Podcasts about golfers

The episode explores why golfers should not expect to feel fully comfortable on the course, especially under pressure, and how accepting nerves, bad swings, or lingering fears can help keep a round together. There is also a debate about whether golfers should tee the ball up on par threes, which is tied to a larger conversation about margin for error, reducing big mistakes, and testing what works best for your own game. Finally, the episode covers how on-course personality affects performance, and why finding the right balance between focus on the ball and staying relaxed between shots can be a major unlock for both scoring and enjoyment.

TSN Golf Analyst Bob Weeks joined OverDrive to discuss the latest developments from the RBC Canadian Open, Adam Svensson being his Canadian player to watch, the other Canadians in the field, the possibility of the PGA Tour targeting the top golfers from LIV, what is next for PGA and more!

HOUR 1 - History was made in Game 4 of the NBA Finals last night. The Stanley Cup Finals continue tonight with Game 5 in Carolina. The World Cup begins today. Golfers have tee'd off to begin the RBC Canadian Open. And Week 2 of the CFL begins tonight with Hamilton taking on Winnipeg. Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals goes tonight in Raleigh, North Carolina. The Hurricanes and Vegas Golden Knights are tied 2-2. Will we see a similar game tonight that we have seen all series or will one team begin to pull away? The Green Zone

TSN's Bob Weeks on the Canadian Open and plans for the tournament in the future, 21 Canadians in the field, a deep field at the RBC, and moving the tournament around.

This past weekend reminded us why we love this game. At the center of it all was Nelly Korda, who won her first U.S. Women's Open at Riviera — her fourth major — with a clutch birdie on 17 and a par putt on 18 that circled the lip and dropped in for the win. Seven shots off the lead after round one, she made a grip change on her sister Jessica's advice and shot 67-67-69 to close it out. That's not luck. That's what elite athleticism looks like under pressure — and it's exactly what sets the LPGA women apart. Born into arguably the most athletic family in sports, the daughter of Czech tennis champions, Korda's rotational power, her ability to reset physically mid-round, her body that holds its pattern when everything tightens — that's a trained athlete performing at the highest level. The LPGA women move differently. This week at Riviera proved it.The rest of the weekend didn't disappoint either. JT Poston won a marathon Memorial Tournament in a playoff after blowing a four-shot lead, grinding through a 31-hole Sunday to birdie 18 when it mattered most. New dad Tyrrell Hatton went wire-to-wire at Valderrama to hold off Rahm on LIV. And 35-year-old Ben Kohles chased a fifth Korn Ferry Tour win across 1,016 career professional rounds — the definition of the long game. With Shinnecock Hills and the US Open two weeks away, Scott breaks down what all of it means for your game: why movement under pressure is the separator at every level, and how you can start building the kind of athletic foundation that holds up when something is actually on the line.

Golfers agree on a lot of things. We love the game. We obsess over equipment. We plan trips months in advance and can spend hours discussing a single hole, club, or round. What golfers do not do particularly well is agree with each other. That idea is the foundation behind Splitting Fairways, a new podcast from THP that explores the conversations golfers are already having every day. Hosted by Ryan “Hawk” and Jeremy “Lord Tox”, the show takes topics from around the game and examines them from opposing viewpoints. The goal is not to crown a winner or loser. Instead, it is to explore both sides of the debate and understand why golfers often see the same issue so differently. Golf is full of these conversations. Equipment. Travel. Etiquette. Golf culture. Style. Fitting. The way we experience the game continues to evolve, and not every golfer feels the same way about those changes. Splitting Fairways was created to provide a place for those discussions while keeping the focus on what brings golfers together in the first place: a shared passion for the game. For the inaugural episode, we start with a question that sounds simple on the surface: Are golf shorts getting too short? What began as a discussion on the THP Forum quickly revealed something much bigger. Golfers were not really arguing about inseam length. They were debating what golf should look like today. For some, modern golf fashion represents a natural evolution of the game. Golf apparel has become more athletic, more comfortable and more reflective of broader style trends. Just as equipment, instruction and course design have changed over time, many believe golf fashion should continue evolving as well. Others see things differently. They believe certain trends move too far away from the traditions that helped define golf for generations. For them, presentation remains part of the experience, and some modern styles simply do not fit the image they associate with the game. That tension sits at the heart of the discussion. The conversation touches on self-expression, golfer identity, generational perspectives and the difference between etiquette and personal preference. Most importantly, it explores whether golf can continue evolving without losing the elements that made people fall in love with it in the first place. In many ways, Splitting Fairways Episode 1 serves as the perfect introduction to what Splitting Fairways aims to be. The topic may be golf shorts, but the discussion is really about identity. It is about how golfers view the game, how those views change over time and why even seemingly small topics can generate strong opinions. After watching or listening to Splitting Fairways Episode 1 we want to hear from you! Are golf shorts getting too short, or is this simply another example of golf evolving with the times? Let us know where you stand in the comments below, and welcome to Splitting Fairways. THPGolf · Splitting Fairways – Are Golf Shorts Getting Too Short?

