On this episode of The Golf Intervention Podcast, we dig into three critical areas that can help golfers of all levels play smarter and score better.

Topics we cover include:

  • Playing from the Rough:
    • How to assess your lie and choose the right shot.
    • When to take a risk versus when to play safe.
    • How rough affects spin, launch, and distance—and what that means for club selection.
  • The Iron Fitting Revolution with Loft Adjustments:
    • Why iron fitting has changed dramatically thanks to loft optimization.
    • How adjusting lofts can fine-tune launch height, spin rates, and carry distance.
    • Why proper gapping throughout your set is essential for consistent scoring.
    • What every golfer should know before buying or tweaking their irons.
  • Lessons from the Lesson Tee:
    • The importance of separating two key skills:
      • Impact location on the clubface (centeredness of strike).
      • Clubface orientation (open vs. closed at impact).
    • Why confusing these two often leads to frustration and misdiagnosis of swing flaws.
    • Practical drills to improve both skills and build more reliable ball flight.

This episode combines on-course strategy, cutting-edge equipment fitting insights, and real teaching takeaways to give you insights you can apply immediately to your game.
