The Measured Golf Podcast

Send us Fan Mail LIV Golf might be heading toward a funding cliff, and that forces a question nobody can dodge: where do all these world-class players go if the current model changes after 2026? We talk through the ripple effects, from fewer PGA Tour starts and the rise of signature events to what a more global schedule could look like under new leadership with an NFL growth mindset. Then we pivot from the tour drama to the part of golf that actually changes your score tomorrow: course manag...

Send us Fan Mail We’re recording from Chattanooga, Tennessee, and the setting is perfect for a conversation about what golf instruction looks like when you stop guessing and start measuring. After watching members and staff react to a live force plate presentation from Michael , we dig into why ground reaction forces and pressure data can change a golf swing fast without the usual spiral of positions, planes, and swing jargon. When you can see the pressure, forces and torques, you can coach t...

Send us Fan Mail If you’ve ever walked off the range thinking you “found it,” then watched it disappear on the first tee, you’re not alone. We’re kicking off peak golf season vibes with Masters week on the horizon, and we start with the hard stuff: the Tiger Woods DUI news, the body cam conversation, and why it’s possible to feel empathy while still demanding real accountability. Golf has heroes, but it also has humans, and we talk honestly about what happens when the world decides it’s “open...

Send us Fan Mail Tournament season is here, and the biggest mistake we see is golfers trying to “cram” right before a qualifier, club championship, or member guest. We’re coming to you from Florida and Michigan with a practical two-week tournament prep plan that focuses on what actually holds up under pressure: recovery, decision-making, and a repeatable process you can trust when your hands feel shaky over a short putt. We talk about the unglamorous performance drivers that decide your scor...

Send us Fan Mail A comeback isn’t a swing change. It’s a rebuild. We open with Anthony Kim’s emotional return and what it really takes to compete again: repetition, rehab, and the daily work of protecting sobriety while the world watches. From there we get ruthlessly practical about scoring. Speed is a multiplier, not a mask. If your proximity is weak and your short game can’t control launch and land angle, an extra 10 yards won’t fix your card. We cut through stat myths and explain why fair...

Send us Fan Mail Change lands best when it solves a real problem. We’re turning the page from a solo monologue to a sharper, listener-first format with Chuck stepping in as co-host—someone who plays, practices, and presses for answers like you do. Together, we’ll keep the mission tight: translate golf technology into simple steps that make you hit it better, straighter, and longer without the fluff. We walk through the full coaching workflow, starting with ball flight because the ball doesn’...

Send us Fan Mail Tired of tip-chasing and still shooting the same scores? Let’s flip the script. We’re bringing our YouTube instruction back with a tighter focus on concepts that hold up under force plates, launch monitors, and on-course outcomes—no dogma, no magic moves, just the stuff that actually changes ball flight and scores. We also share travel plans so you can hop on the plates with us in person, or work together online with real data. Here’s the heart of it: better golf starts by m...

Send us Fan Mail A week at the 2026 PGA Show can feel like standing in a golf-tech firehose—demos, debates, and a thousand new claims. We cut through the noise with a coach’s eye, sharing what truly matters: tools that measure well, connect cleanly, and turn data into better shots. From presenting alongside leaders in biomechanics to late-night Open Forum exchanges, the theme is clear—measurement is only as valuable as its application. We break down the biggest moves in integrated systems. T...

Send us Fan Mail Change sounds inspiring until it asks you to feel awkward, look odd, and swing “worse” before it gets better. We dive into the real reason most golfers stall: chasing outcomes while avoiding the uncomfortable work of reshaping a motor pattern. Instead of miracle tips, we map a practical path that ties movement, club delivery, and ball flight together with measurement, clarity, and grit. We talk about why grit often beats raw talent and how the “natural” label hides the hours...

Send us Fan Mail Think your swing is one good tip away from greatness? We dig into why that chase feels good in the bay and falls apart on the course, then lay out a cleaner way to build durable skills. Michael breaks down the traps DIY golfers face—treating symptoms instead of causes, relying on timing rather than sequencing, and trusting slick marketing over objective data—and shows how small fundamentals create big change. We start with the real baseline: a neutral club path target betwee...

Send us Fan Mail Snow on the ground, swing on the mind. We dive into how to practice smart on a launch monitor so your game actually holds up on real turf, in real wind, with real consequences. Instead of chasing viral ball speed and “perfect” numbers, we zero in on what travels: neutral patterns, true carry distances, balanced dispersion, wedge control, and putting speed you can trust. We start by busting two big myths: that every great swing must live in an in-to-out path and that hitting ...

Send us Fan Mail Tired of hearing that the “new face is hotter” and you’ll gain 20 yards overnight? Let’s cut through the noise. We unpack why many golf fittings overpromise, how launch monitor “totals” mislead you on soft fairways, and what numbers actually predict better scores on real courses. You’ll learn why carry should be your north star, how modern heads underspin on mishits, and the simple way to pressure‑test a setup against your typical misses instead of your single best swing. We...

Send us Fan Mail Looking for more distance without sacrificing control or your back? We dig into why most golf speed programs fall short and what actually creates sustainable gains: sequencing, braking, and face stability. Instead of stuffing a V8 into a Civic, we focus on upgrading the brakes—teaching your body to decelerate at the right time so the shaft can kick and speed shows up where it matters. We break down the chain from pressure shift to ground reaction forces, how a closing face i...
