  • Adam Tangents Need More Discretion

    I have listened to this podcast for years now. I have appreciated the content that Jon and Adam have brought to the golf world and I’ve benefited tremendously from their insights.

  • Great Depth

    I enjoy the show very much. Great to hear the voices behind the books. Obviously it can be information overload. But that is ok. One thing In would love to be covered in detail is exploring the idea of the best swing models based on body type and relative dimensions.

  • Perfectly complements Chasing Scatch

    Like most golfers, I am striving to get better. I really enjoy the in-depth discussions on this podcast and the way Jon and Adam present the information to the listeners. I first found out about the podcast by listening to Chasing Scratch when they had Adam Young on as a guest very early on and I’ve been hooked ever since.
