Episode notes
Too Much Swing Info Hurts More Than Helps
- Consuming lots of golf-swing content often makes recreational golfers worse rather than better.
- Adam Young and Jon Sherman urge listeners to develop filters and think critically about which advice actually applies to them.
Confirm Relevance Before Trying Tips
- Check whether advice is relevant to your specific problem before trying it.
- Ask whether the tip addresses your root cause (not just a visible symptom) before implementing it.

- Adam describes a slicer whose buddy told him to shift weight, which would have worsened his slice.
- The correct approach was to fix the open clubface first because shifting weight would increase an out-to-in path and open face presentation.
