T-Time with Tori Totlis (Tori Totlis)

When my mom accepted the invitation to join us for the 2024 California Crush Invitational, I knew it would be an unforgettable experience. My sister Alix joins me today to reflect on Mom’s first-ever golf tournament experience and the lessons women golfers can take to heart through her example!

From Napa to Tampa, Mom’s unique challenges as a first-timer speak to the women out there who are thinking about taking the leap into their first tournament, but for one reason or another, they are holding back–whether due to a higher handicap index or otherwise.

With Mom being a casual golfer by nature, Alix and I never felt prouder witnessing her achieve her first birdie! She adapted beautifully to the formalities of an 18-hole match, thanks in no small part to the supportive environment we were immersed in throughout those two amazing days!

Of course, it wouldn’t be a conversation with Alix without a diversion into the latest golf fashion trends (can you say “wide-leg pants”?). After a quick discussion on said trends, Alix and I wrap things up by talking about the power of connecting with like-minded individuals who share our passion for women empowering women out on the course!

?   Sam lists the five things which have transformed his golf game significantly over the past year.

?   Sam enlightens us on the software-based “Stack System” he adopted to improve his golf swing speed and driving distance.

?   “I don’t care about being good at the range,” Sam says. “I’m trying to be good at playing golf.” This is the reason he’s focusing on improving his short game.

?   This being his first Mid-Am, Sam tells us how he’s been managing his expectations out on the course. “I don’t expect to win,” he says, “but I don’t go out there expecting not to!”

I’m sitting down with Christine Fraser, an Ontario-based golf course architect, to discuss the world of golf course design from the perspective of one of the very few women in the industry.

We kick things off by discussing trends in golf course architecture over the decades, as well as what goes into “strategic design”, including fairway length, bunker placement, approach width, and environmental impact—especially water consumption.

The bulk of our conversation revolves around her advice on designing golf courses with women in mind.

About the Guest:

Christine Fraser is a golf course architect based in Ontario, Canada. Having grown up learning to play golf on her family’s golf course and later competing in the NCAA Division One Varsity Golf circuit in Florida, golf has always been a prominent feature in Christine’s journey. In 2014, Christine completed her master’s degree in landscape architecture and subsequently spent five years in England, practicing golf course design under world-renowned architect Dr. Martin Hawtree. Christine has recently made Canadian golf history when hired as the first female architect to undertake a comprehensive Master Plan at the Toronto Hunt Club.

Tori and Kim sit down with Shelly Haywood, who discusses how she has been able to successfully balance business ownership with high level amateur golf and became one of the most elite amateur players in the country.

 Shelly discusses the highest highs in her storied career, which include winning two national titles, as well as her biggest loss in the form of the 2019 Southern California Senior Women’s Tournament and the priceless lessons that followed.

 Key Moments

?      (15:37) If time is a real issue, focus on quality practice. “I’m lucky if I can play once a week,” says Shelly. She prioritizes her short game over all else.

?      (33:00) Shelly’s first major tournament, the 2019 Southern California Senior Women, was also her first major loss. Being only a year into her pro career, Shelly knew that she simply didn’t have the experience nor the tools to be able to evaluate what went wrong in the moment. She’s since realized that the primary challenge she faced during that tournament was all a mental game, particularly around her self-worth. Her biggest lesson learned? “I am not defined as a person by the score that I shoot.” That the only thing she, as a player, can control is the shot in front of you. “Once that ball leaves the club face, it’s out of your control.”

?      (48:01) When men play good golf, they’re happy. When women are happy, they play good golf.

?      (51:17) Stop obsessing over “winning” the tournament you’re planning to play. We all want to win; otherwise, we wouldn’t go! Stay focused on the things you can control and let go of the things that you can’t. Take care of the little things and the big things will always follow. In golf, take care of your short game, your wedge game, and your bunker play, and commit to every shot 100%. Beyond that, stay grateful and in shape.

I’m sitting down with Hannah Gregg and Fredrik Lindblom, co-founders of Short Game Gains. Listen in as they talk about their suite of golf practice aid products, with a deep dive into their Signature Steel Putting Mirror.

Fred explains why he believes that any golfer worth their salt treats their game like a business, while Hannah shares how her educational background in journalism combined with her social media brand served her career in professional golf later on.

Hannah also gives an inside look into the high-pressure world of golf tournaments beginning with her experience at the Epson Tour Q-School. She and Fred share their strategies for dealing with the intense stress every aspiring pro golfer has to navigate consistently, highlighting the importance of routines, meditation, rest, having a coach, and being willing to overhaul your swing strategy.

About Hannah Gregg:

Hannah is a co-founder of Short Game Gains. She turned pro in 2019 and went to Q-School. Hannah earned conditional status on the Symetra Tour and played several events on the Women’s All Pro Tour as well. In 2019 Hannah started to notice the difficulty and expense of getting various practice aids and wanted to find a brand that allowed golfers to get all of the tools they needed in one place–like a Golf Toolbox. And the idea of Short Game Gains was born. Hannah continues to manage the United States side of SGG and play professional golf full time.

The Babes Golf crew and I sit down with Justin Klemballa, who breaks down the 14 most common misconceptions about the golf swing.

“You need to keep your left arm straight on the backswing.”

“Always keep your head down after impact.”

“The club face should point at the target and swing across your body.”

“You have to improve your technique to improve your score.”

We’ve all come across these “rules” at some point or another. Listen in as Justin passionately and expertly debunks these newbie mistakes and more, all while highlighting best practices on the green that you can tailor to your individual strengths as a golfer, setting you apart from all the rest!

PART TWO of the conversation with Tori, Kim, Tara and Pat as they continue their discussion on tournament must-knows in the wake of their time at the Desert Classic.

 This time, they dive into their top five etiquette rules that every tournament player needs to keep in mind.

 Key Moments

?      (02:36) Show up if you made a commitment. That means all two or three days of the tournament! It even includes individual tournaments, no matter how poorly you’re performing because, as Kim reminds us, “You have to take the good with the bad.” By demonstrating that you have the integrity and gumption to stick with it no matter what, you’ll almost always be invited to play another tournament.

?      (06:56) Don’t step in someone else’s putting line. It’s almost always unintentional, but it will throw off a lot of players.

?      (08:49) Always ask whether to have the flag in or out on the first hole. A lot of players won’t care either way, but it’s always best practice to ask.

?      (10:10) Always ask whether players want to play ready golf or honors. Some players like to start with honors, others don’t. But when it comes to the putting green, always go with honors.

?      (14:35) Always ask before playing music. The rule of thumb here is, the more serious the tournament, the less appropriate it is to play music. In a similar vein, try not to be on your phone for too much of the game, as this will likewise distract the other players.

?      (18:25) Help others in the group look for lost balls. Aside from basic etiquette, making the effort to look for a lost ball helps with pace of play. Once the player gets to the location, they have three minutes to look for the ball until it’s considered lost.

?      (20:53) Fixing ball marks and filling sand divots. And don’t just fix and fill yours. Fix and fill two more.

I’m sitting down with Jon Sherman of Practical Golf to discuss his five best tips for supercharging your golf game during the offseason!

“It’s much easier to make a change in your golf game,” says Jon, “in a risk-free environment.”

Your offseason is the absolute best time to troubleshoot your game and make changes that you simply won’t be able to track with efficiency in the thick of those competitive months.

With the help of a good instructor, use these next few weeks to make a series of 1% improvements on everything from rewiring your golf swing to setting achievable goals for tournament season. And as a pro tip, try recording your training sessions to really dial in on the details that you need to work on.

Jon also shares how to make the best use of an hour of indoor practice, and how to keep in top shape by making full use of resistance and speed training. Finally, he reveals his go-to strategy for fine-tuning your equipment and the art of setting process-oriented goals that will take your golf game to the next level!

Ever found yourself frozen over the golf ball, your mind buzzing with so many thoughts that your swing becomes stiff, and your shot goes wayward? That’s what Jim McLean calls a “Death Move”, and there are 21 of these moves that can completely wreck your golf swing! Jim writes about all 21 Death Moves in his book, "The 8-Step Swing".

In the first of this 3-part series, Justin Klemballa, who was mentored by McLean himself, discusses the first 7 of these 21 death moves in golf, starting with the paralysis of overthinking. Make sure you tune in, since we don’t just call out these mistakes, but provide actionable tips and strategies to ensure you avoid making them going forward.

We've all seen it, maybe even done it — moving our head towards the target as we swing. It's a rather common misstep that can lead to what's known as a reverse pivot in the downswing. Justin and I delve into the reasons behind this prevalent error and provide a handy shadow drill for rectifying it.

But it's not just about the head movement; overextending your backswing, failing to engage your hips, or having too “armsy” or "handsy" a backswing can throw off your entire game. We explore how rotating the hands in a clockwise position can open the clubface too much, prompting a state of recovery in your swing. On the other hand, we also go through the pitfalls of having the clubface being too closed.

To wrap up, we tackle the seventh death move — an open club face at the top of the swing. It's a common error among slicers, often resulting in a low left hook. We'll walk you through the differences between a square face and an open face at the top of the swing and explain how a cupped left wrist can prompt the face to open.

Today, Justin Klemballa and I discuss the importance of smart decision-making on the course, showing that: while drills and strategy make a huge difference, a strong mental game often trumps technique in shaving strokes off your score.

Ever found yourself floundering in a fairway bunker? Justin spills the secrets to training the often-neglected bunker shot even if you lack access to a venue that allows you to practice them effectively.

We talk about turning recreational rounds into practice sessions, and why aiming for bogey might just be your ticket to a lower scorecard. Justin gives his thoughts on greenside bunker play and breaks down a simple yet effective bunker drill to improve your game before you even set foot on the course.

As the overseeding period comes to an end and anticipation for the winter season mounts, it’s important to ensure you’ve sharpened your game. I give an inside look into my own practice schedule and talk about the need for a well-thought-out plan and a balance between swing, short game, and putting practice.

In the second part of our conversation, Lynn Marriott and Pia Nilsson of VISION54 discuss the intricate dance of tempo, tension, and balance in golf, and share insights on how the right mental and emotional tools can transform your game.

Our guests share their own experiences navigating these three elements while out on the green, offering a relatable glimpse into the high-stakes world of competitive golf.

“You can have a great golf swing,” Lynn says, “but tension ruins it.” Mastering your swing's tempo and managing tension doesn't just come down to practice at the range; it's also about the stories we tell ourselves on the course.

We share practical strategies to enhance your golf performance, from intentional breathing to slow-motion practice. But it's not all about the physical; the mental game plays a pivotal role. Learn how emotional resilience, positive affirmations and realistic self-talk can create a narrative that propels you towards excellence, and discover how to remain fully present, giving you that competitive edge.

Finally, Lynn and Pia discuss how embracing gratitude and tapping into positive memories can not only improve coordination and decision-making but also bring joy back to the game.

