In this episode of The Golf Intervention, we take a sledgehammer to some of the most persistent myths in golf improvement. From obsessing over perfect swing positions to blindly hitting thousands of range balls, we break down what actually works—and what’s just noise. If you've ever been told you need to "get worse before you get better," this episode is your wake-up call.

We also expose other common misconceptions like:
 ❌ Watching the club hit the ball—why this cue may be destroying your contact
 💸 Spending outrageous money on aftermarket shafts and gear with little to no performance gain
 🔁 The dangerous myth of needing to go backwards before progress happens
 📈 Why real improvement is often simpler and smarter than you think

We discuss how to separate feel-good advice from fact-based strategies, and what to focus on if you want to actually lower your scores without overhauling your swing or emptying your wallet.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Why you don’t need a perfect swing to shoot lower scores
  • Smarter alternatives to endless range sessions
  • How to improve your game without expensive equipment upgrades
  • The truth about “watching the ball” and why it might be sabotaging your consistency
  • How to identify and avoid common golf improvement traps
