In this episode of On The Mark, Mark Immelman is joined by golf coach and content creator Brandon Bauman, known online as @coach_bauman, for a practical and entertaining conversation about simplifying the golf swing and playing better golf with clearer intention. Brandon shares his approach to mental resets, swing balance, tempo, timing, leg action, speed, wind management, and playing smarter golf. His coaching style is simple, direct, and easy to apply, making complex golf concepts easier to understand for players of all levels. The conversation begins with one of the most important parts of scoring: how to reset mentally after mistakes. Brandon explains how he breaks a round into three-hole matches, uses physical restart cues, and “reintroduces” himself on the tee to create a fresh start during competitive rounds. From there, Mark and Brandon dive into the four pillars of the golf swing: timing, tempo, rhythm, and balance. Brandon explains why tempo does not mean slow, why a balanced finish still matters, how relaxed arms can create more speed, and why golfers should stop forcing speed with tension and handle drag. They also cover practical drills for better sequencing, improved leg action, more efficient speed, and better wind strategy. If you want to simplify your golf swing, reset your mind, and play with more conviction, this episode is packed with takeaways you can bring straight to the range or course. In This Episode, You'll Learn: How to reset mentally after a bad shot, hole, or stretch of holes Why Brandon plays six three-hole matches during a round How physical reset cues can help you start fresh mid-round Why golfers need to learn how to “plug in” and “plug out” mentally Why balance remains one of the key pillars of the golf swing What a good finish position can tell you about your swing Why tempo does not mean swinging slowly How your personality can influence your ideal swing tempo Why handle-dragging can actually slow the clubhead down How timing and sequence can improve with a simple pause drill Why relaxed arms can help you swing faster How to use leg action correctly for power Why "sitting down" in the backswing can hurt your downswing sequence How one-handed swings can improve speed and release Why throwing the club can help golfers understand the “slot” How to adjust properly for wind, and Why golfers should play to carry numbers, not total distance. Key Takeaways: Mental resets are a skill, and they can be trained. Breaking a round into three-hole matches can help golfers stay present. Physical cues like changing gloves, changing tees, or marking the scorecard can signal a fresh start. You cannot stay fully “plugged in” for four or five hours, so learn when to focus and when to relax. The four pillars of the golf swing are timing, tempo, rhythm, and balance. Tempo does not mean slow; it means the club and body are working together efficiently. Your swing tempo should fit your personality and natural pace. A balanced finish is still one of the best indicators of an efficient swing. Speed comes from sequence, leverage, release, and relaxation — not brute force. Pause drills and one-handed swings can help golfers find better timing. The legs should work in the correct order: load, move down, then extend through impact. Into the wind, the ball loses more distance than many golfers expect, and Downwind does not help as much as the wind hurts into you. Playing to carry numbers instead of finish numbers can improve decision-making and scoring.

Every time a pro wins with a quirky move, it shows up on the lesson tee the next week.... the bowed wrist, the foot hop, the "swing that will revolutionize golf." We all love an outlier, and we all think we're one magic bullet away. In this episode of the Athletic Motion Golf Podcast, Mike Granato & Shaun Webb break down why copying those moves is the fastest way to wreck your golf swing, and what you should be stealing from tour players instead.The real answer is their mindset and how they practice: low ball counts, rehearsal swings, verifying every feel against Gears, TrackMan, or video instead of trusting feel alone, and practicing with a plan rather than reacting to the last shot you hit. We get into honest swing-change timelines (why a tour coach will tell a player it might take two years), the 1%-a-day math, the ladder to unconscious competence, why bad concepts are the easiest to ingrain and the hardest to undo, Tony Ruggerio's 3x5 note card system, and why filming your on-course swing — not your basement swing — is the only way to see what you're actually changing.Get good at the basics. That's where 95% of them live. Timestamps below.

You're striping it on the range, then somewhere between the range and the first tee your swing vanishes — "where did that guy go?" It happens to everyone, and in today's Athletic Motion Golf Podcast, Shaun Webb and Mike Granato break down exactly why, and how to bring your range swing to the course.We get into the false confidence of hitting the same club over and over, why you should change clubs and targets every ball ("play the course on the range"), and the number one killer under pressure: getting quick and not finishing your backswing. You'll hear the Jack Nicklaus "finish your backswing" principle, David's "miss it quick," VJ Singh's one-two-three-four count and the Tour Tempo idea, Dr. Debbie's archery drill and "second serve" philosophy for making a free first swing, plus how nerves quietly wreck your setup — Adam Scott, Nick Price adjusting to the wind, and why it's the mosquitoes that get you, not the bears.If you play your best golf on the range and your worst on the first tee, this one's for you. Timestamps below — tell us your first-tee horror story in the comments.

