In this first installment of our four-part conversation with two-time major champion Jane Geddes, FORE the Good of the Game co-hosts Mike Gonzalez and Bruce Devlin take listeners on a journey back to Jane's unlikely beginnings in golf—and what a story it is.Born and raised on Long Island, Jane Geddes never set foot on a golf course until the age of 15. A move to Summerville, South Carolina left her feeling like an outsider—until a chance introduction to the game changed her life forever. With no prior experience, no clubs of her own, and no country club pedigree, Jane's golf journey began with a single seven-iron and a generous teaching pro, Derek Hardy, who saw something special in her swing from day one.Jane reflects with honesty and humor on the cultural shock of moving to the South, the loneliness of high school, and how golf became her unexpected refuge. From shag bags and Walmart clubs to developing her game on a neighborhood driving range, this is a raw and inspiring look at how talent, curiosity, and a bit of fate launched one of the great careers in women's golf.You'll hear how she went from a complete unknown to walking onto the Florida State team, and how pivotal influences—including Derek Hardy, Dave Pelz, Jim McLean, and Dr. Bob Rotella—shaped her game and mindset.This episode offers a rare glimpse into the humble and heartfelt beginnings of a future major champion.

Next, we discuss the conclusion of TGL's inaugural season, which combined high-tech innovation with traditional golf, captivating younger fans and sparking conversations about the league's future. Finally, we look at LIV Golf players’ challenges in qualifying for the Open Championship, as the R&A holds firm on its criteria, adding complexity to the ongoing LIV vs. PGA Tour saga.

In part 2 of our conversation with Jesse Ortiz we spend nearly an hour talking about how the superlight shafts and a new set of light weight grips can give the average golfer more yardage than a new club head. Fred also wants to know about the life span of wedges, what to look for on a older wedge, and urban myths about wedges, Dave Pelz thoughts and impact on Jesse designs at Bobby Jones golf, and the global and long term impact that Jesse's Tri-Metal Fairway woods design. What about hybrids and fairway woods? How often should those be replaced? You'll be happy to hear his response and lesson.

This week we turn the Imagine Golf spotlight on the legendary master of the short game, Dave Pelz. Dave organizes course management into three areas: conservative strategy, aggressive execution, and knowing the difference. It's kind of like the Serenity Prayer for Golfers—and it can save you a lot of strokes and frustration.

This week we turn the Imagine Golf spotlight on the legendary master of the short game, Dave Pelz. We hear about pre-shot routines all the time. But is it really that important? Yes. In fact, it's so important, Dave breaks it down into two parts: preshot preparation and preshot ritual. Here's how to lower your score immediately using Dave's two-step routine.

This week we turn the Imagine Golf spotlight on the legendary master of the short game, Dave Pelz. When chipping, should you leave the flagstick in the hole or take it out? That question is as old as the game. Dave, being the data head that he is, built a machine to settle the debate once and for all.

This week we turn the Imagine Golf spotlight on the legendary master of the short game, Dave Pelz. When you hit approach shots, do you hold your position until the ball lands and you see the results? Today, Dave shows you how to use your built-in biofeedback loop. “You don't even have to think about it,” he says. “Feel your swing, watch your shot, and let your subconscious do the rest.”

This week we turn the Imagine Golf spotlight on the legendary master of the short game, Dave Pelz. How do you develop the right tempo for your swing? Grab a pitching wedge, walk through this visualization with Dave, and learn how to clock the speed of your swing to get the distance and accuracy you need.

This week we turn the Imagine Golf spotlight on the legendary master of the short game, Dave Pelz. “I wish,” Dave says, “I had a nickel for every time I heard a golfer say, ‘I'm hitting it great on the practice tee but I can't take it to the golf course.'” Listen to Dave's advice today and you may never utter those dreaded words again.

This week we turn the Imagine Golf spotlight on the legendary master of the short game, Dave Pelz. We're often told to get within 3 feet of the cup. But even pros rarely do that. Dave has a more practical approach: focus on the eight feet between a 2-foot gimme and a tough but makeable 10-footer. Imagine the grass in-between is tinted gold. That's your new score zone.

