The Golf Fitness Bomb Squad with Chris Finn

Most golfers spend thousands on equipment and lessons - and then show up to the first tee dehydrated and running on a bagel. In this episode of the Golf Fitness Bomb Squad, Chris Finn sits down with elite sports nutritionist Robert Yang to talk about what it actually takes to fuel a round of golf at any level.

Robert has worked with some of the biggest names in professional sports, including Drew Brees, Russell Wilson, Shohei Ohtani, and Wyndham Clark. He's also a TPI advisory board member and author of Hole in One Nutrition - the only nutrition book written specifically for golfers.

In this conversation, they cover:

You can't out-train a bad foundation.

That's one of the biggest things Chris unpacked during his guest appearance on The Sweet Spot Podcast with Jon Sherman and Adam Young - and it's the insight that convinced both hosts to start working directly with the P4S team.

Most golfers train harder and get slower.

Here's why - and what to do instead.

Chris recently joined Jon Sherman and Adam Young on The Sweet Spot Podcast - one of the most listened-to golf podcasts in the country - to break down what the research actually says about speed, aging, and mobility in golfers 50+.

In Part 1, he covers:

The conversation was so good, Jon and Adam started training with P4S themselves.

Chris sits down with SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio host and Golf Digest Top Teacher Greg DuCharme - one of the youngest coaches ever named to the list and a familiar voice to anyone who tunes into New Breed of Golf Monday through Friday - to pull back the curtain on what it actually takes to cover professional golf at the highest level.

Greg breaks down how a live radio show gets built from scratch every day, why preparation never really stops, and what separates the freedom of radio from the tight scripting of network television. He also gets into the players he's watching most closely in 2026, why back injuries are quietly reshaping the leaderboard, and the young guns he thinks are on the verge of becoming household names.

If you've ever called into a golf radio show or wondered how the guys in the booth always seem to have the right stat at the right moment - this episode is for you.

Chris breaks down one of the most talked-about medications in the country - and what nobody is telling golfers who are on it.

GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic are delivering real weight loss results, but up to 40% of that weight loss comes directly from lean muscle mass - the same muscle that drives club head speed, powers rotation, and keeps you off the injury list. Chris walks through what the data actually shows, why it's possible to lose weight and get fatter at the same time, and exactly what to do about it if you want to protect your golf game while you're on these medications.

If you or someone you play with is on a GLP-1 and nobody has talked to you about strength training, protein targets, or baseline testing - this episode is for you.

Chris sits down with Golf Digest Top International Teacher Andreas Kali - a coach who has produced DP World Tour and LPGA Tour winners, multiple NCAA All-Americans, and two national championships - to talk about what actually separates great ball strikers from everyone else.

Andreas breaks down his three-part framework for diagnosing any golfer at any level - from the 25-handicapper to the tour pro he watched at Valspar last week - and the one fundamental that matters more than grip, alignment, or swing plane. He also gets into how he builds junior players from once-a-week beginners into touring professionals, why autonomy in practice matters more than structured drills, and how body changes during growth spurts affect movement patterns in ways that follow a player for life.

If you have been watching your swing on your phone and trying to fix things that aren't actually the problem, this episode is for you.

In this episode of The Golf Fitness Bomb Squad, Chris Finn sits down with Ryan Webb—Director of Instruction at Northridge Country Club in Raleigh and one of the most dialed-in coaches in North Carolina—to break down the real bridge between golf fitness and swing instruction.

Ryan explains why most golfers chase the wrong fixes (the “4-to-5” move) while ignoring what actually drives everything: setup, trail-side loading, and sequencing. You’ll hear how he uses resistance and “feeding the problem” drills (reactive neuromuscular training) to create instant, no-fluff feel—so your brain learns the motion faster than any swing thought ever could.

They walk through common swing faults seen in everyday golfers—pressure in the toes, poor trail-hip rotation, “twisting” instead of loading, steep hand paths, and early extension—and the exact drills Ryan uses to clean them up. Then they go a level deeper: what changes when you’re already a good player, and why higher-level golfers often need more mobility and better shoulder/pelvis timing to match their speed.

Watch this one on YouTube—Ryan demos the drills and the swing breakdowns are heavily visual.