In this episode of On The Mark, Mark Immelman returns from Scotland with fresh insight from a week of Links Golf, the Genesis Scottish Open, and Open Championship week. Mark breaks down Tom Kim's impressive victory at the Genesis Scottish Open and shares what golfers of all levels can learn from his patience, maturity, shot-making, routine, and renewed approach to the game. After a period of searching, coaching changes, and mental clutter, Tom Kim found his way back by simplifying his swing, trusting his process, and accepting that even great work does not always produce immediate results. Mark also dives into the unique demands of links golf: firm fairways, tight lies, pot bunkers, wind, trajectory control, creativity, patience, recovery, and attitude. Whether you are preparing for a golf trip, watching The Open Championship, or simply trying to improve your everyday game, this episode is packed with practical lessons you can apply immediately. In This Episode, You'll Learn: What Tom Kim's Scottish Open victory teaches golfers about patience and maturity. Why good practice does not always guarantee good results. How expectations can hurt your performance. The “Golf Life Cycle” of good, indifferent, bad, indifferent, and good play. Why you should not panic when your game starts trending downward. How to identify your strengths, habits, and tendencies as a golfer. Why short game and recovery skills are essential when your ball striking is off. What Tom Kim changed in his swing to create more consistency. How quiet wrists can help stabilize the club face. A simple centered pivot drill you can do at home. Why “Operation 30” can help golfers stop overthinking. How to play firm, fast links conditions. Why the chip-and-run is so valuable on tight lies. How to vary trajectory and club selection in changing conditions. When to use the putter from off the green, and How to better understand and manage wind on the golf course. Key Takeaways: Golf improvement is holistic. Fitness, energy, walking endurance, mindset, and swing mechanics all affect performance. Links golf rewards patience, creativity, recovery, and smart decision-making. Tom Kim's win was a lesson in maturity, patience, conviction, and simplifying the mind. When your game gets shaky, return to your fundamentals instead of trying every quick fix. Great players make their bad days decent by relying on short game, putting, and smart course management. Quiet wrists can help improve club face control and ball striking consistency. A centered pivot can help improve contact, especially in wind. Doubt creates tension, and tension wrecks golf swings. A confident swing with the wrong club is often better than a doubtful swing with the right club. Wind hurts more than it helps, so plan accordingly, and Practicing different trajectories, uneven lies, and wind conditions can prepare you for real golf.  This podcast is a one-stop shop where you will get game improvement insights, Links Golf insights and a nugget or two on how to deal with the inevitable slumps in golf.  Watch it on YouTube - search and subscribe to Mark Immelman.

Launch monitor ownership among amateurs has exploded. Trackman, Foresight, SkyTrak, Garmin, Bushnell...everyone has one at home now, and everyone is chasing numbers. Shaun Webb and Mike Granato from Athletic Motion Golf open the conversation with the honest working truth of every measurement tool. The launch monitor tells you what happened at impact. 3D tells you why it happened. And when you use only the former, you end up doing what tour pros used to do when Trackman first hit the scene. You Trackman your way off the tour.The specific pitfalls hit hard. Winter indoor practice with a launch monitor produces a swing built for the simulator, not the golf course. The launch monitor only knows where straight is relative to where it's set up. You can stand on your head and put a zero path number up if you aim right. The simulator's four walls do the aiming work for you. The 550-yard par 5 doesn't. And once you see a red number, the temptation is to contort your downswing to fix a symptom while the actual cause (setup, backswing sway, spine lean) sits untouched.Shaun tells the story of the scratch golfer he grew up playing with who was a club champion. He sliced it all around the course, but he knew exactly what the ball was going to do every time. Give him a Trackman and tell him minus 8 path is bad, and he would never have broken 100 again.The fix is a philosophy. Understand the tool's limitations. Understand how to use the tool. Then understand how to use the data. Attack the earliest thing in the swing that is broken. Get out of the parking lot before you worry about which street to turn down. Marry the launch monitor (club and ball data) with a body measurement tool (Swing Coach app is the "launch monitor for the body"). Plus the reference to Jason Baile (2023 PGA National Teacher of the Year) at the Trackman User Conference. He gets his tour players focused on just one or two parameters instead of all 40+.

Match play is simple enough. Card a better score than your opponent on the hole, you win the hole. But what if you could only win the hole with a birdie or better? That's Birdie Sprint, and, as LKD explains, you'll see it a lot during pro-am rounds at PGA Tour events. Here's how you can play it and/or adapt it for your skill level.

