Podcasts about golf swing

Golf instruction has become increasingly technical. Ground forces. Hip rotation. Spine angles. Wrist positions. Speed training. But are golfers paying attention to the wrong thing? In this episode, Mark sits down with Ed LeBeau, founder of Heartland Golf Schools, for a fascinating conversation about simplifying the golf swing and returning the golfer's attention to the one thing that ultimately determines what happens to the ball: The golf club. Drawing heavily from the teachings of legendary instructor Manuel de la Torre, Ed explains why he favors a club-focused approach rather than trying to consciously control individual movements of the body. According to Ed, a successful golf shot ultimately requires three essentials:  Center contact The club moving toward the intended target, and  Enough speed to produce the required distance.  From there, the conversation explores: Balance, Visualization, Grip, Ball Position, Swing Speed, Tempo, Shot Dispersion and why trying harder doesn't always produce better golf. Ed and Mark also discuss Scottie Scheffler, Jack Nicklaus, Hal Sutton, Louis Oosthuizen, Ernie Els, Luke Donald, Henrik Stenson, Manuel de la Torre and Ernest Jones while examining what great players and teachers can teach recreational golfers about simplicity. Among the topics discussed: Why Ed believes modern golf instruction has become too body-focused. Why the golf club — not the body — ultimately controls ball flight. Starting with the desired shot rather than individual swing positions. The powerful role visualization plays before and during a golf shot. Why center contact should be one of every golfer's priorities. How balance helps establish consistent contact. Why target awareness matters during the swing. The advantages of a neutral grip. Scottie Scheffler's remarkably quiet hands and clubface control. Why a golf swing should feel body-friendly and relatively effortless. The difference between maximum speed and maximum effective speed . Why chasing distance can sometimes make golfers worse. Why Ed advises golfers to find the fairway first. Ball position and its influence on clubface orientation. How Manuel de la Torre simplified golf instruction Why there shouldn't be 14 completely different swings for 14 clubs. Using the same basic swing concept from putting through the Driver. How tempo can organize a golf swing. Mark's experience practicing with a Metronome. Why shot dispersion may matter more than obsessing over perfect contact. How golfers can practice without hitting a ball. Why you should write down what works after a lesson, and The golf paradox of looking at the ball without making the ball your primary focus.