About Lynn Marriott, Pia Nilsson, and VISION54:

Lynn Marriott and Pia Nilsson are co-founders of VISION54, a breakthrough program and golf school based at Talking Stick Golf Club in Scottsdale, Arizona. Lynn and Pia are internationally recognized, are the two highest ranked female instructors in America, and have been selected as Golf Digest’s Best Teacher of All Time. GOLFMagazine selected them both to be Top 100 Teachers: Lifetime Achievement recipients. They are the authors of four best-selling books, including their newest release Be A Player.

Tara Bateman and I sit down with Missy Farr-Kaye, head coach of the ASU Women's golf team and recent inductee into the Arizona Golf Hall of Fame.

Listen in as Missy shares her journey in women's golf and discusses the sport's evolution, including advancements in training and equipment. Tara also offers a window into the world of caddying, reflecting on the physical demands of the job, and highlighting the surge of young talent in the field.

Missy shares her expertise on rebuilding a divided team and the powerful influence of mentors in transforming a struggling squad. She also gives her thoughts on the impact of recent NCAA rule changes and the rise of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) agreements on college athletics. We learn how these developments are reshaping the landscape of college sports, influencing recruitment, and blurring the lines between amateur and professional status.

We also touch on the importance of self-motivation for junior golfers, the necessary life skills for success both on and off the course, and the challenges of athlete transfers in the current college sports environment.

About Missy Farr-Kaye:

Missy Farr-Kaye, arguably one of the most respected golf coaches in the country, spent 13 seasons as an assistant coach and then associate head coach of the Sun Devil women's golf program. An accomplished golfer in her own right, Missy was a member of the Sun Devil golf team under Hall of Fame head coach Linda Vollstedt and helped Arizona State bring home its first of seven NCAA Titles as a senior in 1990. In addition to all her on-the-course accomplishments, she has been equally inspirational and driven off the course. She has defeated cancer on two different occasions, most recently announcing she was cancer-free days before leading Sun Devil Women's Golf through a 2021 season that ended with a fifth-place NCAA finish.

I’m back with Scott Fawcett, founder of the DECADE Course Management System, to get the ins-and-outs of his unique approach to breaking 80 this summer!

This time, we’re really getting into the weeds of course management strategy. Scott highlights the limitations of traditional stat tracking and the benefits of focusing on metrics that truly reflect your game, while examining the relationship between putting and overall scoring.

We discuss the power of keeping a “mental scorecard” and why it’s so important to have a clear intention for each shot. For golfers averaging scores in the high 80s, tracking meaningful metrics like greens in regulation and redefining what constitutes a successful tee shot can lead to performance optimization.

We dive into distance measurement next. Get Scott’s expert insights on using launch monitors with your specific golf ball to pinpoint true iron distances and eliminate outliers. Learn how PGA pros like Aaron Wise use this data to make strategic adjustments, leading to more consistent, reliable shots.

Finally, we’re exploring how speed training systems like the Rypstick and TheStack can take your swing speed to new heights!

Tori sits down with VISION54 co-founders Lynn Marriott and Pia Nilsson. They are internationally recognized and are the two highest ranked female instructors in America. The pair co-authored four bestselling books, including Every Shot Must Have a Purpose, which we dive into today.

Listen in as Lynn and Marriott discuss the philosophy behind VISION54 before diving into four powerful principles for playing better golf: 1) Think small, play big. 2) Anger makes us stupid. 3) Make practice real. 4) Make pressure your friend.

Key Takeaways

?      (5:19) “54” is a mindset and a process. Shooting 54 (trying to birdie every single hole in an 18-hole round) is a dream for any player. VISION54 comes down to keeping a mind open to possibilities. Professional golfers are distinguished primarily by a greater awareness of their strengths and gaps.

?      (14:12) Think small, play big. “Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.” Allow yourself to have big and compelling dreams. However, seeing those goals through to fruition starts with the tiniest, seemingly insignificant step. Know the factors that are in your control and those out of your control.

?      (21:42) Anger makes us stupid. Especially heightened emotions, anger included, blind us to perspective and coordination. During those all-too-familiar down moments in a game, the best thing to do is to let the negative emotions pass before making your next decision. Get the tension out of your body by sprinting to the next tee or doing a few jumping jacks. Celebrate all your good shots to raise your positivity all the while. In fact, emotionalizing your outcomes is one thing you can control on the course.

?      (28:18) Make practice real. “There is a big foundational mismatch,” says Pia, “between range culture and the golf course.” Many golfers tend to train the same movements using the same clubs in the same environment, committing them to muscle memory. But the reality is that golf is a game of variables, and no two games will ever require the exact same strategy. Make sure to do all three primary forms of practice regularly: maintenance practice, performance practice, and future practice.

?      (40:27) Make pressure your friend. Downplaying the intensity of the game might not actually be the best strategy. Instead, lean into the pressure, arousal, and adrenaline, if only to be incentivized to stay creative and on your toes.

I’m sitting down with fellow VISION54 alumna Jenny to discuss how her golf journey found new life during the pandemic, eventually leading her to connect with us at The Royal Dublin during an unforgettable trip to Ireland.

Jenny shares her transformative experience and key takeaways from the Three-Day VISION54 Human Skills Camp at Talking Stick Golf Club. “You’re not golfing to score,” Jenny says. “You’re golfing to feel.”

She tells us right off the bat that the camp delves deep into mindset over swing technique, with a focus on the process over outcome, and the importance of balance, tempo, and tension as complementary to technique.

We also talk about the intentional, well-structured schedule we went through at the camp, which gave us a great balance between drill time and interaction with our instructors and fellow students.

Ultimately, the Human Skills Camp was an amazing opportunity for all of us to rediscover the joy of golf, regardless of experience and handicap index.

From the nuanced design of the club's sole to the strategic use of different wedges for varied course conditions, we cover it all. We even highlight specialty wedges, comparing them to standard sets and discussing how they can be game-changers around the green.

Wrapping up, we talk about the importance of getting fitted and how to decide on the number and type of wedges to include in your set. We also touch on the ongoing improvements in groove technology and how the center of gravity affects ball flight and feel.

Blair talks to us about raising two young boys while managing the demanding travel schedule that comes with a dual career in media and sports. She shares stories from her formative years at Arizona State University, her professional experiences on the LPGA Symetra Tour (then known as the LPGA Futures Tour), and her current work with Golf Channel and Golf Pass. 

We’re also diving into the exclusive world of celebrity golf tournaments, and draw from our experiences regarding sharing personal life on social media. We weigh the balance between transparency and privacy as “influencers”, and how our choices as content creators affect audience engagement. 

We also talk about the thrill of participating in events like the Hilton Grand VacationsTournament of Champions in Orlando, where celebrities and LPGA Tour players alike get to bond within a unique and pressure-free setting. Blair then shares her experiences playing alongside top athletes like Nelly Korda and Brooke Henderson. 

Finally, Blair touches on her goals in the golf media industry, as well as practical tips on maintaining a healthy lifestyle as a high performer.

 Tori sits down with Adam Walicki and Christine Fero.

 Christine kicks off the conversation with an update on her journey to a single-digit handicap, which she began on June 30, 2022. You can follow her progress in real-time on her Instagram (www.instagram.com/practice_makes_9)!

 Tori, Adam, and Christine then dive into today’s topic: the importance of keeping stats, and how to use a round report card to track your game.

 Key Takeaways

?      (02:48) When working to improve your handicap, the number won’t mean as much as the confidence you develop on the course. When Christine began documenting her journey on Instagram over half a year ago, she had no idea how things would go. All that mattered was that she gave it her best shot. When she embraced that mindset, progress naturally followed.

?      (16:01) You should prioritize your stats even over your handicap. Stats are like a handicap: Everybody should have them. However, not only do your stats give you an overall picture of your progress as a golfer, but they also tell you the direction you need to go to keep improving.

?      (24:06) Take advantage of the round report card. You can use the round report card for any course and any round. Start by filling in the par in the top row, the score in the second row, then the fairway in the third. There is a row for yards in and clubs used, followed by greens in regulation (GIR). There is an optional row where you can note which direction you missed. Finally, there is a row for putts.

?      (35:21) For a handicap index of 10-19, great goals are 5-6 fairways, 8+ GIR, 34 or fewer putts, and 50+ feet in putts made.

?      (38:32) The latest version of the round report card includes rows for throwaways and opportunities. An opportunity is a birdie putt inside of about 18 feet down to 15 feet (the latter for more undulated greens). Throwaways is the most important category for any golfer striving for a single-digit handicap. Examples of throwaways (as listed on the new round report card) include: out-of-bounds, penalty shots, unplayable, sideways or backwards punch-out, bogie within 100 yards, 3 puts within 40 feet, putts missed within 3 feet.

Today I’m sitting with Debbie O'Connell to discuss the profound impact of state of mind on your golf game.

To Debbie, maintaining a positive mind is just as critical as a well-executed swing. She illustrates the power of mental fortitude through Amy Bockerstette's inspiring performance, explains how you can use positive self-talk and body language to boost your confidence on the course, and shares personal experiences around the transformative effects of gratitude and mindset on your golf game.

We also talk about the role of meditation, visualization, and self-hypnosis techniques in achieving peak performance. Reflecting on the wisdom of legends like Tiger Woods, we look at how taking responsibility for our game, rather than succumbing to external pressures, can empower us to excel under any condition.

About Debbie O’Connell:

Debbie is a seasoned media professional, successful entrepreneur, and accomplished business leader. She is the host of Audible’s series “Golf Positive.” She has also had multiple appearances on the Golf Channel and has hosted numerous golf-oriented radio shows as well as the television show “Par Fore the Course.” Debbie is the author of the bestselling book, “Golf Positive! Live Positive!” which offers insight and practical solutions to help one achieve their goals both on and off the golf course.

I’m sitting down with Brooke Riley, the assistant coach of the Stanford Women's Golf team, as she shares her experiences in the world of women’s amateur golf.

Listen in as Brooke talks about her unexpected start in the world of golf, sparked by a gift from her grandfather, and her transition from pro athlete to collegiate coach.

She delves into the Stanford team's meticulous preparation for the NCAA championship and the impact her high school coach's unwavering confidence had on her–a quality she now strives to instill in her own players.

Brooke reflects on the Augusta National, sharing her grandfather's legacy and how a chance encounter with a caddy sharing his name deepened her connection to the game.

We also discuss the ins-and-outs of amateur golf (and how it differs from professional golf), how golf manifests as a part of your identity as a woman, and the often-overlooked role of nutrition and well-being in a golfer's performance.

We start off the episode with Ashley and Carrie with a behind the scenes look at what’s going on at the Dallas Shootout!

I sit down with Justin Klemballa to discuss how we can elevate our current golf game without switching up the foundation we’ve honed over time.

Listen in as we explain why:

?      Getting the ball in play on a tee shot is crucial, even if you must sacrifice some distance.

?      Identifying six easy holes, six medium holes, and six hard holes can help make golf easier.

?      Your decisions on the course, including club selection and play strategy, are within your control.

?      Teeing off on the opposite side of where you want to hit the ball can open up the hole.

?      Pin Locations tend to make us play worse golf.

?      When in a fairway bunker, you have to have enough loft to get over the lip.

?      Practicing with a purpose and the one-third practice rule can help improve your game.

