We challenge the myth that more greens alone lowers scores and show how wedge control and impact-focused coaching change a golfer’s ceiling. Mike shares a short game test, a simple wedge matrix, and a speed move that adds real yardage without chasing positions.

• Mike’s journey from player to coach and key mentors
• Fixing root causes using steep and shallow components
• Why ball flight and communication beat perfect positions
• The Howard Twitty wedge matrix and scoring lessons
• A short game test that sets a real baseline
• Building one partial wedge swing for known yardages
• Pronation and wrist action for faster clubhead speed
• Practicing what affects score, not what flatters ego

We unpack how John Erickson decoded Ben Hogan’s real mechanics and turned them into a trainable system that manages shaft pressure, not poses. The talk gets practical with drills, gear choices, and practice habits that produce penetrating flight and stable clubface control.

• early wrist set to remove transition pressure
• tripping the shaft to the 4:30 line
• frozen right elbow and low‑left exit
• delayed torso rotation to hold shaft flex
• corkscrew backswing and free ride down drills
• explosion into finish for faster left shoulder
• under‑plane early, up to plane late concept
• flatter lie angles and heavier heads for stability
• practice minimalism: drills over buckets
• biasing misses short‑right for scoring
• ABS framework vs Hogan‑specific modules
• student progress: mid‑ and long‑iron gains

John Erickson, father of Advanced Ball Striking, reveals how he cracked the Hogan code by examining the science behind Ben Hogan's legendary ball striking technique.

• Heavy club heads (around 16 ounces compared to modern 10-11 ounce drivers) helped Hogan generate power through body rotation rather than arm speed
• Flat lie angles (6-8 degrees flatter than standard) provided greater accuracy by reducing the possibility of left misses
• "Tripping the shaft" at transition creates the distinctive flattening move that allowed Hogan to approach the ball from inside
• Weight remains on the right foot longer than commonly taught, with a powerful push-off similar to a baseball pitcher
• Hogan stayed "closed" much longer in the downswing, maintaining shoulder and hip alignment until deeper in the downswing
• The distinction between a "hitter's release" (maintaining shaft flex through impact) versus a "swinger's release" (timing the straightening of the shaft)
• Cupped wrist at the top opens the clubface, allowing aggressive rotation through impact without fear of hooking
• Proper sequencing involves lateral movement first, then rotation, contrary to modern teaching about early hip rotation

We welcome USA Walker Cup Captain Nathan Smith to discuss the upcoming matches at Cypress Point Club, the first time this iconic course has hosted the event since 1981 and will be televised for the public to see its splendor.

• Nathan Smith brings his perspective as a four-time US Mid-Amateur champion who has played in four Masters
• Cypress Point's Alister MacKenzie design philosophy offers "an easy birdie or a hard-fought bogey" on every hole
• The course demands strategic precision with properly played angles rather than just power
• Each section of the course presents different challenges—forest holes (1-6), dune holes (7-12), and the iconic ocean holes (13-18)
• The 16th hole requires a 230-yard carry over the Pacific Ocean and is considered by many to be the greatest par 3 in golf
• The dune sand at Cypress is particularly penal with a "90% chance you're not going to be able to advance it very far"
• Match play format perfectly suits the course design with constant risk-reward decisions where "no lead is going to be safe"
• The 13th green exemplifies MacKenzie's genius with a design that "plays like six small greens" despite its modest size
• Morning fog potentially giving way to afternoon wind can completely transform how the course plays within hours

Tune in to Golf Channel this weekend to witness this spectacular venue and see the world's best amateur golfers compete in the 50th Walker Cup.

Riley Andrews, owner of Elite Golf Schools, explains his approach to teaching golf as a highly individualized process rather than forcing students into a predetermined method.

• Understanding that different PGA Tour players have vastly different swings but achieve similar results
• Teaching based on three "global laws": Woo-Woo (rhythm/tensegrity), Spirals (myofascial lines), and Geometry (club relationships)
• Using fascia and spiral lines to generate effortless power rather than muscle-based movements
• Focusing on ribcage rotation rather than hip rotation as the primary engine of the golf swing
• Recognizing that students need different amounts of information based on their learning style
• Viewing coaching as service where the student's needs come before the coach's ego
• Developing each player's unique "fingerprint" while improving functional movement
• Creating a proximal-to-distal mapping where body rotation leads club movement
• Understanding that all elite players shallow the club but through different methods
• Differentiating between passive release (angular force) and active release (alpha force)

Swedish golf coach Petter Tarbe shares his groundbreaking approach called "Forgotten Master Moves" which focuses on rediscovering the efficient swing techniques used by golf legends from the 1940s-1960s. His research reveals that focusing on club intentions rather than body mechanics creates more powerful, injury-free golf swings that feel natural and require less effort.

• Moving from positional training to intention-based motion
• Understanding the key difference between base level and master level golf
• Using perceived power in the club to create a "whipping" downswing
• Keeping a straighter spine angle to prevent injury and create more reaction
• Learning how elite players throughout history have separated feel from reality
• Discovering how proper intentions create forces that automatically produce the correct body movements
• Creating simpler, more effective swings that can perform under pressure

Karl Morris, a performance coach based in the UK and host of the Mind Caddy podcast, shares insights on developing effective golf mindsets and transferring range skills to the course. He explains how separating training and playing mindsets can help golfers access their true abilities during competition.

