   The information President Trump released publicly is alarming and on a scale of 1-10 is probably an 8 or 9 news story.  But his speech missed the mark by a wide margin.  It may not have mattered if they delivered this in a better way but it sure didn't come off the way many thought it would.    The Blue Angels did the wildest flyover anyone can remember this week in Florida and is under review.  But the Pentagon says the shows will go on for America 250.    The man that operates the teleprompter for President Trump is in trouble for betting on Kalshi about certain phrases that would or wouldnt be in certain speeches.    In England, the British Open is underway and these guys are going low in perfect conditions.  One American player got the last laugh on a critic after his round.  Mike Tyson doesn't know Shohei Ohtani is a man.    Patrick Mahomes makes a bold statement that whether he plays or not in Game 1 has been taken out of his hands.    KCMO Councilman Nathan Willett is running for Congress in North Missouri and we'll chat with him about what he stands for an against.

Andy and Jeff talk about how dry the course is at Royal Birkdale and how it's affecting play at the British Open.

There's a reason pressure feels different for 220 million Brazilians hoping their team advances in the World Cup than it does for 5.5 million Norwegians who are just thrilled to be on the pitch. Pressure isn't the same for everyone — and this week on the PGA Tour, we watched that exact dynamic play out on a golf course.Chris Gotterup teed off six groups back at the John Deere Classic with basically nothing to lose. He went bogey-free for a 62 and walked away with the trophy. Meanwhile, the two guys who'd carried the lead all week — Lucas Glover and Lee Hodges — played it safe, made pars, and watched the win slip away. Same golf course. Same conditions. Completely different pressure, completely different swings.Then it's this week's Improvement Pivot Point — why protecting a lead physically changes your motion before your brain even registers you're nervous, and what that means for your own game the next time you're standing over a putt that matters.

To learn more about Jim Waldron's teaching and golf schools, visit: https://balancepointgolf.com/ In this episode, we are joined by golf coach Jim Waldron for a wide-ranging conversation about the mind-body connection in golf. Jim explains how awareness, focused attention, and staying “external” can help golfers quiet the inner voice, manage pressure, and access their skills more freely on the course. The discussion also covers the yips, pre-shot routines, balance, Ben Hogan's mental approach, and why many golfers sabotage themselves by trying too hard to control the outcome. They also explore why consistency is such a misleading goal in golf, and how golfers can find more enjoyment by building a “secondary scorecard” beyond just handicap and score.   Thank you to our show sponsors Lagoon Sleep, For Wellness, Momentous, and Square: Lagoon Sleep helps you find the right pillow for your sleep position and body type with a quick two-minute quiz, giving you a more personalized setup for better rest and recovery.

