  • 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.

Tour Coach: The Eye Dominance Secret Behind Nicklaus and Tiger's Swings
Q: Can changing head position or eye position improve performance?
There is no universal rule; coaching should respect an individual's visual system. Some players benefit from learning how their eyes perceive the ball and aligning with their dominant eye, rather than forcing a standardized head position.
Tour Coach: The Eye Dominance Secret Behind Nicklaus and Tiger's Swings
Q: How does eye dominance influence a golfer's setup and aiming?
Eye dominance affects where a player fixes on the ball and how they perceive alignment. Type 1 players tend to rely on the right eye and may keep fixation more consistently, while Type 2 players compensate more and may prefer aiming off slightly as fatigue or pressure affects their dominant eye.
Tour Coach | Golf Live with Justin Parsons & Tony Ruggiero
Q: What are your thoughts on the 15-foot rule and building your system within that?
The 15-foot rule serves as a practical benchmark to create a bullproof system that aligns club selection, distance control, and spin so players can reliably hit to a target within a consistent distance; combined with a four-degree wedge spacing, it helps players map out gaps and maintain feel even as course conditions change.
Tour Coach | Austin Hitt - Believe You’re Good Enough
Q: How would you advise a young player to practice to really get better?
Focus on deliberate practice with a clear direction, create competition-based practice formats, and emphasize practicing with a mindset that mirrors tournament pressure, rather than just hitting balls.
Wedge Fitting & Bunker Secrets + A Hank Johnson Classic
Q: What is the basic reasoning behind wedge fitting starting with the bunker club?
The wedge fitting process should begin with selecting a bunker club that matches the player's typical sand conditions and swing, because the loft, bounce, and grind determine how easily the shot comes out of the sand and how consistent the contact is.
