Those Weekend Golf Guys

We all know that Pete Dye designed golf courses are some of the most beautiful, most challenging, and most expensive golf courses you can play. We talk about some Dye courses we have played, some we would like to play, and one that everyone, no matter how little they may have left in their golf budget, can play. It's a municipal course in Lexington, Kentucky. Of course, if you plan on playing a tough course, make sure to listen to Michael Gish from Total Golf Trainer. He explains exactly how his practice tool will get you ready for even the most challenging of golf courses. And in the bonus segment, we go back to one year ago and Jeff explains how exactly to find the perfect grip for you.

When you play your clubs get dirty, especially in the colder, wet preseason conditions. It is important to clean them well and to clean them correctly. Here's how. Are you ready? We have a guest that was born ready, Tim Ready from All19Holes.com with a look into golf attire made from recycled and sustainable materials. And then we talk to Ron Garland from the Golf Nuts, the Club, website. He has some stories that will keep you laughing all season long. And then, this week's bonus content is a simple technique from Jeff's Quick Fix to assure your driver head is aligned correctly improving your chances of actually hitting a straight drive

Dr. Gary Sailles, a Sports Performance Coach and Professor at Indiana University, joins us and we cover many interesting topics like: Golf is a game of error management; even Tiger Woods knows he won't hit more than 2 perfect shots in the course of a round so your score is dependent on the quality of your misses; how many of us manage to talk ourselves into a bad game; and the best lesson we can learn to improve our golf game is how to manage ourselves on the course.

Plus some Bonus Content: An inside look at a putter fitting at the SeeMore Putter Performance Institute.

It's just like hanging out in the pro shop waiting for the frost to leave the greens this time of year. John, Jeff, and Wayne Gibbs, the GM at Timbergate Golf Course just talk about whatever comes up. Golfers, great golf courses, bad golfers, funny stories and more. Will you learn anything this week? Possibly. Will you get a laugh or two this week? Definitely!Another great hour of golf talk from Those Weekend Golf Guys.

And we added a bonus content segment from 2018 where Jeff gets serious about how to help you chip better.

A 3 step process to break 80 this year and none of it revolves around new equipment, just thought process. Also, mistakes we make on the practice tee and some news about the new balls from Bridgstone Golf. Who should use them and when. Plus a bonus segment with a quick fix from Jeff on how to increase club head speed and add extra yards to every club in your bag.

You look like Craig Stadler but you want to swing like Dennis Johnson. Yup, copying a Pro is just one mistake golfers make. There's also not having a pre-shot routine, having an overblown opinion of your average distance for each club, not playing to your strengths, and not cleaning your grooves. Jeff and John discuss these and more mistakes all golfers, yes, even YOU, make consistantly.

John and Jeff talk about all those stupid things we do in golf carts that really tick off the group behind you. Jeff tells of some fantastic finds at the PGA Merchandise Show that will help you get your swing grooved for the upcoming season. John's wife finds out he joined a country club. Hilarity ensues...Plus a bonus segment with golf comedian, T.P. Mulrooney

John and Jeff pitch a fit about some of the stuff in golf that really pisses them off! Jeff complains if John hits his ball out of the fairway (as usual) he can now move impediments in his way and, within the rules, improve his lie. BUT! Jeff can hit a ball straight down the middle (as usual) and if it lands in a divot, he cannot improve his lie. Unfair! No, stupid. And John wants to know why he has to pay full price to play a course with recently aerated greens. Lively discussion, some arguments, and lots of laughs on this week's show.

 Do you think it would be easier to spend $399.99 on that miracle club that will get you 300 yard+ Drives straight down the fairway EVERY TIME? Why not just spend less and get some lessons and learn how to hit the clubs you already have? Don't fall prey to the on-line charlatans that are after your last penny and know you are so anxious to improve your game that you will spend that last penny to do it! 

Not all ground is the same. Not even bunkers. Not all sand is the same. What part of the beach are you on? The light fluffy sand? The sand where a little water hits and it's dry but a bit packed? Or are you on the sand that is hard-packed? And don't get me started on types of grass. You see, it really matters what kind of ground is under your feet to help determine what kind of a shot you should use. Jeff gives you insight into how to make those choices. Also, we interview Wes Wittingham from Volvik on how the golf ball you choose reacts to these different conditions. So, if you are as confused as the rest of us, listen to this episode for some clarification
