  • It’s audio

    Content doesn’t really matter much if you can’t hear it. I listened a while back, seemed like he did while he was traveling. I check back and see he’s got Jim McClean on and I can’t hear Jim at all. Very strange. All this time and money and sponsors and such terrible audio. Very odd.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Golf Swing Tips to Avoid: 4 Coaches Call Out Bad Advice | Tour Coach
Q: What do you think about teachers that can't demonstrate a shot or their swing really isn't?
The coaches value instructors who understand how to play and hit shots, but emphasize that a strong record of helping golfers improve is also important.
Golf Swing Tips to Avoid: 4 Coaches Call Out Bad Advice | Tour Coach
Q: What are some of the pet peeves of the things that you see out there on social media?
The coaches object to generic tips, excessive rotation advice and drills shared without explaining their purpose or checking whether a golfer can perform them safely.
Coaching in the Age of Information Overload | Tour Coach
Q: With the focus so much on distance for the last several years, have you seen any deficiencies in short game skills from college players you coach?
Parsons says increasing speed and distance can compromise distance control and wedge play, while Flint stresses that golfers outside the top programs often do not practice their short games enough. Both say strong short-game performance is crucial to scoring.
Coaching in the Age of Information Overload | Tour Coach
Q: Is it harder to build a player's confidence and belief now versus 20 years ago because there's more information, potential distraction out there?
Parsons and Flint say it is harder because players have access to more tips and opinions online. They recommend building trust, creating a clear plan and helping players filter outside information rather than trying to block it entirely.
Your Golf Isn’t Mental, It’s Mismatched | Tour Coach
Q: Were some of the great players you have taught faster learners than others?
Foley says some players pick up a movement quickly, but that does not mean they have built a dependable pattern. Repetition matters, and a skill learned on the range may break down under tournament pressure.
