    Coaching in the Age of Information Overload | Tour Coach

    Tony is joined by Justin Parsons and Wayne Flint for a Golf Coach Development / Tour Coach round table, answering questions from coaches in the chat. They cover whether it’s harder to build a player’s confidence now that Instagram and YouTube tips are everywhere, how JP is helping a young pro get out of a swing-thought rabbit hole, how to use the off-season to set direction with a player, and what shaped JP’s early career as a teacher (volume first, presentation second, knowledge third). They also take on the distance obsession in college golf and the shrinking short game, the pros and cons of specialist short game coaches, and why you can’t make a mule a race horse, but you can make a racing mule.

    Your Golf Isn’t Mental, It’s Mismatched | Tour Coach

    Tony sits down with Sean Foley for a candid conversation about what really separates good golf from great. Sean has spent the fall giving leadership talks to corporate audiences, and he explains why he treats every tour player like a business, with a product, a sales force, and a management team. In this episode: Why the word “mental” gets thrown around too easily, and why the real problem is often the swing or the conditionsA TrackMan example: the same player gained 9.8 strokes in one test and lost 8.5 in another, a 17-shot difference with no change in how the swing looked on videoTraining for variety, such as playing the back, middle, and front tees for score on the same dayAccepting adversity, with a story about a delayed flight and how that mindset carries over to a bad roundWhy positivity only goes so far, but negativity always hurtsThe “You’re Not As Good As You Think You Are” proximity sheet, and the stories of Hunter Mahan and Kenny PerryWhy you should compare yourself to the Zach Johnsons of the game, not the Scottie SchefflersThanks to StayCay, our sponsor, for supporting Tour Coach.

    Simplify Your Game with Dr. Greg Cartin | Tour Coach

    Tony sits down with sports psychologist Dr. Greg Cartin for the mental side of getting better at golf. They cover practicing more like you play (one ball on the putting green, a new club every shot), why most golfers quit changes too soon, how to build an “acceptable zone of failure” into your round, and why the best players don’t make more birdies, they make fewer errors. Plus a story about pulling the flags out for nine holes and watching a 9-handicapper shoot 35, and what to do when you feel completely lost.

    Jim McLean on the X-Factor & Golf Swing Myths | Tour Coach

    Jim McLean joins Tony Ruggiero to revisit the X-Factor, break down golf swing sequencing, and explain why “keep your head still” can be misleading advice. In this episode of the Tour Coach Podcast on DewSweeper TV, Jim shares what great ball strikers have in common—and where their swings differ. The conversation covers pressure shifts, the feet-first downswing sequence, grip and setup fundamentals, and swing drills that help recreational golfers feel a better motion. Jim also shares stories from his book, The Houston Dynasty: Tales from College Golf’s Greatest Team, reflects on the coaches who shaped his teaching, and discusses how technology and mentoring continue to influence golf instruction.

    Tour Coach: The Eye Dominance Secret Behind Nicklaus and Tiger's Swings

    Tony and longtime collaborator Matt Rudy sit down with Richard Hughes — an optometrist, sports vision researcher, and author of Visual Edge Golf Performance — to unpack something almost nobody talks about in golf instruction: eye dominance. Richard breaks down "type one" vs. "type two" dominance, why 53% of the best players in the world (including Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods) are cross-dominant compared to just 30% of the general population, and why forcing a player into a "textbook" setup can wreck a swing that their eyes have quietly compensated for over years. Includes a simple test you can do at home to find your own dominant eye.

    Stop Reacting to Every Shot | Tour Coach

    Tony and Jackson spend a day at Dutchman's Pipe working with a full slate of tour players headed into Q-school season — Rafa Campos, Ty Gingrich, James Earl, and more — and break down the four things that actually move the needle, for tour pros and weekend golfers alike: dialing in posture and setup, building a real pre-shot process, learning not to react to every miss, and actually understanding what you're working on and why. Plus Colby's "electric fence" drill for fixing early extension, and a great story about keeping junior golf in perspective.

    Tour Coach | Golf Live with Justin Parsons & Tony Ruggiero

    This week Tony is joined by Coach Justin Parsons — mentor to Ben Carr, Brandon Grace, Blades Brown, and Lucas Glover — on a Golf Live discussion to break down how tour players actually build their wedge game. Forget chasing perfect distances: JP walks through the "15-foot rule" (why even the best players on tour average just 15 feet from the hole inside 150 yards), how to build a wedge system around 5-yard gaps instead of guessing, and the "3 L rule" for reading any short game shot — Lie, Land, Leave. Plus a great story about a young player learning the hard way that temperature and altitude change everything.
