795: Elizabeth Schultz started playing golf at 13…and played in the Women’s US Open at 16! She was also a successful player in college. But today, Elizabeth is grinding it out to make the Symetra Tour and fill her potential as a professional golfer on Tour. In this conversation, she talks about her life on the road as she struggles to climb up to the LPGA Tour. I initially met Elizabeth as she was playing in the 2021 Women’s US Open qualifier at Marin Country Club.

Her caddie for the afternoon was J. J. Resnick, who was featured on Golf Smarter (episode785) as being President Gerald Ford's personal caddie.

616: There’s a guideline in the PGA Teaching Handbook that says “Putt when you can. Chip if you can’t putt. And Pitch only when you have to”. Pretty powerful statement that we don’t hear often enough. This week Ken Doherty, PGA and Director of Golf for Marin Country Club, returns to discuss ways to stay fresh during the cold off-season, the value of a playing lesson vs just working with a teacher on the range, the importance (or lack thereof) to hit with a draw vs fade, and the current business climate for private country clubs.This episode is brought to you by Flaviar, the world’s largest online club for spirits enthusiasts.

443: Ken Doherty, Head Golf Professional for Marin Country Club returns in this Members Only episode to help us understand why we're so good on the range, but can't seem to put it together on the course. Did you realize that the balls in the bucket of balls are not the same type you play? Just because you don't pay for them is reason enough to not put a couple in your pocket. What kind of impact does hitting off of a matt have on your ball striking? There are other technical issues we discuss, but the biggest single factor is your attitude. Once you understand the difference, you'll see a change in your scoring.