The most important putting lesson of the year didn't come from the winner. Russell Henley birdied his final three holes in regulation to catch 54-hole leader Eric Cole, then converted again in the playoff to win the Charles Schwab Challenge at 12-under. Cole, 37, had been here before — this was his third runner-up finish on the PGA Tour and his first win is still waiting. But here's what's fascinating: through 54 holes, Cole led the field in Strokes Gained: Putting and Proximity to the Hole — the two most "boring" disciplines in the game. No highlight-reel drives. No flashy recoveries. Just relentless precision on the greens and dialed-in distance control, week after week. "That's why I practice really hard and that's why I try and do everything the way I do," Cole said — "so that I could be as prepared for whatever tomorrow brings."  That's this week's Improvement Pivot Point: learn to love working on the mundane. The stuff nobody films. The 10-foot putts you roll for an hour. The alignment drills. The putting gate. The things that feel like nothing — until Sunday at Colonial, when they become everything. Scott also breaks down Joaquin Niemann's playoff win at LIV Korea, Céline Boutier's stunning Sunday charge on the LPGA, Kota Kaneko's breakthrough on the DP World Tour, and Doc Redman's Korn Ferry victory in Knoxville. Five tours. Five lessons. All of it pointing back to the same truth — the work you do on the mundane is what makes the magic possible. That's how you Own Your SSWING.Shop the new G'day Golfers hat

In this episode, we take a deep dive into one of golf's most misunderstood words: consistency. Adam and Jon unpack why consistency is not about making the exact same swing every time, but rather learning how to manage variability, improve impact patterns, and build bigger margins for error. They discuss why golfers often make themselves less consistent by trying to control too much, and how external focus, differential practice, smarter strategy, and better expectations can all help. If you've ever wondered why your good shots and bad shots can show up in random order, this episode will give you a much clearer framework for understanding what consistency really means in golf.

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.

This week, Tom Irwin and Steve Carroll react to Aaron Rai's stunning PGA Championship win and relive their own chaotic debut as a pairing in the NCG Top 100s Summer Match Play. But it isn't long before the conversation turns back to the World Handicap System. Why are handicap allowances still confusing golfers? Why do clubs stick to the same tees every week? And if your score can be adjusted anyway… why can't competitions be more flexible? It's majors, match play, medal tees, and more WHS frustration on this week's NCG Golf Podcast.

