Golf is a passion of ours, and it’s a part of life that we cherish. It’s the competition, the challenge, the joys, the frustrations, but in many cases, it’s the camaraderies we have out on the course meeting new people and hanging out with those we love...

February 12, 2019 A Strong Winter Brings Stronger Golf | Coach Kevin Duffy [#224]
Today I am especially excited to bring on our special guest, Coach Kevin Duffy.
Are you making the most out of this off-season? Some of the most common problems golfers experience on the course when the season comes around are lack of distance, lack of endurance, and not being any better and, if anything, being a little rusty from the year before.
Physically, you have to try and balance keeping up with your workouts while making sure you’re not too sore on the links or vice versa. In this episode we dive into “The Strength Window” in the off-season to get you prepared for the workouts when the season comes up and if you listened to “Episode 221: 5 Non-Golf Things You Should Do This Winter”, than this episode with Rotational-Specific Strength and Conditioning Coach Kevin Duffy will be the perfect follow up.
Kevin Duffy’s Background

* Kevin Duffy is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) based out of Sudbury, MA.
* Known as ‘Coach Duff’, Kevin has a vast amount of experience with training athletes of all levels and he is specifically experienced in Golf and Rotational specific work.
* Coach Duff specializes in working with rotational athletes especially golf. Kevin has gone on to continue his education through Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) levels 1 and 2 in golf fitness. Duff excels at raising the level of performance with groups of athletes in a team setting as well as with individual programs and small group programs.
* His outlook: “Do the simple things savagely well, to produce uncommon results”

Highlights from this Episode

* His background as Coach Kevin Duffy in the public and private sectors, and how he branched into the golf world through TPI and his rotational work.
* His TPI presentation at the PGA show where he talked about how not enough golfers are training early enough in the off-season, and the importance of his 4 exercises and the “The Strength Window” that can be implemented into everybody’s program:

* Deadlift: The deadlift and the hip-hinge are what help puts you over the ball. Once you get over the ball, you want to feel strong over it, which the deadlift helps with while promoting good posture.
* Farm Walk: Maintaining a movement and posture while reigning in the spine rotation.
* Pull-up: Another posture builder, the pull-up sets can help not only with strength conditioning for the new season, but with shoulder strength, stability and confidence.
* Step-Up: Simple endurance workouts, which can condition you for the upcoming season and carry over into the seasonal power and speed exercises.

* How he programs these 4 exercises with his clients in the off-season and how it’s about variation and simplicity over trying to over-complicate. It’s always better to do something simple consistently rather than overcomplicate and get lost in the process.
* He breaks down his famous “door-kick” call sign on each of his videos.

January 30, 2019 What Golf’s New Rules Mean to You | Curt Rohe | Metropolitan Amateur Golf Association [#222]
While normally we’re talking about the physical and mental pieces that you can emphasize to get the greatest edge on your golf game, this week we are talking with Curt Rohe from the Metropolitan Amateur Golf Association about the new rules that are coming into play in 2019.
If there is one theme that we try to reiterate over and over here at the 18Strong Podcast, it’s that simplicity and consistency are the key to winning at everything, so I thought it would be the perfect time to bring on Curt Rohe, the Executive Director from the Metropolitan Amateur Golf Association here in St. Louis, to talk about the new rules that have been changed with the USGA and the RNA, for professionals and amateur golfers across the world.
I want to take this opportunity to make sure we are clear on the rules and discuss what they are trying to do because I know there is already a considerable amount of confusion amongst golfers. Overall, I love seeing the proactive approach of the USGA to try to simplify and improve the game.
Curt Rohe’s Background

* Started with MAGA in 1998 as a PJ Boatwright Intern.
* Franklin County Country Club (Washington, MO) as Assistant Manager for 2 seasons.
* October of 2001 returned full-time to MAGA as Director, Tournament Operations.
* 2010 was named Executive Director and have held that position ever since.
* Officiated at several USGA championships: the 2015 US Open, 2015 & 2016 US Senior Open.
* Worked with the NCAA in conducting the NCAA Division II Golf Championship from 2002-2008.

Highlights from this Episode

* Curt talks about the Metropolitan Amatuer Golf Association (MAGA), their role in relation to the USGA, and the services they offer like course handicap and slope rating. We also get into how they are authorities on the rules of golf and the perfect guest to dive into the different changes we will see in the next year.
* The importance of keeping a handicap record rather than just spit-balling your score each time, and how helpful and motivating it can be to see your handicap trending in the right direction.
* What sparked the big change in rules through the USGA in 2019 and how this process, started years ago, aims to simplify, expedite, and modernize the rules and game. We breakdown the different new or revised rule groupings and his thoughts on each:

* Putting Green: Being able to fix damage without fear of penalty (tamp down spike marks, old hole plugs, spike marks, etc.), being able to leave the flag stick in, able to replace ball from accidental movement (e.g. Lexi Thompson Incident), and the naked eye ruling.
* Bunker: Can remove impediments, still cant ground clubs, brush sand away on your back swing, can get relief from bunker for -2 penalty stroke.
* Penalty Areas: What used to be “Hazards” are now penalty areas, defining from red stakes and yellow stakes, and allowing the committees to make any area a penalty area (not just high grass areas, water hazard, etc.), able to take 2 club lengths laterally out of penalty area rather than search for ball.
* Misc.: New standardized dropping height (from the knee.)

Parting Questions:
Caddy Shack or Happy Gilmore? Caddy Shack
What would your walk-up song to the first teebox be? Emerson Drive – A Good Man
18 Holes anywhere in the world with anyone, past or present: Where would it be and whom would you play? Arnold Palmer at Latrobe
