710: J Wesley Frost plays golf to get away from thinking about his work as a small town police officer. So does the main character of his first self published book, “18 Holes” available on Amazon. But that’s where the similarity ends. The main character, Henry Walsh, is about taking you out for a detailed round of golf, but like all of us, it’s what happens between shots that makes this book hard to put down. .

MakeTheTurn on Facebook and YouTube) of Make the Turn Golf (app and mttperformance.com website) is one of our favorite instructors not because he’s the son of a golf instructor or that he’s been teaching since he was 16, it’s because he has a fully integrated approach to making his students better by combining Skill Building, Mindset, Fitness, and Nutrition. In this conversation we talk about how becoming a complete golfer who “plays a game” will outplay someone who is just focused on swing mechanics.

703: Surveys show that 60% of all golfers are over 50, yet golf instruction focuses on the power and flexibility of young people. Brian Sparks like Bobby Jones believes that “the whole body is involved” in the golf swing, not just your arms, hips, wrists, etc. Brian has been helping golfers in the UK and France for decades and sees a huge difference from “teaching” (at people) vs “coaching” (for people). From that he’s developed a philosophy that’s evolved from Positive Impact Golf (https://easiestswing.com/our-products/) to Easiest Swing Golf (easiestswing.com).
