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.

Phillis credits her sustained career to evolving from a "fearless" hitter into a savvier technical player, learning to adapt her ball flight to different grids, and prioritizing recovery and intelligent strength training. True Power Starts with Your Hands: A crucial technical insight for anyone wanting more speed: your hands hold the club, so their movement is paramount. Phillis emphasizes that generating speed is a sequencing chain, where proper hip movement ultimately serves to allow the hands to move faster through the hitting zone. Create Pathways So Others Can Follow: Phillis's vision extends far beyond competition. Inspired by her parents, she is actively working to build an indigenous school and recruitment pipeline to help student-athletes from New Zealand and Polynesia transition to U.S. colleges, ensuring they have the support to succeed. Her mission is to show what's possible and pull others up with her.

I got caught up in the hype. Between then and now, I am a better game player with a bit more wisdom. I play the game differently now." On Equipment and Control: "The one thing about the women is that we don't swing it fast enough to afford using lofts lower than a seven-degree head. I have one of the fastest club head speeds, but I use one of the highest lofts on the tour." On Legacy and Lifting Others: "When you're on your way up, always try to look back and pull others up with you. So if people want to keep going further than you, at least they have your shoulders to stand on. Why not be me to kick down that door? I've got a big foot!" Phillis Meti's bio page >> https://modgolf.fireside.fm/guests/phillis-meti Phillis Meti is a multi-time World Long Drive Champion, currently ranked #3 globally, whose career embodies power, resilience, and purpose. Hailing from New Zealand, her journey began at age seven, wielding a club to pick up her father's errant golf balls. A gifted multi-sport athlete, she excelled in netball and discus before a flyer for a local long drive qualifier at age 18 changed her trajectory. Demonstrating breathtaking natural power, she not only qualified but went on to win the World Long Drive Championship in her very first attempt in 2006. Nearly two decades later, Phillis remains a dominant force, combining 125 MPH clubhead speed with hard-earned wisdom to outthink and outlast the competition on grids across the globe.

This week on the Moonlight Graham Show, we're reconnecting with a guest whose story captures the essence of athletic versatility and the relentless pursuit of greatness. Sean Johnson, a towering former baseball player turned World Long Drive competitor, joins us to discuss his incredible ascent in the sport of long drive golf. Sean's athletic prowess first shone on the baseball diamond, where he claimed a junior college national championship with Iowa Western and hurled pitches for Ole Miss in the SEC before dipping into the minor leagues. When we last spoke to Sean a year and a half ago, he was at the beginning of his transition from the ballpark to the tee box – a move that intrigued and excited us. Since that conversation, Sean's trajectory has been nothing short of meteoric. From consistently placing in the top ten to challenging the elite in the sport, Sean has proven his mettle against some of the most powerful athletes in long drive competitions. His recent near-victory at the World Long Drive Championships, where he finished as runner-up to the renowned Kyle Berkshire, cements his status as a formidable force in the sport.