It’s another loose one this week, folks, as the golf content machine wasn’t firing on all cylinders this week. As usual, we break down the few headlines we did have, including Mike Weir taking home his first career Champions Tour victory at the Insperity Invitational. We also discuss Sam Burns’ win at the Valspar, LPGA results from Shanghai, and Rickie’s special invitation to the upcoming PGA Championship. As we head into May we are also approaching the delayed start to golf season here in Ontario. Brent and John have been putting in some work this offseason to improve their games, so we discuss what they’ve been doing and how they can implement it on the course. Books discussed were “Dave Pelz’s Putting Bible,” “Dave Pelz’s Short Game Bible,” and “Harvey Penick’s Little Red Book,” (all highly recommended by Ready Golf!). Check back next week as we break down the results from a loaded field at the Wells Fargo Championship, recap some Walker Cup action, and set the stage for the following week’s PGA Championship As always, keep up with all things Ready Golf at: Instagram - @readygolfpod Twitter - @readygolfpod Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/readygolfpod/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdRQUuPahG9lFq9DpdNqyDg Or drop us a line at info@readygolf.ca

Today we are joined on the podcast by renowned short game guru Dave Pelz. What a pleasure to have Dave on the pod where he shares his wisdom, life experiences and cracking stories from his time in the world of golf. He admits to his 22 & 0 losing streak to Jack Nicklaus in college, how he focused on working on weaknesses and the scientific approach that he brought to his analysis. Short game is his passion and Dave explains the belief that all golfers can improve hugely from 80 yards and in and also on the putting......what he calls the scoring game! A story about the Odyssey 2 ball invention and the deal that was brokered with Callaway on the launch of that iconic putter. Memories of Augusta, working with Phil and culminating with his first major win at the Masters in 2004. We discuss the yips and how you can drive yourself to those demons within the game. His love of Ireland and how proud he his of the short game scoring school facility at Killeen Castle. Dave's passion for the game is hugely infectious and we hope you can get some tips & thoughts for when golf returns.

New research published yesterday seems to contradict the research done previously by Dave Pelz. What gives? This puts Dave Pelz in a tough spot, will he release his data now? If he doesn't, he runs the risk of losing credibility in the golf world. This will be interesting. While this new research is hardly comprehensive and is a far cry from being strategically helpful, it does add to the body of work, which is great. The data is now more muddled than ever, but with more data comes a better chance we will really get an answer to the flagstick question. Let's hope more will take up the flagstick battle cry and provide us with real research, transparent research that we can trust and can actually use to improve our chance of playing well. https://www.golfdigest.com/story/putting-with-the-flagstick-in-could-be-a-mistake-new-golf-digest-study-from-cal-poly-professor-shows #golf #pgatour #golfers #lovegolf #rapidgolfimprovement #golfday #whyilovethisgame #golflessons #golflife #anythinggolf #beautifulgolfcourses #lovegolf #betterdatabettergolf #dataaxisgolf #golfislife #golfball #golftournament #golfcourse #golfrange #golfnews #instagolf #golfswing #golfing #golfaddict --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/dataaxisgolf/message

Mr. Short Game talks with the Short Game Guru Dave Pelz. Follow Me YouTube - www.youtube.com/mrshortgame Twitter - @mrshortgame Instagram @mrshortgame

This wedge play technique changed my golf life. I was able to turn an absolute fear of 30, 50, 60 yard wedge shots into a strength of my game. These shots require a special approach that brings distance control and consistent impact with the golf ball every time. I'm super passionate about this part of the game, and I think this lesson is one that's going to help every single player out there. In this episode, I start things out with some data to help convince you this is an area of the game that you really need to focus on. Dave Pelz figured out some important things using the scientific process - that these shots are the biggest correlation to money earned on the PGA Tour and they require their own kind of technique.  For me personally, I absolutely feared these shots for a very long time - to the point of nearly quitting golf. Once I figured a way to make consistent contact and control the distance of these shots, wedge play became the hallmark of my game.  The golf swing has many different sources of power - weight shift, body turn, coil, release of the club, hand action, etc. To control distance, we want to soften things up and limit our power to a single source. When we do this well, we're able to calibrate distance and make some great things happen around the greens.  I'll fill you in on setup and swing technique to get you started in the right direction.  • Narrow stance • Noodle arms • Your unique rhythm  • Rotate without coil • Maintain soft pressure throughout • Ball comes off like a marshmallow • Consistent impact every time This technique is the absolute foundation of so many things we're going to talk about around the greens - pitching, bunker play, and even chipping.  Listen in and get in touch if you've got questions.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/golf-essentials/message