Impact is golf's moment of truth—but improving it does not require a perfect-looking swing. Mark Immelman is joined by longtime PGA professional Todd Brenkman for a practical conversation about solid contact, realistic expectations and learning to control where the golf club meets the ground. Drawing on lessons from Johnny Miller and Bobby Clampett, Todd explains why golfers should learn to brush the grass on the forward side of the ball, how the presence of the ball can change the bottom of the swing and why many players would improve faster by practicing without a ball. Mark and Todd also discuss ball position, uneven lies, wrist action, clubface control, functional misses and the dangers of immediately changing your swing after every poor shot. The episode includes simple drills that can help golfers of any ability develop better impact without becoming overwhelmed by technical swing thoughts. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Johnny Miller's simple key to solid iron contact - Why the club should brush the ground on the forward side of the ball How to practice impact without hitting golf balls. What it means to become “ball bound” - Why the presence of a golf ball can move your swing bottom backward. How solid-contact expectations should change based on your handicap - Why functional misses matter more than perfect shots. How to swing freely without steering the golf ball - Why grip and setup remain essential fundamentals. How chipping and punch shots can improve the full swing. Todd's tic-tac-toe bunker drill for controlling the bottom of the swing. How ball position should change with the club and the lie. Why practicing on uneven lies helps transfer your range game to the course. How one productive practice swing can improve contact and pace of play. Why wrist and forearm awareness can help square the clubface. The danger of blaming every poor strike on your swing. Why the clubhead should arrive at the right time—not necessarily be delayed. How to release the club without becoming afraid of “flipping,” and What to focus on when facing a pressure iron shot. Key Takeaways: Brush the Grass Forward of the Ball - Todd shares the foundational lesson he learned from Johnny Miller: draw a line representing the center of the golf ball and learn to brush the grass on the target side of that line. The goal is not to dig a massive divot. It is to develop awareness of where the club first contacts the ground and where the bottom of the swing occurs. Practice Without a Golf Ball - Golfers often become so focused on striking the ball that their natural movement and coordination disappear. Todd will sometimes conduct an entire first lesson without hitting a golf ball. Removing the ball reduces the urge to “hit” and allows the golfer to focus on landing the club correctly. Understand the Ball-Bound Effect - Bobby Clampett taught Todd that the presence of the golf ball can cause the bottom of a player's swing to move backward. A golfer may brush the ground several inches forward of a practice line without a ball, but move much closer to—or behind—the line when a ball is introduced. Learning to maintain the forward swing bottom with the ball present is a major component of consistent iron play. Set Realistic Expectations - Even great players do not strike every golf shot perfectly. Todd offers the following general expectations for solid strikes out of 10 shots: Bogey golfer: approximately one or two Mid-handicap golfer: approximately three or four Single-digit golfer: approximately five or six Elite amateur: approximately six or seven The remaining shots should become functional misses that stay in play and allow the golfer to continue scoring. Do Not Steer the Golf Ball - Trying too hard to manufacture perfect contact can cause the golfer to slow down, guide the club and lose athletic movement. Prepare carefully, then release the club as though you have no worries. A freely swinging club often produces better contact than a motion controlled by fear. Begin With Smaller Swings - Todd does not immediately move golfers into full swings. He begins with chips, punch shots and half swings so the golfer can learn how the club, wrists and arms should behave through impact. If a golfer cannot control impact at a slower speed with a short club, adding length and speed usually makes the problem worse. Use the Tic-Tac-Toe Bunker Drill Draw a tic-tac-toe grid in firm bunker sand and set the club over one of the intersections. Make swings without a golf ball and examine: Where the club entered the sand. Which direction the divot traveled. Whether the center of the club struck the intended intersection. Whether contact would have occurred on the toe or heel. The sand provides immediate feedback that is often more visible than turf. Calibrate Yourself to the Ground - Before playing a shot, make one small brush swing to determine where the ground is. This becomes particularly important on slopes and uneven lies, where a stock ball position may no longer match the bottom of the swing. One meaningful rehearsal is more useful—and faster—than several full-speed practice swings. Check the Simple Fix First - A poor shot does not always require a swing change. The golfer may simply have struck the toe or heel. Todd recalls moving one student only half an inch farther from the ball, immediately improving the player's strike and direction. Before rebuilding the swing, check setup, ball position and strike location. Focus Past the Golf Ball - When facing a pressure shot, Todd gathers the necessary information, uses a brush swing to calibrate the club to the ground and then focuses on sticking the finish. That finish-oriented intention encourages the golfer to send energy through and beyond the ball rather than stopping or steering at impact. Memorable Quotes:  “Learning how to brush the grass, to me, is fundamental number one in golf.” “More shots in the air than not. That's the goal.” “He or she who misses it the best wins.” “Release it like you've got no worries. At least you have no regret.” “Sometimes people are too quick to change what they're working on in search of something else.” “You've got to figure out where the ground is.” This podcasts is also available as a vodcast on YouTube.  Search for and subscribe to Mark Immelman.

