GS#405 October 8, 2013 Despite strict USGA guidelines, not all golf clubs perform the same. Golf Professionals play with sticks that are meticulously tailored to their swing. Amateur golfers make purchases based on what the Pros play. No matter their skill level, few golfers take advantage of being fitted for clubs that compliment their swing style. Host Fred Greene is in the market for a new Driver, fairway driver, and hybrids and was amazed to learn how different each club performs for his swing. During the 90 minute session, join Fred to learn why club head speed, launch angle, spin rate, dispersion are important, and that some older models suit him better than “the newest and the greatest”. **Note: The beep is when Nick mentioned a price that may not be available everywhere.If you'd prefer to watch this, it's available on our GolfSmarterTV channel at https://youtu.be/_TynkSmMrB0?si=fF4gsjf5y_7SRGEcPlease check out this article about Fred's golf and podcast journey called "A Lifetime On The Air" that was published in the NCGA Magazine (Northern California Golf Association) recently!   Get more when your visit the refreshed golfsmarter.com!Introduce an Upcoming Episode: Receive free gifts for recording a show opening by clicking on "Record Your Show Open Here!" tab on the right side of golfsmarter.com. Watch Daily Video Highlights from Our Interviews: Follow @golfsmarter on Instagram, X, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube daily to see our highlights and helpful insights from our interviews on the podcast. Post a Review: you'll receive three free gifts when you post an honest review about Golf Smarter the podcast.Fill Out a Listener Survey: It only takes a few minutes to fill out our survey, which helps us to better serve your interests in the podcast.

THE PHILLY PHENOMS Ten-year-old Lee Lomax is trying to scratch a severe golf itch. Like many kids, Lee idolizes his dad, Sam, a talented golfer who has put his game on hold to focus on his family. But Lee is relentless and vows to spend his summer at Sam's blue-collar country club in the Philly suburbs, hoping it will entice his dad to do the same. Enter the despicable Hal Rustin, who wants nothing more than to see the Lomax family booted from the club. Sam might have no choice but to step in. In The Philly Phenoms, we follow Lee Lomax as he searches for a fix for his golf obsession. He circles a special charity match, held on the first anniversary of 9/11, as both the potential cure and the opportunity of a lifetime for the Lomax family. TOPICS OF CONVERSATION Golf as a Symbol and Passion – Central to the plot and rooted in the author's personal experiences with his father and upbringing. Father-Son Relationship – A deep emotional core of the story, inspired by the author's real bond with his own dad. Themes of Grit and Perseverance – Reflected in Lee's character and motivated by the author's observations as a teacher, especially post-COVID. Blending Humor with Real-World Trauma – Balancing lighthearted moments with heavier subjects like 9/11 and mental health, especially from a child's point of view. Collaborative Creative Process – The book became a group effort, with contributions from friends and colleagues for the cover art, course map, and fictional club logo.

   It didn't take long for Gavin Newsom videos to surface that really destroy his current narrative and none are worse than a pair of social media posts he made.  Yep, Gavin loves the camera and twice before he has bragged about deploying the National Guard in California.  You have to hear this.    If the communists and anarchists have their way, Saturday will be a nationwide day of defiance being organized as something called Rise Up. Why Saturday?  There's three big reasons and we explain.    A Missouri state senator wants to name the St. Louis Cardinals the official pro baseball team of Missouri.  It's curious for a lot of reasons but he also wants to classify the Royals as something less.    The Yankees are in town and the K will be rocking.  We share a couple ideas the Chiefs could be considering if they stay at Arrowhead.  A coach at the College World Series is more than a coach.  The rough at the US Open and what the USGA does with this tourney every year takes away from the greatness of the players.      And our favorite local taco shells are coming back to shelves.  We'll tell you which big food company bought a local gem in Gladstone.  

Two of the most important tournaments in golf are happening THIS weekend. The U.S. Open & The Corner Club Open. Nick and Joe are joined by friend of the program - Bryan Romey. The fellas discuss the merits of the USGA's Exceptional Score Reduction before chatting about the CC Open. Then, which course most exemplifies the U.S. Open? Finally, the guys picks some guys to look at this week at Oakmont, besides Scottie Too Hottie.

 In this episode of Turf Today, Brian and Adam are joined by Scott Pavalko, Director of Golf Course and Grounds at Castle Pines Golf Club in Castle Rock, Colorado.

Scott takes us through his inspiring journey in the turf industry, from learning the ropes from his greatest mentor, to climbing the ranks at world-class venues like Muirfield Village and Cog Hill. This is a very insightful conversation. Scott shares thoughtful perspectives on leadership, course preparation at the highest level, and what it takes to manage elite playing conditions and people under tournament pressure. He's articulate, passionate, and even throws in a few entertaining behind-the-scenes stories from his time on some of golf's most iconic properties.

We are wishing a happy June 6th to you and yours, wherever you may be! Brendan barely has a voice but is still ready to celebrate the second anniversary of the Framework Agreement with Andy on this fine Friday episode. The two open with a lengthy discussion about the future of LIV Golf and the current status of this 731 day-old agreement between the PIF and PGA Tour. They debate whether the two sides ever actually come together and if not, what the best path forward is for everyone involved. From there, this is a bit of an Oakmont preview episode ahead of the 125th U.S. Open next week. Andy has Brendan and PJ attempt to place the top of the field into tiers, with some commentary on players such as Ludvig Åberg, Joaquin Niemann, and Justin Rose. Andy also goes down the list a bit to find a deep sleeper who has the short game to win a U.S. Open at a course like Oakmont. Brendan turns back the clock for a Flashback Friday on the 2016 U.S. Open and the rules controversy that loomed over Dustin Johnson's final round.

GSfMO#387 June 4, 2013: John “Lag” Erickson returns for a Members Only episode to break down his teaching method of improving your swing from impact backwards. We also discuss why bifurcation should be in place so that the USGA and the Tour have different rules. John feels very strongly that it all started going downhill when they allowed metal clubs instead of woods. We get into a deeper conversation about why he thinks everyone would play much better if they knew how to hit with persimmon woods. Strategy is also a very important topic when we discuss how to play better and lower your scores. Once you learn how to hit straight and become a better ball striker, then strategy, or course management, becomes critically important.  For more, check out AdvancedBallStriking.com.Get more when your visit the refreshed golfsmarter.com!Introduce an Upcoming Episode: Receive free gifts for recording a show opening by clicking on "Record Your Show Open Here!" tab on the right side of golfsmarter.com. Watch Daily Video Highlights from Our Interviews: Follow @golfsmarter on Instagram, X, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube daily to see our highlights and helpful insights from our interviews on the podcast. Post a Review: you'll receive three free gifts when you post an honest review about Golf Smarter the podcast.Fill Out a Listener Survey: It only takes a few minutes to fill out our survey, which helps us to better serve your interests in the podcast.

GS#386 May 28, 2013: From Touring to Teaching, John “Lag” Erickson has seen golf from all sides and is concerned that the art of ball striking is disappearing. He contends that today's highly advanced research to make clubs more forgiving is ruining the ability to become a great ball striker.  Even the greatest players of today struggle when handed persimmon clubs, nor could they compete with the pre-metal club pros. It's not just touch, but the sound of hitting balls has changed for the worst. Are you more interested in scoring than ball striking? Jon thinks you may be missing the point. He also says that the USGA and R&A hate golf.  For more, check out John's website at AdvancedBallStriking.com. Jon returns for Part 2 of our conversation in a Members Only episode to discuss his theories of instruction that teaches the swing from impact backwards. John referred to the Shell's Wonderful World of Golf classic matchup of Hogan vs. Snead.