In this episode of On The Mark, host Mark Immelman welcomes back Dr. Luke Benoit, golf instructor, motor learning expert, and creator of the RypStick, for a deep dive into one of golf's biggest questions: Why is it so hard to change your swing — and why does your range game often disappear on the golf course? Luke shares insights from his upcoming book, The Golf Textbook, and explains how motor learning, biomechanics, practice design, and performance psychology all work together when golfers try to improve. The conversation challenges common assumptions about practice, range work, swing changes, and the way golfers train. Instead of simply “hitting more balls,” Luke lays out a smarter path for building better patterns, transferring them to the course, and learning when to think mechanically — and when to play freely. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why your practice swing often looks better than your real swing. Why hitting range balls is not always the best way to change a motor pattern. How pressure changes your movement patterns on the golf course. Why golfers must separate swing-building practice from performance practice . The difference between changing your swing for tomorrow vs. changing it for 90 days from now. Why learning a new swing pattern may require practicing without a golf ball. How video feedback can help you build a new movement pattern faster. Why calibration is key to fixing slices, hooks, tops, shanks, and contact issues. The four zones of improvement: Construction, Calibration, Transfer, and Performance, and How to build a “firewall” between mechanical thinking and on-course performance. Key Conversation Points: 1. Why Golf Swings Are Hard to Change Luke explains that golf swings are deeply ingrained motor patterns. Once a pattern has been built over time, it behaves almost like a riverbed: the movement naturally wants to return to the same path. To change it, golfers need to understand that they are not simply “trying a tip.” They are building a new pattern — and that takes the right environment, feedback, and repetition. 2. Why the Golf Ball Gets in the Way One of Luke's biggest points is that the golf ball creates conflict. When a golfer is trying to change mechanics and hit a good shot at the same time, the brain often prioritizes the result of the ball over the new movement. That is why Luke recommends separating swing-building work from ball-striking work. If the goal is to change your movement, the ball may not matter early in the process. 3. Construction: Building the Swing The construction zone is where golfers build a new movement pattern. Luke says this is the time to think like an engineer. This is not about hitting perfect shots. It is about creating the movement correctly, using video, feedback, and intentional reps. Luke also explains the value of reverse chaining — learning the downswing before adding the backswing. 4. Calibration: Fixing Ball-Flight Biases Calibration is where golfers learn how to control impact. If you slice it, learn to hook it. If you hit it low, learn to hit it higher. If you hit the ground first, learn to hit the ball first. Mark and Luke emphasize that many ball-flight problems can be improved quickly when golfers understand impact opposites and stop overcomplicating the fix. 5. Transfer: Taking Practice to the Course The transfer zone is where practice starts to look more like golf. Instead of hitting the same shot repeatedly, golfers must learn to change targets, vary situations, and make practice feel closer to the course. This is where many golfers struggle because traditional range practice often rewards comfort instead of adaptability. 6. Performance: Playing Without Mechanical Overload The final zone is performance. On the course, Luke believes golfers need to trust their training, trust their routine, and stop trying to solve every swing issue mid-round. The goal is to create a firewall between mechanical practice and on-course performance so the golfer can play freely, even while working through a swing change.

Chris Gotterup just won for the fourth time on the PGA Tour in the last 53 weeks, and he's done it with an unusually open setup and steep swing.

Welcome to the swing confessional.Shaun Webb and Mike Granato from Athletic Motion Golf open up about every dumb thing they bought, built, or did in the name of getting better at golf before they had GEARS, force plates, or any way to actually measure what works. Their stories are funny, painful, and brutally honest. The kind of stuff most golf coaches would never admit to a camera.The PVC pipe SAM 2000 ring that gave Shaun two months of shanks before his first season in Maine. The Mark Brooks strap-and-cuffs system that gave him the laterals. Mike convincing his dad to buy a brand-new Brute garbage can so he could cut the rim off and duct-tape it to the wall to swing inside. Shaun's wholesale Bob Mann's Automatic Golf rebuild two weeks before his state championship (he somehow hit 17 greens — still praising Bob Mann). The Killer B driver with the 46-inch shaft. The Viper Bite sandpaper-faced wedge. The original Medicus breakaway and the friend who bought one in a pro shop and shanked the first four approach shots of a money game with money on every hole.Plus the methodology spectrum that traps so many golfers (one extreme to the other), the discovery that tour pros congregate in a tight "AMG window" of about 8-10 parameters, and why Shaun's nephew growing up now has access to information that Shaun and Mike spent decades wishing they had.

"For anyone taking on the task of improving their golf swing... you have to F your feels."Your feels are a memory. They're not a movement. They degrade over time, they're the worst possible anchor for changing a real motor pattern, and they're the number one reason why "I tried it and it didn't work" means literally nothing in a golf lesson.Shaun and Mike from Athletic Motion Golf break down the lesson moment every golfer has been through...making a swing, being asked "did you do it?" and answering "I felt like I did" — only to pull up GEARS and see zero change. The fix is the same every time: slow down to about 45-50 mph (which feels like 3 mph), let your brain catch up with the club, actually feel the new move in real time. Then build the reps back up by 5 mph at a time.Plus the Tiger Woods quote about feel matching real, the Hank Haney concept that you can't teach a slicer to hit it straight (you have to teach him slice to hook to good golf), the Disney Grand Prix guardrail analogy that finally explains why "outside by five" is what neutral feels like when you're stuck inside by five, and the brutal "I have five swings" lesson moment that exposes why most golfers think they have control they don't actually have.