Aaron Rai just shocked the golf world — but was it really a shock?At the 2026 PGA Championship, a 290-1 long shot stepped onto one of the most crowded leaderboards in major championship history and did something most players never figure out: he turned down the volume. While Rory McIlroy chased history, Jon Rahm lurked, and a packed field jostled for position at Aronimink, Aaron Rai went quietly to work — and thundered to a three-shot victory, becoming the first Englishman to win the Wanamaker Trophy in over a century.This week, we break down the one skill separating the player who cracks under pressure from the one who cashes in on it: quieting the noise. From Rai's "quiet eye" putting technique to his iron covers rooted in a father's love, to his total indifference to what tour players are "supposed" to do — Rai's win is a masterclass in what happens when you Own Your SSWING so completely that the external chaos simply can't compete.Whether you're facing a packed leaderboard, a crowded market, or a moment that feels too big — this episode is your blueprint for finding stillness in the storm and turning it into something thunderous.Shop the new G'day Golfers hat

Recently, the course underwent significant renovations to enhance its challenge and playability. With over 170 bunkers added, including some holes with as many as twenty bunkers, the course promises to test even the most skilled golfers. The decision to rework Aronimink was not just about aesthetics; it was about making the course championship-worthy. The renovations aimed to restore Donald Ross's original designs while modernizing the course to meet today's competitive standards. Golfers can expect a more dynamic playing field that offers different strategies and challenges each day.Increased Number of BunkersOne of the most notable changes is the doubling of bunkers from 75 to 174. This alteration significantly impacts the strategy players must employ throughout their rounds. With more sand traps in play, golfers will need to be more precise with their shots, adding an extra layer of excitement to the tournament.The reconfiguration of tee boxes allows for variability in play, meaning that some holes can be drivable on one day and require a long iron on another. This unpredictability keeps both players and fans on their toes, making every round thrilling.With the PGA Championship being one of the four major tournaments, it attracts the top players from around the world. This year, keep an eye on past champions and rising stars who may thrive in the challenging conditions of Aronomink. For those attending the championship, the atmosphere promises to be electric.

