    Tour Coach | Playing to Your Strengths & Developing Your Game with Andy Ogletree

    In this episode of the Tour Coach Podcast on DewSweepers TV, professional golfer Andy Ogletree joins the show to discuss his recent experiences on tour and share valuable insights into his approach to the game. He talks about how taking a step back and prioritizing rest can benefit performance, and delves into the critical role that a strong mental game, optimism, and fundamental consistency play in sustaining a long professional career. Andy also outlines his strategy for transitioning into a more simplified, one-dimensional style of play following a wrist injury, explaining why minimizing errors is key to successful course management. He offers a breakdown of his specific preparation routines for practice rounds, including how he analyzes wind conditions and past data to avoid surprises during a tournament. Additionally, he provides an in-depth look at his highly structured putting practice, detailing the exact training tools and drills he uses daily to keep his stroke reliable. Finally, Andy reflects on the unique lessons, focus, and work ethic he observed firsthand while spending time around golf legends Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson.

    Tour Coach | Boring Golf is Good Golf

    Dutchman's Pipe near Lexington, Kentucky for a "DewSweeper Escape" retreat weekend. Guests include PGA Tour caddy legend Coop (Donald Cooper), Bluebell Country Club director of instruction Conner Luke, Tour Coach podcast regular David Perkins (fresh off a medical and getting back to competing on the Korn Ferry Tour), and golf writer Matt Rudy. The conversation covers the unglamorous truth about tournament golf: boring golf is good golf. They break down why managing a bad round—turning a potential 78 into a 69 or 70—separates the best from everyone else, why missing the green with a wedge or making a triple bogey is the real killer, and how elite players like Scotty Scheffler obsess over the smallest details (like a half-inch grip adjustment) while also staying coachable and open to refinement. Coop shares caddy wisdom about decision-making under pressure and the "chess game" mentality. They dig into how coaches now have to be "concierges" filtering the firehose of Instagram tips and golf content, and discuss the difference between a rigid system and a belief structure. They also riff on Gwen Stefani, Rod Stewart vs. Madonna, and what separates a plus-3 handicap from a Korn Ferry Tour player.

    Tour Coach | Austin Hitt - Believe You’re Good Enough

    On this episode of Tour Coach, Tony Ruggiero sits down with Austin Hitt — fresh off a trip to "Mo Vegas" (Mobile, AL) — for a wide-ranging conversation on what actually separates good players from great ones. Austin breaks down the mental side of competitive golf: why belief in yourself might be 80-90% of the battle, how he uses money games and putting contests to simulate real tournament pressure, and the lesson from his college teammate Ben Griffin that changed his approach to practice (and his golf clubs) for good. They also dig into stories about PGA Tour players Ryan Gerard, Ben Griffin, and Rafa Campos, talk through Austin's approach to hitting fairways off the tee, and get into why Austin runs his junior camps with one hard rule: no dickheads allowed.

    Wedge Fitting & Bunker Secrets + A Hank Johnson Classic

    Tony Ruggiero sits down with Jackson Koert — one of the sharpest young teachers in the game — to dig into one of the most overlooked parts of club fitting: wedges. Most golfers grab one off the shelf and hope for the best. Tony and Jackson break down why that's costing you strokes, how to get properly fit starting in the bunker, and why the grind and bounce on the bottom of your club matters more than you think. Then, Tony goes back into the archives and dusts off a classic segment from the old DewSweepers Radio days — Hank Johnson, PGA Teacher of the Year and Golf Magazine Top 50, breaking down the history of the wedge, the Gene Sarazan story, and exactly how bounce works and why it changes everything around the greens.

    Culture, Intent & Zero Technology | Inside the DewSweepers Elite Retreat

    Tour Coach wraps up the VIP Elite Performance Retreat at Dutchman's Pipe — and Tony Ruggiero is joined by Ryan Webb and special guest Charles Woods, who made the trip all the way from London to be part of it. Charles shares what made this retreat unlike anything he's seen in golf instruction: six coaches in the same space, no egos, no alpha posturing — just a shared commitment to developing players at every level. From Kevin Kirk's intent-based practice model, to Wayne Flint's ability to deliver complex changes in language anyone can understand, to Dr. Greg Cartin's organic approach to performance psychology — the guys break down the key takeaways any golfer or coach can apply. Plus, Tony sounds off on why "swing or swing" comparisons are doing junior golfers more harm than good.
