| 09 Mar 2024 | Episode 2 - What's Food Got To Do With It (Got To Do With It)? | 00:09:29 | |
The food that we put in our bodies is likely the most important factor in health, and therefore body function. When trying to improve in golf, millimeters of club face matter, and hence any nagging inflammation from improper food intake will impact on-course performance.

| 14 Apr 2024 | Episode 6 - You can make it if you try | 00:07:46 | |
Now that the Masters Sunday winner is a foregone conclusion, it's time to get serious about my own game. What makes Scottie special - he has all the skill and doesn't make as many glaring mistakes as his competitors. That's what I want to strive towards. This episode talks to the specific areas of the practice plan with the very limited amount of time that I have to practice. By focusing on my weakest areas, I will devise specific plans to improve upon them.

| 21 Apr 2024 | Episode 7 - You Oughta Know (Expectations) | 00:07:29 | |
How often do you watch golf on TV, and no matter how far they hit from, they are knocking it to 3 feet. Well, these are the best shots of the best players having their best weeks. I will add a bit of realism to the equation, where I will talk about my shot distribution and then the average PGA tour pro, as I realize that I'm not really that bad. Managing expectations will be the key to remain calm throughout the round, which will hopefully lead to better decision making and lower scores.

| 08 May 2024 | Episode 9 - Don't Stop Believin' | 00:13:21 | |
After a horrible opening weekend of golf, it was time to re-group and use the statistics to direct my practice sessions. It paid off, as my 4 scores thusfar have been progressively getting better. With more focus on the golf and less on collecting accurate statistics, my golf scores improved. Bonus: check out the Tiger 5 explanation and comparison near the end.

Then, we will start talking about how to combat some of these issues with muscle loss. https://longevity.stanford.edu/lifestyle/2023/04/11/stop-the-clock-the-shocking-truth-about-age-related-muscle-loss-and-steps-to-fight-back/ Music credit: Time Slips By - Go By Ocean_Ryan McCaffrey Music credit: Time Slips By - Go By Ocean_Ryan McCaffrey | |||
