Welcome to Stock Shot Secrets! In this episode, Kyle Morris dives deep into the concept of developing a reliable "stock shot"—the kind of shot you can count on every time you step onto the course. Drawing fascinating comparisons between tour players and scratch golfers, Kyle breaks down the myths around “playing the golf course” and introduces listeners to the game-changing metric of strokes gained.

Through movie references like Moneyball and real-life anecdotes—whether it’s helping his dad, a 28 handicap, or revealing how course management transformed his own competitive play—Kyle uncovers the truth about what “good” actually means for golfers of every skill level. You’ll learn how expectations, emotional memories, and strategy all impact your game, and why sometimes, the smartest play isn’t chasing birdies but simply beating your own average.

Plus, get ready for practical tips, performance insights, and a new way of thinking that just might lift the weight off your shoulders and allow you to play with more freedom. Whether you're trying to outscore your buddies, compete in a tournament, or just break your personal best, this episode will give you a fresh perspective on how to shape your own Stock Shot Secrets.
