Episode notes
Body Function Often Limits Swing Potential
- Many golfers struggle mostly because of reduced body function: flexibility, rotation, posture, and balance.
- Restoring those functions often produces large, immediate gains in playability and distance.
Use Data To Lock In Changes
- Use objective ball-and-club data (e.g., TrackMan) to verify changes and motivate adherence.
- When players see factual improvements, they stick with changes more consistently.
Plan Every Shot With A Clear Success Measure
- Before every shot ask: what club, what target, and how hard will I swing to succeed on this single shot.
- Treat success as achieving that single-shot target instead of focusing on score or past mistakes.