?      The importance of practicing three to four-foot putts cannot be overstated.

?      The “one step at a time” strategy can simultaneously simplify and maximize every second of training.

?      Even on a bad day, a good short game can save the day.

?      Understanding that the ball's flight is beyond our control can help reduce stress and improve performance.

?      Using a lower lofted club and letting the ball roll onto the green can help improve your shot when you're within a hundred yards of the hole.

T-Time After-Show with Shannon Mercer

We discuss…

?      Being willing to go a bit off-route, and maybe even get a bogey, to avoid penalties around particularly tough golf holes.

?      How often we avoid using our drivers.

?      The idea of getting within a hundred yards and looking at the course from then on as a par 3.

?      Dealing with fairway and downhill greenside bunker shots.

?      Our practice schedules.

Today I sit down with Justin Klemballa, Director of Instruction at Paradise Valley Country Club and Forest Highlands Golf Club; Tameka Fox Hartman, Past Board Member at the Arizona Women's Golf Association; and Alex Andersen, Founder of Babes Golf.

Tameka and Alex kick off the conversation catching us up on their golf game—along with Justin giving us a few priceless tips—before doing a deep dive into their five best tips that every beginner golfer needs to know!

Key Takeaways

• (19:00) It’s all about the short game. It’s true: Nobody started playing golf because they like to putt and chip. But working on your short game builds a strong foundation, over time, for your full swing.
• (25:57) Most people aren’t that good. As with starting anything new, it’s easy to be intimidated by those who have more experience than you. At the beginning, everyone looks like a PGA Tour player. On the other hand, in Tori’s words, “I can verify that balls are not going far and they’re going cock-eyed. You’re not the only one!” Justin concurs, saying, “No matter what level you are, there is some really bad golf to be played out there, even on the highest level.”
• (30:57) When in doubt, ask. No question is stupid in this game. Ask about the rules. Ask about etiquette. Ask about the dress code on certain courses. Ask where the range balls are. Ask where the first tee is. These are all normal questions, and everyone from your foursome to the pro shop staff to the bag room staff will be more than happy to answer any of them.
• (38:02) Nobody cares about your game. Rather, pace of play is number one. This is easier said than done, of course. But simply being aware about pace of play will help speed up your game. Avoid getting lost in conversation and focus on keeping up with the group in front of you.
• (44:41) Just pick it up. Nobody has been banned from the game for making a single mistake. Failing to adhere to the dress code the first time around is a lesson to keep in mind for next time. Be open to learning and making mistakes, and you will improve as a golfer.

Today, Kim Eaton and I are sitting down with Haley Bookholdt to talk about her burgeoning career as a golf influencer and Gen-Z ambassador for the sport.

Listen in as Haley talks about creating content for Adidas, her pro-Am experience at Bradenton Country Club, and how she keeps up her golf game alongside consistently producing content for her personal social media and those of the household brands she’s partnered with.

She also breaks down the chemistry behind nerves, what differentiates nervousness from anxiety, and how to manage those emotions before and during a game to avoid overwhelm.

Haley reflects on finding her unique edge as a golf content creator, her plans for pivoting into YouTube, and the ethical considerations behind teaching golf as an “influencer” in the sport.

About Haley Bookholdt:

A Gen-Z ambassador for women’s golf, Haley Bookholdt is a former Elon University athlete. She is the recipient of the 2017 USGA-AJGA Presidents' Leadership Award that is presented annually to one male and one female junior golfer who demonstrates leadership, character and community service.

Adam is back and we give the lowdown on what to expect at the 2024 Desert Classic, followed by a reflection of the tough lessons learned at the 2023 Arizona Four-Ball, Arizona Mid-AM, and Arizona Women’s AM.

Key Highlights

• Progress isn’t linear. Especially in the beginning, we tend to assume that our skills only get better with time. More often than not, they don’t. Accept that setbacks and distractions are just part of the journey, and aim for consistency over results!
• The personal stuff matters. Have realistic expectations. Life happens. Priorities shift. A year ago, You could become a plus handicapper after an intense, dedicated season of training, then lose that edge in a month just because of a life change that put golf lower on your list of priorities. After getting married, Ricky Fowler went from the top five down to the top 500. It happens to the best of the best.
• Follow the plan. The absolute best way to keep nerves at bay during a championship is to employ a steady stream of patience and stick to your plan. The more you familiarize yourself with your strategy and the course you’re applying it to—the more objectively you view the experience—the less intimidating the game becomes.
• The tournament isn’t over yet. Stay in the present. No matter how much you believe there’s no recovering, even if you think you’re stuck in last place, if the tournament isn’t over, there’s always an opportunity to recover. It doesn’t feel that way in the middle of the chaos on the golf course, but the second you decide to let it go and just play, you might be surprised where you end up on the leaderboard.
• Your most important shot is the one right in front of you. You can’t undo what you’ve already done. You can’t do your next three shots in advance. The most important shot in your golf career is the one you’re standing over right now.

 Today's show with Tori is set to be a treat for the audience as Bob and Christie Austin join her - both rules’ experts in the world of golf. Christie has an impressive background, having been the first female chair and governing board member of the USGA, where she chaired amateur status for two years. She also made history as the first woman chairman of the Rules of Golf Committee, a powerful committee responsible for writing the rules for the USGA and Royal and Ancient. Christie and Bob are members of the USGA rules committee and will discuss the biggest rules stories in golf and what we can learn from them.

 If you're a stickler for the rules, you won't want to miss out, so grab your clubs and tune in for an enlightening discussion on golf's biggest rules and stories.

Our guests discuss all things Handicap Index—what it is, how it’s calculated, why all golfers need one, and how to establish your own.

Key Takeaways

• (18:53) A handicap index is a number that represents your potential or demonstrated ability. It’s tremendously beneficial for golfers at any level to have one, whether for competition purposes or simply to ensure fairness on the course when playing with family or peers. Your index measures what you’re capable of shooting, and not necessarily what you end up shooting. It’s a “portable” number which you can take with you course to course, tee to tee.
•  (26:39) Establishing your handicap index is a simple process. Simply walk into a pro shop and ask for a handicap index to get entered into their system. Download your Golf Handicap Information Network (GHIN) ID along with the GHIN app, input your number, and you can start posting scores right away.
•  (36:43) You can get a handicap index after as few as three 18-hole scores. Ultimately though, a golfer should achieve 20 18-hole scores and, from there, look at the eight best performances. Your handicap index is based on the average of those eight best performances.
•  (38:02) If you don’t want to get your handicap from a pro shop, there is another easy option available. If you prefer not to be affiliated with a specific facility, you can go to a state golf association’s website or to the USGA and get a handicap directly online. You will have access to a handicap while not necessarily being affiliated with a particular club.

• (45:36) Getting your handicap index through the USGA can make your journey to improving your golf game so much more efficient, not to mention more fun. The USGA index is the gold standard that most golfers subscribe to. With the Arizona Golf Association specifically, the cost to maintain your index ranges from $45-$55 a year—and this small investment includes all of the association’s other membership benefits.

Kim Eaton and I are sitting down with Shelly Stouffer, the 2022 US Women's Senior Amateur. I barrage Kim and Shelly with a slew of questions on all things golf, including their best tips and strategies to prepare for golf tournaments, drawing on our experiences on tough courses such as Royal and Mylora.

Listen in as we discuss how mindset can determine your spot on the leaderboard, the value of TPI (Titleist Performance Institute) training, and the differences between different systems of scorekeeping. We also talk club selection and the importance of camaraderie out on the course.

We give our thoughts on resetting after a rough start to a round, and how pre-shot routines can keep you in the zone even amidst the chatter of fellow players. We also touch on what to keep in mind when playing with a spouse, and how to find the right balance between casual rounds and tournament play to give you the best long-term edge in your golf journey!

What a fun episode we have today with Evan Singer and Matt Cermak from The Par Train podcast joining us. We are filling you in on 5 ways you can be miserable on the golf course – this is a must-listen!

Key Highlights:

• Expecting what you do on the range to happen on the course. A warm-up is just that: a warm-up. Your best swing or putt is an outlier, not an average.
• Trying to shoot your best score. When was the last time you actually shot your best score when you “tried” to shoot your best score? Don’t reinvent a past victory. Instead, recommit to earn a new victory. That is, don’t look at the finish line. Focus instead on the process—the journey—that will result in a win.
• Trying to impress others. Since we’re only human, we can’t help but care what others think; but, when we let the opinions of others influence our performance on the golf course, we end up doing worse than if we just put aside that insecurity.
• Assume you won’t make mistakes. Just because your last round was perfect doesn’t mean this round will be perfect. Golf is a game of recovery.
• Don’t get too high, and don’t get too low. Take care not to rest on your laurels after every good shot and beat yourself up after every bad shot. If you get too high, you create unnecessary pressure on yourself come the next swing; and if you get too low, you gradually lose the confidence and motivation to go on.

Ever found yourself frozen over the golf ball, your mind buzzing with so many thoughts that your swing becomes stiff and your shot goes wayward? That’s what Jim McLean calls a “death move”, and there are 21 of these moves that can completely wreck your game if you don’t pay attention!

In the third of this 3-part series, Justin Klemballa, who was mentored by McLean himself, discusses the last 7 of these 21 death moves in golf.

We start off with our 15th death move: moving the head well ahead of the ball during the driver swing. This shift is identified as a significant obstacle to hitting the ball farther and making solid contact. Justin also talks about the mistake of letting your right foot spin-out in the downswing, resulting in what he calls a “fake finish”.

Another death move, casting from the top is attributed to a premature throw from the top of the swing. This is often caused by the golfer not realizing that the start of the downswing begins with the lower body.

The next two death moves both relate to “chicken winging” the club. Justin offers tips on minimizing this common tendency and on delofting the club at impact to improve accuracy and distance.

Then there’s hitting low hooks due to swinging too much inside out. Justin’s solution is simple, yet game-changing: Just let the club do its job rather than trying to force it up into the air.

Finally, Justin explains how to avoid letting the club go vertical in the follow-through, and teaches a powerful drill which involves imagining a pane of glass atop your shoulders as you swing.

Ever found yourself frozen over the golf ball, your mind buzzing with so many thoughts that your swing becomes stiff and your shot goes wayward? That’s what Jim McLean calls a “death move”, and there are 21 of these moves that can completely wreck your game if you don’t pay attention!

In the second of this 3-part series, Justin Klemballa, who was mentored by McLean himself, discusses the next 7 of these 21 death moves in golf.

We kick things off explaining how folding of the right elbow can result in a narrow backswing, and its opposite yet equally deadly mistake: dropping the club below the right elbow in the downswing. We talk about the importance of flexibility and mobility in golf, likening a good swing to holding a pizza pie.

We go on to discuss the club shaft tip-over in your swing, a death move that typically leads in pulls and slices, improving your balance to avoid sliding past the ball on the downswing, and how to stop yourself from putting your weight on your toes in the backswing.

Another common death move comes about as a result of constantly being told to “keep your head down on the ball” in the backswing: excessively dipping your body. Justin’s goofy drill to keep this from happening is to dangle a glove from your mouth, and try to swing while keeping the glove from moving.

