Don't call it an "emergency pod": Andy and Garrett throw out their plans for the week and sit down to discuss the late-breaking news that the USGA and R&A will soon announce a future universal rollback of the golf ball . Andy and Garrett talk about the events that have led to this juncture and address a number of common concerns, misapprehensions, and points of debate around the issue.

Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme break down yet another eventful week in golf's "offseason," with Smylie's live from the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas. SK & CH cover Tiger Woods' return to competitive golf after an injury at the 2023 Masters and predict his 2024 playing schedule, discuss the growing rumors that world #3 Jon Rahm will depart the PGA Tour for LIV, and react to the news that the USGA and R&A plan to roll the golf ball back for not only professionals, but all amateur players as well.

Whew, what a weekend from the golf content gods! Andy and Brendan come primed and ready for this Monday episode, beginning with the report in Golf Digest that the governing bodies are now considering a universal rollback of the golf ball as opposed to just a local rule for elite pros. They discuss the many player reactions to this news, from the hysterical quotes from some of the pros down at the Hero to Rory's return to tweeting and Tiger's reiterated takes. They discuss what the rollback might actually mean and where the USGA might have failed to control the release of this update over the weekend. Then they get to some of Tiger's play in the Bahamas as well as the Collin Morikawa two-shot penalty that Matt Fitzpatrick called out to an official, who ticked off Morikawa by showing up “five minutes late” to their meeting. The continued rumors of Jon Rahm going to LIV are also covered, with the potential for that becoming a reality as soon as Monday? Will he be a Cleek? The back half discusses an anonymous memo to PGA Tour membership and some truly insane Chris Stroud comments about the players not having a voice or being taken care of on Tour.

We get into those questions and much more with my guests: Hall of Fame Instructor Jim McLean, former Tour Player and all-time great Analyst Frank Nobilo, the Starter at 23 US Opens Ron Read, and PGA Tour Advance Rules Official Stephen Cox. Jim McLean has been inducted into 4 Hall of Fames. His list of awards and accolades as an Instructor are too numerous to list. I get Jim's thoughts on how we can build confidence in ourselves and our game's, how to raise our play to tournament level, and the one thing we can do today to lower our scores this weekend. Frank Nobilo won 14 times around the world, he finished in the Top 10 of all 4 majors, and is now an all-time great Analyst. We discuss why PGA Tour players are overpaid, what could happen if the PIF/PGA Tour partnership doesn't go through plus, we go back to his T4 finish in the 1994 US Open at Oakmont, and what it was like being on the course at Augusta National as Greg Norman was collapsing in 1996. Ron Reed worked for the USGA for over two decades and was the Starter at the US Open from 1986 to 2010. We hear his memories of announcing Arnold Palmer in Arnie's final US Open at Oakmont in 1994, who Ron thought was the most nervous player he ever saw standing on the first tee (his answer will surprise you), being there for Payne Stewart's triumph in 1999 and Phil's heartbreak in 2006. You'll also hear the heartwarming story of presenting Tom Watson's caddie Bruce Edwards with the flag from the 17th green from the 1982 US Open. We also get the story of the beaver who halted the 1990 US Amateur Public Links tournament. Follow Ron on Twitter @golfdinosaurrr and get his book, Starting the US Open, Shinnecock to Pebble Beach online at www.ronread.com or on Amazon. Stephen Cox has been a PGA Tour Rules Official since 1997. We hear about some of the unpopular rulings he's had to give out over the years and the players who didn't agree with him. We learn about the job the Rules Officials do which goes way beyond riding around in a golf cart handing out penalties. They are responsible for course setup and playing conditions and sometimes they are working on those things a year in advance of the tournament. We also discuss the rule he thinks the USGA & R&A need to take another look at. You can follow Stephen and his peers plus send them your rules questions on Twitter @pgatourrules.

