From Ground Forces To Better Routines, Here’s How Golf Actually Improves
Send a text
Wake up with coffee and clarity as we sit down with LPGA National Teacher of the Year Janine Murphy to rethink how improvement really happens. We’re talking about more than swing tips. This is a practical blueprint for building smarter practice, better routines, and a driving range people actually want to visit.
Janine opens her notebook and shows us how she structures a coach’s day for impact: early workouts, focused teaching windows, and protected planning time. From there, we dive into a trend that’s reshaping clubs across the country—turning the range into a destination. Think wedge workstations at tidy 10-yard gaps, uneven-lie zones, family-friendly short courses on target greens, and even modular bars that bring community to practice. When practice becomes an experience with purpose, players stick around, log quality reps, and improve faster.
We also get tactical on tech without drowning in jargon. Janine shares how AI simplifies video editing and content distribution so coaches spend more time teaching. We break down Sportsbox 3D and why motion capture helps you see whether a change adds speed or steals it. Then we translate ground reaction forces into plain English: press the ground well, and the ground gives you speed back. Shoes, balance, and footwork either unlock power or choke it. For juniors, the best speed tool might be the cheapest—an alignment rod and the chase for a louder whoosh out front. Add PathPal for precise shaft angles and clean alignment, and you’ve got a powerful, affordable toolkit.
Performance doesn’t live in swing changes alone. It lives in recovery, sleep, and boundaries. Janine’s rule—phone out of the bedroom, aim for eight hours—pays off in faster learning and steadier coaching. And when scorecards matter, we put a spotlight where it belongs: on the tee. Solid drives create simple wedges and two-putt pars; chaotic drives force bad angles and short-side misses. Choose better targets, miss on the safe side, and let confidence build one clean tee ball at a time.
If you’re a golfer, a coach, or a club leader, this conversation delivers practical steps you can use today. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs a smarter plan, and leave a quick review to tell us the habit you’re changing this week.