Finally, Justin teaches us how to avoid regripping the club during the swing by imagining the club to be a paintbrush.

Michael Leonard from the Wicked Smart Podcast joins me once again to explain what he didn’t do to become a scratch golfer.

Referring to going scratch as “the six-pack of golf”, Michael says that there’s no faking the journey to hitting that magical zero handicap. It’s a rewarding place to be, and anyone who wants to get into the top 5% of players needs to have a sound strategy.

At the same time, there are commonly-accepted steps that one shouldn’t take to become a scratch golfer. Listen in as Michael dives deep into every one of these misconceptions, from the pitfalls of obsessing over mechanics, to routine and short swing misfires, to the silly mind games we play that do more harm than good out on the course.

And don’t miss the tail-end of our conversation, where Michael gives his thoughts on the difference between a scratch player and a true scratch player.

**LIVE FROM THE DESERT CLASSIC**

Today, Justin Klemballa, Kathy Hart Wood, Kim Eaton and I break down five keys to elevating your tournament game.

Listen in as we talk practical tips to sharpen your competitive edge, from tackling common golf fears, to the nuances of course management, to communicating with your partner, to pacing and adapting to bad shots and other unexpected moments in the middle of a game.

Building a robust mental state for golf is more art than science. Our conversation draws from both personal experience and time-tested expert advice to guide you in building the mental fortitude you need to walk away proud of your performance, no matter the outcome.

We discuss the delicate balance between confidence and arrogance, sharing tips on fostering a supportive atmosphere for both ourselves and our playing partners. And if you’re really looking for an edge in your tournament game, we've got you covered with mindfulness techniques that are as useful on the green as they are in other high-pressure scenarios.

Tori sits down with Susan Hess, Founder and Head Designer at Golftini, a luxury brand of fashionable and functional women's golf apparel.

 Listen in as Susan looks back on starting Golftini in 2004, motivated by her own annoyance that women’s golf wear at the time was either functional or fashionable, but never both!

 The first skort she ever designed, for herself, instantly caught the attention of the other women at her club, and for the next year she made and sold product to her peers with no intention to make a “real” business out of it. That was until she was invited to set up a booth at a PGA Tour a year later in 2005. She went home with a $70,000 check, and she never looked back.

 Susan shares how she learned the ropes of business ownership, gaining almost all of it from practical experience in the trenches day by day as the brand grew. And the name “Golftini”? She says it came to her almost on a whim amid the martini craze in mid-2000s New York.

 She wrote the name, along with the martini logo, down on a napkin, and it stuck!

 Key Moments

?      (32:03) Susan talks about her Spring and Fall lines and what to expect in upcoming seasons.

?      (39:13) Learn which skort lengths Golfini offers and what length to expect based on your size.

?      (41:44) What does Golftini offer tennis and pickleball players?

?      (44:14) Susan explains what makes Golftini products so high-quality and long-lasting.

?      (46:48) Why is women’s golf apparel so expensive, and why aren’t there larger sizes?

?      (54:07) Susan shares why there are currently no plans to go exclusively ecommerce.

?      (56:10) What would Susan tell her 2004 self, and to other moms?

Kim Eaton and I sit down with Michael Leonard, host of the Wicked Smart Golf Podcast, to get his take on tournament prep best practices. Kim kicks off the conversation filling us in on her own recent tournament experiences, including her win at the Colorado Senior Women’s Match Play Championship.

Asked how they prioritize their tournament schedule, Kim says that she always schedules her lineup, plane tickets, and hotel stays a year in advance, while Michael simply signs up for everything as soon as the application is open and has found his groove to the point where he plays around 65 tournament days a year. His top secret to energy management? “I try to get plenty of sleep!”

Practice-wise, Michael tries to limit swing changes a month out, focusing on practice rounds and “geeking out over Google Earth” to familiarize himself as best as he can with the course.

When prepping for a tournament, it’s important to figure out what yardages to play. Michael came prepared with his yardage book for Desert Highlands, which we poured over to create a tee box strategy for hole number six, including planning approach shots, getting an overview of the green, and preparing practice rounds based on the numbers gathered.

Finally, we talk pre-game routines. Kim’s rules are simple yet tried-and-true: get to the course an hour ahead with a bottle of Diet Coke and Slim Jims packed and ready. She does her practice shots, but doesn’t stick to any particular regiment. Michael, on the other hand, has a full pre-shot routine and doesn’t skimp on nutrition before a tournament, always bringing a cooler for protein supplements, water, and energy drinks to the course.

INTERVIEW 

I’m sitting down with Shelly Stouffer to talk about her journey to becoming the 2022 USGA Senior Amateur Champion.

Listen in as Shelly talks about her decision to transition back to amateur golf after going pro, her recent win in Alaska (where she played against previous guest Sue Wooster), and the hard-earned lessons she learned on the way. She shares what was on her mind when she walked into Troon Country Club as the defending champion.

We dive into the nitty-gritty of championship matches, Shelly's approach to practice rounds, and how she navigates the aftermath of a losing game. We also touch on the excitement and camaraderie in the senior amateur community and the importance of fostering those connections between players. She then talks about her plans for the offseason.

Finally, Shelly offers her advice to players who find tournaments intimidating and why it’s worth taking the plunge, the importance of working on your short game, and overcoming nerves.

Ever experienced a slump in your athletic performance that just happens to align with your menstrual cycle? Or maybe you've noticed a dip in your energy levels and productivity that seems to coincide with the onset of menopause? Today, I’m navigating this all-important topic with Dr. Erin Ellis, a naturopathic doctor with a wealth of knowledge about hormones and their impact on our wellbeing.

Listen in as Dr. Ellis unpacks the ebb and flow of a 28-day menstrual cycle, discussing what it takes to harmonize our athletic lifestyle with our hormonal rhythms. Dr. Ellis explains what you have to consider if a golf tournament falls on an inconvenient week in your menstrual cycle, as well as how to tweak your training regimen based on your menstrual phase to maximize performance.

We also discuss how hormonal fluctuations contribute to performance decline and how to alleviate common symptoms such as hot flashes and night sweats with a combination of sleep, supplementation and—potentially for some women—hormone replacement therapy.

Dr. Ellis encourages women to listen to their body and challenge the all-too-common “everything is normal” narrative. From the benefits of cold plunges, infrared therapy, saunas, and curating your environment, Dr. Ellis shares a trove of wisdom that all women can use to create a holistic approach to their health.

About Dr. Erin Ellis:

Dr. Erin Ellis is a naturopathic doctor based in Gilbert, AZ. She has found her passion helping women fix crappy periods, helping with hormone imbalances, and addressing why you are constantly running on empty by getting to the root cause so you can be your best version. Dr. Ellis is dedicated to spreading the modalities of Naturopathic Medicine to the East Valley in January 2020 where she founded Hope Natural Health.

Tori sits down with friends, Gary and Shannon Shaw, and Marci DuBois.

Tori, Shannon, and Marci chat about their recent experience at the 2022 Women's Match Play Championship at Aguila Golf Course in Phoenix.

Key Takeaways

?      (19:55) Get used to playing different yardages. It's all-too-common to want to beat yourself up on the course when things aren’t going your way. We’ve all been there, and most players aren’t as “good” as you might think. Once you commit to playing with that mindset, one practical way to fill your gaps as a golfer is to expose yourself to different yardages. Growth really begins once you’re past the initial pain of trying something new.

?      (22:21) Start playing tournaments outside your country club. Similarly, playing in tournaments you are unfamiliar with—in an environment and among people you’re unfamiliar with, doing reps under pressure—will do wonders for you as a golfer.

?      (45:58) There’s always an opportunity to recover during match plays. “Just this year,” says Tori, “I’ve had two experiences where I had three down going into the back nine. I’d say, ‘Okay, I just want to get this over with. I just want to lose and go home.’ But I’ve now had two experiences at match play championships where I was down three going into the back nine, and have actually gone back to win it. It’s totally possible.”

Tori sits down with Beth Yahara, a member of the Titleist Golf Ball Fitting Team.

 Listen in as Beth shares how any player, whether beginner or expert, can find the right ball for them. She smashes several common golf ball myths, and unpacks the three primary factors to keep in mind when choosing a ball: flight, feel, and spin.

 Key Moments

?      (03:01) Swing speed doesn’t matter. Regardless of your gender, handicap, and all other factors, swing speed is not the most important factor in your game.

?      (07:35) The cover of the golf ball is its most important component. It’s almost always unintentional, but it will throw off a lot of players. The cover is the brakes of the golf ball—what helps it stop. The softer the cover material, the better it interacts with the grooves of the ball.

?      (10:26) There are two types of stopping power. The “cover” takes care of shots going around 50 yards out. Fuller golf swings—around 150 yards coming into the green—come from the “core”, the engine of the golf ball. The Pro V1, Pro V1x, and AVX golf balls will give you your best short game control. The flagship differences between the three balls are flight, feel, and spin.

?      (15:52) You can identify the year of a Titleist golf ball by reading its sidestamp. The flight, feel, and spin of a Pro V1 from 2013 is different from one from 2018. This is why it’s so important to be fit for a golf ball to find one that suits your game.

?      (27:19) Pro V1, Pro V1x, and AVX balls come in optic yellow. There is a “sheen” to these balls that allow sunlight to reflect off of them while airborne, making them easier to see.

?      (36:28) Even beginners can benefit from playing a golf ball they were fitted for. This is for the same reason getting fit for clubs early on can be extremely beneficial. Simply, it allows you to get better, quicker.

?      (43:59) The higher the elevation, the farther the ball goes. Other factors that influence the ball include humidity and weather. However, it’s important to play with the same golf ball no matter the weather, and to store them in a controlled environment regardless of season.

?      (46:40) The feel of the golf ball is influenced by the compression of the core. Cores are all solid rubber. A low-compression golf ball, such as 60 compression, will feel softer than 110 compression. One is not better than the other. As with weather and temperature, performance all depends on the player. This is why players must practice with ...

Justin Klemballa and I sit down with 8-time Canadian long drive champion Lisa Longball. Together, we unpack the three primary mistakes stopping women from gaining more distance in their golf swing and how to fix them!

We also discuss Lisa's personal training schedule, why muscle memory is way more important than muscular strength, and the vital role of rest in achieving peak performance. We also explore the significance of tempo and having a mental routine alongside a physical one.

Lisa shares her insightful personal experiences as a world-class athlete, including her triumph of hitting the longest drive in women's golf history, and what she did to gain the highest swing speed she's ever achieved.

3 Reasons You Lack Distance in Your Swing (and What to Do Instead)
(06:47) Reason 1: You’re an arms lifter. Because women are naturally more flexible than men, it’s easy to think you’re turning when you’re really just lifting your arms. Lisa recommends looking at your body in two parts: the upper body and the lower body. During the backswing, start with your lead shoulder, forcing you to turn your chest turning away from the ball. On the other hand, during the downswing, maximize the coil and torque you’ve built up by leading with your lower body.

