608 Josh Zander zandergolf.com> is back from last week’s episode, but this time he’s doing a live short game clinic at a charity tournament in San Francisco. This is the entire clinic that covers chipping, pitching, bunker shots and more.  In addition to the short game video we shared last week, there’s another short video from the clinic where Josh talks about the most effective practice session you can have when you distinguish between block practice and situational practice. Do you just pound ball after ball when at the range, or do you switch clubs with each ball, give yourself a target, and situation to attack? Josh has the answer in this video.      https://youtu.be/lBNRxpwTD54Have a question about your game or equipment?

603: We heard about Tim Yelverton in episode 599 with Brendon DeVore. Tim is Brendon’s favorite coach in his quest to be a better golfer, so it makes sense to hear what he has to say since we’re all on the same quest. Our focus on the conversation is short game and putting. Don’t miss any part of this conversation because Tim provides some great warm up drills and short game tips throughout.  The full video interview is available on our YouTube channel at https://youtu.be/t4ADcjc7DGMTim mentioned the short game video series that he's done with Brendon DeVore explaining how to build an elite short game.

Putting frustrates every golfer, no matter their skill level. If you’ve ever seen a Pro on the Tour miss a 2 foot putt, you know that everyone is susceptible and just as frustrated. PuttingZone.com founder Geoff Mangum is convinced that whatever method of reading putts your using won’t help because all you’re doing is guessing. But after decades of research into the science of dropping the ball in the cup, he has concluded that there are four elements to successful putting, and he’s trained teachers around the world to use adopt his theories. It’s been nearly five years since Geoff has been on Golf Smarter, and we happily welcome his return. To hear more from Geoff on Golf Smarter, check out episodes 37, 134, 313, 314, 349 & 350.  Here are more podcasts from SmarterPodcasts.com:If you're also a fan of baseball, especially baseball history and how it relates to today's game, please check out RADIO BASEBALL CARDS hosted by Hall of Fame Pitcher Don Drysdalehttps://www.smarterpodcasts.com/category/radio-baseball-cards/>GOOD DOG is a podcast focused on dog behavior, dog training, choosing a breed, dog care and feeding, as all as amazing stories about our four-legged best friends.
