Better Golf Academy: Strategy to Awesome Golf
We've all hit that one perfect shot on a simulator and wanted to buy the club on the spot. It's one of the most expensive feelings in golf. In this episode I walk you through what real fitters actually look at, and it's not your best shot. You'll walk into your next fitting knowing exactly what to ask.

I always assumed a lighter shaft meant more speed, and then I found a test where most golfers hit it faster with the heaviest one. That surprised me, and it might change what you buy next. In this episode I break down what shaft weight and flex really do, in plain English, and how to test them yourself. Spoiler, the label on the shaft is the least helpful part.

I dug into the Trackman tour data and found that the women on the LPGA Tour get more out of their swing speed than the men on the PGA Tour. The reason why could be worth more yards than your last new driver. In this one I give you the simple driver window to look for on the sim, launch, spin, and attack angle, in plain English. You might be one small setup change away from your longest drives.

I found out the radar on your favorite golf simulator was built by an engineer who used to track missiles, and what it proved flipped decades of golf lessons upside down. Once you hear it, you'll never blame your slice on the same thing again. In this episode I break the whole wall of sim numbers down to the five that actually matter. If you've ever stared at that screen and just looked at carry distance, this one's for you.

Some of the greatest players who ever lived had swings a teacher would've "fixed" in five minutes. So why are the rest of us chasing a new swing tip every single week? This is the finale of our Every Shot Must Have a Purpose series, and I'm pulling the whole thing together into one simple game plan for your next three rounds. No new swing required, I promise.

You can probably describe your worst three-putt from last weekend in perfect detail, but can you name one great drive? There's a reason for that, and a famous psychology paper summed it up in five words. Today I'm talking about the Memory Box, the part of every shot that happens after the ball lands, and how one LPGA winner learned to manage it. Plus a two-minute habit you can do in the parking lot that changes what you bring to your next round.

Annika Sörenstam's coach used to ask her one question after rounds, and it had nothing to do with her score. When I heard it, I realized I'd never once tracked it in my whole golf life. In this episode I'm giving you a second scorecard to keep, and all it takes is a pencil and a few dots. Fair warning, your first number might be humbling. Mine sure was.

Bill Murray went on Joe Rogan's podcast and, of all things, gave credit to two golf coaches and a book for his handicap heading down. What he said about it is not what you'd expect from Carl the greenskeeper, and I can't stop thinking about it. Today I'm breaking down the invisible line that sits behind every golf shot, the one that separates thinking from swinging. Once you see it, you'll start noticing exactly where a lot of your bad shots are coming from.

What's the lowest score you actually believe you could shoot? In this episode I tell you about a coach in Sweden who asked her team one strange question in 1991, and the teenager in that room who went on to do something no woman in LPGA history had ever done. We're kicking off a brand new five-part series on Every Shot Must Have a Purpose, and I'm giving you a five-minute scorecard exercise that might change the number you think you're capable of. Fair warning, it might be lower than you're comfortable with.

Some days I play badly because I'm too wound up, and some days because I'm too relaxed, and for years I couldn't figure out which one was the real problem. Turns out Tiger Woods had an answer for that in his book, and a strange old experiment with mice explains exactly why. This is the finale of our Tiger series, so I also bring all five of his strategies together in one place. If you've been following along, this is the one that ties it all up.