Wyndham Clark vs. Sam Burns was the Sunday duel nobody really expected at Shinnecock Hills after Clark took a six-shot lead into the final round, but down the stretch, with Burns several holes ahead of Clark the final round of the 2026 U.S. Open became a real slugfest. How did these two players end up there after falling out of form in 2025? LKD spoke to each of them to find out. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode of On The Mark, host Mark Immelman is joined by South African golf instructor Rick Currin, who teaches in Malaysia and specializes in making golf simpler, more playable, and easier to improve. Rick brings a biomechanics and sports science background to his coaching, but his message is refreshingly practical: stop overcomplicating the game, manage the course smarter, and build a swing and short game that help you avoid big numbers. Mark and Rick walk through a “mini boot camp” for your whole game—course management, driver setup, iron play, pitching, bunker shots, lag putting, and short putts—with one clear goal: help golfers score better by making better decisions and executing simpler shots. In This Episode, You'll Learn: ✅ Why avoiding double bogeys is one of the fastest ways to lower scores ✅ How to manage a golf course by playing to your strengths—not your ego ✅ Why “boring golf” can be the smartest path to better scores ✅ How better posture and setup can help you drive the ball more consistently ✅ Why irons should be treated like precision clubs, not power clubs  ✅ A simple pitching key: narrow stance, toe down, rhythm, and less tension ✅ The bunker-shot mindset: speed and trust ✅ Why lag putting is an overlooked scoring skill—and how to practice it better, and ✅ How to improve short putts with a simple, repeatable routine. Key Themes: Golf Made Simple - Rick's coaching philosophy is built around cutting through overload. Instead of chasing every tip, golfers need simple, repeatable ideas they can actually use on the course. Course Management Saves Shots - You do not always need driver off the tee. Sometimes a 6-iron in play, followed by another smart shot, creates a better scoring opportunity than forcing driver into trouble.  Discipline Starts Before the Swing - Rick emphasizes discipline in the pre-shot routine and decision-making. Poor choices often begin before the club ever moves. Athletic Setup Matters - Better driving starts with posture, balance, and body readiness. Rick explains how rounded posture and tension can limit rotation and make it harder to square the face. Precision Over Power With irons and wedges - Rick encourages golfers to take an extra club, make a controlled swing, and focus on solid contact and dispersion—not maximum distance. Short Game Variety Wins - You do not always have to fly the ball to the hole. Rick prefers using the contours of the course, bump-and-run options, and different clubs around the green when the shot allows it.

Most golf training aids will make you worse...and the average golfer doesn't know.Shaun Webb and Mike Granato from Athletic Motion Golf pull back the curtain on training aids: the ones they actually recommend, the ones that quietly train the OPPOSITE movement of what you're trying to fix, and the simple criteria every training aid has to pass to be worth your money.The big rule: a training aid should give you feedback, not do the work for you. If it restricts you into the right position (rails, arm tubes, swimming pool noodles, butt-band restrictors), your muscles are training to push AGAINST the restriction — which means as soon as you take it off, you've ingrained the exact pattern you were trying to change. Shaun's confession about the swing jacket is the perfect cautionary tale. Thousands of balls trained the wrong move.Plus the Greg Rose TPI concept of "use the opposite" (pull the golfer toward the bad move so they have to engage the right muscles to counter it), why the Hits Driver is one of the only training aids on AMG's recommendation list, and why the camera + foam ball + Swing Coach app combo is the most underrated training aid setup you already own.And the bonus: camera perspective and lens distortion in golf swing video — why the iPhone "3D" apps that point at a laptop screen produce horrific data, and why your swing looks completely different from four cameras three feet apart.Want training aid reviews from AMG? Let us know in the comments. We're starting Training Aid Tuesdays soon, plus live Q&A broadcasts from the AMG studio.

In this episode of On The Mark, Mark Immelman welcomes back Will Stubbs from Zen Green Stage / Zen Swing Stage for a conversation that hits a major truth about modern golf: the game doesn't have an attraction problem—it has a retention problem. Golf participation has surged, but most new players don't stick—largely because golf is hard, practice isn't realistic, and learning infrastructure hasn't kept up with access. Will breaks down the “practice gap”—why sterile range/simulator reps don't translate to the real golf course where slopes, lies, turf conditions, and wind change everything. Then he shares actionable ways to improve faster: build situational awareness, train on uneven lies, and learn to read greens using a simple clock-face method that teaches you to see gravity like a blueprint. In This Episode, You'll Discover: Why golf has a retention problem (not an attraction problem) The stat that should shock everyone: only ~25–27% become “committed golfers” Why most beginners never get lessons (and how golf learning hasn't scaled) The “practice gap”: why simulator/range practice can be misleading Why slopes (not length) are a course's greatest defense A simple putting read framework: Zero-grade line + clock face How Zen Green Stage helps golfers train compound breaks and real-world pace/reads How Zen Swing Stage recreates your lie instantly after each shot in sim play Why better practice turns fear into confidence (tension comes from doubt), and Where to find Zen + resources. Key Takeaways Access has exploded, learning hasn't. More people try golf, but most don't become committed players. Information ≠ understanding. Data is everywhere, but experience is what teaches. Practice should look like golf. If you only train flat lies, the course will expose you. Read greens by finding gravity first. The clock-face method simplifies the entire problem. Better puzzle-solvers score better. Golf is problem solving—practice needs variety and constraints. This podcast is also available to watch on YouTube.  Search and subscribe to Mark Immelman.

