  • 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.

Building the Perfect Swing with Dr. Luke Benoit
Q: How do you balance comfort and technical correction in practice?
Comfort is misleading; the goal is to develop a durable engine through structured, chunked practice that emphasizes external focus and game-like targets rather than chasing perfect swing thoughts.
Building the Perfect Swing with Dr. Luke Benoit
Q: Talk about the five-step process for practicing that leads to using the ball.
The process starts with calibration to understand path and face using foam or a tee, then progresses to building the pivot, adding a controlled backswing, and finally bridging to full swing with gradual introduction of real balls.
How Golf Unlocks a Happier Life with Erik Anders Lang
Q: How did you fall in love with golf and discover that it could be bigger than a game for the wealthy?
The early, intense immersion into golf happened through trips with my brother, the allure of raw, imperfect experiences, and meeting diverse players on muni courses, which showed me golf's potential to be inclusive and meaningful beyond status.
Legendary Golf Instructor Harvey Penick's Important Basics | Mulligans
Q: What's the best piece of advice you've ever heard from Harvey?
From Harvey, I learned to listen closely to what students tell you about their swing and to not be afraid to say 'I don't know' when you're unsure, because understanding comes from thoughtful reflection rather than pretending to have all the answers.
Explaining the Golf Machine with Joe Daniels
Q: Why is Hogan's swing not a template for everyone?
Hogan's swing was specific to Hogan and his own biomechanics; most players should focus on learning their own hands, patterns, and the Golfing Machine's concepts rather than emulating Hogan's exact motion.
