New goals are exciting until the scorecard refuses to move. We pull back the curtain on why the distance craze hasn’t slashed averages and show a cleaner path to real improvement: objective tracking, targeted practice, and smarter decisions from tee to green. Instead of chasing every tip, we walk through how to benchmark your game with Clippd, read your trend lines, and translate those insights into simple routines that actually change outcomes. You’ll hear how small edges compound: rolling ...

Why Chasing Golf Improvement Alone Fails And How To Fix It
Think your swing is one good tip away from greatness? We dig into why that chase feels good in the bay and falls apart on the course, then lay out a cleaner way to build durable skills. Michael breaks down the traps DIY golfers face—treating symptoms instead of causes, relying on timing rather than sequencing, and trusting slick marketing over objective data—and shows how small fundamentals create big change. We start with the real baseline: a neutral club path target between −2 and +2 degre...

Stop Chasing Perfect, Start Learning Golf
Ready to stop renting swing changes and finally own your game? We dig into why so many golfers stall out despite new gear and endless tips, and we map a clearer path forward: study your miss patterns, track real data, and train skills that hold up on real lies with real pressure. The goal isn’t perfect positions; it’s predictable outcomes. We pull back the curtain on golf’s hype cycle and why “buying a game” rarely works. Then we get specific: where to place force in the swing, why stability...

Why Chasing Numbers Can Hurt Your Game
Snow on the ground, swing on the mind. We dive into how to practice smart on a launch monitor so your game actually holds up on real turf, in real wind, with real consequences. Instead of chasing viral ball speed and “perfect” numbers, we zero in on what travels: neutral patterns, true carry distances, balanced dispersion, wedge control, and putting speed you can trust. We start by busting two big myths: that every great swing must live in an in-to-out path and that hitting up with the drive...

From Feathery To Force Plates: Why Today’s Swing Must Evolve
The swing most golfers try to copy was built for a different ball, a different driver, and a different course. We open the hood on modern golf and explain why the urethane revolution, 460cc “10K” drivers, and longer, lusher setups flipped the problem you’re trying to solve. If balata demanded de-loft and spin control, today’s game rewards height, speed, and tight face control—backed by measurement instead of myth. We dig into the big pivot points: how TrackMan corrected ball flight laws so y...

Why Fittings Typically Don't Help Your Game, And How To Optimize Your Bag
Tired of hearing that the “new face is hotter” and you’ll gain 20 yards overnight? Let’s cut through the noise. We unpack why many golf fittings overpromise, how launch monitor “totals” mislead you on soft fairways, and what numbers actually predict better scores on real courses. You’ll learn why carry should be your north star, how modern heads underspin on mishits, and the simple way to pressure‑test a setup against your typical misses instead of your single best swing. We walk through the...

Coaching Amateurs Vs. Professionals
Want to practice like it counts? We open the notebook from a Scottsdale trip and dig into the real differences between coaching tour players and everyday golfers—where benchmarks, decision-making, and data matter more than pretty swings. Pros already meet the speed, approach, and scrambling standards, so the work shifts to human skills: choosing the right shot, trusting a plan, and validating ideas with objective feedback. Amateurs often miss the target by misreading their own games, chasing ...

Why Most Golf Speed Training Fails And How To Fix It
Looking for more distance without sacrificing control or your back? We dig into why most golf speed programs fall short and what actually creates sustainable gains: sequencing, braking, and face stability. Instead of stuffing a V8 into a Civic, we focus on upgrading the brakes—teaching your body to decelerate at the right time so the shaft can kick and speed shows up where it matters. We break down the chain from pressure shift to ground reaction forces, how a closing face in transition forc...

Why Chasing Scratch Is Holding You Back
Chasing scratch sounds noble until it blinds us to how golfers truly improve. We open the hood on handicaps—what they actually measure, why differentials are about potential rather than averages, and how course rating, slope, and conditions can make an 80 a great round for a scratch player on a brutal track. The math is fine; the misuse isn’t. When scorecards include gimmes and casual OB drops, indexes drift into vanity or inflate into sandbagging, and suddenly net leaderboards look like fant...

Why Golf Lessons Fail
Ever take lessons, swing “better,” and still shoot the same scores? We unpack why so many fixes fade under pressure and how to build change that sticks. Michael shares a candid client story that redefines what makes a “great coach,” then dives into the core problem: chasing the club instead of coaching the human moving it. You’ll hear why discomfort is essential to motor learning, how implicit practice away from the ball builds durable patterns, and why timing good shots isn’t the same as seq...

When Golf Becomes A Moral Compass And Maybe Even More
What if golf isn’t just a game, but maybe moral code or even more? I open up and share the moments that made me see golf as a kind of secular faith—rituals, standards, and the quiet work we do when nobody’s watching. We talk about how COVID packed tee sheets without truly creating more "golfers", why bunkers go unraked and greens riddled with ball marks, and what Scotland gets right: community at the heart of the course, honest handicaps, firm ground that teaches scoring from the soil up.

Inside Bethpage: Spectacle, Shame, and Sublime Golf
The roars at Bethpage were real—but so was the unease. I was on the ground for the 2025 Ryder Cup, and what I witnessed was a jarring split-screen: world-class golf from both teams and a fan atmosphere that too often went from passion to hostility. Europe executed in foursomes and four-ball with poise and precision, while the U.S. mounted a gutsy Sunday charge that turned the final day into must-watch drama. From JT’s magic to Rose vs. Cam Young on 18, the shots were worthy of the stage. The ...

Journey Through Golf's Heart
Standing on the first tee of the Old Course at St. Andrews, a strange calm washed over me. The nerves that typically plague my game had vanished. Six holes later, after holing out an eagle on the ninth, I turned to where my father would have stood and whispered, "That's for you, Dad." Twenty years after his passing, I broke down in tears on golf's holiest ground, feeling his presence in a way I hadn't experienced since losing him. This transformative journey through the UK revealed the stark...
