It’s Not Your Swing — It’s Your Setup

About this episode

The episode discusses how a golfer's setup is often the real issue behind poor shots, rather than their swing.

This week, the Golf Guys pull back the curtain on why shots go sideways — for tour pros and weekend players alike. From Rory’s Masters meltdown to the average golfer’s belief that they can self‑diagnose their own swing, the guys break down what teaching pros really see, why amateurs often chase the wrong fixes, and how tiny mistakes at impact can turn into massive misses. And before you blame your swing, the crew explains why your setup is usually the real culprit. It’s part instruction, part myth‑busting, and classic Golf Guys honesty.