The past week has featured a number of rather important sports stories.  Some are quite newsworthy and will have lasting impact.  Others seem to be overblown stories being pushed by the media just to meet deadline requirements. How do you view these stories?  News or Snooze? Oklahoma Sooners downed North Carolina to claim the men’s College World Series title A: Newsworthy The SEC just won its seventh consecutive men’s College World Series baseball title after unseeded Oklahoma blasted the favored and #5 seed North Carolina Tar Heels 13-2 on Monday night in Omaha. OU’s “Slugging Sooners” K-O’d every opponent they faced during the postseason in their unprecedented march to college baseball’s national title. Oklahoma barely made it into the NCAA 64-team tournament field.  OU finished in 11th place in the SEC regular season with a lowly 14-16 conference record. The Sooners took advantage of their good fortune to make the college baseball playoffs and took down #2 seed Georgia Tech in Atlanta in the opening round. They next traveled to #15 Kansas in the Super Regionals and swept the Jayhawks right out of the tournament. In Omaha, OU took down #7 Alabama and #3 Georgia to earn a spot in the best-of-three title series against #5 North Carolina. Yes, Oklahoma definitely caught fire at the right time of the season.  It was their first baseball title since 1994. Well done, Sooners! Last week, troubled college QB Brendan Sorsby entered the NFL Supplemental Draft.  This week, the NFL canceled their own Supplemental Draft. A: Snooze worthy I just can’t muster up a lot of tears for either Brendan Sorsby or Texas Tech right now.  If anyone was wearing the black hat this week, it was definitely the NFL. Brendan Sorsby (as we’ll explain later) made a timely application to the NFL before the league’s Monday, June 22 deadline to enter the Supplemental Draft. On Tuesday, the pro football league completely hosed this young man by abruptly canceling its annual Supplemental Draft.  The event is normally conducted in August for a handful of eligible football players who did not participate in April’s seven-round selection process. As you may recall, Brendan Sorsby was the young man who admitted to betting on college football games (including those of his own team) along with many other sports. This spring, he acknowledged having a gambling addiction and went away for counseling and treatment.  Upon completion of the program, the NCAA ruled that Sorsby was still ineligible to play football this fall at Texas Tech as an incoming transfer student.  Sorsby then sued the NCAA in a final attempt to regain his eligibility. With unprecedented speed, a court in northwest Texas ruled that Brendan Sorsby could, indeed, play football this fall for the Red Raiders.  His trial vs. the NCAA was generously moved to begin during February, 2027 (long after this year’s football season ends). The Big 12 Conference objected, too.  They wanted Sorsby banned this season for breaking the rules on gambling.  The conference met to determine an appopriate punishment for Texas Tech if Sorsby hit the field this fall for the Red Raiders. Sorsby (as we predicted) did the right thing last week.  He said adios to Texas Tech and declared his intention to participate in the NFL’s Supplemental Draft.  The NFL then pulled the rug on this event and left Sorsby homeless (football-wise) for this fall. Don’t feel sad for Brendan Sorsby, though.  Texas Tech (whose athletics program is supported by several wealthy energy leaders) agreed to pay the young man the estimated $5 million his 2026 NIL deal is worth anyway. Invest it well, young man! Speaking of drafts, the NBA held its annual player draft this week A: Snooze worthy Quick!  Tell me the first round NBA selection made by your favorite NBA team on Tuesday night. Even many of the players being selected during the first and second rounds of the NBA Draft didn’t even know where they would be playing. That’s because an incredible 27 of the 60 players taken in Rounds 1 and 2 of the NBA Draft were immediately traded by the team which had just selected them. What’s going on here? The first 12 selections in Round 1 will be playing (for now) for the teams which drafted them.  Ten of the next 18 players selected were shipped to another team moments after receiving a ceremonial team cap and shaking NBA Commissioner Adam Silver’s hand on-stage. Round 2 was an even bigger mess.  A total of 17 of the 30 players (57%) picked in the second round were immediately traded to another team. Outside of the first 12 players selected in Round 1, the majority of basketball players picked in this week’s NBA Draft apparently were not highly coveted. Cheap advice – Keep your bags packed! The NCAA recommends college athletes be allowed to play for five seasons over five years?!! A: Newsworthy College athletes have long been given four years of athletic eligibility to participate in varsity athletics.  