  • Not for me

    I like the content. Like the guests. I find the host to be almost unlistenable. Interjects and interrupts. He’s smug and seems arrogant.

  • Too many ads.

    The amount of ads is a bit extreme. Just found the podcast and played the first episode. First 6 mins were commercials and after 30 minutes there have been and additional for 3 lengthy ad segments. If you want to keep fast forwarding every few minutes, maybe it’ll be worthwhile for you.

  • Full of Adverts.

    I tried the latest podcast but gave up after about 15 minutes because there seemed to be more adverts than content. A shame because the content sounded as if it might get interesting but the interviewee was interrupted by ads so often that there was no flow.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Correct Biomechanics to Maximize your Swing with Sasho MacKenzie
Q: What three things would you recommend for an average player to improve their game quickly?
Hit high-volume, non-full-effort shots to build solid contact and distance; focus on strategy to maximize scoring chances on the course; and incorporate regular physical activity or training to support speed and mobility.
The Art of Simple Golf with Alex Fortey
Q: If someone only has a couple of weeks to improve before a tournament, what would you have them do?
Work on three-putt avoidance with short putts, practice lag putting to get distance control, and develop one reliable stock shot for the course that you can execute under pressure.
The Art of Simple Golf with Alex Fortey
Q: What are three practical tips everyday golfers can start with to improve fast?
Practice the feet-together drill to reduce variables, focus on a consistent setup with a simple pre-shot routine, and work on a stock, repeatable drive that you can hit with confidence three feet from the ground up.
The Art of Simple Golf with Alex Fortey
Q: Why do you think the swing is so hard for golfers to repeat, and how do you suggest addressing that?
The industry has created a lot of noise and excess analysis; the key is to simplify to a reliable setup and to focus on feel rather than exact positions, using simple checkpoints to stay centered and balanced.
The Anti-Jack Nicklaus with DJ Watts
Q: With Weiskopf, what were the things that made his swing so great?
His swing was gorgeous and powerful with a tall, upright build, and his hip-driven rotation provided leverage; the issue wasn't the swing itself but his temperament and inconsistent practice, especially around the short game.
