This is an episode we've been wanting to do for a long time—because we see this all the time in lessons and on the range. If you feel stuck, inconsistent, or overwhelmed in your golf game… this one might hit home.

While it seems helpful, it's often one of the biggest reasons golfers struggle. We break down the three major problems: You don't know the source It's completely out of sequence It doesn't know YOU—your swing, your tendencies, or what you're working on The result? Too many swing thoughts No consistency Zero clarity ✅ What To Do Instead We walk you through a better approach: Pick a trusted coach…
