Podcasts about Golf Digest

Two of the heavyweights of world golf are the stars for this episode – Royal Melbourne West and Tara Iti. Scott recently returned from a quick hit and run trip to Tara Iti and played both courses at Te Arai as well. The rounds at Tara Iti had him thinking it might even surpass the famed West course at RM as the Southern Hemisphere's best. We discuss the genesis of the course at Mangawhai – including the seminal GolfClubAtlas thread in which Tom Doak put out a call for people to nominate sites on which his client could develop one of the best courses in the world – turns out it was even earlier than we though it was. 2005, and long time GCA contributor Ash Towe was the one who steered the ship towards the East coast of New Zealand, north of Auckland. https://www.golfclubatlas.com/forum/index.php/topic,19775.msg351600.html#msg351600 The site, the routing, and so much more of Tara Iti is discussed. Strong holes on both layouts, contrasted with the weaker links in the chains. The assortment of holes on both courses is a focus – short and long threes, driveable fours, more testing long two shot holes as well as reachable fives. Big greens and small, aggressive greens and artistic hazards. We chat about it all. The amazing landscape on which Tara Iti is built, and more. As mentioned, this excellent hole by hole look at Tara Iti courtesy of Golf Digest is a great entrée into a chat about the course. https://youtu.be/U6_5cGQhnDA?si=t3I69xGH5tXKiwty We also make mention throughout the episode of the NoLayingUp piece that Soly recorded at Tara Iti back at the end of the debut season of Tourist Sauce – the link for that is here - https://youtu.be/VV40tk_5fis?si=I7YoALIqEEIv1Jwb There's no longer the option for unaccompanied visitors to play Tara Iti unfortunately. But both courses next door at Te Arai are well worth the travel. For those who have an appetite for more Tara Iti content – Charlie Mercer has dedicated several episodes of his excellent NZ based golf podcast, The Yardage Book podcast, to Tara Iti and Te Arai. His episodes with Jim Rohrstaff, Tron Carter and Michael Wolff are well worth going back to for a listen. Link to Tron's episode here - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/tron-carter-unpacks-his-recent-trip-to-tara-iti-and/id1714222287?i=1000708867879 Those who wish to visit Royal Melbourne to play West can enquire through this link. https://www.royalmelbourne.com.au/visitors/ We round out this episode with a hole by hole match play of TI v RMW comparing like for like holes, and where would we be without a four word course review to conclude? This was a fun one to record, given the quality of both courses under consideration – we hope you enjoy listening as much as we did recording! As always – special thanks to Matt and his crew at Angus And Grace Go Golfing.

#87: [Inside the Mind] Lauren McMillin: Golf Yoga Misconceptions and Benefits and Going Barefoot to Play Better Golf If you're the golfer who groans at the thought of stretching or scoffs at the word "yoga," this episode is especially for you. Joining me today is Lauren McMillin—founder of YoGolf Performance and a certified yoga instructor who specializes in helping golfers move better, feel better, and, yes, play better. In this episode, Lauren dismantles the common excuses and outdated beliefs that have kept so many of us (especially men) from incorporating yoga into our golf performance routines. We explore how yoga goes far beyond flexibility. You'll learn how it improves spinal rotation (hello, more shoulder turn and distance), strengthens your connection to the ground (read: more power and balance), and trains your nervous system to respond rather than react—all of which translate directly to better performance on the course and faster recovery off of it. In today's episode, you'll learn: Why most golfers resist yoga—and why that's costing you distance, consistency, and recovery The most common myths and misconceptions about yoga (spoiler: you don't need to be flexible!) How yoga improves your swing, focus, and mental resilience What “movement modality” really means—and why yoga is the ultimate one for golf Simple, golf-specific breathing and movement techniques you can start using today How barefoot balance work can actually help you hit longer, straighter shots A quick pre- and post-round routine to boost performance and prevent injury The surprising sleep benefits of yoga—and how they help your game How to build a consistent yoga routine without a studio or 60-minute commitment Get your pencils ready and start listening.  P.S. Curious to learn more about the results my clients are experiencing and what they say about working with me? Read more here. More About Lauren Lauren McMillin, yoga and movement specialist, is the founder of YoGolf Performance, golf's online yoga studio. For nearly a decade, she has worked with yoga practitioners and golfers of all levels, using yoga, Pilates, and functional movement to help them move and feel their best.  In addition to being featured in Golf Digest and PGA.com, Lauren has been a speaker at the PGA Show, and is co-author of The Ultimate Golf Fitness Program.

Post-round yoga can significantly improve recovery and sleep quality Yoga prepares your body and mind to play to your potential Key Quotes: I'm just trying to help you move better and feel better. For golfers, that means playing better. Golf is a mental sport, yet so few of our training routines address the mental side. Drop the excuses. I've heard them all—and I don't care.