Ever wondered why more golfers are trading their three wood for a five wood? Tune in to our lively discussion where we dissect the differences between the two, and explain why the five wood, with its less demanding club head speed and ball speed requirements, is becoming the new favorite. This switch could be especially beneficial for older golfers, who may find the loft and ease of a five wood more forgiving than a three wood. And if you have an old Callaway's heaven wood gathering dust in your garage, it might be time to give it another shot.Thinking about equipment changes to compensate for a lack of speed? Hold your horses... or should we say, hold your clubs! Before you go splashing cash on new gear, it's essential to understand your physical capability and limitations. We'll share some telling anecdotes about golf buddies, and nasty golf swings and revisit the advantages of switching from a three wood to a five wood. But we're not just about the laughter; we're also about the controversy. The USGA's consideration of golf ball distance limits has sparked a heated debate. Is it fair to take away the fun from the sport? We'll let you decide.Is a lack of swing speed impacting your golf game? We've got you covered. From exercises and training tools to timing your swing and understanding the importance of "body brakes", we'll share practical insights to help you increase your swing speed. And if you're looking to improve your golf distance, we'll explore the importance of getting fitted for clubs, working with a golf teacher, and finding the perfect ball for your game. Join us for an episode that promises to deliver tips, stories, controversy, and, most importantly, a fresh perspective on golf.

Hank Haney explains how you can get on the road to better golf! He shares why you don't want to just fade or draw the golf ball but you want balance, just like every other sport.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dawn returns to "The Coach Mo Golf Show" to take a deep dive into the Judgment Index and how players can utilize the assessment combined with her coaching to better understand and optimize the human within them. The better you understand the "why" of what you do and who you are, as well as those around you, you can create strategies to improve your preparation, your communication, and your decisions to help you improve both on and off the course.Dawn Woodard, Furman Women's Golf Alum, and expert Performance Consultant of, “Judgment Matters”  utilizes the Judgment Index assessment to help some of the top ACC, SEC, small powerhouse colleges as well as several professional athletes, including the former #1 Junior in the world, Mina Harigae, better understand themselves, their tendencies, and how their thinking ultimately affects their behavior and performance on and off the golf course.  Dawn works with athletes, parents, business professionals to maximize a player's decision-making and performance. Athletes and professionals are able to learn the WHY behind why they make the decision they do, gain perspective on how the athlete views themselves, and the what, who, why influences their decision making, and how they see the world. Once Dawn is able to identify how this help/hinders a player's performance, she can then create an affective and highly personalized performance strategy for the player, coach, and entire family to improve their performance.Dawn is a phenomenal athlete herself, a Furman Women's Golf Alum, 8x SC Women's Am Champion, & 3x Carolinas Player of the Year.  Dawn has competed in 39 USGA events, including 18 consecutive USGA Mid Ams, 3x USGA Mid-Am Medalist, 3x USGA Mid-Am Quarterfinalist.dawnwoodard@me.comwww.judgmentmatters.org@dawnwoodard10 Contact Coach Mo@coachmogolfprowww.coachmogolfpro.commgesualdi@stjohnsgolf.comThe Golf Academy at St. Johns Located at St. Johns Golf & CC in St. Augustine/St. Johns, FL@thegolfacademy_st.johnswww.stjohnsgolf.com

  It's about that time of year where I start to get messages like… “I'm coming to Phoenix/Scottsdale, where would you recommend I golf?” The first 12 minutes of this episode is exactly what I would say to you. If you are planning a trip to AZ, this show's intro is for you!   Adam and I are sitting down with Erin Groeneveld, the USGA's Director of Regional Affairs for the Northeast Sector.   Listen in as we get Erin's take on the recent U.S. Senior Women's Amateur that took place in Arizona. As a liaison to the men and women in charge of making the tournament a success, Erin sheds light on the integral roles of volunteers, rules officials, and club committees. She talks in particular about the level of commitment, as well as the logistics involved in ensuring a smooth championship run.   Erin also unpacks the interesting new rules, including a new rule about using yardage books.   We also talk about the intricacies of marking penalty areas and the insightful data collected by the USGA to compare course setups year to year, and how this data is used to improve upon existing course designs for the benefit of player experience.   Finally, we unpack the ins-and-outs of hosting golf championships, the stringent process of venue selection, and what the USGA looks for in potential championship hosts. Erin discusses typical membership and budget considerations when it comes to orchestrating a successful tournament.   About the USGA: The United States Golf Association is the United States national association of golf courses, clubs and facilities and the governing body of golf for the U.S. and Mexico. Together with the R&A, the USGA produces and interprets the rules of golf.

