060 - David Carey (Professional Golfer): Golf Hints and Professional Strategy - The Health Movement Podcast

Derek Episode 60

Professional golfer David Carey (“Mr. 57”) breaks down the realities of pro golf — from turning pro at 18 and grinding through the Alps/Challenge/DP World Tour pipeline, to training for speed without crushing fatigue, to smarter on-course decisions for real golfers.

In this episode:
• How live-streaming practice (TikTok) builds focus & accountability
• Strength vs. endurance for golf (and why heavy/low-rep often wins)
• Three common mistakes amateurs make (and how to adjust mid-round)
• What swing speed numbers actually mean (PGA/LPGA/amateur context)
• Why club fitting matters more than buying the “shiny new” driver

Resources: Garmin Approach R10, Portmarnock GC, Killeen Castle, St Andrews, TPC Colorado, Pebble Beach, Augusta National, and Mark Broadie’s *Every Shot Counts*.