(09:25) Reason 2: Your golf swing sequence is flawed or lacking. “Turn the shirt” on the backswing, freeze, then “turn the skirt” on the downswing. The best way to make this sequence second nature is by practicing dissociation drills, as well as training to move your weight to the instep of the back foot when transitioning from the backswing to the downswing.

(18:43) Reason 3: You don’t finish the golf swing. Most golfers put all their focus on hitting the ball, so that once they make contact, they begin to decelerate and fail to maximize distance as a result. Your clubhead should be at its fastest not on the ball, but three feet past the ball. Always keep this in mind: Hit through the ball, not to the ball.

About the Guest:

Lisa Longball is an 8-time Canadian long drive national champion and has finished as high as 2nd in the world. She is an LDA Tour champion and Callaway Golf sponsored athlete. In addition to her competitive career, Lisa is a Golf Journalist for several publications including Inside Golf Magazine and has had her own column in Golf Digest Canada. Lisa uses her vast experience as a World Class athlete to be a successful keynote Peak Performance Speaker at conferences and conventions, is a Golf Entertainer for many corporate/charity golf tournaments across North America including PGA Tour and Champions Tour events and runs her own Golf School for Women both in Canada and the United States.

Tori sits down with Tara Bateman, Kim Eaton, and Pat Kuntz.

 With their experience at the Desert Classic fresh on their minds, Tori and her guests dive into the top five rules every player needs to keep in mind when playing in a tournament.

 Key Takeaways

?      (02:52) Know the difference between a red line and a yellow line. The red line is a lateral penalty area, in which there is always an option to play the ball. The rules have recently changed so that a player can now ground their club and pick up almost anything in the penalty area. A yellow penalty area may still be playable, such as across water. But it’s likely that the player will have to take a penalty of one stroke if the ball is in the water.

?      (11:53) Drop the ball from the cart path, considered a free relief. Other examples of free relief include ground under repair, casual water, embedded ball, animal hole, and a cable box within your swing path.

?      (18:14) When your ball moves on the putting green after marking it, the ball’s official place is still on that mark. Once you’ve marked it, you have to replace it, even if the ball enters the hole.

?      (22:10) When a ball is non-playable (ex. in a bush), a player has three options. 1) Take two club lengths from the ball in any direction; 2) Take the ball on the line to the flag stick and go back as far as needed; 3) Replay the shot.

?      (25:57) When a ball is OB (out-of-bounds) or lost, the only option is to retee it. If you’re not sure that the ball is lost, always play a provisional before going forward. That’s because, once you go forward, you can no longer go back to hit a provisional.

Tori sits down with golf instructor Milo Lines and golf buddy, Kareen Larson.

 Having just experienced two days at Milo’s Golf School, Tori and Kareen share their highs and lows alongside their key takeaways from the program!

 Key Takeaways

?      (18:58) Milo’s golf school is for anyone who wants to see lasting changes in their golf game. Over the course of two days, you will get a chance to see where and how you fail, and how to then fill those gaps. Milo wants his students to walk away “with a fairly solid roadmap of where they’re trying to go and how they’re trying to get there.”

?      (26:08) Milo’s best lessons are half-day immersions. This time frame allows you to get the “golf school experience”. One-on-one coaching also helps you uncover your points of failure, learn why you’re failing, and put a plan in place to address those challenges.

?      (30:59) Focus on getting your driving to an A+ level. “You can’t play golf if you can’t drive,” says Milo. “I’ve never met a person who is a really good driver, who is not already a single digit or better. [...] If you’re long and straight, I guarantee you’re a low handicapper.”

?      (39:08) Find an instructor who speaks your language. Great credentials is one thing; the ability to translate that knowledge for you as an individual is another. The best instructor for you is someone who jives with your personality and understands and appreciates your learning style.

?      (41:24) Know your goal before your first lesson. Milo’s most productive lessons come when the student knows exactly what he or she wants out of their time together.

Today, Al and I are sitting down with Christie and Suzanne, two amazing women (and golfers) who reflect on their journey in the world of golf just five to eight years in.

Listen in as they share what led them to the sport and the unique challenges of getting started without the boundless energy of youth on your side, as well as their thoughts on the importance of a supportive community and guidance from seasoned players as they transitioned from 9 to 18 holes.

We talk about the importance of taking lessons regularly during the off-season with a single coach that you trust. We also give our thoughts on accepting regression in our game and how to keep it from impacting our self-worth, and a discussion on handling nerves and self-doubt when playing in tournaments.

Finally, our guests share what golf has brought them so far that they never expected, and what excites them about continuing to grow and explore this “second chapter” in their lives.

Michael Leonard from the Wicked Smart Podcast joins me once again to explain what he didn’t do to become a scratch golfer.

Referring to going scratch as “the six-pack of golf”, Michael says that there’s no faking the journey to hitting that magical zero handicap. It’s a rewarding place to be, and anyone who wants to get into the top 5% of players needs to have a sound strategy.

At the same time, there are commonly-accepted steps that one shouldn’t take to become a scratch golfer. Listen in as Michael dives deep into every one of these misconceptions, from the pitfalls of obsessing over mechanics, to routine and short swing misfires, to the silly mind games we play that do more harm than good out on the course.

And don’t miss the tail-end of our conversation, where Michael gives his thoughts on the difference between a scratch player and a true scratch player.

About Michael Leonard:

Michael Leonard is a professional writer who has been featured in Lifehacker, Addicted2Success, Rockstar Finance, Early to Rise, Thrive Global and more. In 2022, he launched the Wicked Smart Golf podcast and published the Wicked Smart Golf Book. In 2023, he launched Wicked Smart Golf Academy using his mental golf coaching and tournament knowledge to help golfers play better without swing changes. He also launched AZ Golf Wizard the same year to help locals and out-of-towners navigate AZ golf.

Tori sits down with Tara Bateman and Michael Martin to get an inside look at being a country club and professional caddie.

After a quick update on their golf game and a look back on their careers, Tara and Michael do a deep dive into the role of a caddie, how they should ideally interact with their players, what to keep (and keep out) of the bag, how they get paid, and best practices for tipping.

Key Takeaways

?      (18:32) A forecaddie’s job is to go ahead of golfers to find where balls land, track shots, and discuss strategy for upcoming shots and putts. The group of four rides in a cart while the forecaddie stays one shot ahead on the tee to aid each one. Beware not to “overcaddie”, especially if your player prefers to trust their instincts. The best forecaddies focus on raising the player’s confidence, while respecting pace of play by stepping in to offer advice only when asked.

?      (25:41) When you’re playing golf, play fast and have fun. Even the best players go through that frustrating period halfway through a game where their strategy has fallen apart. Don’t worry about having your golf game judged by your caddie because the reality is that golf is a humbling sport!

?      (32:41) If you’re a newer golfer, “you’re not that good to get that mad”! Get clear on the fundamentals and focus your training around your gaps. Know the typical percentages so that you have perspective on the average and be able to lower your expectations. For example, if you have a putt over 15 feet, you are already in the upper percentile of players in that skill.

?      (34:58) If you want to be sure about how to pay your caddy, just go to the pro shop and inquire. Ask whether you’re paying base-plus-tip or tipping only, and also what’s a good amount to tip. There is no minimum, but anywhere from $20 to $100 is typical.

Today, I’m sitting down with MaryJo McCloskey—known in the golf world as Coach MJ—who runs through six topics that will help you elevate your golf performance, all based on her book “When Girls Win”.

Coach MJ’s writing journey began in the throes of the COVID-19 pandemic and was fueled by a compelling desire to empower others with the wisdom gleaned from over two decades of coaching.

We talk about the underrated superpower known as “self-awareness”, why it always pays to embrace pressure out on the course, must-knows regarding one’s short game, and the importance of team spirit within this individual sport. Get inspired by stories of golfers breaking records with only indoor practice and the pivotal role of social media in shaping athletes' self-perception.

Finally, we discuss the role of the subconscious mind in sports performance and the art of honing one's mental game, including a short lesson that illustrates the power of positive mantras.

About MaryJo McCloskey:

MaryJo McCloskey is a six-time NCAA Division-III West Region Coach of the Year and a nine-time Northwest Conference Coach of the Year. In 2006, she launched the first George Fox University Women's Golf Program and since then has led the team to prestige as one of the most dominant in the country with seven NCAA trophies including winning a National Championship and 11 consecutive top-10 finishes on the National Stage. Her passion is to help student-athletes grow stronger and realize that anything is possible with a positive mindset, strong work ethic, and a passionate desire to learn.

I’m sitting down with Lindsay Knowlton, the powerhouse behind Iron Lady Golf, to learn about her journey of success from college athletics to entrepreneurship.

Listen in as Lindsay goes down memory lane, reflecting on the spark of an idea that came to her from a simple lunch and learn session, which eventually blossomed into a full-fledged community. Today, Iron Lady Golf offers women golf retreats, leagues, and a powerful sense of belonging in the male-dominated world of golf.

Lindsay talks about how her coaching philosophy evolved along with her conscious choice to step back from competitive golf, making way for a stronger focus on fostering a nurturing environment for women golfers. 

We also discuss the importance of structured practice, specifically in refining one's short game with the innovative Short Game 100 program. Plus, get a sneak peek into the logistics of planning international business trips amidst personal milestones like expecting a baby, the art of delegation, and tackling tough business conversations.

About Lindsay Knowlton:

Lindsay Knowlton is a PGA of Canada Class A Professional, Taylormade Golf Advisory Board Member, and Ontario Golf Association Ambassador with a long history in golf. After years of competitive golf, Lindsay moved into the corporate workforce realizing that she wanted to help more women say "yes” to the golf invitations they were getting (for work, to play with family, friends etc). She started Iron Lady Golf to help empower women and build their confidence out on the golf course. To date, Iron Lady Golf has taught over 20,000 women how to play golf.

To mark our 100th episode, I'm joined by Justin, Alex, and Tameka to look back on our golf journeys over the past year and share the goals we aim to achieve in the next twelve months.

After updating each other on our golf game, Alex discusses the current legal challenges that women’s golf groups and events are facing in California, including her own Babes Golf. She talks about how she’s continuing to push for inclusive spaces for women in the sport, and how the golf community at large is rallying together to support those affected by this issue.

We then get into today’s topic: golf beliefs we intend to drop, and the beliefs and goals we’ve set for ourselves going into 2024. From conquering the fear of approaching that first tee to navigating self-doubt around short putts, our guests illustrate through their personal experiences how mastering mindset is as significant, if not more so, as perfecting your technique.

Today I sit down with Abby Liebenthal, Founder and President of Fore the Ladies, a nonprofit on a mission to introduce more women to the game of golf.

 Abby shares her experience hosting 70 clinics and other events under the Fore the Ladies banner every year, particularly the third annual The Lily Golf Getaway held at Pinehurst Resort.

 She also discusses her Intro to Golf series, breaking down what participants can expect out of the event from start to finish. Finally, Abby explains how players at different levels of skill can choose the right event they need to take their golf game to the next stage.

 Key Highlights

·      The lineup of golf events to be hosted in 2023 by Fore the Ladies total 70 so far! These range from golf clinics to Happy Hour events.

