Episode notes
Indoor Vs Outdoor Speed Test
- Mark tested his launch monitor on the course and noticed he was slower outdoors than indoors.
- He linked much of the drop to being colder and not as physically warmed up as during indoor sessions.
Use Quick Warmups Before The First Tee
- Do a short, focused warm-up (even a five-minute Theragun routine) before your round to boost first-tee speed.
- Lou references a study showing that this kind of prep increases clubhead speed on the first tee.
Greg's Extended Cold-Weather Routine
- Greg described long pre-round routines including 30–40 minutes in the fitness area on cold days.
- He uses extended warm-ups to prevent feeling 'dipped in molasses' and to keep speed consistent.
