Tiger Woods is considered by many as the best iron player of all time due to his exceptional control over yardages, hitting 51% of shots short of the flag and 49% long, the best ratio in golf history.

This time, we're breaking down the secrets behind Tiger Woods' legendary status as the best iron player of all time and exploring how amateur golfers like you can improve your game by controlling your yardages.

Here are 3 key takeaways from the episode:

• Control Through Technique: Learn why altering the length of your swing, rather than its speed, is crucial for hitting your desired yardage. This technique can change how far your ball travels, making your shots more reliable.
• Feedback Stations: Setting up feedback mechanisms during practice sessions is essential. It helps translate your swing feel into accurate, consistent shots that mimic the precision of Tiger Woods.
• Mastering the Basics: Surprisingly, amateur golfers can hit the ball closer from longer distances compared to shorter ones. Focusing on controlling distance with concepts like hand length and feedback can bridge this gap significantly.

Have you ever wondered why your New Year's resolutions seem to fizzle out? In this episode, I'll share a personal epiphany I had while exploring new sports, like skiing and tennis, and how it relates to goal-setting in golf and beyond.

So grab your clubs, your racket, or your running shoes, and let’s get started on building your goals the right way.
