Birdie Board Podcast

In Episode 10 of the Birdie Board Podcast, Corey talks with Steve, the founder of PathPal Golf, about how a simple on range frustration grew into a fully developed golf training aid. Steve walks through the entire journey, from noticing how hard it was to use alignment sticks on turf and mats, to researching drills, sketching early designs, and partnering with a CAD designer to build the first prototype.

They dig into how 3d printing opened the door for rapid iteration, how feedback from top Golf Digest recognized instructors shaped the final product, and why versatility and real golfer problems sit at the center of PathPal’s design philosophy. If you have ever been curious about how golf products are created or you have your own idea you would love to bring to life, this episode is a behind the scenes look at turning a simple golf pain point into a practical training tool.

As the golf season winds down and the cold months roll in, this episode dives into the three overlooked skills that matter most when spring returns.

Curious why golf gets under your skin and stays there? In this episode, Corey pulls back the curtain on the game’s “simple” basics to reveal the deeper stuff: character, history, design, language, and the mental rhythm that keeps players hooked for life. You’ll hear how a self-policed honor code shaped the sport, why we play 18 holes, where birdies and bogeys came from, how ball dimples changed the flight forever, and why handicaps are the genius math that lets friends of different skill levels compete fairly.

We also touch on pace of play, the magic of your first pure strike, and a quick update on the latest Birdie Board release: feedback link in-app, festive holiday logo, and a new host control to manually override player handicaps for a match.

How do you get the most improvement out of the limited time you have for golf? Jeff Jones, a PGA teaching professional with 40+ years of experience, joins Corey to break down practical ways to maximize your return on practice: like why 8–10 minutes a day beats one long session, how to balance mechanics vs. feel, and why focusing on driver, wedges, and putter moves the scorecard fastest. Jeff also shares his classic “mattress and carpet” basement story, winter training ideas, and why posting scores (and playing for a little something) changes your mindset.

In this episode, Corey takes an honest look at his own game as a 20-handicap golfer and shares what’s made the biggest difference in his scores lately...the mental game. From learning to focus on the target to making smarter decisions off the tee, Corey walks through his approach to course management from tee to green.

He also breaks down key ideas around approach shot dispersion, how to build a consistent putting routine, and why you should think in terms of your handicap’s par rather than the course’s. The episode wraps up with a quick update on Birdie Board’s latest version (v1.4.0) and what’s coming next in v1.4.1.

If you’re looking to play smarter, not harder, this is an episode you’ll want to hear.

In this episode, Corey breaks down two numbers every golfer has seen but few actually understand...course rating and slope rating. He explains what they mean, how to find them on your scorecard, and how they tie directly into your handicap. Then, he talks about how Birdie Board uses those same ratings to make scoring fair across different courses and skill levels.

Whether you’re a scratch golfer or still learning the game, you’ll come away understanding how these ratings keep competition fun and balanced.