·      Abby shares why she’s recently decided to host more events on actual golf courses rather than in indoor facilities, explaining that playing the game out on the course makes newer players more likely to play for the long haul.

·      Fore the Ladies is planning international events, starting with Scotland. Abby shares whats in the pipeline for 2024, including their itinerary for Ireland!

·      Every opportunity that comes our way is exciting, but with each new opportunity we take on, we need to dedicate a chunk of our day to it. Abby reminds us to never forget that self-care is just as important to our success as the time and energy we put in to achieve that success.

I’m sitting down with Bo Watson and Shannon Shuskey, whose book In the Zone Secrets unlocks the profound connection between the mind and athletic performance.

Listen in as we explore the mental strategies and techniques that can take your golf game to the next level, even when you’re off the green. From the concept of “caveman golf” to harnessing the power of mental imagery and entering the “zone,” Bo and Shannon prove that mastering your mind might just be that missing link between where you are now and where you want to be.

Bo and Shannon also offer practical advice on how busy players can optimize their game in as little as 30 minutes a day, leveraging the creativity of the right brain for optimal performance. They talk about how mental imagery not only assists in skill improvement but also serves as a tool for managing tournament anxiety.

About In the Zone Mental Training:

In The Zone Mental Training is the world's first mental program backed by science that helps athletes get into the zone at a flip of a switch. Shannon Shuskey’s accidental discovery of these training principles in the 90s led him to go from a struggling skater to becoming a National Champion and Record Holder. When Bo Watson met with Shannon in the Summer of 2018 and learned the reason behind the success of his system, he wanted to see if it could work for golf too. To test it, he went out and played a total of 8 rounds in 2018 cold turkey (no practice between). The result was 6 out of the 8 rounds were under par and the last round was 9 holes where he shot 4 under with 3 lip out birdies.

I’m sitting down with Gabi Powel to discuss her journey to becoming a professional long driver. Listen in as she traces her athletic roots from competitive sports in her school years, to playing Division One golf, to finishing second in her very first Long Drive Tour in 2022.

We talk about the ins and outs of a Long Drive event, from the competition format, to the decisions that go into choosing a driver of the right length for the competitor, to the secret to getting the most drive distance out of your swing as possible.

Finally, Gabi discusses her other exciting pursuits, from a golf reality show currently in the pipeline to her work as co-founder of Forward Tees Foundation. This mentorship program offers one-on-one support, allowing young women to learn directly from those who have experienced success in the world of college golf.

Tune in as I continue my conversation with Dr. Bobbi Lancaster, a family physician, champion golfer, and transgender advocate, who joins us alongside Sasha Graham, host of the "Sports Will Save Us All" podcast.

Listen in as we explore Bobbi's struggles with job loss and financial instability after coming out as transgender. Discover how golf became her refuge and opened up a new path, ultimately leading to a spot on the Cactus Tour.

Bobbi gives her thoughts on the national media attention she garnered through the years thanks to her advocacy and the gradually changing tide of acceptance for transgender athletes in sports.

Bobbi shares her experiences speaking at prestigious universities, serving on the national board of the Human Rights Campaign, and the power of storytelling in transforming lives. Inspired by Elie Wiesel’s legacy, Bobbi touches on the power of speaking out against injustice and the power of a single individual to enact change.

From humorous anecdotes on the golf course to insights into navigating the LPGA's transgender policy, my conversation with Bobbi sheds light on the evolving landscape of inclusion in professional sports.

About Bobbi Lancaster:

Bobbi Lancaster is a family physician, champion golfer, author, human rights advocate and motivational speaker. She is also a transgender woman and underwent gender reassignment surgery in 2010. She attempted to qualify for the LPGA Tour in 2013 and her efforts garnered international media attention. Bobbi’s efforts promoting awareness of transgender issues caught the attention of the Human Rights Campaign. She was elected to their national Board of Directors in 2016 and has worked tirelessly on their behalf, lobbying on Capitol Hill and at the Arizona State Capitol.

Tori sits down with Lou Stagner, an Arccos Golf Data Insights Lead, Co-Host of the “Hack It Out Golf” podcast and one of the leading data research analysts on The PGA TOUR.

Listen in as Lou explains what good golf looks like, not just on the expert level but also for those with a handicap inching towards average, whether 10 or 20.

Key Takeaways

• (13:08) Hitting fairways is not all that important. In fact, according to Arccos data, fairways hit is roughly the same no matter the skill level. For women, those numbers are roughly between 50% and 54%. The real difference-maker, off the tee, is 1) keeping the ball in play and 2) getting longer, as there is a very strong relationship between your handicap and how far you hit the ball. The biggest problem in golf regarding distance for women is not enough shorter tees. If you have an average distance with a driver of 175 yards, play a course between 4400 and 4600 yards.
• (19:45) If you really want to understand your performance, focus on strokes gained. Aside from this, look at how many greens in regulation (GIR) you’re hitting. There is a very strong relationship between your skill level and how many greens you hit.
• (28:02) Fairways hit is not that important. Keeping the ball in play is important. When it comes to greens hit, scratch players are typically around 11, while 10-15 handicaps are around 5. Hitting more greens is absolutely critical, but like tee shots, you have to limit penalty strikes. Avoid bunkers as well. When there is a fairway bunker in play for you off the tee, you are typically better shifting away from that fairway bunker. Sometimes, the most appropriate target is in the rough. Do your best to avoid bunkers, water hazards, and the out-of-bounds.
• (35:37) It’s important to set the right expectations when it comes to wedge shots. Pick a specific target for every single shot you take, do what you can to land the ball on that target, then accept that the larger your handicap, the higher the area you’ll actually hit. Even the greatest players on the planet hit inside of a big zone with a wedge in their hands, and the gap widens the farther they are from the hole.
• (47:59) You will only beat your handicap about 20% of the time. If you played a round of golf and had net par, your score would be in the top 20% of all your scores. Regardless, don’t get too focused on outcomes. Net par is a good goal, but consider it after the fact rather than letting the pressure of hitting a number affect your game.
• (49:24) 10-handicappers average two putts from about 16 feet, which is a number everyone should strive for and is attainable through enough speed control training. As you get closer to the hole, you want to get every single putt past it. For a 10-handicapper, that distance is around 8 feet. The farther you are from the hole, the bigger percentage of putts you want to leave short, in order to get the shortest second shot possible.

Today, I’m sitting down with Dr. Audra Lance, a leading sports and non-surgical injury specialist, who gives her best strategies on reducing the risk of injury or recovering from one.

 Listen in as Dr. Audra shares her valuable insights into understanding the root cause of common sports injuries such as tennis elbow, rather than simply stifling the pain with a temporary band-aid solution.

 We cover the fundamental role of breathing and thoracic spine mobility for golfers, as well as how loading the joints can prevent bone and muscle deterioration, and how modifying yoga poses can aid in injury prevention and recovery.

 Key Highlights

·      Recovering from an inflamed elbow from repeated golf swings, without taking time away from playing the sport, is possible with a little planning. For example, instead of playing 18 holes, go to the driving range and do 15 minutes of swing practice. Holistic, deliberate movement, combined with purposeful breathing, can serve as your “tylenol”, helping you heal from your injury faster.

·      The importance of breathing when it comes to preventing and treating lower back pain is essential. Nasal breathing can help access your diaphragm and pelvic floor, not only to help release tension almost immediately, but to help you perform better out on the golf course!

·      We explore how strength training and yoga can help prevent and treat neck pain, headaches, jaw pain, and shoulder blade pain. We emphasize the importance of loading the joints to prevent bone and muscle deterioration, and how modifications to yoga poses can help with injury prevention and recovery.

·      We look at how examining the feet can help diagnose and treat an injury, and how adding different components of movement to your routine can help maintain health and prevent pain.

Tori sits down with LPGA touring pro Brianna Do, LPGA caddy Tara Bateman, and Tara’s wife Brandi.

Listen in as Brianna reflects on her first professional event, the 2012 U.S. Women's Open, including her experience at Q School as well as the rewards of playing on the Epson Tour as a “stepping stone” to the LPGA Tour. She then shares how she navigated her last 7 years on the LPGA Tour.

Brianna also gives her thoughts on finding the right caddy, the importance of getting fitted early, getting sponsors, and how playing in a Pro-Am can make or break your professional career.

Key Takeaways

?      (8:31) Having experience playing on the Epson is a great stepping stone to the LPGA Tour. For Brianna, the Epson Tour honed her pace of play while allowing her to make connections with fellow professional women golfers.

?      (12:32) While on conditional status, you can bounce back and forth before the first reshuffle before settling on a tour to stick with. Chase the Monday qualifiers before the first reshuffle. If you don’t make the cut on the LPGA after the first reshuffle, pick one tour to stick with. Play to win at every stage if your goal is to play on the LPGA.

?      (18:19) Not every shot needs to be perfect, and you don’t need to do what everyone else is doing. Listen to your body. You may not need to push yourself to do 18-hole practice rounds on the regular just because you see all the other pros doing them. Also, rather than focusing on the perfect shot, consider the perfect miss instead.

?      (28:32) Minimalism and consistency are key to improving your golf game. You don’t want to spend time wondering whether it’s your club, your swing, or both that are holding you back. Get fitted as early as you can so that you have about a year’s roadmap for skills growth.

?      (41:16) Participating in a Pro-Am Tour may sometimes feel like a necessary evil, but it’s a long-term play. This is for a variety of reasons, including the opportunity to make lasting connections in the world of professional golf. People will remember your Pro-Am rounds.

Being a part of the right club is about more than just the game, it's about community, convenience, and cost too. As someone who's been a member of three country clubs in the past, I walk you through the seven key factors to consider such as the club's location, initial fees, monthly costs, and those sneaky food and beverage minimums.

I explain how you can ensure the golf course you choose keeps you challenged and engrossed. I also talk dress codes, guest rules, and how you can become part of golf communities like the Women's Golf Association. Then there's also the question of what to actually look for in a golf club. From practice facilities to lesson options, member pricing to kid restrictions, I break it all down!

Finally, I give my thoughts on playing golf as a parent. Being a golf enthusiast while raising kids comes with its own challenges. We delve into what to consider when joining a country club with kids, from age-appropriate activities and location conveniences, to dining restrictions and daycare costs.

Could a mere 10 yards make all the difference in your golf game? Join us for the first of our three-part distance series as Lou Stagner and I discuss how gaining distance leads to lower scores! Drawing from 600 shots worth of data from the Arccos database, we break down real-world examples and insights showing the benefits of speed training and fitness programs aimed at boosting mobility and strength, giving you practical steps to add those vital extra yards.

Imagine improving your strokes gained off the tee simply by increasing your driving distance by 5% year over year. 94% of golfers have done just that, and we're here to bust the myth that more distance means fewer fairways hit. With data from PGA Tour players since 1983, we discuss how speed training can actually enhance your swing mechanics, leading to straighter and more efficient shots. Our conversation shifts the focus from accuracy to the importance of avoiding penalties, to take your course management to the next level!

Finally, Lou and I are talking custom-fitting and how homing in on your ideal club fit can improve your performance by leagues. From adjusting driver shafts to tweaking grip sizes, discover how minor changes can yield major improvements.