A flawed concept called taking a “red shirt” was used to allow underutilized players (generally freshmen) to participate in team practices for an extra year prior to playing in games. This concept kept getting pushed to the limits.  Players injured before the midway point in a season started requesting the NCAA to grant them an extra year of eligibility. This week, the NCAA’s Division 1 Cabinet issued a proposed rule change to make this issue much simpler (we hope).  The athlete will be allowed five years to participate in college athletics from the earlier of the date of full-time enrollment or the academic year following his/her 19th birthday. This “Five in Five” concept is expected to begin this fall. Yes, it means that a healthy athlete could (potentially) play five consecutive years of major college athletics. The NCAA has finally acted on a relevant issue for college athletics.  Unsurprisingly, there has already been some legal pushback filed by players. Stay tuned to see if this change to college athletics is actually implemented this fall. The PGA Tour announced some radical changes to its structure beginning in 2028 A: Newsworthy LIV Golf has been criticized by many, but the upstart league has forced the stodgy PGA Tour to make some radical changes. The PGA Tour announced on Tuesday that there will be two “tracks” for top pro golfers beginning in the year 2028. A new “Championship” division will feature up to 24 tournament events from February through August. This grouping will feature the top 100 ranked golfers playing 72 holes with a 36-hole cut (as before).  The prize money in these events will total at least $20 million. There will also be a new “Challenger” level that will play at least 20 events from February through August. These will have larger fields (144 golfers) and 36-hole cuts, but the tournament prize money will be about $4 million per event. Players who win two tournaments in one season at the “Challenger” level will immediately be promoted up to the Championship division. Golfers in the Championship upper division who finish their season ranked #91-100 will be demoted to the Challenger level for the following year. More details are expected to be announced in the coming months. This announcement quietly confirms that the PGA Tour continues to struggle attracting its top golfers to appear in some of its mid-level tournaments.  Those events usually offer a lower payout than average, too. In case you were wondering, LIV Golf (which might fold at any time) is paying its golfers a total tournament purse of $30 million in 2026.  However, LIV Golf is only playing 14 tournaments worldwide this year. Caitlin Clark’s latest WNBA assailant gets suspended for one game A: Snooze worthy Many fans of the Women’s NBA (WNBA) want to watch the talented scoring outside shooting machine named Caitlin Clark produce plenty of points like the NBA’s Steph Curry. The WNBA’s television ratings and attendance rise whenever third-year shooting guard Caitlin Clark’s Indiana Fever is featured on national TV or playing in an opponent’s arena. Unfortunately, many players in the WNBA just don’t like Clark.  Some have made her life exceedingly difficult by playing excessively physical defense against the 6′ shooting guard. The number of dirty plays involving Caitlin Clark on the receiving end are becoming far too commonplace in the WNBA.  Worse yet, the three referees on the court are letting a lot of the rough play go without even blowing their whistles. Can you imagine if talented NBA offensive stars such as Pistol Pete Maravich or Larry Bird were being routinely mugged and injured by opposing players?  The men’s pro basketball league understood the value which those stars brought to their league. On the other hand, the WNBA doesn’t seem to have a clue. Another scary moment involving Caitlin Clark (fifth in the WNBA in scoring at 21 points/game) occurred Wednesday night as the Indiana Fever played the Phoenix Mercury. Clark was tripped while handling the basketball. As she laid on the floor, Phoenix forward Alyssa Thomas (who is listed at 6’2” and weighs 202 pounds according to the WNBA website) “recklessly made contact with her fist to the throat area of Caitlin Clark.” That quote was issued by the league AFTER the game when this play was reviewed. For her part, Alyssa Thomas was assessed a Level 2 Flagrant foul and then received a one game suspension. Question:  How could three highly trained WNBA referees miss all of that mayhem on the floor?  What were they looking at?  Or, perhaps, were they instructed before the game to overlook it? None of the officials blew a whistle on the play despite the rather obvious unnecessary roughness imparted by Caitlin Clark’s opponents. Whether the WNBA players like Caitlin Clark or not, they better hope that she doesn’t vanish to play go basketball in Europe next season. If that she should leave, fan interest in the WNBA may quickly revert back to the mediocre levels it had before Clark entered the league just three years ago.  *Ol’ SwampSwami and his long-suffering sports wife will be out next week babysitting a couple of our energetic grandsons in N.