Golf Instruction & Slice‑Fixing Reality Check John and Jeff kicked things off by tackling the world's most popular golf shot: the slice. And instead of giving listeners the usual “just swing more inside‑out” nonsense, Jeff broke down how he actually fixes slices in real lessons. Turns out the problem usually isn't the swing at all — it's the hands: A left hand so weak it should be on the injured list A hand position that practically begs the clubface to stay open Or a wrist hinge that's doing interpretive dance instead of squaring the face   Jeff hammered home the idea that your natural arm hang determines your proper grip — not what your favorite tour pro does, not what a YouTube thumbnail promises, and definitely not what your buddy Chad insists is “the only correct grip.”   Equipment Talk: Overhyped Clubs & Real Value Then the boys dove into the equipment world, where marketing departments work harder than most golfers do on their short game.   They called out the brands that sell “revolutionary distance gains” every 15 minutes… and then pointed listeners toward the companies that actually deliver value without the circus tent:   Mizuno — feel without the flex Cobra — tech without the tax Srixon — performance without the peacocking The message: stop buying clubs because your favorite player uses them. That guy swings 122 mph and has a tour van following him. You have a day job and a 3‑year‑old headcover shaped like a flaming.       Putter Talk & Status Symbol Madness Next up: putters. Jeff admitted he's a LAB guy, but gave nods to Scotty Cameron and Ping — the usual suspects in the “my putter cost more than my first car” category.   John and Jeff roasted the idea that golfers care more about fancy headcovers than actually making putts. Because at the end of the day: No one on the green cares what brand you're holding They care whether you can roll it inside 3 feet without sweating   Performance > status. Always.

The most misunderstood thing in the entire golf swing. Impact doesn't happen on the front side of your body. It happens on the trail side.Shaun Webb and Mike Granato break down the concept that almost no golf instruction teaches — and the reason every cartoonish impact pose, rib-cracker drill, and "swing your arms across" cue has been training you toward the opposite of what every tour player actually does. The pie chart breakdown explains it cleanly: at impact, your body has rotated open, and the ball, hands, lead elbow, and club are all in the trail-side 60-degree pie of your pelvis. Not the front side. Not where you've been practicing for years.When you understand where impact really lives, you stop forcing the contorted poses, you stop shoving the hands forward, and you let body rotation deliver shaft lean and shallowing for free. Tour average shaft lean is only 7.98 degrees. The obsession with massive lean is misplaced. Position the body correctly and everything else follows.

Facing a tight driving hole? You may want to tee the ball a bit lower than usual. On the other hand, if it's wide open, that's the time to "tee it high and let it fly." LKD explains why, backed up by his own experience and launch monitor data. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode of On The Mark, host Mark Immelman is joined by David Bertoli (aka “Davide”) for a deep, visual-first breakdown of how the golf swing actually works in 3D—not as frozen “positions,” but as moving phases driven by what the body is doing internally. David shares how his team built a 3D system that reveals the skeleton, muscles, and fascia in motion—so golfers and coaches can stop chasing a Rory/McIlroy “look” and start optimizing their movement pattern. A major focus is David's framework: the Six Phases of the Golf Swing, built around Center of Mass (COM) movement + Anatomy Trains / fascia chains. They explore why the pelvis is the engine, how COM moves (horizontally and vertically), why maximum unweighting matters for speed, and how “carefree” phase-based movement beats “careful” position-chasing every time. In This Episode, You'll Learn: ✅ Why 3D changes everything: stop studying the club “outside,” start understanding the body “inside” ✅ The difference between positions vs phases (and why a golf swing is a “moving sculpture”) ✅ What Center of Mass actually is, where it sits, and why the pelvis is so tied to it ✅ How COM moves in an “almost infinity-sign” pattern (and why it anticipates the club) ✅ Why elite players get lower than address in transition (and how that fuels speed) ✅ What fascia is (and why the body is a “full web”) + how anatomy chains store/release energy  ✅ The Six Phases: from address → shaft parallel → pelvis rotation → top → max unweighting → impact → hands chest-high ✅ A huge myth at impact: why you should not try to open shoulders as much as the ribcage, and ✅ The “eccentric load” trio: core stretch, lead-shoulder stretch, lead-wrist stretch (and why thoracic rotation matters.)  Key Takeaways Stop copying positions. Many great swings look different—but the best swings move through similar phases. Pelvis movement predicts swing quality. If the pelvis (and COM) moves well, the rest organizes more naturally.  Speed requires going down before going up. The best players drop lower than address, then push up fast into impact. Fascia matters. Efficient golf is stored energy → redirected forces → released energy, not “hit the ball harder.” Carefree beats careful. When golfers chase positions, they get tense; when they move through phases, they flow.  After you have listened to this podcast, go to YouTube, search and subscribe to Mark Immelman and watch the show to see David's graphics and presentation of his golfswing research and how his "Phases of the Swing" work.