Pushing past my comfort zone in golf has always been a challenge, but with the help of the ever-amazing Colorado Hall of Famer Kim Eaton, I went on a journey that led me all the way to the USGA Mid-Am.

Today, Kim and I are reflecting on how entering some of those more intimidating tournaments can actually elevate your game. I talk about my commitment to compete in the Arizona State Match Play Tournament despite initial hesitations. One thing stays pretty consistent: The friends we make and the personal insecurities we overcome at these events always end up being as rewarding as the game itself.

Kim had a packed summer. From one tournament after another–from the Senior Match Play in Colorado to an unforgettable win at the state Mid-Am–Kim gives us an insightful blow-by-blow account of her prep work all through to the end of each match.

Finally, we talk about the ins and outs of organizing large golf events, and weigh the pros and cons of various locations to create the most memorable experience possible for all participants!

If there’s anything to take away from this episode, it’s the literal game-changing power of having a mentor at your side. And that if you don’t have one yet, it’s time to put yourself out there and feel the pressure of tournament play!

What a fun episode we have today with Evan Singer and Matt Cermak from The Par Train podcast joining us. We are filling you in on 5 ways you can be miserable on the golf course – this is a must listen!

Key Hightlights:

• Expecting what you do on the range to happen on the course. A warm-up is just that: a warm-up. Your best swing or putt is an outlier, not an average.
• Trying to shoot your best score. When was the last time you actually shot your best score when you “tried” to shoot your best score? Don’t reinvent a past victory. Instead, recommit to earn a new victory. That is, don’t look at the finish line. Focus instead on the process—the journey—that will result in a win.
• Trying to impress others. Since we’re only human, we can’t help but care what others think; but, when we let the opinions of others influence our performance on the golf course, we end up doing worse than if we just put aside that insecurity.
• Assume you won’t make mistakes. Just because your last round was perfect doesn’t mean this round will be perfect. Golf is a game of recovery.
• Don’t get too high, and don’t get too low. Take care not to rest on your laurels after every good shot and beat yourself up after every bad shot. If you get too high, you create unnecessary pressure on yourself come the next swing; and if you get too low, you gradually lose the confidence and motivation to go on.

I’m sitting down with Mike Booker, author of The Tournament Golfer’s Playbook, to discuss the differences between the “golfer-who-plays-tournaments” and the “tournament golfer”.

Compared to recreational rounds, tournaments can get lonely, not to mention become a pressure cooker of expectations for the tournament player.

However, Mike says that playing tournaments is a vital step to improving your golf game, no matter your level. While too much pressure can become debilitating, the right amount of it can reveal your strengths and weaknesses in ways recreational golf never can.

When it comes to separating the true tournament golfer from the golfer who happens to play tournaments, Mike explains that the tournament professional is decisive, process-oriented, and looks at the big picture; while the dabbler is dithering, results-oriented, and agonizes over every shot and putt.

As he wonderfully puts it: “The tournament golfer doesn’t live in a world of good breaks and bad breaks. They don’t have any excuses. They take responsibility for every shot they hit, no matter what the outcome is. They know what they can control and what they can’t control.

Tori sits down with Betsy Kelly and Leigh Klasse to do a deep dive into all things women’s professional golf.

Listen in as our guests talk about the experience of entering their very first USGA championship, as well as Leigh’s biggest lessons learned after over 60 tournaments and her thoughts on the upcoming USGA tournament on their home turf at Troon North Golf Club.

Betsy breaks down the ins-and-outs of Q-School and the expensive reality of traveling for tournaments. Money aside, she discusses what it takes to prepare physically and mentally for tour status with the LPGA.

Key Takeaways

?      (13:51) There are three stages to go through in the LPGA Qualifying School (Q-School): Become one of the top 100 out of 300 female applicants, compete for full Epson Tour status (whittling further down to the top 45) and, finally, complete Q-Series to get your LPGA card.

?      (26:06) You don’t make money unless you’re in the top 50 in the world. Women in the LPGA are struggling due to the high cost of participation. Every tournament which involves travel will set you back $2500-$3000 to enter, and there is no guarantee you’ll make that back, even if you’re one of the top golfers in the country. The most savvy players build a support network to have a place to stay in different states. That said, some USGA tournaments do offer the option to stay with a host family. Definitely take advantage of this option if available.

?      (37:42) The LPGA requires you to invest in your own caddy. This is yet another big expense that most players overlook until the last moment.

?      (52:16) There are two types of professional golfers: Those with “tour” status and those who teach professionally for a living.

Tori sits down with Babes Golf Founder Alex Andersen, and Dobson Ranch Golf Course instructor Natalie Farahani.

 Listen in as Alex and Natalie join us to answer listener questions and give their best tips on playing and planning golf events on a budget, and how to deal with feeling intimidated as a female golfer when entering this new world!

 Key Takeaways

?      (8:38) Finding Clubs on a Budget as a Beginner: You don’t need the latest and greatest toys to grow as a player. Sporting goods stores such as Golf Mart in San Diego and 2nd Swing in Arizona can offer you a decent beginner or used set of clubs. You can get by just fine with a wedge, a 7, an 8, and a driver. And while it may not be the most exciting activity, just practicing your putting on a regular basis makes a big difference to your golf game in the long run.

?      (16:02) Lessons on a Budget. A coach doesn’t need to have trained a bunch of pros to be considered high-quality. If you’re on a budget, the best kind of coach is one who you feel comfortable around. More coaches are offering the first lesson for free. Shop around and find the right match, because trust and relatability goes a long way.

?      (21:25) Rounds and Courses on a Budget: Consider joining one of the smaller clubs in your area. They may not have the greatest views, but it isn’t difficult to find reasonable deals relative to what you’ll find at the more prestigious courses. In Arizona, you can get city passes at Encanto 18, Cave Creek, Aguila, Palo Verde, which give you discounts on green fees.

?      (28:16) Hosting Events on a Budget: A growing number of golf courses are eager to see more women on the green. Connecting with these clubs and sharing your vision-mission with them can do wonders when it comes to keeping event costs down.

?      (29:52) Plan early morning or early evening lessons. Most people have to navigate busy schedules to fit golf into their lives. Many golf enthusiasts are moms with full-time jobs. Try looking for coaches that do night training and driving ranges that are open late. Also note that a lot of courses offer junior golf programs.

?      (35:32) In a man’s world, knowing your golf game is vital. It can be really intimidating as a first-timer to begin your golf journey. It’s natural, and everyone goes through it. The best thing you can do is get familiar with the process and your own golf game as soon as possible. When you’re looking at a country club, ask the women there how the culture is before making a decision.

I’m sitting down with Alix and Christie who look back on their very first Masters experience at The Augusta National, covering everything from navigating the event’s strict no-phone policy to its luxurious invite-only dining experience, to their treasure hunt for collectible gnomes at the Pro Shop!

From the get-go, it's clear that the Masters is as much a social event as it is a sporting one.

We discuss the trend towards shorter skirts as opposed to traditional, longer lengths as comfort takes center stage when it comes to fashion choices on the green. In a similar vein, we acknowledge the “elevated, classy” attire everyone wore that gives the Masters its exclusive flavor.

We also talk getting starstruck by the endless sea of great golfers around us, and the shopping spree that had us questioning if we were at a golf tournament or the world's most exclusive outdoor mall!

 Justin Klemballa does a deep dive into making better contact with the ground, explaining how to avoid fat shots and train yourself to take a divot in front of the golf ball.

 He breaks down the four steps to improving your swing, covering how to shorten your backswing, stay on plane all the way through the swing, and create a mental plan to stay consistent with each and every shot.

 Key Highlights

·      The biggest technical problem golfers struggle with, if they have bad contact, is not realizing where the divot is supposed to be. Your club bottoms out and hits the ground with every golf club in your bag except your driver and your putter. Every other club should hit the ground slightly in front of the ball. Hitting the ground before the ball is called a “fat shot”, and it saps energy that would have otherwise gone into the ball.

·      What causes the ground to be struck behind the ball is when the golfer’s weight is distributed evenly (50/50 on each leg) or their weight is too much on the back foot. Get your weight (around 70-80%) into your left side prior to the moment of impact.

·      The four areas golfers must work on to improve their swing, in order of priority, are: to hit the ball more consistently, to hit the ball straight, and to hit the ball farther.

·      To help shorten your backswing, your body and arms should stop turning at the same time. Eliminate the tendency to continue swinging your arms after your body stops swinging.

Tori sits down with Shannon Mercer, Ashley Ibañez, and, all the way from the UK, Oli Bell.

 Oli is a sports broadcaster who specializes in horse racing, while occasionally dabbling in soccer as well as niche sports like snooker and darts. He’s also passionate about golf.

 Shannon and Ashley reflect on their 2022 trip to Scotland, where they intended to visit Dumbarnie Links as the first of their lineup of golf courses in the country, and how the Queen’s funeral forced them to postpone that visit.

 They went to North Berwick Golf Club and St Andrews Links, finishing at Kingsbarns Golf Links where they met Oli.

 Oli also discusses the planning process behind his annual golf trip for his group of twelve, the Bear Fight Invitational. He shares why he thinks the game of golf is not only great for building authentic relationships with like-minded folks, but also for broadening your horizons by traveling to amazing places in different countries.

 Key Highlights

·        Oli’s Bear Fight golf trips have allowed him to maintain genuine friendships amid the glitz and glamor of the world of media he’s constantly immersed in. Tori agrees, saying that golf has been a great way to meet new people and strengthen existing relationships, not to mention travel and discover beautiful new spots around the world.

·        As female golfers, Tori, Shannon, and Ashley probably felt more welcome in the Scottish golf community than in America. There, they didn’t feel like “women golfers” as much as they were simply “golfers”.

Tori sits down with golf fitness trainers Andrew Hannon and Zach Gulley.

Our guests kick things off with their thoughts on using social media as a tool for business growth, before diving into the meat of today’s conversation: each of their top five ways to gain more distance!

Key Takeaways

?      (13:53) Improving your speed can increase your distance, but it’s not the only way to do so. Other factors that play into distance are improving the mechanics of your swing, and fixing or acquiring equipment specifically built for you.

?      (18:30) The gym will only take you so far. It’s never a bad idea to go to the gym and work on your fitness. But if you’re serious about unlocking your potential as a golfer, it’s important to work with a coach on a regular basis.

?      (21:46) Work on sequencing. At the most basic level, a swing sequence is a progression of movement from the pelvis to the torso to the arms to the wrists to the club. It’s not like that for everybody, not even tour pros. But Andrew and Zach train this sequence as a foundation because it results in maximum athletic motion. In other words, getting as close as possible to this particular sequence has been observed to produce the most power.

?      (30:48) Improve your force production. This is where the gym comes into play. How fast can you squat, bench, and row? Have a professional evaluate your current level of fitness as well as your body fat and other vitals, so that you’re able to create an optimized roadmap for your physical progression. Force production is crucial because more strength equals more speed.

