Goforth & Golf Podcast

Nic and Steve are back breaking down the year’s second major championship as they go head-to-head with their picks for the 2026 PGA Championship at legendary Aronimink Golf Club.

The guys dive into the players they believe are built to contend on one of the purest championship tests in American golf, discuss dark horses and sleepers, and debate what type of game it will take to survive Aronimink’s demanding layout.

Originally designed by legendary architect Donald Ross, Aronimink is famous for its lightning-fast greens, thick rough, strategic bunkering, and classic Ross philosophy that “a player should use every club in the bag.” The course has hosted multiple major championships and elite events over the years and is known for rewarding precision, patience, and elite ball-striking under pressure.

Nic and Steve also talk about:

Steve holds a narrows 2pt lead for the season. Can he maintain or extend that lead or will Nic take over the lead after this tournament? Major championship pressure, bold predictions, and plenty of golf banter—this one has it all.

Most golfers don’t miss greens because of a bad swing—they miss because they misjudge the distance.

In this episode, Steve breaks down one of the most overlooked scoring killers in golf: poor distance control on approach shots. From overestimating your yardages to ignoring elevation, wind, and course conditions, these small miscalculations quietly add strokes to your round.

You’ll learn why your “stock yardage” isn’t always reliable, how adrenaline and course management decisions can distort your perception, and the simple adjustments that can help you start hitting more greens with confidence.

If you’ve ever flown the green when you swore you had the right club—or come up frustratingly short—this episode will help you understand why it’s happening and how to fix it.

You’re probably giving away way more shots than you think from 100 yards and in.

Most golfers believe their driver or ball striking is the reason they can’t score lower… but the truth is, the real damage is happening where you’re supposed to score. Chunked wedges, poor distance control, bad decisions, weak chips, and the short putts you absolutely can’t afford to miss are quietly wrecking your rounds.

In this episode, Steve exposes where golfers are bleeding strokes inside 100 yards, why it happens, and how to finally turn that part of your game into a strength instead of a liability.

If you’re tired of leaving shots out there, blowing scoring opportunities, and walking off the course knowing you should’ve shot lower, this episode will hit home.

Clean up this part of your game and you can save multiple shots a round without changing your swing.

If you want to score better, think smarter, and stop throwing away strokes where it matters most… you need this episode.

In this episode, Steve breaks down one of the most misunderstood decisions in golf: when to hit a chip shot and when to hit a pitch shot around the green.

Too many golfers automatically grab one club without truly evaluating the situation, and it costs them strokes.

Steve dives into:

The key differences between a chip and a pitch

How lie, green slope, pin location, and landing area should influence your decision

Why trajectory control matters more than the club in your hand

A simple pre-shot evaluation system you can use every time

Around the greens isn’t just about technique, it’s about decision-making. The best players don’t guess… they assess. If you want to eliminate indecision, improve your scoring, and start thinking your way around the greens with confidence, this episode is for you.

Smarter decisions. Fewer wasted strokes. Lower scores.