You can take a lesson from the best coach in the world and still waste your money. Not because the instruction is bad. Because of how you take the lesson!Shaun Webb and Mike Granato from Athletic Motion golf break down the player's side of the equation... the part almost nobody talks about. How to show up, what information to give your coach, why racing through a bucket of balls ruins everything, why you have to ignore your feels and the strike when you're making a mechanical change, and why every real swing change takes months, not one range session.This is the mindset and the method that separates golfers who get max value out of a lesson from golfers who walk away frustrated and no better.

In this episode of On The Mark, host Mark Immelman welcomes Arjun Malik—one of the leading voices helping grow the game in India—for a deep dive into the part of golf improvement that most players skip: routines and structure.  Mark and Arjun's conversation quickly turns into a practical masterclass on what happens before the shot, after the shot, before the round, and after the round—and how those habits separate serious golfers from weekend “range ball beaters.” Arjun shares his own journey as a self-taught golfer who struggled with “quantity over quality,” including a memorable tournament warm-up where he hit ~300 balls and was exhausted by the back nine. That experience shaped his coaching mission: build systems that help golfers prepare smarter, track performance honestly, and show up on the course with confidence—not chaos. In This Episode, You'll Learn: ✅ Why many golfers work hard but don't improve (the missing ingredient is structure) ✅ A simple post-round template to turn “I played bad” into real feedback ✅ The easiest stats to track (fairways, greens, misses, up-and-downs, 3-putts) and what they reveal ✅ Why golfers get so negative—and how to “count the good shots” to reset your mindset ✅ A fast post-shot reset: what to ask yourself so mistakes don't multiply ✅ How to build a pre-shot routine that fits your learning style (visual vs auditory) ✅ Why your routine should be timed (example: 12 seconds) and trained in the off-season, and ✅ How Tour players “replace the bad with good” using rehearsals after the shot.  Key Takeaways: Less can be more. Improvement isn't about endless reps—it's about purposeful reps. Stats beat emotions. Track a few simple numbers and you'll know exactly what to practice next. Credit the good shots. Most golfers only react to mistakes; better players reinforce the wins too. Reset after every shot. A quick check (“did it start/finish where I wanted?” “what did I feel?”) keeps you present. Your pre-shot routine is a trigger—not a performance. It should create one clear feel and a “ready” click. Develop your routines and go from chaos to clarity on the course.  Download and listen or watch on YouTube - search and subscrbe to Mark Immelman.

The follow-up to the Bad Swing Advice Hall of Fame is finally here. After the first podcast, Mike Granato & Shaun Webb were flooded the comments with one reques... do the BEST swing advice version. So Shaun and Mike sat down and inducted the cues they use to fix more amateur swings than anything else.The first inductee alone fixes 999 out of 1000 golfers. The trail arm has to lift and stay wide in the backswing. Almost every amateur lowers it. Almost every tour player lifts it. It's the single most common move that separates the buckets.They also induct Scott Hamilton's "on plane early" cue, the recentering concept that AMG named years ago, the Lazy Susan downswing, the "no hip turn in the backswing" foundation (with a nod to Dr. Kwon's "turn shoulders, tilt hips"), and the driver tip that finally lines up the clubface without forcing shaft lean.These are the cues AMG uses to coach players off the hamster wheel and into real ball striking improvement.

The long time instructor is a former PGA Teacher of the year, and went into the Minnesota Golf Hall of Fame this spring! He has tutored thousands of golfers in the Midwest and joined Vineeta for this edition of "The Drive!" Find him at www.peterkrausegolf.com

In this episode of On The Mark, host Mark Immelman welcomes back Cordie Walker (last on the show in 2019) for a practical, no-fluff conversation on what actually moves the needle for your golf game: Speed Training with intent, how to make Real Swing Changes, Practice Structure, Course Management using Dispersion, and Wedge Gapping that holds up under pressure.  Cordie shares his journey chasing 180 → 190 → 200mph Ball Speed, why most golfers “speed train” the wrong way, and how dedicated sessions (with a real warmup and real volume) raise your floor, not just your ceiling. Then the conversation pivots into improvement that transfers: Get Better Feedback (video + data), Practice with a Purpose (technique vs skill vs performance), and build a Wedge System that makes “shot #3” a weapon.  In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why “intent” is the missing ingredient in most speed training (and what a real session looks like)  The #1 speed-training sign you're actually going hard enough (yes—it should feel out of control)  How video changes everything: what you feel vs what you actually do  Why swing changes are harder than golfers think—and what it really takes to make them stick  A simple practice framework: Technique vs Skill vs Performance (and why most practice fails)  How great course management can free you up (and when “send it” actually makes sense)  Why dispersion is a shotgun pattern, not a “rifle”—and how to use it to play smarter, and A wedge gapping starting point most golfers skip (and why it's killing your scoring.) Key Takeaways: Speed is trainable—if you train it on purpose. Dedicated sessions, real warmup, and enough volume matter. Feedback is everything. Video + launch monitor data keep you honest and accelerate change. Practice needs a goal. Decide if you're working on technique, skill, or performance—then practice accordingly. Course management isn't “play scared.” Know your dispersion and make emotionless decisions—then commit. Wedge gapping wins tournaments for regular golfers. Build baselines, stop swinging wedges too hard, and refine.

