They also explore how to think like a pro when it comes to decision-making, shot shaping, and course management. Plus, Nico shares behind-the-scenes stories from working with elite players and how Golf Blueprint is helping everyday golfers build smarter training plans. Whether you're working on your 60-yard shot or trying to understand how wind really impacts your ball, this episode is packed with practical takeaways and fun stories from the tour.
