In this episode, Chase and Raymond are joined by Chia Chou, concert pianist, university professor, and founder of Audio Golf.Chia shares how his background in elite music training led him to explore movement, rhythm, tempo, and sound as tools for better performance. The conversation dives into movement sonification, auditory-motor entrainment, putting tempo, wedge distance control, driver sequencing, and why sound can help golfers access skill without getting buried in mechanics.They also discuss where Audio Golf may be most useful, where it has limits, and how mindset still matters when pressure, anxiety, or the yips show up.To learn more about Chia and Audio Golf, visit audio.golf or follow @audio.golf on Instagram.
In this episode of On The Mark, Mark Immelman welcomes Carolin Pinegger (Austrian national team alum, UCF golfer, former LPGA/Symetra player, and now coach + social media star). Carolin shares what it was like competing on Big Break: Myrtle Beach—five weeks isolated, long production days, constant cameras—and why that experience made competitive golf feel easy by comparison. From there, the episode becomes a masterclass on what really wrecks swings: Tension, driven by brain “traffic.” Carolin explains how to train your brain like a muscle, use breathing to shift from “red” (overstimulated) back to “green,” and build dependable systems that hold up under pressure. Then she delivers a set of at-home drills (no range required) to improve grip, sequencing, pressure shift, and putting start line—using everyday items like a hammer, mirror, towels, and books. In This Episode, You'll Discover: What Big Break pressure is really like (cameras, no phones, 3 hours sleep) Why tension happens — and how the brain's “traffic” affects your body The mindset truth: You don't rise to standards — you fall to systems How to move from “red” to “green” using belly breathing, and Why at-home motion training works (less “hit ball” mode, more learning.) Carolin also share 5 Game Improvement drills you can do at home: Drill #1: Hammer & Hinge (fix grip + wrist set, stop early elbow fold) Drill #2: Backswing Sequence (Mirror) (hinge → arms → shoulders → hips) Drill #3: Mirror Depth Check (hands near heels; match top position to your shot shape) Drill #4: Flow / Pressure Shift (towels under feet for rhythm + movement) Drill #5: Book Putting Gate (start-line training + “through” mindset.) Key Takeaways: Your brain is trainable. Treat it like a muscle and build routines that lower “traffic.” Pressure kills feel. Systems hold up when nerves show up. Grip + wrist function matter. Many swing issues start with the trail hand and early elbow fold. Sequence starts in the backswing. Build separation in the backswing, then keep moving through. Putting begins with start line. You can't make it if you can't start it on your intended line. This podcast is also available as a vodcast on YouTube. In fact it is recommendable to watch it so you can learn exactly how to do the drills. Search and subscribe to Mark Immelman.

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.

On this episode of the Mind Caddie, I speak with internationally renowned pianist, professor and co-creator of the Audio Golf System, Chia Chou. At just 17 years old, Chia faced the challenge of competing with elite pianists despite limited natural talent and formal training. Within four years, he developed a revolutionary approach to learning and performance that helped him win a major international piano competition by the age of 21 and later become a professor at a prestigious Austrian music university. Now, Chia is applying those same principles to golf performance through rhythm, tempo and sound. In this fascinating conversation, we explore: How rhythm and tempo influence the golf swing Why your brain may perform better with an "unrelated focus" The connection between music, movement and athletic performance The science of sonification in golf training What your mind should actually focus on during the swing Why golfers often perform better when they stop consciously trying to control movement How sound and audio cues can help stabilise tempo and improve strike quality I've always been fascinated by what occupies the mind during the 1.4 seconds of a golf swing. This episode explores whether focusing on an audio phrase rather than technical mechanics could unlock more natural, instinctive performance.

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.

What if the real power in your golf swing doesn't come from your arms… but from the ground beneath your feet? In this episode of The Mind Caddie, we're joined by world-renowned golf biomechanics expert Scott Lynn to break down ground reaction forces (GRF) — one of the most misunderstood yet powerful elements in modern golf instruction. If you want more distance, consistency, and control, this conversation could completely change how you think about your swing. We explore: How golfers generate power using the ground Why ground reaction forces are the engine of the golf swing The role of biomechanics in improving performance Why every golfer has a unique "stock movement" How to identify and own your natural swing pattern The influence of body types (and why one-size-fits-all instruction fails) Lessons golf can learn from baseball and other sports Why you can't see force — but must learn to feel it The importance of balance and pressure at address How perception and the brain influence performance Scott Lynn has helped shape the way elite coaches understand movement, force, and efficiency in the golf swing. This episode is essential listening for golfers, coaches, and anyone serious about long-term improvement.

