| 2/27/26 |  150 Putting Drills with World Golf Hall of Fame Putting Champion, Juan Gutierrez | GS #495 June 30, 2015: We can all sympathize with Dustin Johnson after he 3putted to lose the 2015 US Open on the final hole. So does that mean putting is more important to low scores and winning then driving the ball 300 yards? It’s a great debate, but there’s no argument that better putters shoot lower scores. This week our guest is Juan Gutierrez who’s injury forced him to stay away from full swings for months, so he concentrated on putting. And he got so good that he won the 2011 World Golf Hall of Fame Putting Championship. He’s just released a book called “Make More Putts: A Proven Putting Performance Improvement System” that includes 150 simple putting drills that will impact every golfer’s game. So if you’re not putting to your potential, start with this episode, then get the book! http://amzn.to/1R2iYD4WOW, Fred has been nominated for the 2025 Audiocaster of the Year by the Bay Area Radio Hall of Fame.

| 2/10/26 |  How Properly Fitted Golf Clubs Can Cut 7-10 Strokes from Your Game with Tom Wishon | GS#484 April 14, 2015: Back by popular demand for his 10th appearance on Golf Smarter, Tom Wishon, the world’s authority and (unofficial) spokesperson for custom club fitting returns to address the misinformation from big club makers who want you to believe that buying a one-size-fits-all club off the rack will improve your game. The fact is that every swing and every body style is different, so that what you see on TV or in the hands of this weekend’s Tour winner is probably the wrong club for you. More myths discussed in the Premium episode: • Custom club making is much more expensive. • High handicappers should wait for greater improvement before they invest in custom fit clubs. • Painting a club white is an effective way to introduce new technology To talk to a Custom club fitter in your area, click on the "Find A Clubfitter" section of Tom's website at http://WishonGolf.comWOW, Fred has been nominated for the 2025 Audiocaster of the Year by the Bay Area Radio Hall of Fame.