Some of them include: “In every step of my training [for running ultra-marathons] I kept failing massively, but I kept learning from those failures” (10:30). “When you're doing hard things, looking for help [and] asking for help is actually strength, it's not weakness” (12:05). “Our brain works against us often times as leaders” (17:10). “Sometimes pain, reaching those rock bottoms, becomes the foundation upon which you can build” (25:30). “Those painful moments teach us a lot, but they also make us desperate to try new things, to experiment with new things” (25:40). “You don't have really strong relationships with people, there's not high levels of trust, if you don't actually treat each other well, work hard, hold each other to a high standard” (30:50). “[Good culture is] the connected group that works hard” (31:25). “People want to show up to a place where they feel seen, heard, and loved” (39:15). “[Trauma research shows that potentially] more healing than therapy itself is just being part of a connected group” (47:10). “Can you continue to invest in your people knowing that in the long term, but maybe not the short term, the results are going to have a better chance of being what you want them to be?” (47:30). “Character is really hard to assess, probably even harder to assess than talent” (52:15). “I think the real quality of a coach or leader is their ability to reach the unreachables” (53:45). “Without awareness, we can't take ownership. We can't make change” (58:00). “I'm so okay with failure” (1:01:10). “[My ability to let go of fear] came from experiencing it enough and knowing that those were the greatest moments for growth in my life” (1:02:50). “I'm looking for where's the next way to stretch myself, where's the next way to enter into some of that discomfort?” (1:09:20).   Additionally, you can connect directly with J.P. via email (jpnerbun@tocculture.com) and on Twitter.

Work on it now.”Tori and I dive into my three biggest takeaways on caddying for USGA events: being prepared mentally for the pace of play, understanding group dynamics, and setting up your course conditions.You can listen to more of Tori's podcasts by going here on Apple Connect with Kathy at Kathy@KathyHartWood.com

We are back! And I'm spilling all the “T” on where the 2024 Creek Cup is and where our 2024 October Tournament will be hosted!! I sit down with Kathy Hart Wood, a New Jersey-based golf instructor and confidence coach who helps players overcome the mental obstacles that interfere with performance. We get into how our brains can be either our biggest asset or biggest barrier in golf, discussing the importance of effective instruction and how it can be tailored to resonate with different learners. “The fastest way to get better is to manage your mind first,” says Kathy. “Don't wait to become a certain handicap before you decide to work on your brain and how you think out on the course. Work on it now.” Kathy and I dive into her three biggest takeaways on caddying for USGA events: being prepared mentally for the pace of play, understanding group dynamics, and setting up your course conditions. Maintaining efficiency on the course is largely a matter of being mindful of time taken between shots and getting familiar with the personalities and play styles of slower players in the group. For USGA tournaments specifically, Kathy brings up the “one butt rule” which states that in a player and caddy team, only one person can be seated in the cart at any given time. This means if the player is sitting down, the caddy cannot. Violating this rule can potentially lead to penalties. On the other hand, it can contribute to cooperation, particularly in deciding who gets the single cart in a group. About the Guest: Kathy Hart Wood is ranked as one of LPGA Teaching and Club Professional's Top 50 LPGA Teachers. She is the creator of The Groove, a golf instruction membership site that offers a resource for golfers learning and improving in the game. Kathy is also a Confidence Coach who helps players overcome the mental obstacles that interfere with performance. She offers coaching in group workshops and individual formats.   T-Time After-Show with Kim Eaton  We discuss… How to deal with someone in your group who is playing on the slower side, in order to maintain pace of play. How strict the USGA tends to be regarding pace of play. Our thoughts on arguments over the single cart at USGA events. What players discussed at the clubhouse during stroke play and match play following Kim's round. How Kim's golf game changed following her recent injuries. Greenside bunker shots. How to qualify for the USGA U.S. Senior Women's Amateur Golf Championship.

This Wednesday episode begins with the somber news of an Aaron Rodgers injury and a hypothetical on 24-hours of disaster at MetLife stadium. Then Brendan and Andy move to three things from social media in the last couple days 1) Tiger out there on a range, swinging some clubs (lightly) in public, 2) the off-the-bus intimidating burliness of the team picture for Europe during its scouting day in Rome, and 3) the PGA Tour's “tough spot” regarding even the acknowledgment of one of the country's great tragedies. The schedule for the week is back, with some thoughts on the Fortinet field and ample discussion on the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth, a place Billy Horschel said he'd prefer to play for “25” events a year. Billy had a lot to say, including pleas for more Americans to play it and also that the trees make it feel like there are even more fans watching. News hits on Gil Hanse renovating Spanish Bay, USGA championships coming to Prairie Dunes, and more.
