Episode 13: Making the Most of Winter Golf Practice (with Jeff Jones, PGA)

Jeff Jones is back on the Birdie Board podcast, and this time the conversation is all about winter practice and how to actually make it count. Corey and Jeff talk through why the off season can be the best time to improve, especially because you can slow down, stop obsessing over ball flight, and build real fundamentals that will hold up when spring arrives. Jeff breaks down what to prioritize during winter practice, including building speed, improving your starting position, and creating a simple, consistent routine that keeps you progressing even when it is cold and dark outside. They also dig into practical at home setups, why basic launch monitor metrics can be enough, and how short, frequent practice beats long sessions almost every time. If you want to show up in March or April with more confidence, more consistency, and a more reliable swing, this episode gives you a realistic plan you can actually stick to.

Episode 12: Golf, Spine Health, And Preventing Back Pain

In this winter training episode, Corey sits down with Dr. Mike Carnuccio, a doctor of physical therapy, to unpack what every golfer should know about the spine. Mike breaks down the basic mechanics of the spine, how the discs actually work, and why rotation is both the magic of the golf swing and a major source of risk for back injuries. From disc bulges, herniations, and nerve compression to real life examples like Will Zalatoris and Tiger Woods, Mike explains what is really happening when golfers hurt their backs. He then walks through practical ways to prevent injury, including off season training ideas, in season warm up routines, and why hip mobility matters just as much as spinal strength. If you have ever finished a round with a sore back, worry about long term spine health, or want to build a smarter winter golf routine, this conversation will give you a clearer understanding of your body and a simple plan to help you swing pain free longer. ⛳ Download the Birdie Board App (Free) Download from the Apple App Store Download from the Google Play Store Learn more at 🌐birdieboard.golf

Episode 11: Golf Rule Basics & Dropping Rules

In this episode of the Birdie Board podcast, Corey kicks off a winter friendly refresher on the rules of golf. He shares how learning the rules in a competitive league gave him confidence in his scorecard and helped him guide friends through tricky situations on the course.

He also explains the proper mechanics of taking a drop, common penalty scenarios when you drop incorrectly, and what to do when play is suspended for weather or lightning. Whether you are a casual weekend golfer or a little more serious about your score, this episode will help you understand the rules around dropping and basic situations so you can play more confidently, track your true progress, and get more out of every round with Birdie Board. ⛳ Download the Birdie Board App (Free) Download from the Apple App Store Download from the Google Play Store Learn more at 🌐birdieboard.golf

Episode 10: How a Simple Idea Became a Golf Training Aid

In Episode 10 of the Birdie Board Podcast, Corey talks with Steve, the founder of PathPal Golf, about how a simple on range frustration grew into a fully developed golf training aid. Steve walks through the entire journey, from noticing how hard it was to use alignment sticks on turf and mats, to researching drills, sketching early designs, and partnering with a CAD designer to build the first prototype. They dig into how 3d printing opened the door for rapid iteration, how feedback from top Golf Digest recognized instructors shaped the final product, and why versatility and real golfer problems sit at the center of PathPal’s design philosophy. If you have ever been curious about how golf products are created or you have your own idea you would love to bring to life, this episode is a behind the scenes look at turning a simple golf pain point into a practical training tool. ------ Learn more about PathPal golf: https://pathpalgolf.com/ Follow PathPal: https://www.instagram.com/pathpal_golf/ ⛳ Download the Birdie Board App (Free) Download from the Apple App Store Download from the Google Play Store Learn more at 🌐birdieboard.golf

Curious why golf gets under your skin and stays there? In this episode, Corey pulls back the curtain on the game’s “simple” basics to reveal the deeper stuff: character, history, design, language, and the mental rhythm that keeps players hooked for life. You’ll hear how a self-policed honor code shaped the sport, why we play 18 holes, where birdies and bogeys came from, how ball dimples changed the flight forever, and why handicaps are the genius math that lets friends of different skill levels compete fairly. We also touch on pace of play, the magic of your first pure strike, and a quick update on the latest Birdie Board release: feedback link in-app, festive holiday logo, and a new host control to manually override player handicaps for a match.
