    Ep 242 - Midweek Wisdom - Could This Tip Help You Hit More Greens?

    Please Complete The Listener Survey Here Could hitting more greens be as simple as measuring to the back edge and taking 5–10 metres off that number? In this week’s Wednesday Wisdom, Brent Dale explores a simple approach to club selection that could help you stop leaving approach shots short and give yourself more birdie putts. We discuss why chasing the flag can hurt your scores, how allowing for your typical strike can change your club choice, and when trouble over the back means you need a different plan. A simple adjustment to your thinking could make a big difference to your greens in regulation.

    Ep 240 - Wednesday Wisdom - Skill Transfer & What You Can Learn From Tiger/Hank Haney

    Please Complete The Listener Survey Here Ever wondered why you can execute a new swing change perfectly on the driving range, but struggle to reproduce it on the golf course? In this week's Wednesday Wisdom, I revisit a concept from Hank Haney's book The Big Miss, where he discusses the different stages of transferring a new skill from practice into competition. From the driving range to practice rounds, tournament golf and eventually major championships, each step brings a new level of pressure and a potential drop in how consistently you can execute that skill.We also touch on the importance of fact-checking AI. When I asked ChatGPT about Haney's concept, it gave me seven stages, despite my recollection being five and another version suggesting four. A timely reminder that AI can be a fantastic resource, but you shouldn't automatically assume everything it tells you is correct.The big takeaway? Just because you can do it on the range doesn't mean you've mastered it. True skill development is about learning to transfer that technique into increasingly challenging environments, until it becomes reliable when it matters most. A great reminder for golfers, parents and coaches to be patient with the learning process and understand that improvement isn't always immediately reflected on the scorecard.

    Ep 238 - Are You Practicing or Hitting Balls?

    Please Complete The Listener Survey Here Are You Practicing or Just Hitting Balls? A bucket of balls and an hour at the range doesn’t automatically mean you’ve practised. In this episode of the Your Golf Performance Podcast, I talk about the difference between purposeful practice and simply whacking balls with no clear direction. If you don’t know what you’re working on, what you’re trying to achieve or how you’ll measure success, what are you actually improving? Before your next range session, ask yourself: Am I here to hit balls, or am I here to get better?

    EP 237 - Hannah Gregg: The Reality of Chasing Professional Golf

    Please Complete The Listener Survey Here Professional golfer Hannah Gregg joins the Your Golf Performance Podcast to share the reality of chasing a career at the highest level of the game. Hannah takes us through her journey from college golf at Sonoma State and the University of Nevada to turning professional, navigating the developmental tours and ultimately earning status on the Ladies European Tour. We dive into the side of professional golf that fans don't always see — the financial pressures, missed cuts, travel, expectations and the challenge of learning how to compete when you don't have your best game. Hannah also discusses the work that goes on away from the course, including strength and conditioning, nutrition, recovery and the mental skills required to perform under pressure. Away from tournament golf, Hannah has built a significant social media following while also co-founding Short Game Gains, giving her a unique perspective on balancing professional golf, content creation and running a business. We also chat about her relationship with Tour Tee, the realities of building a personal brand while competing professionally, and what she has learned throughout the highs and lows of chasing her goals. A great conversation about professional golf, performance, resilience, business and everything that happens behind the scenes of life on tour.
