On this episode of Next on the Tee, I'm joined by two of the game's top instructors, each bringing their own brand of expertise, innovation, and insight to help us all play better and enjoy the game more. First, PGA Master Professional John Hughes returns for his 6th appearance. As a Master Professional, John is in the top 1.5% of all PGA Professionals. He's also a Top 25 Instructor with Golf Tips Magazine, and the 2023 North Florida PGA Section Teacher of the Year. He shares a preview of his soon-to-be-released book, Instant Golf Improvement: The 6 Pillars to Golf Success, which offers a realistic path to better golf without overhauling your swing. John also gives us valuable tips on target acquisition, proper driver stance, handling uneven lies, improving launch angle and spin rates, sharpening our chipping technique, and eliminating costly three-putts. Then, my gumba Rob Strano stops by. Rob is one of the most creative teachers in the game, the former host of The Golf Kingdom TV show, and his new Golf Academy is now open in Destin, Florida. Rob shares his candid thoughts on how to truly fix the FedEx Cup format, if the PGA Tour needs a playoff system at all, and what he's most looking forward to about the Ryder Cup. Rob gives us a look at the innovative tools and training available at his new academy. It's an episode packed with playing lessons, fresh ideas, and insights from two of the best minds in golf instruction.

In this high-energy season 18 premiere, host Colin Weston sits down with David Buck, the charismatic and hilarious founder of Big Swing Kings. David is on a mission to inject more joy and simplicity into the game of golf, moving away from over-complicated instruction and back to the fundamental truths of what makes a ball go straight. A former professional golfer who “won't see his name on any trophies,” David discovered his unique teaching style by accident when a video of him roasting (then instructing) a golfer's swing went viral. He breaks down why the quest for “consistency” is often misguided, why impact is the only position that truly matters, and how he's even learning to play left-handed to better understand the learning process for his students. Tune in for a conversation filled with laughs, practical wisdom, and a refreshingly simple approach to solving golf's most frustrating problems. Watch the video version with a special swing roast of host Colin Weston on: The ModGolf YouTube Channel (https://youtu.be/Z6w2i10yrQI) Featured Links & Resources: Big Swing Kings Website: [www.bigswingkings.com] Follow David on Instagram: [@bigswingkings] During this episode you will discover these inspiring takeaways: 1. Stop Chasing "Consistency" and Start Understanding Impact The golf world is obsessed with backswing positions, elbow angles, and perfect posture. David argues that this is backwards. The most important moment is the micro-second of impact. If you don't know what a good impact position looks and feels like, you can't possibly build a consistent swing around it. David's entire philosophy starts with mastering a one-foot back, one-foot through motion to ingrain this feeling before ever adding speed. 2. The Fastest Path to Improvement is Often the Simplest Golf is a simple game, but it is not an easy one. David advocates for stripping away complexity, both in swing thought and in equipment. He is a staunch advocate for single-length irons (from lob wedge to at least the 8-iron) because they remove variables like changing ball positions and spine angles, allowing you to focus purely on the strike. This simplicity creates inherent accuracy and makes the game easier to learn. 3. You Have to Choose Fun to Play Your Best Golf Frustration, anger, and the dreaded shanks can make golf feel like a chore. David's unique approach uses humor, light-hearted roasting, and camaraderie to break down the barriers of fear and frustration. By creating a community where it's okay to laugh at yourself, he helps golfers relax, which is the first step toward playing better and truly enjoying their time on the course. https://media24.fireside.fm/file/fireside-uploads-2024/images/1/1ea879c1-a4a2-4e10-bea4-e5d8368a3c7a/TZkSPd7r.jpg Episode Chapters: 00:00 - Welcome to Season 18! 01:19 - Who is David Buck and What is Big Swing Kings? 02:16 - David's “Failed Pro” Background and Philosophy 04:21 - The Overwhelmed Golfer's Dilemma 04:38 - The Big Swing Kings Process: Start at Impact 06:31 - The Viral AHA Moment That Started It All 09:54 - The Story Behind the "Big Swing Kings" Name 11:30 - Is This Only for "Kings"?

