Guests
Jeff Smith – Top 100 instructor, Golf Digest
James Hong – Renowned junior coach and teaching professional
Topics Covered
• Why indoor swings don’t always translate outdoors
• The biggest mistakes golfers make when leaving the simulator
• How to quickly recalibrate distance control on real grass

• The role of preshot routines in creating consistency
• How routines help manage nerves, tempo, and decision‑making
• Smart early‑season practice strategies

Key Takeaways

• A strong preshot routine is your anchor when conditions change.
• Early‑season success comes from patience, tempo, and smart decisions.
