The Perfect Amount of Information

I love listening to Kathy’s podcasts. She has great topics that pertain to all levels of golfers. As a fellow teaching professional I am always trying to express some of her insights to my own students. She gives great information that I can share with them. I love that they are less than 15-20 minutes long as well. (I can only focus that long anymore ) I only wish I had had something like this to help me when I was a younger player it would have made a huge difference in my game. It actually has me playing better now than I ever have. Keep Up the good work Kathy. I’m spreading your words of wisdom and your podcast to all my members.
