    You’re Not Chunking or Thinning It - You’re Missing Your Arc Depth

    In this episode, Jon and Adam unpack one of golf’s most overlooked fundamentals — arc depth, the vertical dimension of your swing that determines whether you strike it pure, fat, or thin. They explain how it differs from attack angle and plane, why it’s the “hidden force” behind contact quality, and how you can train it using simple feedback drills. Jon also shares lessons from a conversation with Sir Nick Faldo about confidence under pressure, preparation, and finding a go-to shot when it matters most. The two finish by debating how launch monitors have changed the way golfers learn — and whether chasing numbers is helping or hurting our ability to play instinctively.

    Why Golf Makes You Angry (and How to Stop Sabotaging Your Game)

    In this episode, Jon opens up about a recent tournament where he lost his temper on the course for the first time in years and what it revealed about perfectionism, ego, and expectation management in golf. He and Adam break down why anger shows up for golfers of every level, from the feeling of helplessness to tying our self-worth to our scores. The conversation explores how to recognize when frustration crosses the line into self-sabotage, and how philosophy and rational thinking can help you regain control. Whether you’re slamming clubs or silently boiling inside, this episode will help you understand the roots of golf anger and how to use it to play (and live) better.

    Concept vs. Mechanics: Why Your Swing Changes Never Stick

    Most golfers think new equipment is the answer, but the truth is one lesson can often do more than a $1,000 driver. In this episode, Adam and Jon dig into why so many players struggle to change their swing, the role that concepts and external cues play, and how Adam fixed a 60-yard slice in just a few swings with a simple drill. We also tackle a listener question about match play strateg - how to handle the mental side of competing against a friend and avoid the common traps golfers fall into. If you’ve ever wondered why swing changes feel impossible or how to sharpen your competitive mindset, this episode has plenty of practical takeaways you can bring straight to the course.

    The Mount Rushmore of Golf Fears (And How to Beat Them) w/ Josh Nichols

    Golf mental coach Josh Nichols joins us for a deep dive into the real mental game: separating “band-aid” tactics from the bedrock beliefs that actually free you up to play. Josh shares what he learned on the way to the U.S. Mid-Am final, plus why most golfers’ biggest fears quietly run the show. You’ll hear practical tools for pre-round prep, handling first-tee nerves, designing a pre-shot routine you can trust, and the underrated skill of “accessing” your ability under pressure. We also get into identity, values, and when doing nothing (and letting variance normalize) is the smartest move. Perfect for competitive players and weekend golfers who want confidence without playing tight. Check out Josh's podcast, The Mental Golf Show. Learn more about his coaching on his website here.

    Do Golf Balls Matter That Much & Common Myths Busted

    To submit questions you want us to tackle for future episodes, visit: https://adamyounggolf.com/survey Jon and Adam kick off with a detailed look at golf balls - whether premium models like the Pro V1X truly offer an advantage, what the data says about distance, spin, and aerodynamics, and how much ball choice really matters for different skill levels. They share insights from Ballnamic testing, personal fittings, and quality control issues in direct-to-consumer models, highlighting when spending more is worth it and when it’s just marketing hype. In the second half, they tackle some of golf’s most entrenched myths, from rate of closure and “squaring the face” to the old “drive for show, putt for dough."