In the full interview, Dave shares his favorite games, tips, and drills to practice that will improve your putting, chipping and pitching skills and lead to lower scores. Even if you don’t have your own area to practice at home, this advice can be used anytime you practice or warm up before a round. Have you seen his amazing backyard? This week on the Golf Smarter Academy, Rick from Florida returns with a follow up question to the advice he received from our Academy Professor, Tony Manzoni a few weeks ago.

631: Phil Mickleson’s coach, Dave Pelz, may be the most recognized short game instructor in golf today. Part of his mastery comes from being a physicist who loves golf, the other is that he possesses one of the most spectacular practice areas in his backyard that you’ll ever see.  In Part 1 of our conversation with Dave, we discuss how having a backyard practice area has improved both his game and his family life. When he was on Golf Smarter last April (episode 586), Dave introduced Host Fred Greene to an outdoor practice product called SynLawn. As we record this episode Fred’s new 5 hole putting green/chipping area installed by SynLawn Bay Area is being completed. Up next week, Dave returns to provide us with drills, games, and advice on how to best utilize your home practice to impact your scores on the course.This week on the Golf Smarter Academy, Dustin from Ohio has done a lot to improve his swing, but can't seem to stop his head from moving back and forward during his swing. Also, his backswing is just too long. Can our Academy Professor, Tony Manzoni help? What do you think? Let us help you!

The Dave Pelz you see in 2017 isn’t all that different from the Dave Pelz you would have seen in 1957. The golf fanatic was then playing on scholarship at Indiana University, and competing against Jack Nicklaus, no less, so to see where he is today—as a world renowned short game instructor—comes without surprise. The astonishing part is how he got there, because shortly after enrolling at Indiana, and losing to Nicklaus on a number of occasions, he realized he wasn’t Tour ready. His ascension to the top of the short game world—which includes advising Phil Mickelson, one of the greatest short game players of all-time—begins at NASA, and has to do mainly with physics, his major at IU. As you can tell by listening, he’s pretty good at telling the story. Topics include: 2:25 — Playing junior/college golf against Jack Nicklaus 7:30 — How a college golfer ended up working at NASA 11:10 — His introduction of the 60-degree wedge on Tour 21:45 — Phil Mickelson’s greatest short game shot 25:20 — His annual work with Mickelson 31:50 — His new green-reading project

Golf instructor and short-game genius Dave Pelz stops by to talk about his new green-reading technique and taking the unique step of offering it to early adopters through Kickstarter. Pelz goes through putting statistics and realities that will almost certainly make you feel better about your putting and get you excited about reading greens.

586 Dave Pelz could be the most sought after and successful short game golf coach on the planet. But he’s so much more! Dave’s a scientist, researcher, author, entrepreneur, club designer, short game guru, and a dedicated family man. In our conversation that goes longer than an hour, Dave gives us a glimpse into his personal history that starts with being a frustrated college golfer at Indiana University who was repeatedly beat by Jack Nicklaus. He then moved on to NASA working as a scientist/researcher/data analyst for the Goddard Space Center. But his love of golf never left his blood, so he took a year off to start a business that ended as a total disaster.  He provides a lot more about his history, and of course provides some short game and practice advice. He also shares his prediction for this year’s Masters. Keep your eyes/ears open for his newest Kickstarter book/video project on Green Reading. The crowdsource funding program will run for 60 days starting May 8, 2016. Help support the project and get your package earlier and for less than the regular public.
