David Dunne is a performance nutritionist for the European Tour and the European Ryder Cup team. He joined us to break down what good nutrition and hydration can do for your golf game, and illuminate a few easy ways you can keep yourself fueled up and steady throughout those long weekend rounds. He also sent over a number of easy, healthy recipes for energy bars and snacks that we have added to our Index Experiment member hub here: https://sites.google.com/golfersjournal.com/index-experiment-hub/home/health-and-fitness/nutrition

PGA Tour winner Greg Chalmers joined us on Discord for a wide-ranging chat about his life, career, and uncanny knack for getting the ball in the hole.

BTS Southwest Vice Captain Eric Moats and his wife Kate join us for a stress-alleviating dip into the world of breathwork and meditation. Both Kate and Eric teach yoga and meditation techniques, and Kate recently launched a Breathwork startup called Breathsource, but don't get the wrong idea. They are both golfers, and this discussion is chock full of easy, actionable tips on clearing your mind and loosening your body before and during a round.

Epson Tour player Brynn Walker joins the elite golfers on the TGJ staff for a roundtable discussion on how to deal with pressure on the course. This one is chock full of insights and anecdotes from the top tiers of both the men's and women's game, with discussions on how to eliminate first-tee jitters, what it takes to keep a good round going and, if you're Tom Coyne, how to hold your head high after embarrassing yourself in front of a selection of golf media elites.

UGA Mathematics professor, Golf Blueprint co-founder, and BTS member Kevin Moore joins us for an in-depth discussion about the science and philosophy behind golf practice. Golf Blueprint offers an algorithm-based approach to training, but you’ll be happy to hear that according to Kevin, goal No. 1 is to enjoy your practice. He shares some excellent insights and stories regarding block vs. random practice, pre-shot routines, mental toughness, and playing golf your own way. Jon Rahm trusts Golf Blueprint with his practice plans, and endorsements don't get much stronger than that.

It's Masters week, and we're on the ground in Augusta. Join Tom Coyne, Augusta native and The Bridge head pro Jeff Warne, and professional chef/president of the Seamus Power fan club Liam Deasy for a wide-ranging live chat. Between New Zealand golf, sneaking into Augusta National, and the best way to nip a 30-yard pitch shot, nothing is off the table in this discussion. 

The No. 1 junior player in the world joins us to talk about her preparation for the Augusta National Women's Amateur. We also discuss her unconventional golf life, her streak of three straight LPGA Monday qualifiers, the surprising camaraderie present in the cutthroat world of junior golf, and the plans for her megawatt future in the game.

Andy Goldstein owns TrainX Wellness in Lake Forest, CA. He's a chiropractor, a TPI-certified trainer, a golfer, and a Broken Tee Society member, and he joined us for a hangout to address some of the community's questions on mobility and golfing fitness. Jump in and learn why your lower back and knees hurt (and how to prevent it), the surprising way your feet affect body rotation, and how that standard warmup you're doing has been wrong for years. 

CBS Sports golf gambling expert Rick Gehman joins us for an update on the hostile takeover he's perpetrated on our Broken Tee Society One&Done league. Rick is a card-carrying BTS member, and has put his money where his mouth is this season, racking up two wins on his way to a first-place standing out of 150 members. We chat about his top picks and sleepers for The Players Championship, and get into the strategy behind successfully wagering on golf.