After news broke that Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund would cease backing LIV Golf beyond this season, putting its future in doubt, Jon Rahm was asked in May about the status of his contract with the tour. “I don't see many ways out,” the 31-year-old Spaniard answered pragmatically. Rahm's next steps appear dependent on whether LIV can secure external funding to continue operating beyond this year—if its 2026 schedule can even be completed—but in the meantime, his golden handcuffs haven't been so bad. Rahm's contract, which reportedly guaranteed him at least $300 million when the former world No. 1 left the PGA Tour in December 2023 to sign with LIV, has made him the world's highest-paid golfer for the third consecutive year. Forbes estimates Rahm hauled in $111 million over the last 12 months before taxes and agent fees, sending his total pay for the past three years north of $400 million. His compensation since last June includes an estimated $101 million in prize money and on-course bonuses as well as $10 million in off-course earnings from brand partnerships, appearance fees and licensing income. In addition to his contractual guarantee with LIV, which Forbes estimates to be worth $50 million for the past year, Rahm pulled in an $18 million bonus in 2025 as LIV's individual champion for the second year in a row, and he has won two tournaments so far this season, helping push his total up 9% from the estimated $102 million he pocketed in the 12 months that ended in June 2025.

Hour 4 of Scotty G. & The Coach with Scott Garrard and Tim LaComb. Major Pain in the Butt Sports Roulette: Bo Nix is going to be fine. Everything is fine High School Football

Golfers agree on very few things. Equipment preferences vary wildly. Opinions on course conditions can change from one group to the next. Even something as simple as golf fashion can create spirited debate. Pace of play, though? Surely we can find some common ground there. Nearly every golfer agrees that slow play is a problem, but we have seen the disagreement begin when we ask how much it should impact the experience. That question serves as the foundation for Episode 2 of Splitting Fairways, the THP podcast where Ryan “Hawk” and Jeremy “Lord Tox” explore the conversations golfers are already having every day. Rather than trying to determine who is right and who is wrong, the show examines both sides of golf’s most divisive topics and the perspectives that shape them. This week, the discussion shifts from golf fashion to one of the most common complaints in the game. Are golfers too obsessed with pace of play? The topic originated from a discussion on the THP Forum that challenged a common assumption. The original post wasn’t defending slow play. Instead, it questioned whether golfers sometimes allow pace of play to affect their enjoyment of the game more than it should. Predictably, the responses were divided. One side argued that pace matters because golf is a shared experience. Slow groups impact everyone behind them, disrupt rhythm, and demonstrate a lack of awareness for other players on the course. The opposing view suggested that golfers have become conditioned to treat every delay as a crisis. Waiting occasionally is not the same thing as slow play, and in an era of increased participation and crowded tee sheets, some delays are simply part of the experience. As the episode unfolds, the conversation moves well beyond pace of play itself. Topics such as golf’s continued growth, public versus private course expectations, respect for fellow golfers, and modern expectations of convenience all become part of the discussion. Along the way, several memorable comments from THP Forum members help illustrate just how passionate golfers can become when discussing pace. Whether you believe slow play is one of the game’s biggest issues or think golfers sometimes allow it to overshadow an otherwise enjoyable round, Episode 2 explores both perspectives. After listening, we want to hear from you. Is slow play ruining golf, or are golfers letting it ruin golf? Let us know where you stand in the comments below.

This past weekend, champions were made across every sport — and the ones who won all had one thing in common: they looked their weaknesses dead in the eye and got to work.On the PGA Tour at the RBC Canadian Open, Bud Cauley, the 36 year old, finally got his first win — his 239th start — and it didn't come off the tee. It came from a chip-in on 12 and a wedge to the heart of 18. His short game saved him when it mattered most. On the LPGA, Jin Hee Im and Somi Lee won the Dow Championship with a bogey-free 62, just 26 putts, and a clutch 8-footer in a playoff — and Lexi Thompson's run came down to a 5-foot putt that didn't fall. Five feet. The whole tournament. On the Korn Ferry Tour, Zack Fischer converted a four-shot final round lead to claim his first win in his 171st career start at the inaugural OccuNet Classic in Amarillo.Off the course — the New York Knicks are NBA Champions for the first time since 1973. Jalen Brunson dropped 45 points in the clinching Game 5 against the Spurs, capping a run where the Knicks came back from double-digit deficits in all four of their wins — including the greatest comeback in NBA Finals history, erasing a 29-point deficit in Game 4. They didn't win because they were the most talented team. They won because they were honest about their gaps, made adjustments, and trusted each other when it mattered most. That's the thread.This week Scott gets into the short game conversation that most golfers keep avoiding — chipping, pitching, and the truth about what happens after you miss a green. Because here's the thing: if your short game is good enough, you take the pressure off everything else. You can miss greens. You can have an off day with the irons. But if you can get up and down — you stay in the round. Most golfers know their short game needs work and do nothing about it. That stops today.Ask yourself honestly: is your short game good enough? Because the answer is either your biggest problem or your biggest opportunity.Own Your SSWING.Shop the new G'day Golfers hat

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!

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.

A special holiday weekend encore of our March 25th episode, Jason Deegan, Managing Editor of GolfPass joins us to talk golf trends they saw in 2025, their Golfers' Choice Lists, and what he's looking forward to most in 2026.

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

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

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.