Is your golf swing stuck in the past? In Part 3 of "The Rebuild," I'm back in the bay with Quinn Vilneff, Class A PGA of Canada Professional at Gowanus Golf Club in Vancouver. We've fixed the chipping issues, so now it's time to tackle the full swing. The one that's been holding me back for years. If you struggle with pulls, wipey fades, or feel like you just can't compress the ball, this lesson is for you. Quinn breaks down why my 61-year-old baseball background is fighting my golf swing and gives me three simple, actionable feels to finally get my sequencing right. We go deep on Smash Factor, Center of Mass, ground reaction forces, and the "kinematic sequence," but Quinn makes it simple. The result? I gained 15+ yards with my 7-iron almost instantly just by moving my body differently. Are you more of a watcher than a listener?

The fastest way to miss your target is to rush the swing. I've been studying the best golf swings in the world — and getting humbled on the course every weekend trying to replicate them. The problem isn't power. It's patience. Every time I rush my backswing, I miss. And I realized that's not just a golf problem — that's a life problem. In episode #1482, I break down why slowing down isn't falling behind, it's the only way to position yourself to strike when it actually matters. There's a moment at the top of every backswing where everything pauses before everything releases. You need to find that moment in your own life — and know exactly when to unleash. Hit play. Your fairway is waiting. Who This Episode Is For If you've been forcing results that aren't ready yet — this one's for you. Slowing down your backswing isn't weakness. It's how you stop missing and start winning. Key Takeaways Rushing to results before you're prepared doesn't just cost you the win — it can get you blacklisted A slow backswing builds the power and position needed to strike with everything you have Patience isn't sitting on the sideline — it's actively gathering energy for the right moment In running, in golf, and in life — slowing down is what ultimately speeds you up Know where the top of your backswing is — the fine line between patience and lost momentum Questions for Reflection Where in your life are you swinging too hard before you've completed your backswing? What result are you rushing toward that needs more preparation before you strike? Do you know the top of your backswing in your career — the exact point where patience ends and full commitment begins? Action Steps Identify one area where you're forcing results — a pitch, a launch, a relationship — and ask honestly: have you done the backswing work? Define your "top of the backswing" in that area. What does fully prepared actually look like before you swing? This week, slow one thing down deliberately. Not to delay it — to position yourself to hit it clean when it counts. Featured Quote "Slowing down isn't delaying your success. It's ensuring you're in the right position to strike when it matters."
In this episode of the Golf Beneath the Surface podcast, Raymond Prior and Chase Cooper sit down with Dr. Scott Lynn, a biomechanist known for his work in golf and baseball movement research.The conversation explores how biomechanics can help players and coaches better understand movement efficiency, power production, and how the body actually creates speed in the golf swing. Dr. Lynn explains why deceleration patterns are critical for generating power, how foot flare influences motion and ground forces, and why many golfers misunderstand what elite movement really looks like.They also discuss the importance of owning your stock swing and why meaningful improvement still requires time on the golf course, not just time on the range.This episode blends science, coaching, and performance insight to help golfers better understand how the body works in the swing and how that understanding can lead to more effective practice and better performance.Find Dr. Scott Lynn on Instagram @drsklynn.

In this episode of Wake Up, Look Up, Pastor Zach uses an unexpected environmental issue—the billions of golf balls lost each year—to challenge the modern assumption that something is only wrong if its harm is immediately visible. Drawing on Proverbs 14, he argues that human perspective is limited, while God alone sees the long-term and generational consequences of our actions. The episode invites listeners to rethink moral decision-making, trust God's wisdom over personal perception, and consider how seemingly harmless choices may carry far-reaching impact beyond what we can see.Have an article you'd like Pastor Zach to discuss?