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

Steve and Dave Jolliffee realized that driving ranges lacked feedback. Golfers need feedback to improve, so they created a way to get feedback. Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not so secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector and storyteller. I’m Stephen’s sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today’s episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, but well, it’s us, but we’re highlighting ads we’ve written and produced for our clients. So here’s one of those. [Seaside Plumbing Ad] Dave Young: Welcome back to the Empire Builders Podcast. I’m Dave Young. I’m sitting here with Stephen Semple. Well, actually, I’m not sitting here with him. I see him. He’s on the screen. Stephen Semple: We’re virtually together. Virtually. Dave Young: This is an international podcast. Stephen Semple: It is, actually. It is actually very good. Dave Young: By the way, I know I think the He-Man episode has dropped. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Yeah. Dave Young: The artwork that Matt Burns or whoever did it for that one. Stephen Semple: Yes. Matthew did it. Dave Young: Yeah, that was great. He sent me that. Stephen Semple: Actually, the one that I really like was the one that he did for PT Barnum. I thought that that was fun, where you’re the guy hocking the tickets. Dave Young: I haven’t seen that either. He sent them all to me. For some reason, he sent that one to me. I should probably subscribe to this podcast and listen to it. Anywho, Steve. So, Stephen whispered in my ear the topic that we’re going to cover today, and it’s actually one that I sent him. Stephen Semple: You actually whispered in my ear. Dave Young: Yeah, I did. I kind of did. I was surprised that you were ready to do it. And it’s the story of Rose Blumpkin and Nebraska Furniture Mart. She’s one of my local heroes back in my home state in Nebraska. Stephen Semple: Sorry, that’s not the one we’re going to be talking about. Dave Young: Oh, sure. Stephen Semple: You sent me another idea. That one, I’m going to do, but I don’t have all the research on it. Dave Young: Okay. So we have to start all over. Stephen Semple: No, or we could just keep going with this, Topgolf. Dave Young: Oh, right. Yeah. Stephen Semple: You also sent me… You want to just keep going with this? Dave Young: So now people know that we’re going to talk about Rose Blumkin at some point. Stephen Semple: Yes. Yeah, sure. Dave Young: That’s a cool story. You just want to make me look as scatterbrained as I really am. So, Topgolf. Stephen Semple: Authenticity. We’re just going for authenticity here. Dave Young: Yeah. So, Topgolf. I just thought we were talking about this other thing that I sent you. So yeah, I’d love to talk about Topgolf. So both of these businesses, since we’re not talking about Rose Blumpkins, I’ve been to each of them one time. Stephen Semple: Okay. Dave Young: My experience level is X equals one. Sample equals one size. Stephen Semple: Okay. Dave Young: But I saw the story about Topgolf or it was a video, wasn’t it? Stephen Semple: It was a video that you sent me. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It was super interesting and so much so that I ended up, as soon as it was done that night I had some time. I did a bunch of research, wrote it up and said, “We’re going to cover it,” because it’s a very interesting story. Dave Young: To me, if you want the TLDR version of it, the guys that started Topgolf thought they were in the golf business. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: No, they weren’t. Stephen Semple: No, they weren’t. Dave Young: They had no idea what business they were in. Stephen Semple: And this is the reason why I wanted to talk about this. So this is an idea, Dave, that you suggested to me. And when I looked into the history, there’s a couple of twists in this that I thought were super interesting that every business could learn from. And yeah, the story of this is that they didn’t really understand what business they were in. And when they found out what business they were in, they became super successful. And then the company that bought them lost sight of what business they were in and failed. It’s this crazy thing. So before we get into that, I want to hear about your experience at Topgolf because you went there and you’re not a golfer. Dave Young: No, I’m trying to think of who we went… It was a work thing I think. Stephen Semple: Perfect. Dave Young: And that’s typical, right? It was a bunch of us from work. It was actually a super hot day here in Austin, but they have giant fans blowing on you. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: They’re the kind of business where, I don’t know. There’s lots going on and they’re pulling money out of your pocket all different directions. Right? Stephen Semple: At their heart, they’re a driving range. And it was started. The first Topgolf was built in Watford, England in 2000 by two brothers, Steve and Dave Jolffi. And these guys were golfers, tinkers, problem solvers, but they were not backed by big money. They were not from the golf industry and they were not tech guys. They were just two guys went to a driving range and saw a problem. Dave Young: Yeah. They’re like, “I don’t know where my ball went.” Right? Stephen Semple: Right. Start off with the problem of golf lacks feedback. So when you go to the driving range, you’re practicing, yet you don’t know how far the ball went, how straight it went, nothing, no feedback. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: So over the course of three years, they played around and figured out how to embed a chip inside the golf ball. Remember, this is pre 2000, pre iPhone, pre all of that. The whole idea of something being able to track the speed of something really new, right? Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: You got to remember that. So the goal was to track every shot. The other thing they needed to figure out was targets that could take impact and speed and a system that translate this and the scores and make it durable enough to do it outdoors. So, 2000, Watford, England, it was ahead of its time. It was kind of cool and no one cared. Dave Young: Sure. Stephen Semple: Traditional golfers didn’t see the point. Non-golfers were not drawn in. It was not quite a sport. It was not quite entertainment. It stood for nothing. Being different does not equate into being desired. Being cool doesn’t equate into being desired. So they had to ask themselves this question. Why is this not catching on? So here’s what they did. They reimagined the entire environment and experience. They created covered base, so the weather didn’t matter. They put in lounge style seating, driving range. You can kind of all sit together. Dave Young: You could go with your friends. Yeah. Stephen Semple: Make it social. They put food and drink in. So people stayed longer. They