  • 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 | 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.
The Curtis Cup & Keys to Developing Juniors AND Elite Players
Q: How do you balance dedication and risk of burnout in teenage players while preserving long-term development?
Burnout is less of a concern when the player truly wants to excel; otherwise, intentional scheduling, pauses from competition to work on movement and fundamentals, and emphasizing long-term growth over short-term results are essential.
The Curtis Cup & Keys to Developing Juniors AND Elite Players
Q: What are the common elements you see in successful young players, and how do you ensure they progress as they should?
The core is leaning into their strengths, building around what their bodies allow, and surrounding them with the right team and tools; progress is measured by consistent focus on a few key fundamentals rather than chasing a new fix every week.
Dana Dahlquist: Elite Golf Coaching Secrets & The Future of Instruction | Tour Coach
Q: How do you decide what coaching tools to bring to a given player or clinic?
I look at the player's level and goals and assemble a toolkit that combines 2D video, 3D data, and force plates, then tailor drills and cues from different experts to fit their needs, ensuring the cues align with the biomechanical data and the on-course outcomes.