What if the secret to better golf is not another swing theory, launch-monitor number or technical rabbit hole—but learning how to truly play the game? Mark Immelman sits down with 3x PGA TOUR winner, NCAA National Champion, Texas State Golf Hall of Famer and respected golf broadcaster Billy Ray Brown for an honest conversation about the lessons Billy Ray wishes he had understood earlier in his career. His biggest realization? You do not have to be perfect to play great golf. Billy Ray explains why golf is a game of recovery, how an uncomfortable Christmas Day practice session transformed his short game and why players must learn to solve problems without immediately turning to a coach or a collection of data. Mark and Billy Ray also explore the importance of grip, setup, ball position, clubface awareness and active hands. They discuss Scottie Scheffler, Adam Scott, Dustin Johnson, Jackson Suber, Ben Hogan, Byron Nelson, Arnold Palmer and the Harmon family while examining how great players build swings that perform under pressure. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why chasing perfection can keep golfers from playing their best. How Billy Ray transformed his short game in only a few months. Why golf should be viewed as a game of recovery. The difference between productive practice and simply filling time. Why golfers should practice the shots that make them uncomfortable How feel and technique work together. Why self-discovery builds adaptable, resilient players How technology and data can help—and when they become distractions. Why grip, stance, alignment and ball position still matter. How clubface awareness allows great golfers to save imperfect swings. Why different grips require different body motions and matchups. How course conditions should influence the swing and shot, and Why the ultimate goal is to play golf rather than chase a perfect-looking motion. Key Takeaways: You Do Not Have to Be Perfect - Great golf is not produced by hitting every shot perfectly. Every player will miss greens, struggle with portions of the game and face situations that require creativity. The best players accept that reality and become skilled at recovering. Build a Short Game That Travels - Billy Ray recalls entering college as an excellent tee-to-green player who was not good enough around the greens. After his coach contacted his father, Billy Ray spent a cold Christmas Day working alone on his chipping. That experience began a transformation that helped him earn a place in the University of Houston lineup and win an NCAA championship later that spring. Practice What Makes You Uncomfortable - Golfers naturally gravitate toward clubs and shots they already hit well. Productive practice requires the opposite approach. Work on the awkward lies, partial wedges, flighted irons, recovery shots and uncomfortable situations that will eventually appear on the course. Learn to Figure It Out - Players who always turn to someone else after a poor shot can become dependent on external feedback. Billy Ray believes golfers must spend time experimenting, observing the ball and learning what their own motions feel like. That self-awareness gives players the ability to make adjustments during competition.  Fundamentals Provide the Foundation Modern technology offers valuable information, but Billy Ray continually returns to the same fundamentals: Grip Stance Alignment Ball position, Distance from the ball, Clubface control, A consistent setup gives the swing a better opportunity to organize itself naturally. The Ball Does Not Lie - Launch monitors can provide useful measurements, but the flight of the golf ball remains the clearest form of feedback. Golfers should learn to recognize why the ball curved, launched too high, spun too much or started offline. Play the Shot the Course Requires - Firm ground, wind, changing green speeds and difficult lies require adaptation. A golfer's motion should respond to the shot and environment—not remain locked into one predetermined swing model. Play Golf, Not Golf Swing - The objective is simple: get the ball into the hole in the fewest possible strokes. Technique matters, but only when it helps the golfer accomplish that goal. Memorable Quotes: “You do not have to be perfect in this game.” “The most complex thing about learning to play the game is keeping it simple.” “The ball doesn't lie.” “You have to go to the most uncomfortable situations and put yourself in there.” “Play the game, not swing the golf club.” This podcast is also available as a vodcast on YouTube - search and subscribe to Mark Immelman and leave a comment.

In this episode of On The Mark, Mark Immelman is joined by newly professional golfer Dax Isbell for a thoughtful and inspiring conversation about competitive golf, pressure, faith, failure, process, and what it really takes to access your skills when the stakes are high. Dax recently earned his first professional victory on the GPro Tour in just his fourth start. He shares what he has already learned from making cuts, missing cuts, playing for money, handling pressure, and trying to stay aggressive when the natural temptation is to protect. Mark and Dax discuss why the pressure of making a cut can sometimes feel heavier than the pressure of trying to win, and Dax explains how golfers can get trapped in “prevent defense” instead of continuing to play with freedom and intent. The conversation also goes deeper than swing mechanics. Dax shares how his faith shapes his approach to golf, why he believes identity cannot be tied to scores or results, and how his daily system of belief, consistency, preparation, and execution is helping him grow as both a player and a person. This episode is packed with wisdom for competitive golfers, junior golfers, parents, coaches, and any player who wants to better understand how to practice, compete, fail, reset, and keep pursuing the game with purpose.

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.

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.

"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.

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.
