    Ep 173 - Wednesday Wisdom - The Benefits Of A Golf Trip & How Your Wedges Might Not Be Correct!

    Wednesday Wisdom ⛳️🌍 — The Real Benefits of a Golf Trip Away This week’s Wednesday Wisdom came off the back of one of the most enjoyable golf trips I’ve ever had — heading over to the North Island of New Zealand and experiencing some of the best golf courses in the world. But it wasn’t just about the views, the laughs, or the bucket-list rounds… it really highlighted the performance benefits of getting away from your home club and testing your game in different conditions. One of the biggest takeaways? 👉 Your wedges that work beautifully at home… might be completely wrong elsewhere. At your home club you get used to: • The firmness of the turf • Grass type around the greens • How the club interacts with the ground • Bounce and grind matching your conditions Then you jump on a plane and suddenly you’re faced with: • Tight links lies • Different sand textures • Grainy or wispy grass • Firmer or softer turf And all of a sudden, those trusty wedges can feel like they’ve got the wrong bounce, wrong sole, or wrong leading edge for the job. That’s where golf trips become one of the best learning environments you can get. You start to: • Develop adaptability • Learn new shot options • Understand turf interaction better • Get creative around greens • Build real on-course problem-solving skills It’s why the best players in the world travel so well — they’ve learned to adjust their equipment and technique to suit the conditions in front of them. Personally, the North Island trip was unforgettable. World-class golf, incredible landscapes, and a constant reminder that golf isn’t played in a vacuum — it’s played on different grasses, in different winds, and on different soils. So if you ever get the chance to take your game on the road… Do it. Because the lessons you learn away from home might be the ones that improve your scoring the most when you return.

    Ep 172 - My Childhood Idol - Rob Willis

    In this episode, I sit down with someone who was a genuine club legend when I was growing up at New Brighton Golf Club — Rob Willis. Rob’s playing career is highlighted by winning the 1988 NSW Amateur Championship before making the jump into professional golf, competing on the Australian Tour and gaining opportunities to play overseas. We dive into what tournament golf was really like in his era — the nerves, the pressure, the practice habits, and what it was like teeing it up alongside some of the game’s biggest names. Rob also shares honest reflections on what he would have done differently with today’s knowledge, how his understanding of performance has evolved over 30+ years in the game, and how he knew it was time to walk away from full-time tour life. This is a brilliant conversation full of perspective for competitive golfers, juniors chasing the dream, and anyone who loves the journey of the game.

    Ep 171 - Wednesday Wisdom - Hand Brake or Foot Brake?

    Ever jumped into a new car and suddenly the hand brake is gone… replaced by a foot brake? You know how to drive. You know how to stop. But for a while, everything feels awkward, slow, and uncomfortable. In this episode, we talk about why learning new habits and skills always feels worse before it feels better — whether that’s changing something in your golf swing, your practice habits, or even something as simple as adapting to a new car. We break down how the brain actually learns new patterns, why performance often dips during change, and why so many people quit right before the breakthrough happens. If you’ve ever felt frustrated trying to change a habit — in golf or in life — this episode will help you understand why that feeling is normal and how to push through it the smart way.

    Ep 170 - Adam Bland - Life on Tour: Winning, Pressure & Reality

    In this episode, I’m joined by Australian professional golfer Adam Bland, a multiple-time international tour winner who’s competed across Australasia, Japan, Europe, and North America. Adam takes us inside what it’s really like to win on tour — from the emotions and nerves coming down the stretch on Sunday, to standing over shots that can change your career. We break down what he was thinking on the final few holes, how he managed pressure in winning moments, and what separated his best weeks from the rest. We also dive into the grind of life as a touring professional, the realities aspiring pros don’t see, and the lessons Adam now passes on after transitioning into coaching at Glenelg Golf Club. This is a must-listen for junior golfers, parents, and serious players who want an honest look at what it takes to close tournaments and survive professional golf.

    Ep 167 - Nick Chertock - The Most Knowledgeable Non-Coach in Golf Instruction

    In this episode, Brent sits down with Nick Chertock — an accountant by trade, lifelong mid-handicap golfer, and one of the most influential non-coaches in the golf instruction world. As co-founder of Open Forum, Nick has spent the last 10–20 years immersed in conversations with some of the best golf coaches on the planet, asking the questions many golfers and coaches never think to ask. Despite not being a touring professional or teaching full-time, Nick has become a trusted connector, discussion starter, and advocate for smarter golf improvement. In this conversation, Brent and Nick dive into what Nick has learned from decades of observing elite coaches, whether all that knowledge has actually improved his own golf game, and the dangers of information overload for both golfers and instructors. They also share behind-the-scenes stories from time spent around world-class coaches, explore how great coaches filter information differently, and discuss where golf instruction is heading next. This episode is a must-listen for golfers and coaches who want to cut through the noise, think more clearly, and improve with intention rather than overwhelm.

    Ep 166 - Jimmy Emanuel -The Other Side of the Ropes: Golf Through a Journalist’s Eyes

    This episode is a little different — and that’s exactly why I wanted to do it. Today I’m joined by Jimmy Emanuel, a golf journalist, commentator, and podcaster who’s worked across Golf Australia magazines and spent years talking with some of Australia’s best golfers. Rather than coaching swing mechanics or tour prep, this conversation pulls back the curtain on how golf stories are told — and what players, parents, and coaches can learn from the media side of the game. We talk about:How Jimmy got into golf journalism and commentaryWhat he’s learned from interviewing elite Australian golfersWhat separates players who “make it” from those who don’t — from a journalist’s perspectiveHow golf media has changed with podcasts, social media, and digital platformsHow junior golfers and parents should think about media, storytelling, and the bigger golf ecosystemThe realities (and misconceptions) of working in golf mediaThis is a behind-the-scenes look at the game from someone who doesn’t coach or play professionally — but has seen the sport from angles most golfers never experience. If you’re a junior golfer, parent, coach, or just someone curious about how golf really works beyond the ropes, this episode will give you a fresh perspective.