You can get 500 golf lessons a day on Instagram. That's the problem.Shaun Webb and Mike Granato break down what they call the "golf swing hamster wheel" — the trap most amateur golfers are stuck in. Try a tip. Bail after one bad shot. Try the next tip. Spend years working hard and going nowhere.This episode  of the Athletic Motion Golf Podcast is the framework AMG uses to coach players off the hamster wheel for good. The five-step system covers what to look for in an online coach, why most ground force teaching is guessing, the Tony Rogerio 3x5 card rule for real improvement, Jack Nicklaus on why a swing change has to feel weird, and how to use Swing System 2.0 and the Swing Coach app to build a blueprint you don't have to rebuild every six months.What you'll learn:The first question to ask any online coach. "Do you measure?"Why ground force teaching without force plates is mostly guessingThe parking lot analogy that explains why most amateurs never improveThe Tony Rogerio 3x5 note card rule. Three things for a full yearThe Jack Nicklaus answer for "why does this feel weird?"Why feel is the least reliable source of feedback in the golf swingHow to calibrate today's feel against tomorrow's drift

99% of golfers are lowering their trail arm in the backswing. Tour players lift it. This single move is the difference between a swing with power and a swing stuck in a plateau.Shaun Webb and Mike Granato break it all down on today's Athletic Motion Golf Podcast...the trail arm lift epidemic. Why decades of "don't lift your arms" instruction, the Hogan rope image, and the towel-under-arms drill have created an army of golfers fighting their own swing. Backed by 20,000+ swings in the AMG GEARS database and over $2 billion in tour earnings worth of swing data.What you'll learn:- The 5 to 15 degree window every tour player lives in- Why amateurs lower the arm in the same window pros lift it- How the wrong arm position destroys rotation, lag, shallowing, and shaft lean- Why down the line video lies to you and face on tells the truth- The two backswing fixes that have made players better overnight- What "the hoist" is and why your takeaway might be faking it

In this episode of On the Mark, host Mark Immelman sits down with PGA TOUR winner Chris Gotterup to go inside the ropes—covering the real nuts and bolts behind elite performance: power, feel vs. technical thoughts, practice drills, putting improvement, and handling pressure when it matters most.  Chris shares what was happening in his mind and body during his playoff win at TPC Scottsdale, how he trains for speed without getting “too technical” in tournament weeks, and why communication with his caddie is one of the biggest keys to performing under the gun. In This Episode, You'll Discover:  What playoff pressure actually feels like—and how Chris handles it in real time How Chris thinks about power (and the setup tweaks he uses when he wants more distance) Why he avoids technical thoughts during tournament weeks (and saves them for offseason work) The “guardrails” approach: shaping shots without over-complicating your swing Training aids he uses (band, wrist device, HackMotion) and why they help Course management for different venues—Augusta vs. Harbour Town (and why mini driver matters) Putting improvement: start-line work, 3-putt avoidance, and speed training with Tim Yelverton Mental game under chaos (Waste Management), plus a playoff mindset: play to win Chris's favorite win breakdown—and what each victory taught him Key Themes:  Pressure Is Normal—It Means You Care Chris is clear: nerves show up at the highest level, and that's part of competing. Feel First (Tournament Week), Technique Later (Offseason) He'll work on mechanics away from competition, but once the tournament starts, he commits to what he brought that week. “Guardrails” Beat Constant Overhauls He stays inside a preferred shot pattern—then adjusts toward neutral when needed, rather than rebuilding mid-week. Communication Is a Performance Tool When things get loud or fast, Chris slows down by communicating clearly with his caddie about target, shape, and intent.   Episode Takeaways ➡ Power is useful—but it's only valuable if the next shot backs it up.  ➡ Feel-driven golf gets more reliable when you keep your swing inside simple “guardrails.”  ➡ Putting improves when you start with start-line, then build speed control and accountability.  ➡ Under pressure, slow down by communicating clearly—target, shape, and intent.

Why do we measure every golf swing in 3D? Mike Granato and Shaun Webb sit down on the Athletic Motion Golf Podcast to answer the one question they'd never been asked before and the answer goes way deeper than "why guess when you can measure."In this episode, Mike and Shaun break down the difference between perception and perspective in the golf swing, why most golfers (and even most coaches) are stuck on the "hamster wheel" of conflicting advice, and how camera angle and lens choice can make the same exact swing look like three completely different golfers.

