Better Golf Academy: Strategy to Awesome Golf

Are you in a slump? Are you feeling cluttered, overwhelmed, and lost? In this episode, we’re breaking the cycle: no more band-aid fixes, no more swing overhaul madness. Instead, we’re going against conventional wisdom with three powerful (and often overlooked) strategies.

Plus, we’ll talk about the real reason slumps linger (hint: it’s not your swing) and how to fall back in love with the game when nothing seems to work. If you’re tired of the endless grind and ready for a smarter way out of your slump, this episode is your game plan.

"The slump isn’t your enemy—it’s your teacher. Time to start listening."

Learning Not To Dwell

What do Roger Federer, Scottie Scheffler, and Rory McIlroy all have in common? It’s not just their incredible talent or their trophies—it’s their ability to bounce back. In this episode, we dive deep into the art of resilience, exploring how the greatest athletes in the world turn setbacks into comebacks.

Did you know that even Federer, one of the most dominant tennis players of all time, only won 54% of the points he played? Or that Scottie Scheffler, the current world number one in golf, has the highest bounce back rate on the PGA Tour at 33.33%? These stats aren’t just numbers—they’re proof that mistakes are inevitable, but how you respond is what makes you a champion.

Stop Practicing Like a Robot

What if everything you’ve been told about practice is wrong?

I spent 25 years playing piano the “right” way—grinding the same songs, chasing perfection, and dreading every recital. Then, I watched my son fall in love with music overnight... not by memorizing notes, but by playing thunder.

Turns out, golf practice has the same problem. Most players are stuck in their own lifeless recital—mindlessly smashing balls, grooving flaws, and wondering why they never improve.

In this episode, you’ll learn why the driving range is LYING to you (and what to do instead). And learn about the science-backed secret to loving practice (hint: It’s not about perfect swings).

The best golfers aren’t made in sterile repetition. They’re forged in chaos, creativity, and curiosity.
