Ep 214: The One Constraint Holding Back Your Golf Game

About this episode

Chris Finn discusses Constraint Theory and its impact on improving golf performance through a focused approach.

What if there was one thing holding back your golf game—and fixing it made everything else easier? In this episode, Chris Finn breaks down Constraint Theory and how it applies to golf performance, fitness, technique, and equipment. Instead of chasing random fixes, you’ll learn how to identify the single “domino” that’s limiting your progress—and why addressing it first changes everything. Chris walks through how to apply constraint thinking across three key areas:• Physical (mobility, strength, power, and efficiency)• Technical (how you actually swing the club)• Equipment (what’s helping—or hurting—you in your bag) Using clear assessments, real-world examples, and a simple car analogy, this episode explains why overspeed training, strength work, or new clubs often fail when done out of order—and how to build performance the right way for speed, longevity, and injury prevention. If you’ve ever felt stuck despite “doing all the right things,” this mental model will change how you approach improvement—on the course and in the gym. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Claim Your FREE Home Assessment: https://go.par4success.com/podcast Follow…