put music in energy. It now became fun. Suddenly, it was a place to hang out. It was a night out. People came in groups. Non-golfers like Dave Young came. Dave Young: That’s right. And so you think about a driving range and it’s like going fishing. That’s interesting. It’s solitary. It’s, I’m going to go hit a bucket of balls. And usually what that means is I’m not necessarily working on my game, I’m just going to get inside my own head and process and think. And if you just do that on a park bench, people think you’re stalking. It reminds me of Thomas Edison. He used to walk down to the end of a pier near his office and sit on a bench with a fishing pole and he never had a hook on it. He would just sit there with a fishing pole and people would leave him alone because he’s fishing. Stephen Semple: Because he’s fishing. That’s interesting. Dave Young: Versus if you go stand on the end of a pier without a fishing pole and you’re standing there for hours, people will start to wonder what you’re thinking about, what’s your plan there. So driving range versus going with a bunch of friends to a “driving range,” two different things. Stephen Semple: Well, and here’s the other thing is a non-golfer doesn’t want to go out on a golf course because that’s hit the ball six inches, hit the ball. But to a driving range, sure, because it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t go anywhere you sit down, the next person hits. Dave Young: Yeah. It’s just a new version of putt-putt, right? Stephen Semple: Exactly. So this created this environment where you didn’t really need to know how to swing the club to have a good time. It turned a driving range into a social outing. It became entertainment, not sport. So enter Eric Anderson from West River Group, private equity company. Eric came across this idea and thought it was perfect for the US market. They invested a bunch of money in the company, took it to a new level with high-end restaurants and bars. And then in 2005, they opened a location in Texas. And it was a crazy hit. When it opened, there was hours long lineup. It was nuts. By 2010, it was a cultural phenomena. It was a hit with millennials. And this is a big deal because in 2010, golf is in a decline and it’s not attracting a younger audience. So suddenly, you’ve got this driving range, which is attracting all these people and it’s attracting millennials. In an October of 2020, during the pandemic, Callaway who had been actually an early investor in this, Callaway announces they’re purchasing the remaining 86% for $2 billion. Dave Young: And so here’s the thing, Callaway’s in the golf business. Stephen Semple: Hold that thought. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: Hold that thought. Hold that thought. Yeah. No, seriously, hold it because yes, you’re right. Callaway’s in the golf business and Callaway’s looking at this and going, oh my God- Dave Young: Here’s the future of golf. Stephen Semple: … the group that we’re trying to attract. Here’s the future of golf. Not only did they buy Topgolf, they rebranded Callaway to Topgolf Callaway. And initially, there was a bump in sales of Callaway stuff because they had to also supply the clubs and the balls to these venues. And they were expanding the venues like- Dave Young: Why would they have any other clubs? Stephen Semple: Right. And they were expanding the venues like crazy. And they launched new products like quantum drivers and Chrome tour balls, things that were fun, right? Fun. Because they would put those fun things into the driving range, into the Topgolf driving range, and people would love it. So they thought this would be a fun thing to take to a golf course. Dave Young: But? Stephen Semple: Here’s the core problem. Dave Young: Stay tuned. We’re going to wrap up this story and tell you how to apply this lesson to your business right after this. [Using Stories To Sell] Dave Young: Let’s pick up our story where we left off and trust me you haven’t missed a thing. Stephen Semple: Here’s the core problem. Callaway’s in the sports business and this was an entertainment venue. Dave Young: That’s right. That’s right. Just because I went to Topgolf once doesn’t mean I ever went back to a driving range. I used to golf. I used to golf. Stephen Semple: Right. Dave Young: And a driving range was always… It was a good introverted experience, but I wasn’t any good at golf. And I bowled for a while too, and I quit both sports the same year because my average was the same in both. Stephen Semple: So the bowling average was pretty good. Dave Young: You think about that, right? Low hundreds in both sports is no good. Stephen Semple: So the interesting thing, because again, initially, the numbers looked good, they launched all this stuff. It looked great, but beneath the surface, the synergy was actually a financial illusion because the core problem is Topgolf was an entertainment business. Topgolf was a restaurant and a bar with a driving range attached. Topgolf was not a driving range with a bar attached. Dave Young: I wouldn’t even- Stephen Semple: Millennials who came out… Yeah. The people who came out and swung a club, it did not convert into people going to the golf course and buying Callaway equipment. Dave Young: I think it’s a stretch calling it a driving range. I think it’s- Stephen Semple: Fair enough. Dave Young: It’s an electronic game that you use golf clubs and golf balls to try to score and win and play. Stephen Semple: Fair enough. Dave Young: I don’t think anybody… Well, maybe people- Stephen Semple: Would I’ve not been to one. I only saw pictures of it. Dave Young: Maybe people that go to Topgolf will go to a driving range to practice. I don’t know. I don’t know. The problem Callaway had was they weren’t converting people into actually going to a golf course. Stephen Semple: Correct. Dave Young: And buying golf clubs. Stephen Semple: Right, because they saw the business wrong. And what ended up happening, the business started actually declining because even the changes that they started making to the facility was through the eyes of a golfer and this being a sport, not this being entertainment. Now what ended up happening is when it all spun apart, Callaway ended up offloading the business to Leonard Green and Partners for basically a billion dollars. So they lost it. Dave Young: They lost a bit of dough. Stephen Semple: Well, they lost a billion on the purchase. And in addition, they had invested a ton of money in building these things out. This was a huge loss for Callaway. Dave Young: And so the thing that they misread was thinking that this was the future of golf and we’re going to sell a lot of clubs because of this. We’re going to sell a lot of clubs, all the things that we manufacture for the golf world. And I think of the golf world, and I think of almost like a white shoe law firm. I don’t think the people that spend big, big money playing golf or spending big, big money on Topgolf or vice versa. Stephen Semple: Well, there may be- Dave Young: If you’re a scratch golfer, you could go to Topgolf and clean up on your friends. Stephen Semple: Well, what I’m going to say is people who are already golfing would go to Topgolf because it’s fun. People who aren’t golfers who go to Topgolf are not going to suddenly become golfers. And that’s what Callaway thought was going to happen. All golfers will go to Topgolf, but not all Topgolf people will become golfers. And what I find that’s so interesting about this- Dave Young: Golf was the entry point for Topgolf, but Topgolf turns out is not the entry point for golf. Stephen Semple: Great. