Brian Dunlevy and the Pure Drive team officially relaunch the Pure Drive Podcast, joined by Pure Drive Drive Golf owner and Director of Instruction Adam Kolloff to share their unique perspective as teaching professionals. The show will cover a wide range of golf topics including PGA Tour news, lesson insights, equipment reviews, course discussions, and tournament prep—all drawn from their day-to-day experiences coaching 25–45 golfers per week.

A major focus of the episode is common swing issues, particularly shanking. The group discusses how small technical changes can sometimes worsen contact for certain players (“delicate flowers”), and emphasizes practical, feel-based drills—like placing a towel or object outside the ball—to improve strike without overthinking mechanics. They highlight the importance of adaptability in coaching and using athletic instincts over technical overload.

The conversation shifts into player development and practice strategies, including:

•  Prioritizing strike quality (avoiding fat/shank misses) 
•  Using drills for low-point control (towel drill, fairway bunker practice) 
•  Structuring wedge practice through both swing length and club speed 
•  The importance of short game preparation before tournaments 

Adam recaps his recent NEPGA event, reinforcing the idea that players can perform well even when they don’t feel their best. The group discusses managing expectations, sticking to routines, and building confidence through experience.

On the professional golf side, they touch on:

•  The Fitzpatrick brothers winning the Zurich Classic 
•  Tournament insights and player picks for the upcoming event at Doral 
•  Nelly Korda’s dominant win at the Chevron Championship and her putting changes
