GASP fundamentals: Grip, Alignment, Stance, Posture

In this episode, Adam and I take a deep dive into when you actually shouldn’t hit driver—because despite what modern analytics say, there are times when it makes sense to leave it in the bag. We talk through how to evaluate risk vs. reward off the tee, why certain holes (like tight doglegs and pinched fairways) punish driver, and how to make smarter decisions that protect your score. Adam also shares one of his best breakdowns of beginner fundamentals—grip, ball position, posture, and the common mistakes that create chaos at impact. I talk about watching my son learn the game and what that reveals about instinct, concept, and strike. Whether you’re a 20-handicap or scratch, this episode will help you understand the “Big Three” skills—face control, strike location, and ground contact—that actually separate good golfers from everyone else.