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: So the thing I find that’s really interesting about this, Steve and Dave, the founders, initially failed and became successful when they changed how they looked at the business and said, “This is an entertainment business. This is not a golf business.” Then Callaway buys it thinking it’s a golf business, not an entertainment business, and the whole thing spun apart. And I sit there and I go, “This is where understanding a history of a company is so important.” If Callaway had asked Dave and Steve one question, “What was the insight you had that made this successful?” And they said, “This is not about golf, this is about entertainment.” And if they’d listened to it, the outcome of this would have been really different. The DNA of the business was that lesson that was then ignored by the acquirers. Dave Young: It was Margarita’s and hot wings. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: It was hanging with your friends. It was a different version of a pool hall. It was a different version of a bowling alley or- Stephen Semple: It’s a different version of David Busters. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: Yes. It’s a different version of all those things. That is the environment in which they were operating. Dave Young: And I think if you take it just even at a slightly deeper level, it’s an extroverted golf experience. Stephen Semple: Yes. Yes. Dave Young: There are many, many golfers who golf to get away from everyone. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: Right? There are some that golf to be with their buddies or for business purposes or whatever. But I know so many people that will golf by themselves early in the morning. You couldn’t drag them into a Topgolf because just loud rock and roll and- Stephen Semple: Here’s where you could drag them into a Topgolf if you said, “Hey, let’s do a corporate retreat. Let’s do a team building thing. Let’s do something.” Because your choice is this. You can go to a restaurant, you can go to a bar or you can go to this thing where you do something together as a group of people. And frankly, that ended up being a lot of the Topgolf business was that exactly. Dave Young: Oh, sure. It might’ve been Julie’s work. I don’t think it was Wizard Academy. We thought about doing a Christmas party at Topgolf and then we just decided that’s too much money on stuff that none of us really like anyway. But it’s an outing. Stephen Semple: Right. But it’s an outing and it’s say you had an office where half the people were golfers and half weren’t. It was a way better outing than going to a golf course because everyone would now have fun. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: So here’s the lesson. I want to leave our listeners with a lesson here because here’s what I think it is. If your business is struggling a little bit, sometimes you have to really understand what is your business. Jewelers who sell engagement rings are not in the diamond business. They’re in the connection, love, commitment business. If you are in the marriage business, you’re in the commitment business, you’re in the love business, you’re not in the sparkly diamond business. And to me, this was the most interesting example of looking at it going… And one could say, “Well, sports entertainment, kind of the same.” No, they aren’t. They live in different places in the human mind and are thought about differently. And when you’re considering doing something are in completely different worlds and you need to understand the business you’re in. Because that was the only thing that changed. The only thing that changed was that discovery that made them successful and the loss of that discovery that blew them apart was that one thing. Dave Young: And I think they’re still doing well, right? Stephen Semple: Oh, they’re actually doing well because the private equity company that bought them, guess what they knew? Dave Young: Entertainment. Stephen Semple: Like bought it from Callaway. What freaking business they were in. Dave Young: The two guys that invented it, right? A casino group would have been a better purchaser than Callaway. Stephen Semple: Well, yes. And if you actually take a look at- Dave Young: Callaway never should have bought it because they didn’t- Stephen Semple: Callaway should never bought it. And the company that bought it actually has a lot of entertainment businesses. So it’s going to do great. Dave Young: So the two guys that founded it, how much that Callaway money they walk away with? Stephen Semple: I was never able to figure out how much of the Callaway money that they walked away with other than they did very, very well and went on to invest in some other businesses. Dave Young: They’re doing fine. They’re doing fine. Stephen Semple: They’re doing fine. Dave Young: They’re living a good life. Stephen Semple: Rumors have it because I wasn’t able to find exact numbers, but rumor has it that… Because remember, they got two payouts. Payout number one was a private equity company bought them. I was never able to find out for how much. They still had ownership in the Callaway. Rumor has it that they walked away with a billion, something like that. Dave Young: I’d split a billion with you, Stephen. Stephen Semple: Yeah, there you go. That there’s some walking around cash. Yep. Dave Young: All right. I got an idea for us. All right. Are you in? Just say if you’re in, because this is a new business idea. Stephen Semple: Okay. There we go. Dave Young: Top bowling. You throw a bowling ball as far as you can and try to hit a target. Stephen Semple: Yeah. You know what? The targets would have to be really close. Dave Young: Yeah. There’s margaritas, there’s hot wings, burritos. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Alcohol and throwing bowling balls. I don’t know if should go together. Dave Young: I’m just saying. Live targets. Wait, that’s not a good idea. Well, next time you’re in Austin, maybe you and I should pop on over to Topgolf and have some hot wings. Stephen Semple: Done. Let’s do it. Dave Young: All right. Stephen Semple: Let’s do it. Awesome. Dave Young: Thanks for telling the story at Topgolf. I look forward to hearing what I have to say about Nebraska Furniture Mark at some point. Stephen Semple: All right. Awesome.

