JOIN THE TITLEIST GIVEAWAY HERE🎙️ Wednesday Wisdom 🎙️ This week I spoke about the power of on-course practice and how to make it more effective:Take only a half set of clubs – it forces creativity and shot-making.Work on half swings and shorter swings – these build control, tempo, and consistency.Focus on guiding your way around the course instead of just hitting full shots.Approach the game like an artist – shaping shots, managing lies, and finding solutions.The goal isn’t just to hit the ball; it’s to learn how to play golf.JOIN THE TITLEIST GIVEAWAY HERE🚨 Podcast Partner: TRUE PROTEINI’m proud to partner with TRUE PROTEIN, the go-to supplement brand trusted by elite athletes and weekend warriors alike.

We also cover some bonus gold: the biggest mistakes amateurs make on the course and in their swings, what separates great players from those who crumble under pressure, and why his Instagram is a must-follow for golfers looking for real, no-nonsense advice.

Ep 136 - Wednesday Wisdom - Quick Tips or Long-Term Gains? Cutting Through the Golf BS
This week, I dive into the world of quick tips—those little nuggets of advice that can sometimes make a big difference on the golf course.With a trained eye, I can sort through the noise (and the bullshit) that gets thrown around online to highlight what’s actually helpful. While quick tips can definitely help in the moment, I also share why lasting improvement comes from sticking with the drills and guidance you’ve been given by a PGA professional. In a world obsessed with instant gratification, golf teaches us the value of patience and delayed rewards. If you want to truly build consistency and long-term success in your game, the smart move is to commit to the process rather than chasing the next “magic fix.”JOIN THE TITLEIST GIVEAWAY HEREWe love having Titleist as our main partner of the show! www.titleist.com.au 🚨 Podcast Partner: TRUE PROTEINI’m proud to partner with TRUE PROTEIN, the go-to supplement brand trusted by elite athletes and weekend warriors alike.

Ep 134 - Wednesday Wisdom - Try This Next Time You Practice!
JOIN THE TITLEIST GIVEAWAY HEREWednesday Wisdom – Performance PracticeThis week I dive into the importance of performance practice and share a simple short game test you can use to measure your skills and track progress over time. The test covers different areas of your short game with a focus on proximity to the hole:5-foot putts – Count how many you hole.10m chip and run – Hit 10 balls, measure how far each finishes from the hole, then work out your average and total distance.30m pitch – Same process as the chip and run: measure proximity, record average and total distance.40ft lag putt – Again, measure proximity, average distance, and total distance.(Optional) Bunker shot (10–15m) – Add this in if you have time, tracking it the same way.Once you’ve got your benchmarks, the goal is to keep improving month by month. This is the type of practice that bridges the gap between range work and real on-course performance.JOIN THE TITLEIST GIVEAWAY HERE🚨 Podcast Partner: TRUE PROTEINI’m proud to partner with TRUE PROTEIN, the go-to supplement brand trusted by elite athletes and weekend warriors alike.
