733: In our final week of honoring the memory of Tony Manzoni (RIP) on Golf Smarter, we split an episode from late 2015 up into three parts. Last week on Mulligans #48 was part 1 of this conversation that lasted a couple episodes. In this conversation we get into the various clubs, what you can do to improve your success, and what you can expect from each club in your bag. And as usual, Tony has incredible stories about Ben Hogan, whom Tony studied at length. The conclusion of this episode can be heard on #49 of Golf Smarter Mulligans.

732: In our third week of honoring the memory of Tony Manzoni (RIP) we split an episode from late 2015 up into two parts. This time you'll understand why Tony is so lovable as he shares stories of teaching Frank Sinatra, watching Ben Hogan play, the importance of getting fitted for clubs, and consistency is near impossible to attain. Part 2 of this episode can be heard on #48 of Golf Smarter Mulligans. It's actually the first of three episodes we'll do over this and next week on the topic of Taking Your Game to the Next Level: One Club at a Time. My playing partner, Neal, has posted this commentary in LinkedIn after our last round about playing 18 during the current pandemic crisis. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/golf-time-coronavirus-neal-polachek/?trackingId=WBuHxJuoSL2zLvU5SgrWnQ%3D%3DMake sure to order hand inspected, sanitized, premium used golf balls from TwoGuysWithGolfBalls.com before April 1, 2020 using "golfsmarter" at checkout for 20% any order over $49.

438: As we continue our March with Manzoni, we remember the incredible teachings of the late Tony Manzoni, one of the most sought after coaches on the GolfSmarter podcast as he shares his life long pursuit of Ben Hogan’s golf swing secret. Years ago Tony received a letter written in Hogan’s hand that explains his secret to becoming a great ball striker. Tony taught thousands of students and coached the College Of The Desert golf team to 28 Conference Championships in 29 years before he passed away in 2018 at 82. “The Lost Fundamental” is now available in paperback or Kindle format at https://www.amazon.com/Lost-Fundamental-Simple-Better-Forever-ebook/dp/B07MZFSPBW/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=tony+manzoni&qid=1583280371&sr=8-1 .