?      (37:46) When screening a player, Andrew and Zack begin with trying to understand who they are as a golfer. What’s your motivation? Are you teachable? Are you willing to invest a considerable amount of time to achieve your goals? Most people are excited about the thought of improving their fitness and skills, but it’s just as important to willingly put in the time and effort needed to do so!

?      (42:01) Incorporate power implements to your training. The goal is to train your body to move lighter loads faster. Use equipment such as medicine balls and bands, and practice jumps to boost your force production.

?      (43:55) The three Ds of iron fitting are Distance, Dispersion, and Dissent angle. This is because each club has a different goal. Two clubs that do the same thing only make for a heavier bag. As important as distance is, without tight dispersion, you will have worse misses. The better your misses, the better your game. Likewise, if you’re not landing on and holding greens, your score will continue to add up.

To grab a copy of the Short Game 100 program, please visit: ShortGame100.com.

Key Takeaways

?      (19:00) It’s all about the short game. It’s true: Nobody started playing golf because they like to putt and chip. But working on your short game builds a strong foundation, over time, for your full swing.

?      (25:57) Most people aren’t that good. As with starting anything new, it’s easy to be intimidated by those who have more experience than you. At the beginning, everyone looks like a PGA Tour player. On the other hand, in Tori’s words, “I can verify that balls are not going far and they’re going cock-eyed. You’re not the only one!” Justin concurs, saying, “No matter what level you are, there is some really bad golf to be played out there, even on the highest level.”

?      (30:57) When in doubt, ask. No question is stupid in this game. Ask about the rules. Ask about etiquette. Ask about the dress code on certain courses. Ask where the range balls are. Ask where the first tee is. These are all normal questions, and everyone from your foursome to the pro shop staff to the bag room staff will be more than happy to answer any of them.

?      (38:02) Nobody cares about your game. Rather, pace of play is number one. This is easier said than done, of course. But simply being aware about pace of play will help speed up your game. Avoid getting lost in conversation and focus on keeping up with the group in front of you.

?      (44:41) Just pick it up. Nobody has been banned from the game for making a single mistake. Failing to adhere to the dress code the first time around is a lesson to keep in mind for next time. Be open to learning and making mistakes, and you will improve as a golfer.

Listen in as Justin Klemballa and I discuss tendencies golfers fall into when they get nervous, and strategies for nipping those tendencies in the bud!

Key Highlights

·      Tendency #1: Tension. When adrenaline is pumping through your veins out on the course, you tend to grip your club a little too tightly. To counter tension, apply the “so theory”: Embrace the negative thought, but immediately follow-up with a solution to direct your fear into strategy. It’s always better to commit to action than to get paralyzed by tension.

·      Tendency #2: Not following through. It’s easy to get overly focused on the ball that you end your swing at the ball itself, as if the ball is your “finish line”. In fact, the ball is only “halftime”. Focus instead on sticking to the finish, where your body ends up facing your target, and your right toe is perfectly pointed.

·      Tendency #3: Transferring weight. At the end of a swing, notice whether you’re transferring your weight too far from the right to the left.

·      Tendency #4: ”Decelerating” during putts or chips. Deceleration tends to happen when you realize that you started with too much of a backswing, and try to slow yourself down throughout the rest of the swing to counteract that initial power. Instead, go with a shorter backswing and allow the acceleration to hit the golf ball.

·      Tendency #5: Speeding up your swing. If you tend to speed up at the backswing or the transition, try to keep your feet together and focus on redirecting the majority of that speed down to the bottom of the swing.

·      Tendency #6: The chicken wing. This is when your right elbow points up while going into the backswing, or when your left elbow points up on the follow-through. Focus on keeping your elbows down all the way through.

I’m sitting down with JGAA junior golfer Ashley Shaw and her mom, Sylvia, to look back on Ashley’s remarkable journey from local competitions to the LPGA Founders Cup!

Ashley recalls the moment she found herself leading the scoreboard during the tour, completely unaware of her live-scored triumph. Sylvia opens up about the emotional rollercoaster of caddying for her daughter, painting a picture of her unforgettable experience of watching Ashley claim her place among the pros.

We also take a closer look at what distinguishes professional golfers from amateurs, from course management to club selection. Ashley discusses her mental approach to handling pressure while Sylvia shares her newfound caddying insights and the unique pressures of different competitive formats.

Finally, Ashley gives us a look behind the curtain at her athletic upbringing, her multi-sport talents, and the tight-knit family dynamic that was (and still is) essential to her success. Meanwhile, Sylvia reflects on balancing sports with homeschooling and the rigorous planning required for junior golf events.

Tori sits down with Leslie Rangel and Kim Eaton.

After briefing us on their golf game and a few of their secrets to staying in top shape, Leslie and Kim discuss the ins-and-outs of planning and organizing member-guest tournaments.

Key Takeaways

?      (13:10) Know your budget. Once you settle on the number of days you want for the tournament (and verify availability at the pro shop), you’ll want to get clear on your budget. Your budget determines how many spots you’ll pay, the entry fee, meals, and more. Note that the price per day will change depending on the day of the week and the time of year.

?      (21:35) At partner events, you can opt for either the stroke play format or a match play (9-hole matches). Most clubs stick to traditional formats which they’ve run for years. However, you may be able to switch things up for your particular event by making a suggestion with the board. Optionally, you can do what’s called a Horse Race at the end of a game with 10-20 teams taking strict alternating shots on the same hole.

?      (32:34) When determining registration prices, factor in increasing costs. Typically, the use of a country club course is free. But there are cart fees, as well as costs for tee gifts and prizes. Then there’s food, which is often the biggest expense.

?      (37:34) Open registration at least three months in advance, and close around three weeks before the tournament.

?      (41:01) Themes are fun, but they can easily be a time- and money-suck without careful planning. Our favorites for invitationals include casino, rock & roll, gold rush, and springtime.

?      (46:07) You can include parimutuel betting in which players can bet on individual teams to win, place, or show. In Tori’s experience, women don’t usually bet enough money to make it worthwhile. Even if your team wins, you might only walk away with the same amount you bet.

?      (51:47) Get creative with tee gifts and prizes. Our guests’ favorite tee gifts are portable fans and rechargeable hand warmers, water bottles, shoe bags, speakers, and saddle bags. Typical prizes include pro shop credit, gift cards, cash, and merchandise such as bags.

There, I had the opportunity to sit down with three amazing women: players Bailey Tardy and Lauren Coughlin share two inspiring stories of resilience, while Tournament Director Emily Podzlinski gives us the lowdown on the ins-and-outs of running a golf championship.

Listen in as Bailey and Lauren reflect on their comebacks from the edge of quitting to securing their coveted LPGA tour cards. Chock-full of raw anecdotes around mini-tour hardships and last-ditch victories, their stories mirror the resilience and passion that define success in the world of professional golf.

Then there’s Emily Podzlinski, who unveils the meticulous juggling act that goes on behind the curtain of an LPGA tournament. We dive into the mental and physical rigors of the sport, including the profound impact a recent win can have on a player's routine and mindset. We also talk tournament preparation, nurturing a productive dynamic with your caddy, course management, spectator flow, and much more.

Tori sits down with Angela Hurt, as well as Jon Sherman, owner of Practical Golf and author of Amazon bestseller The Four Foundations of Golf.

Angela and John fill us in on their golf game and goals for 2023 before breaking down the seven habits guaranteed to make you a better golfer!

Key Takeaways

• (16:45) Habit #7: Practicing with intent. Many golfers go through what John calls “zombie range sessions” on the regular, thinking that the sheer repetition of mindlessly hitting balls hundreds of times will translate to better performance. But golf is about putting thought before, during, and after the shot. Practicing with intent involves considering your target, taking the shot, then assessing and adjusting. Rinse and repeat.
• (24:40) Habit #2: Choosing smaller targets. Most golfers are too conservative off the tee and too aggressive with their approach shots. A better strategy is to get the ball as far as possible off the tee. From there, aim at the center of the green and club towards the back yardage.
• (27:57) Habit #3: Growing your grit. Golf is a difficult game and it’s easy to lose your cool if the game isn’t going your way. Angela Duckworth defines grit as “perseverance and passion for long term goals”. For golfers, this means embracing a positive, solution-oriented, and long-term mindset for the game.
• (32:17) Habit #4: Reviewing your rounds. Make it a point to take five-to-ten minutes after every round going over as many shots as you can. Look for patterns—strategic mistakes, mental mistakes, ball striking, etc.—and figure out how to iron out those kinks for next time.
• (36:39) Habit #5: Gratitude. In John’s experience, unlike with most other sports, it’s easy to equate being a bad golfer with being a bad person. The best way to combat those feelings? With a healthy, regular dose of gratitude for all the good things that have come into your life through the game of golf.
• (42:14) Habit #6: Managing your expectations. Without managing our expectations properly, it’s easy to beat ourselves up over every mistake or setback, no matter how small. Golf can bring out the worst of that behavior. Growth and happiness take place when your expectations match your ability.
• (49:04) Habit #7: Having a process. Have a routine before every shot and use that routine on the practice range as well. Unlike most other sports, golf is a proactive rather than a reactive game. That is, you have around a minute to assess and decide your next move. With a process, you won’t get stuck on the ball during that minute of silence.

In the first of this two-part conversation, I’m sitting down with Scott Fawcett, founder of the DECADE Course Management System, to learn his unique approach to playing golf with intention–beyond the swing.

Listen in as Scott shares how the game's evolution places equal weight on both the mental and the physical, drawing parallels between golf and chess. Whether you're a club-level player or an aspiring pro, Scott’s Decade system offers a simplified approach to understanding the complexities of the game, helping you play smarter, not harder.

We then take a deep dive into putting performance, breaking down the concepts of tracking putts and strokes gained. Discover the importance of walking off putt distances and why nailing long putts can dramatically impact your game. Professor Mark Broadie’s strokes gained method offers a nuanced, step-by-step approach that goes beyond just counting total putts.

Scott and I end the first part of our discussion with our thoughts on the types of mental health challenges faced by golfers at all levels. We explore the emotional and psychological strains of the sport, using drawing on our personal experiences to highlight the importance of having a support system to keep you afloat. From Tiger Woods’ legendary mental resilience to the tragic story of Grayson Murray, we’re bringing to the surface the need for more mental health awareness in the golfing community.

I sit down with Sue Wooster, the number one female senior golfer over 60 in the world. Listen in as we discuss her winning mindset and approach to the game!

Fresh from the Senior Women’s Amateur at Scottsdale, Sue talks about how she prepared for the championship a year in advance. She gives her insights into the importance of short game and successful putting, and reflects on overcoming her crippling self-doubt leading up to the tournament.

Sue gets candid about handling pressure, and the emotional highs and lows of match play up to the moment she made it to her third final at a USGA Senior Women’s Amateur tournament. She also explains how she maintains her swing speed and the role of the Stack System in improving her game.

About the USGA U.S. Senior Women's Amateur:

The U.S. Senior Women's Amateur is a prestigious golf tournament for female amateur golfers aged 50 and older, featuring both stroke play and match play rounds. The champion is awarded the title and often gains exemptions to other major golf events, making it a significant fixture on the amateur golf calendar that celebrates the talent and history of senior women in the sport.
