I’m all about removing variables and making the game simpler on the course. What do you think are good examples of this that have helped in your game?

@LouStagner 6%

How many putts will the typical 10-index player average from 10 feet?

@fehrgolf Have to remember this sometimes

Coaches, hang in there and hold strong when your students will not embrace the process. Explain with scientific support of the learning phase. If they won’t embrace it, let them go. It’s not you, it’s them at that point.

@LouStagner .8

For amateurs with a 10 index: What percent of their tee shots with driver are over 300 yards (total yards)? Give your answer to one decimal of precision (e.g. 10.7%). Curious how many guesses before we get a correct one.

@gordonp90902242 @practicalgolf Straight goes furthest

@practicalgolf Been told my whole life a draw is 10-15 yards longer.

What ball flight do you think goes farther with a driver? • Draw • Fade • Straight Let's explore and find out!

@LouStagner 8%

From 160 yards in the fairway what is the percent chance the typical scratch player hits it on the green and less than 20 feet from the hole?

Quick question... How many brands are in your bag? Doing some research 👇🏽💬

@fehrgolf Not enough hours in the day for them to comprehend all that goes into playing great golf

The deeper I dig into coaching performance (golf, specifically), I feel that it is difficult for the player (customer) to find and assemble the holistic approach that is most effective and efficient. Any coaches out there who understand and want to collaborate, DM me.

To the “my swing doesn’t feel the same as it did yesterday” crowd. Your body feels different each day. Not sure why your swing wouldn’t either. Stop prioritizing feel and start prioritizing ball flight.

Here’s something cool to remember, if you move the club through the impact area like your favorite player, you’ll produce the same ball flight as your favorite player 🤯

It’s incredibly important when working on something new, that you give yourself permission to hit bad shots in the early going.

All too often golfers fall into the trap of thinking there’s always something to work on. At some point you need to go play golf and let your experiences on the course shape your swing as well ✌️

If an instructor tells you what something should “feel” like, it is merely them relaying their own internal experiences. It is likely it won’t apply to you.

You could literally make the golf swing of your dreams if you just went slowly enough…

I feel like once you’ve played this game for long enough, you start to realize how exhausting it is to react emotionally to good or bad golf shots. So much more productive to just move on to the next one and give it everything you’ve got.

Things that help on the course: 1. Realistic expectations 2. Game plan for each hole 3. Taking extra club 4. Selecting optimal targets

Player: “I don’t care what shot shape I hit off the tee I just want to be consistent.” Coach: “Until you decide what you want the face and the path to do every time, you’ll never be consistent.” You have to decide what you want the ball to do on EVERY swing you make.

The #1 thing preventing you from improving your swing is your aversion to making less than full swings at slow speeds without a ball.

I’m coming out with the greatest training aid the world has ever seen. You ready? It’s called slow motion, deliberate practice swings. It’s free and guaranteed to work for every single golfer.

If you’re going to complain about less than ideal conditions when you play golf, you need to switch to a sport that is played indoors #mindset