Strength training for golfers is one of the most overlooked ways to improve performance on the course. Many golfers still believe that lifting weights will make them stiff or hurt their swing—but the reality is the opposite. Getting stronger is one of the fastest ways to increase club head speed, gain distance, and improve overall athleticism. In this episode of Beast Over Burden, Niki Sims and Andrew Jackson talk with Barbell Logic client and PGA golf coach Jimmy Wisinski about how strength training for golfers directly translates to better performance. Jimmy shares his journey from program hopping and plateauing in the gym to breaking through strength barriers and regaining the power he had in his college years. The conversation explores how strength training impacts force production, which ultimately drives club head speed and distance. Even small increases in swing speed can add meaningful yardage, and over the course of a round, that can significantly impact scoring. Jimmy also explains how professional golfers today are lifting heavier than ever, and why strength training has become standard across the PGA and LPGA tours. Niki and Andrew dig into how Jimmy balances training with a demanding schedule as a full-time golf coach. With long days on his feet and high mental load, his program emphasizes efficiency, consistency, and recovery. Rather than doing more, he focuses on doing the right amount of work and adjusting based on fatigue, workload, and season. The episode also highlights the importance of coaching. As a coach himself, Jimmy recognized that having an outside perspective helped him break through plateaus, push beyond his comfort zone, and stay consistent. The parallels between coaching in the gym and coaching on the golf course provide valuable insight for both athletes and coaches alike. Strength training for golfers is not just about lifting weights—it is about building power, improving confidence, and creating a foundation for long-term performance. Whether you are trying to hit the ball farther, stay competitive as you get older, or simply feel better on and off the course, this episode shows how strength training can help you get there.

