"Whether it's to get better at golf as a game or improve as an executive or you're somebody who wants dedicate their life to the industry and send their kids to college, you've got to surround yourself with people that are better than you are and that certainly has happened for me. A high tide raises all ships and it's elevated my ability to be a good provider for my family, but also feel fulfilled in a life that's dedicated to golf because I just dig it." PGA of America President and Owner/Operator of Augusta Ranch Golf Club Don Rea joins host Colin Weston to share his 25 year journey advocating for the game and industry that he deeply loves. "Some people say that they're professional golfers on The PGA Tour and we're golf professionals. There is no doubt the mission of the PGA of America is having 31,000 men and women out there every day trying to help people get it airborne. I believe we're the voice of the golfer in the game. There's 28.1 million out there playing. And who do they talk to? Well, they talk to our members. They talk to me. So we're their voice when it comes to any issues that might face golf. We're the first people they come to. We're the first responders of golf." https://media24.fireside.fm/file/fireside-uploads-2024/images/1/1ea879c1-a4a2-4e10-bea4-e5d8368a3c7a/NwuzeR1D.jpg "The special thing about a college campus is that when you go there, there's a connection to that place. It always will be. And the alumni of that tell everybody why they should go to their college. We never had that. And that's what the new PGA of America headquarters is. It's not just a building. It's our home. There's two championship golf courses, a 10-hole lit golf course that's crazy busy every night, a two-acre putting green where little kids are running around in their bare feet with their big putters that are bigger than they are just putting around. For us, it's our why. There's a lot of relationships out there and ROIs of why you invest in something or partner with somebody. But for us, it's not about that. You need to know our why and why we exist. You can talk about a why, you can show it, you can see it, you can feel it and smell it. And that's what the home quarters of the PGA of America is." "That's where the 31,000 members ensure that we do everything we can to leverage the assets of the PGA of America to tell the story of the PGA professional so that we're serving them. And in the end that's our mission. Serve the member and grow the game. It's just that simple." https://media24.fireside.fm/file/fireside-uploads-2024/images/1/1ea879c1-a4a2-4e10-bea4-e5d8368a3c7a/AIrm15Wa.jpg https://media24.fireside.fm/file/fireside-uploads-2024/images/1/1ea879c1-a4a2-4e10-bea4-e5d8368a3c7a/Apjjd4xt.jpg PGA of America's New Headquarters Campus in Frisco Texas Join our mission to make golf more innovative, inclusive and fun... and WIN some awesome golf gear!

(00:01) Weekend Golf Guys This chapter explores the lighthearted banter and golfing wisdom shared between John Ashton and Jeff Smith. As the winter thaw begins, we touch on the humorous differences in climate between snow-laden Indiana and sunny Southern California. Jeff recounts a playful exchange with a director of golf about the unexpected presence of clouds in California, highlighting his signature sarcastic humor. Shifting gears, we address the often confusing advice given on how tightly to grip a golf club, critiquing vague analogies like holding a bird or a tube of toothpaste. Jeff shares a practical experiment he conducted with a squeezy ball to illustrate how grip strength is subjective and varies from person to person. Through this exercise, we emphasize the need for individualized understanding of grip strength to improve one's golf game. (12:08) Improved Grip Pressure for Better Control This chapter focuses on the importance of grip control in improving a golfer's game. We emphasize that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to finding the right grip pressure, but achieving the right grip is crucial for consistent performance. I share an exercise where golfers use only their left hand to test their control during a backswing, often revealing a lack of grip stability. By adjusting the placement of the club in the hand, particularly at the base of the pinky finger, golfers experience better control and power. This newfound control not only enhances ball striking but also boosts confidence, leading to improved overall performance. Through this simple adjustment, golfers feel a stronger connection with the club, making it an extension of their arm, without altering their grip orientation in a way that feels uncomfortable. (23:54) Right Hand Force in Golf This chapter explores the transformative process of improving golf skills, starting with the short game to build confidence and control. We begin by focusing on the importance of making solid contact with the ball and understanding the mechanics behind it. By addressing common issues like scuffing and sculling, we help players achieve immediate success and comfort around the greens. As they progress, they gain control over longer shots, seeing straighter and cleaner ball flights. The discussion highlights the significance of using both hands effectively, particularly the often-overlooked role of the right hand, in enhancing performance. Through practical exercises and common-sense comparisons to other sports, we demonstrate the importance of applying pressure to the backside of the shaft for better control and power. The goal is to shift the mindset from simply turning the body to engaging the hands actively, leading to more accurate and powerful swings. (34:40) Generating Power Through Firm Foundations This chapter explores the essential role of stability and a solid base in generating power during athletic movements. We examine how athletes, from golfers to baseball and tennis players, leverage a firm connection to the ground to maximize force and efficiency. By using examples such as the stance of a pitcher or the balance of a tennis player, we illustrate how coiling against a stable base enhances performance. A key takeaway is the transformation seen in a golfer's swing when proper stance adjustments are made, resulting in a significant increase in driving distance. This insight underscores the importance of efficient energy use and the potential for improvement by refining one's foundational technique. (43:43) Weekend Golf Game With Those Guys This chapter focuses on the concept of "powerful effort" versus "effortless power" in the context of improving your golf game. We emphasize the importance of understanding the distinction between making a strong effort and harnessing natural, effortless power to enhance performance on the course. By exploring this idea, we provide listeners with insights and strategies to refine their skills. We encourage listeners to revisit past episodes for further entertainment and valuable information, reminding them of the wealth of content available to help improve their game. We also invite questions and interaction with Jeff for personalized advice, reinforcing the interactive and supportive community we strive to create. Join us weekly and make us a part of your journey to becoming a better golfer.

Today on the podcast we are joined by author and coach Cameron Strachan who has written the provocatively titled book ‘How to Unf__k your Golf Swing' He has made it his life's work to demystify the golf swing and get players away from too much technical thinking It may not be for everyone but for many it will be a refreshing departure from the barrage of technical positions and theory How can we make learning the golf swing much simpler? This question has driven Cameron in his quest for years How can we give golfers the smallest amount of information that has the biggest effect? The technical overload we are all suffering from Why the default is to seek out more information We are designed to use tools skilfully yet we often ignore that fact The biomechanical research on efficient movement What if the game was just like making an underarm throw? Would you feel capable of doing that? How much would that simplify things? Make a throwing motion with the club How simplification increases feel As we discussed Cameron firmly believes that the game of golf COULD be as simple as throwing a ball If the game becomes more simple then you are free to focus on other things like the golf course and actually enjoying your experience To get Cameron's book go to https://www.autogolfshop.com/unfck-your-golf-swing/ To start your FREE Mind Caddie 7 day trial go to https://www.mindcaddie.golf/ To book your Mind Caddie workshop at your club go to www.themindfactor.com OFFICIAL BRAND AMBASSADOR : Fenix Apparel and Accessories Co.
