  • Podcast is awesome, but….

    Recent Dan Hendriksen video revealed some telling details about Crossfield about his off camera behaviour. Politeness is free in this world. You have lost a fan.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The One Stupid Hole
Q: Adam Edwards asks why he struggles on the same hole every week and what can be done to improve.
The hosts suggest grounding expectations for that hole, collecting real data about its difficulty, and considering strategic changes such as using different clubs or varying distances to avoid consistently repeating the same mistake. They emphasize that understanding the hole statistically is more valuable than fixing swing mechanics in isolation.
Steven Alker on Playing Well for Years
Q: How has your preparation changed with age and on the Champions Tour?
Alker explains his shift from constant, all-out practice to a more mental, strategic approach, emphasizing energy conservation, routine, and a simple, repeatable blueprint.
SMS - Tour Pros, Short Chips from Rough, Different Greens
Q: Final setup: short-sided, downhill, five yards or less of green to work with. What is the average?
The answer for that short-sided downhill scenario is 2.66 strokes, and Mark wins this particular round, illustrating how precision matters even in tight, downhill, short-sided chipping.
SMS - Tour Pros, Short Chips from Rough, Different Greens
Q: Does it go up or does it go down when the green is uphill with 13 or more yards of green to work with?
The uphill case yields a slightly different average, with Greg predicting a value around 2.52 and Mark around 2.6, while the correct result lands at 2.42, showing a nuanced shift where uphill can be a bit easier than some anticipate.
SMS - Tour Pros, Short Chips from Rough, Different Greens
Q: Question number one. 13 or more yards of green to work with when it's downhill. Greg said 2.78. Mark said 2.4. The answer is 2.36.
The actual average for that setup is 2.36 strokes to hole out, with Mark and Greg converging toward a near-miss that highlights the subtle differences in chip dynamics with downhill slopes and ample green.