In our conversation, we explore the impact of modern equipment, particularly the shift from persimmon woods to contemporary materials, and how this has altered the dynamics of the game. Furthermore, we delve into the implications of longer golf courses necessitated by advancements in technology, which consequently increase costs and exclusivity. We also reflect on the resurgence of interest in golf post-COVID and the necessity for the sport to remain accessible to all enthusiasts. Ultimately, our dialogue emphasizes the importance of preserving the essence of the game while adapting to contemporary challenges.Links referenced in this episode:OrangeWhipTrainer.comNorthValleyChallenge.comCompanies mentioned in this episode: Painted Hills Natural Beef Orange Whip Trainer Powerbuilt Golf Linksoul This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: OP3 - https://op3.dev/privacy

In this episode of Next on the Tee, I'm joined by two outstanding guests who share more than just a first name, Tom, both bring incredible insight and passion to the game. First up is our resident Director of Instruction, Tom Patri, who's been on the road working with his young players across Florida and Michigan. Tom and I dive into the highs and lows of what's happening on the PGA Tour. We celebrate Scottie Scheffler's win at The Open and debate whether his methodical dominance is “boring” or simply brilliant. While Tom sees predictability, I see a player achieving greatness through precision, consistency, and class. We also discuss some disappointing trends—like Wyndham Clark's tantrum at Oakmont and the rise of club-throwing and tee marker destruction. Tom and I both believe the Tour needs to start publicly addressing these actions with transparent fines and suspensions to help clean up the game. Then I welcome back one of the most respected PGA Professionals in the country, Tom Wildenhaus. Wildy is the Director of Golf at Olde Florida Golf Club and a former National PGA Professional of the Year. He's also a terrific writer with a must-follow Substack, where he recently tackled topics like the hidden costs of employee turnover, how to instill club culture in new hires, and the importance of building real relationships with members. We also talk about the fading presence of empathy in society and what that's doing to our communities. On the teaching side, Tom shares valuable tips on structuring a more purposeful practice session. It's a thoughtful and wide-ranging conversation you don't want to miss. Come back for Part 2 when Bill Mallon shares some of his favorite player stories including being there when Craig Stadler got the nickname, The Walrus.

In Part 1 of this week's show, I'm joined by two incredible guests who bring a mix of laughs, life lessons, and game-changing golf knowledge.

Joe is not only a short game guru—he's also a certified hypnotherapist, and in this episode, we dive into what hypnotherapy is, how it works, and how it can help you improve your game and your recovery. (Spoiler alert: I even went through a session myself to help with my ankle surgery recovery!) Joe also shares some techniques and strategies for sharpening your game with your scoring clubs, making this a segment one you'll want to bookmark and come back to. Then, fan favorite and 1989 Open Champion Mark Calcavecchia returns for another round of great stories and off-the-cuff laughs. We hear about the infamous Christmas card from him and Brenda featuring a streaker at The Open, his encounter with a water cooler that nearly took out his mom, and how JC Snead taught him—and by extension, me—what the “Through Line” is and why you don't walk in it. We also talk about his practice rounds with Tiger at the 2000 Open, wins at the 1993 and 1995 Argentine Open, and why he believes All in the Family and Green Acres deserve more love. This one's packed with entertainment and insights from tee to green and beyond. Don't miss it!

Morne explains how their lens technology helps players read greens better and why Jondo's precision-engineered design offers serious golfers a competitive edge.

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

Scotsman Iain Forrester has been a golf professional since 1983, moving to The Netherlands to become the Head Professional at Hoenshuis Golf & Country Club in Limburg. Iain believes that “……a PGA Professional needs to have a diverse skillset – a jack of all trades and a master of one or two. That's what I've tried to do with my career, to be as flexible as possible, learn as many skills as possible and then have a niche that separates you from others.” Iain's particular niche of choice focusses on maintaining and preserving the history of golf, in particular the way it was played in the past with wooden hickory clubs. Iain repairs and restores hickory equipment for fellow collectors while also suppling sets for hickory events throughout Europe. As if that's not enough he has also written extensively about hickory golf and golf history in general. Safe to say he's a great man to have on the pod to talk about on all things relating to hickory and Dutch golf. Iain's website can be found here (https://hickoryclubs.eu/) The Golfika article on the history of British Handicapping mentioned in the show can be found here (https://en.golfika.com/_files/ugd/72472f_cdab7f2449764a07881a5d9711ca6a67.pdf) - pages 6 - 11.

By capturing high-resolution video, PlayIQ can precisely analyze critical aspects of the swing.  Elements such as spine angle, knee bend, hip rotation, and club position. The computer vision technology identifies these elements and compares them against ideal swing mechanics, offering targeted feedback on specific strengths and areas for improvement. Ben joins #OntheMark to introduce and illustrate how the system works, and how it can help you figure out the exact issues within your technique that are letting you down. He describes: What an AI golf lesson involves How the system collects data and information How the system tailors the insights and tips to your specific problems, and How PlayIQ give you a complete Swing Analysis, how it compares your golfswing to other fundamentally sound swings, how it provides recommendations for improvement and how it offers Drills and Exercises to accelerate understanding, feel and improvement. His goal with the development of PlayIQ was to make golf instruction more accessible, affordable and helpful and this podcast is sure to help you on your way to getting a golf lesson tailored to your specific needs.  You can also watch the conversation between Mark Immelman and Ben Fowler on YouTube.  Search and subscribe to Mark Immelman.