Most amateur golfers struggle to improve their game… not because of talent, but because of how they practice golf.In this episode of the Athletic Motion Golf, Mike Granato & Shaun Webb break down the BIGGEST mindset differences between amateur golfers and professional golfers, including PGA Tour players, and why most golfers stay stuck at the same handicap for years.If you've ever wondered why you're not getting better at golf despite spending hours at the range, this is the wake-up call you need.We cover:- Why “beating balls” doesn't improve your golf swing- How pros actually practice (and why it works)- The biggest mistakes amateurs make when trying to get better- Why chasing swing feels and quick fixes keeps you stuck- The importance of structured golf practice and feedbackThis is NOT about swing mechanics… it's about golf mindset, practice strategy, and improvement systems.If you're serious about lowering your handicap, breaking 90, 80, or even getting to scratch… you need to start thinking like a pro.Because the truth is simple:

If you've ever heard of The Golfing Machine by Homer Kelly and wondered whether it's still relevant today… this is the breakdown you've been looking for.In this episode of the Athletic Motion Podcast, Mike Granato & Shaun Webb chat with Brian Manzella to discuss The Golfing Machine book, one of the most talked-about (and misunderstood) golf instruction systems ever created. We cover what Homer Kelly actually intended, the real meaning behind concepts like flat left wrist, swing plane, and lag pressure, and how modern golf science views these ideas today.You'll learn:What The Golfing Machine got RIGHT about the golf swingThe biggest MISCONCEPTIONS instructors still makeWhy many golfers were actually hurt by misinterpretationsHow modern tools like TrackMan and biomechanics compare to Kelly's theoriesThis isn't just another golf lesson — this is a deep dive into golf instruction history, biomechanics, and swing philosophy.Whether you're a coach, low handicap golfer, or just curious about legendary golf instruction systems, this breakdown will give you clarity on one of the most influential golf books ever written.As discussed in the video, many of the interpretations of The Golfing Machine have evolved (and in some cases, been misused), which is why understanding the original intent is critical.

Seth Pepper is a former #1 Ranked Swimmer in the World, a USA National Champion and an American Record Holder.  With his swimming career behind him, Seth is now a Motivational and Keynote Speaker, and a Performance Coach.  He works with athletes of all sporting codes, including golfers to "Unlimit Their Potential."  He joins #OntheMark to help you to think like a pro as he dives into elements of Kobe Bryant's "Mamba Mentality." Seth maps out stories and anecdotes into a simple, applied performance playbook that translates cleanly to golf and high-pressure execution: The Kobe Archetype — A student of the game. Unconditional love from his family whether he scored he succeeded or failed, and how that freed Kob to fail and grow. Internal Drive — Bryant's “kill list” as personal motivation, and how the responsibility for obsession always lives with the athlete. The Mamba Mentality as a tool — How to create a performance persona. And the dsicipline of studying acting and characters to access different mind states on demand.  Seeking Separation and the Continuous Accumulation of Advantages — “Just keep getting better.” The compound effect of incremental gains over time. Kobe's philosophy wasn't about a single "big break"; it was about the relentless accumulation of small advantages that eventually make him untouchable.  Deliberate Practice — A trait that Kobe and Tiger Woods shared. The art of living by “Don't get Bored with the Bbasics.”  The Reset Weapon — Accepting the moment on its own terms to return to flow and presence.  Kobe's process for getting into The Flow State / The Zone. Prepare like a Scientist, Perform like an Artist — Separating analysis from execution. Playing with joy. Love and Greatness — At the highest level it is not about trophies, money, or fame.  It is about honing your craft and studying what you love. This is Seth Pepper's second appearance on the #OntheMark podcast and just like the first time, he delves into his extensive experience and research to help you to perform at your best under pressure.

James Leitz...Golf Digest Top 100 Instructor, Top 100 Club Fitter, and one of the game's earliest adopters of 3D motion capture and force plate technology, joins Mike Granato and Shaun Webb on the Athletic Motion Podcast to break down the framework he calls the "3 Grapes."In this episode, James walks through how the upper torso, pelvis, and center of mass move in the golf swing, why staying still is actually hurting your speed, and what separates a 99 mph Rory McIlroy from a long drive competitor. He also shares the story of how a single phrase from an aeronautical engineer in 1982 — "never guess what you can measure" — shaped an entire career.Topics covered:→ What the 3 Grapes are and how to trace them in GEARS→ Why deceleration in the downswing isn't always bad (and who got it wrong)→ The boat analogy, the jack knife, and how ground force really works→ How James used Kelly Gibson to map club delivery across 9 shot shapes→ Why throwers and laggers need completely different grape positions→ The mental/physical link — what happens to your swing when you get nervous→ D-Plane origins, TrackMan history, and measuring since 1982

In this episode, Jon and Adam explore one of the most common reasoning errors in golf instruction: false dichotomies. Many debates in golf are framed as “either/or” arguments—technique vs feel, steep vs shallow, mechanics vs athleticism—when the reality is far more nuanced. Jon and Adam break down how these faulty binaries show up in instruction, social media discussions, and the way golfers interpret advice. They explain why this type of thinking can slow improvement and create unnecessary confusion for players trying to get better. The episode offers a more balanced framework for evaluating golf ideas without falling into the trap of choosing sides.
