The eyes are an athlete's, and a golfer's biggest weapon and so it would make sense to train them, as well as protect and enhance what they see. Jondo Eyewear, with its Krisp technology built into every lens, does just that.

Mark Immelman is joined by South Africa's Dr. Pieter Naude (Optometrist and inventor of the Krisp technology), Mike De Jongh (former ATP Tennis Player and Jondo partner) and Morne Botha (Jondo CEO) to talk about the eyewear and how they are specifically designed to be the best sport-performance/fashion eyewear in the business.

The Jondo organizational aim is to provide golfers with high contrast enhancement lenses for better on-course performance. As the Jondo crew introduce the eyewear the following performance elements are discussed:

Krisp Technology vs Polarized lenses and how Krisp virtually eliminates haze and glare.
How the Jondo eyewear boosts Reds, Greens and Blues of the color spectrum and how those colors help golfers to better sight the golf-ball, read greens and see contrasts in slope and grain.
Spectral Filtration - what it is and what it does for a golfer's performance
Perceptual Distortion and how Jondo Eyewear's design elimimates that, and
Jondo's lens design and thickness and how it protects from injury to the eyes.

Improve Your Alignment and Your Putting with "On Point" Insights from Briston Peterson

Briston Peterson is the founder of On Point Golf. On Point manufactures the revolutionary 3D domed Golf Ball Marker.

The On Point Marker is designed to improve your Spatial Acuity which in turn leads to improvements in green-reading, aim and alignment, and eventually more holed putts.

The reason for the success of the marker is that human being are 3D creatures, living in a 3D world, but our eyes can show us only two dimensions. The On Point 3D Marker bridges that gap and allows a golfer to dial-in his/her focus and intensely concentrate, creating the effect of "tunnel vision" which enhances the golfer's confidence on the greens.

Briston joins #OntheMark to introduce the marker, illustrate how it works, and dive into the mechanics of how it helps a golfer to improve his/her stereoscopic vision for better alignment and the commensurate marginal gains that promotes.

He also shares a putting tip from On Point Ambassador, US Open champion Jim Furyk.

Other putting improvement concepts include:

Improvements in Putting Speed and Lines
Charting Marginal Gains for Confidence
The Value of Instinct and the "First Impression" in Green Reading, and
Reading Greens from a Wide to Narrow perspective and approach.

This podcast is sure to help you improve your confidence on the greens in order to lower your scores. Listen to it on audio or watch it on YouTube - search and subscribe to Mark Immelman.

Some call it grit, others call it mental toughness, but Matt Caldaroni calls it Molliteum. He joins #OntheMark to explain the concept and how you can become more resilient so you can become the best version of your athletic self.

Caldaroni discusses:

Mindest Coaching for athletes
Helping athletes reach their full potential through resilience
Developing toughness
How GOATS are made - playing mentally free, an inward focus, and embracing setbacks
The truth behind why most athletes fail
The Kaizen approach, and
Repetition, reprogramming of the mind and reinventing yourself