• Two distinct mindsets needed: training (skill development) and playing (skill access)
• Five potential "one-points" of attention: target, ball flight, golf club, body, or something unrelated
• The red dot technique - placing a colored dot on clubface to improve awareness and impact control
• Becoming comfortable with variability and using errors as learning feedback
• Explaining shots with facts (dot was late) rather than opinions (I'm terrible)
• Categorizing shots as ones (good), twos (good enough), and threes (poor shots)
• Pre-allocating a certain number of poor shots before playing to reduce emotional reactions
• Ryan Fonk's breakthrough from shifting from avoiding mistakes to pursuing good shots
• The power of possibility thinking: "Is it possible this next shot could be a good one?"
• Simplicity often trumps complexity in effective golf performance

We dive deep into the subconscious barriers keeping you from reaching your golf potential. Paul Salter, performance coach and hypnotherapist, reveals how childhood programming creates an "upper limit" to success and provides practical strategies to break through mental blocks.

• Our subconscious controls 95% of daily actions including performance under pressure
• First seven years of life program our belief systems while we're in a "theta" brainwave state
• Self-imposed mental limits are rooted in fear of standing out or changing identity
• Technical proficiency (swing mechanics) matters less as you approach scratch level
• The key difference between elite players and the rest is emotional regulation
• Pattern interrupts like Tiger's "10-foot rule" help reset after mistakes
• Visualization should include both perfect shots AND recovering from mistakes
• Scratch golfers demonstrate greater acceptance and detachment from outcomes
• Hypnotherapy provides access to rewrite limiting subconscious beliefs
• Top performers find safety in risk-taking and competitive edges

Howard Falco joins us to discuss how awareness—both internal and external—can transform your performance on the golf course and beyond. We explore how our subconscious mind often drives our actions, and how becoming aware of these hidden forces can dramatically improve our game and our lives.

• Acceptance is the first step to improvement—recognizing your current abilities without judgment
• Most amateurs avoid weaknesses while pros actively seek them out to transform them
• Our identity and self-perception create invisible boundaries on our performance
• True improvement requires changing how you fundamentally see yourself as a player
• Curiosity rather than anger is key when facing challenges on the course
• Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and other champions win through mindset, not just physical skill
• The most successful players compete against history, not just other players
• Asking yourself "Why not me?" can reveal hidden limitations to overcome
• The "bounce back" statistics of tour players show how quickly they return to their identity
• Self-awareness is potentially the next leap in human evolution

Discover why your mental approach might be sabotaging your golf game with renowned sports psychologist Dr. Raymond Pryor. In this profound exploration of golf psychology, we uncover the concept of "stable confidence" – self-given permission to perform freely without guarantees – and how it transforms performance under pressure.

Dr. Pryor, author of “Golf Beneath the Surface”, challenges conventional wisdom about golf psychology, explaining why common practices like distraction techniques and positive self-talk often fail long-term. Instead, he reveals how acceptance of uncertainty and potential failure actually creates the psychological space needed to access your best skills when it matters most. This counterintuitive approach explains why you might play brilliantly after a terrible front nine – you've finally accepted your situation instead of resisting it.

One of the most powerful insights concerns the relationship between identity and performance. When we attach our self-worth to being "a good golfer," we create an unsustainable psychological burden that manifests as anxiety during important rounds. Dr. Pryor offers a more sustainable alternative: building identity around action-oriented traits rather than outcomes we can't fully control.

Whether you're struggling with performance anxiety, inconsistency, or simply want to enjoy golf more deeply, this episode provides practical wisdom for transforming your relationship with the game. Dr. Pryor's approach isn't just about shooting lower scores – it's about finding freedom, authenticity and joy in the process, regardless of outcomes.

What would it feel like to step onto the first tee completely comfortable in your own skin, accepting all possible outcomes while still fully committed to playing your best? That's the question at the heart of this conversation – and the answer might change your game forever.

Tim O'Connor shares his journey from golf-obsessed amateur to performance coach, revealing how the mental game is often what separates good players from great ones.

• Getting into golf initially as a caddy, observing and learning from scratch players
• Moving from technical, "tab A into slot B" approaches to more instinctual, joy-focused golf
• Understanding that mistaking the golf ball for the target creates unnecessary tension
• Recognizing how we typically view golf as a test of competency rather than an experience
• Exploring "inside-out thinking" and finding happiness from within rather than external results
• Balancing competitive drive with present-moment awareness
• Learning to embrace negative thoughts rather than fighting them
• Using awareness as a curative tool to diffuse performance anxiety
• Practicing "quiet mind" putting by simply enjoying your stroke without technical thoughts

John Novosel from Tour Tempo joins us to discuss how discovering the consistent 3-to-1 tempo ratio in professional golf swings revolutionized understanding of what makes great players successful. He explains how this measurable, quantifiable element can be easily adopted by amateur golfers to drastically improve their game without complex swing changes.

• Tour Tempo methodology identifies the precise timing ratios (frames of video) found in professional golf swings
• The 3-to-1 ratio (backswing to downswing) appears consistently among top players like Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy
• "Low and slow" backswing is actually counterproductive compared to the faster tempos pros use
• Proper tempo helps eliminate swing thoughts and gets golfers out of their analytical left brain into their athletic right brain
• The concept of one-to-one ratio from backswing to finish creates natural rhythm throughout the entire swing
• Tempo training improves ground reaction forces and connection to the ground
• Using resistance (through tools like the Speedball) helps develop proper bracing at impact for maximum energy transfer
• For aging golfers, maintaining swing speed requires proper tempo, mobility work, and strategic strength training
• Tour Tempo app provides audible tones to guide your swing tempo in real time