There is no “wrong” in golf—only consequences. The best players in the world learn how to adapt.It's a simple idea, but it changes everything.This week, we look at Matt Fitzpatrick and his cross-handed chipping grip—something that, to many, might look unconventional. But here's the truth: it's not wrong. It just produces a certain left hand position that works for Matt under pressure when chipping.And Fitzpatrick? He understands those consequences. He owns them. He adapts around them.That's what the best in the world do.In this episode, we break down: Why “unconventional” doesn't mean incorrect  How Fitzpatrick's grip influences his ball flight and control  The real difference between technical perfection and functional performance  How to understand your tendencies instead of fighting them If you've ever felt like your swing doesn't “look right,” this is your reminder: it doesn't have to.It just has to produce something you can manage.That's how you Own Your SSWING.Shop the new G'day Golfers hat

Christo Garcia was a natural golfer until modern instruction broke his swing. In this episode, Christo demystifies the over the top swing. He tells Josh how he rebuilt his game from scratch by studying the classic swing, using martial arts discipline, and learning to compress the ball without swinging harder.  To learn more about Christo's swing ethos follow him @classicgolfswing on Instagram or visit his website: classicswing.golf Please welcome our new host of Golf Smarter, Josh Karp! Fred has retired from his work life, including the podcast, and will be working on his game with more intention than ever.

In this episode of It Could Be Your Eyes, Dr. Juanita Collier and Jess Liedke dive into a surprising reason many golfers struggle with inconsistency—even when their swing, equipment, and practice routine stay the same.Ever had a great day on the course followed by a completely off day with no clear explanation? This episode breaks down why that happens—and why it may not be your swing at all.Instead, the real issue could be your visual system.

At every level of professional golf, the separation isn't just distance or power anymore—it's the ability to move the ball intentionally. Left-to-right, right-to-left, flighted, controlled. The best players in the world aren't married to one shot shape—they own both.That was especially clear in the playoff where even Scottie Scheffler showed a rare crack in the armor. In a moment where shot-shaping versatility was critical, being forced into one pattern under pressure made even the smallest margin matter. At that level, it's not about perfect swings—it's about having options when tension rises.SSWING's physical training supports exactly that adaptability. One of the key movements we use is the glute bridge. It's simple, but it builds what elite players need—pelvic stability, glute activation, and control of rotation without losing balance. That directly translates to controlling face and path under pressure.That connects to something we see every day at SSWING.Stability is the foundation of all of it.One of our new members this week came in doing what so many golfers do—adding more effort to fix inconsistency. More speed, more manipulation, more “trying.” But what unlocked things wasn't complexity—it was stability through movement and sequencing. Once the base became stable, shaping the ball both ways stopped being something they chased and became something they could access.That's the shift.Because at every level—from Korn Ferry grinders to LPGA winners to PGA Tour champions—the game rewards the same thing:Stability first.Control second.Then the ability to shape it any way the situation demands.That's where real mastery lives.Shop the new G'day Golfers hat

Golfers often try to push too hard, too soon to make up for mistakes on the course. Sam Weinman talked to Rory McIlroy and Max Homa at the Masters about how and when they go about responding when things go south on the course. Their answers about patience and when to push might be surprising. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This episode explores a few common traps golfers fall into, starting with the overreliance on club fitting as a “fix” rather than a tool that can only accommodate your tendencies. Jon and Adam make the case that real improvement comes from skill—especially your ability to identify and adjust strike patterns. They also break down the handicap system and why matches can feel unfair, but ultimately argue you're better off accepting the variability and focusing on your own performance.
