’s discussion of: Pressure vs preparationDominant eye theoryWhether four putters in the bag is genius or insanityAnd why sometimes not overthinking tee-to-green produces your best ball strikingThe search for middle-aged sporting glory continues… one experimental stroke at a time.

    Ep. 110 Hope Is Not a Strategy

    Send us a text What’s the real difference between a plan and a strategy—and why do so many golfers confuse the two? In this episode, Andy and Steve unpack their 2026 golf blueprints, starting with a big-picture strategy and working down into the day-to-day planning that actually drives improvement. They cover health and fitness, practice structure, short-game priorities, competition schedules, and the realities of juggling golf with work, family, injury, and winter conditions. Along the way, they reflect on what’s worked (and what hasn’t) in previous years, why flexibility matters more than rigid plans, and how defining your playing field changes the decisions you make as a golfer. Also in this episode: A Pilgrims poll update and the rise of the Dice of TruthWhy health and fitness are no longer optional after 50The case for practicing short game on real grass, not just indoorsUsing nine-hole rounds as mental training, not just swing practiceWhat “winning” actually means in a long-term golf journeyIf you’ve ever made a plan and wondered why nothing changed, this one might help you find The Missing Links.

    Ep. 109 The Dice of Truth & a 14-Hole Tease

    Send us a text The Missing Links Golf Show is back for the 2nd episode of 2026, and it doesn’t take long for controversy to strike. Listener feedback questions the Yearly Championship countback rules, sparking a debate that leads to a bold (and slightly ridiculous) proposal: a virtual playoff decided by the Dice of Truth. The Pilgrims are officially invited to help decide how ties should be settled going forward. Steve then breaks down a tough but encouraging round at Royal Dubbo on a hot afternoon, highlighted by 14 consecutive holes of solid golf. The discussion dives into strokes gained data, why it can be misleading without context, and how one bad swing can distort an entire round’s stats. The boys also explore short-game fear, decision-making versus data, practice tools, speed training, and early goals for 2026—including health, fitness, and competitive plans. As always, the message is clear: progress isn’t always obvious on the scorecard—but it’s happening!
