High Tech, Low Tech, and No Tech. That’s how the show flows this week. First we talk to Reed Dickens from LA Shafts. They have designed a revolutionary shaft. Actually two, one for driver, one for putter. They have been designed with the help of Bryson DeChambeau who answers every physics student’s question: “when will I ever use this stuff in real life?” And Bryson says even 20 handicappers should just swing harder! Next we talk to Marc Goldsmith about the way it used to be, the historic clubs of

Golf Parents, listen up. We talk with Pam, a mother of a pretty good collegiate golfer who played in a Monday qualifier for the Honda Classic. He was one of 27 guys competing for 3 openings. What was it like for Pam to sit thru Monday’s round? Steve won one of the 3 entries by the way. Then what was it like to sit thru the first 2 days of the tournament? Steve made the cut by the way.

S2 Ep113: Practice Can Ruin Your Game

Those Weekend Golf Guys ·

2021/03/21

You know what can really screw up your game? Practicing the wrong thing, that’s what. Learn from Rory MacElroy. He saw DeChambeau hit the ball 377 and decided he too could use more speed and hence, more distance. The exercises to increase swing speed really screwed up his swing and he missed 2 consecutive cuts because of it. Here’s the lesson Jeff wants you to remember: work on your weakness. Realize what it is you need to do to shoot lower scores and work on that. So this week we take a rather

2021/03/07

This week the golf guys return to a much warmer time. We go back to July of last year when we had the pleasure of talking to Coach Jonathan Coachman of WWE and ESPN fame. Coach is a piece of work and we had a blast with him and we remind you to check out the work he is doing with PGA Reach. Also, we describe the rules for Gimmies: when to give one, when not to give one, and when you look like a jerk if you don’t give one. If you missed Coach last time you have another chance.

S2 Ep110: Will The USGA Ruin The Game?

Those Weekend Golf Guys ·

2021/02/28

John asked one question: why does the USGA deem it necessary to research making the golf equipment not work as strongly based on the results of just the top 1 tenth of the top 1 percent? That set Jeff off on a tirade. You’ve heard the complaints, right? The golf balls today fly too far. The golf clubs today hit the ball too far. The players of today are hitting too long and are making the courses obsolete. Sure, the top 125 players maybe. But why will the USGA and the R&A study the situation

S2 Ep109: Stop Hitting It Fat

Those Weekend Golf Guys ·

2021/02/21

Success depends On How You Start! It may sound terribly elementary but, your swing may be perfect but if the ball is in the wrong place, you won’t have any good shots. Jeff was dealing with a student who put the ball way too far back in his stance which caused all kinds of problems. His trailing shoulder was too low. His posture was all screwed up. Whenever he tried to get to the ball, he was hitting everything FAT. We called him Sir Hitsfatalot. Do you suffer from too many fat shots? Too many

S2 Ep108: Effortless Power or Powerless Effort?

Those Weekend Golf Guys ·

2021/02/15

Let’s do some math. If every mile per hour increase in ball speed translates to 3 yards more distance, how much yardage could you add if you could increase your ball speed by 20-25 mph? Jeff Smith gets down to brass tacks and tells us all how to get more ball speed coming off the club face, WITHOUT gaining swing speed! It is the difference between effortless power and powerless effort. Don’t swing harder, or faster, just do these simple things and get that ball leaping off the club face so much

Fix It!!! Are you a hooker? There are 4 hooker flight paths: the ball starts straight and curves left, the ball starts left and curves left the ball starts right then curves left and the ball just moves left on a totally straight trajectory. None of them are what you want. In this episode, Jeff Smith, The #1 golf instructor in the state of Indiana will fix your hook, no matter which of those 4 you suffer from. The most common, the starts straight and curves left, Jeff addressed in this week’s Quick

She then entered a successful career as a golf broadcaster, where we find her walking the fairways of the latest PGA Tournament for NBC Sports and the Golf Channel.

Meet The Golf Boy. Jason Thurston is 11 years old. He is an avid golfer. He lives in Maine, which is not the best place for an avid golfer to live. During the 5 months he cannot play golf, Justin gets creative and designs clothes for kids and adults that feature sports designs, some funny sayings, or maybe just something cool and comfortable. The kid is smart, creative, and has a bit of an attitude. We asked him if his Dad taught him how to play. He told us “…you can’t really call what my Dad does

Why would one of America’s top golf instructors live in Minnesota 12 months a year? Isn’t the average golf season about a month or two? Well, we asked Eric Chiles that very question. His answer is hilarious. We also asked many other questions like: do you follow the rules to the letter? How do you deal with a client who really doesn’t want lessons? What are the major mistakes you see among weekend golfers? Boxers or briefs? So basically the conversation between Jeff Smith, Eric Chiles, (both great

Those Weekend Golf Guys ·

2021/01/03

Back in October we came across a sign that came from a golf course in England. It was dated 1940 and delineated a set of “special rules” that were to be used because of the “unpleasantness” of the current situation. Yes! Even during the Battle Of Britain and amidst constant threat of German attach the golfers in Britain would not be deterred. They continued to hit the links regularly, but did adopt these new rules. The list, in retrospect, is hilarious! And it became the topic of our most listened
