946: This week we speak to Paul Salter, a high-performance mindset coach, about overcoming mental and emotional obstacles in golf. Paul discusses the importance of awareness and curiosity in understanding and managing the mental hazards that can affect performance.

944: Josh Zander returns to share his expertise on bunker play in golf. He emphasizes the misconception that players should hit behind the ball in bunkers, explaining that the low point of the swing should be past the ball. He also discusses the importance of body positioning and creating a steep angle of attack in bunker shots. Josh advises players to assess the lie and adjust their technique accordingly, highlighting the need for different clubs and techniques based on bunker conditions. He also emphasizes the importance of having the right attitude and mindset when approaching bunker shots. Josh and Fred cover topics such as setup, club selection, and shot selection based on the lie and slope of the bunker. They also debunk common myths and provide tips for practicing bunker shots.
Takeaways
The low point of the swing in bunker shots should be past the ball, not behind it.Body positioning and creating a steep angle of attack are crucial in bunker play.Assessing the lie and adjusting technique based on bunker conditions is essential.Having the right attitude and mindset when approaching bunker shots can make a significant difference in performance. Proper setup is crucial for successful bunker shots. For uphill lies, set your shoulders slightly into the slope and keep the handle back. For downhill lies, get your shoulders with the slope and have the handle forward.When playing bunker shots, focus on hitting the sand a few inches behind the ball, rather than trying to hit the ball directly.Fairway bunkers require a different approach than greenside bunkers. Play the ball more forward in your stance, open the club face slightly, and have a shallow angle of attack to get the ball up and out of the bunker.Avoid common myths such as hitting way behind the ball or cutting across the ball in bunker shots. Instead, focus on proper technique and understanding the variables of each bunker shot.Practice bunker shots with variability to prepare for different situations on the course. Challenge yourself with different lies and shot options to become comfortable and confident in bunker play.***Summary was AI generated from riverside.fm, our recording platform.

943: Matt Ginella, TV personality from The Golf Channel and The FirePit Collective, discusses his obsession with L.A.B. Golf and his journey to uncover the story behind the company. Matt's interest in L.A.B. Golf was sparked when he witnessed Lucas Glover's success with the putter. He explains how his interviews with Sam and Bill Presse, the inventor of The Revealer, revealed the fascinating history of L.A.B. Golf. Matt also discusses the influence of Vaughn Taylor, Kelly Slater, and Adam Scott in the L.A.B. Golf story. The podcast series is described as an audio book, with each episode weaving together multiple voices to create a compelling narrative arc. This conversation covers a range of topics, including the importance of reporting and authenticity in broadcasting, Kelly Slater's influence on golf, the success of L.A.B. Golf and the importance of tour recognition, the marketing of golf putters and the concept of “letting go of control to gain control”, the transformation of Lucas Glover and the power of never giving up. Fred and Matt also get some quick hits on golf courses in Northern Ireland that will be played on the Golf Smarter Royal Adventure in July. Takeaways

942 Summary Dr. Bob Jones IV returns to discuss the history of golf in Atlanta and the impact of prominent golfers and philanthropists in the city. The conversation then shifts to the legacy of Bobby Jones and situating Jones in his historical context and the intersections between history, athletics, and psychology in understanding his impact. Jones achieved early success in golf, breaking records with hickory shafted clubs and low-compression balls. The conversation also covers the formation of Augusta National Golf Club and the Masters Tournament. Jones faced a health crisis after World War II, but bore his illness with grace and dignity.
Takeaways
Atlanta has a rich history of golf, with prominent golfers and philanthropists contributing to the sport and the community.Amateur golf was highly regarded before the rise of professional golf, and Bobby Jones was a key figure in this era.Arnold Palmer and the advent of television brought significant changes to the sport, increasing its popularity and commercialization.Creating a curriculum on Bobby Jones would require situating him in his historical context and exploring the intersections between history, athletics, and psychology.***Summary was AI generated from riverside.fm, our recording platform.

941. Summary: In this conversation, Jim Waldron and Fred Greene discuss various aspects of the short game in golf and dispel some common myths. They emphasize the need for solid contact and distance control in the short game, the role of pivot in generating power, the issue of scooping and Jim provides tips for controlling spin in different conditions. They cover topics such as distance wedges, taking spin off shots, the kinematic sequence, finesse swings, distance control, trajectory control, spin control, rhythm and tempo, and scoring in the short game. Jim and Fred also discuss various aspects of putting and chipping in golf. There are many misconceptions about putting, including the illusion created by watching professional golfers on TV. The conversation then shifts to using an iron as a putter and the technique of the putt chip shot. They explore the resurgence of Scottish chipping and its technique, as well as when to use this shot. Finally, they discuss club selection and the carry-roll ratio in classical chipping on medium-sized greens.
Takeaways
The short game is an under-taught and poorly taught aspect of golf.Solid contact and distance control are crucial in the short game.Pivot plays a significant role in generating power and controlling spin in the short game.Scooping is a common issue in the short game that needs to be addressed.Controlling spin is essential in different conditions and shot types. Distance wedges are shots from about 65 to 120 yards that require medium spin and a lower trajectory.Tour pros try to take spin off distance wedges to have better control over the carry distance.The kinematic sequence is the transfer of energy from one body part to the next during the downswing, and it is different for power swings and distance wedges.In the short game, a finesse swing with less spin and a softer version of the full swing is preferred.Distance control in the short game is achieved through consistent length of backswing and a constant rhythm and tempo.Scoring in the short game requires chipping and pitching the ball close to the hole to increase the chances of one-putting.Watching professional golfers on TV can create misconceptions about putting.Lie angle balance and lab putters can improve putting performance.Using an iron as a putter can be effective for certain shots.The putt chip shot is a specialized short game shot that can be useful around the green.Scottish chipping is making a comeback in golf.Classical chipping is a foundational technique for the short game on medium-sized greens.***Summary was AI generated from riverside.fm, our recording platform.
