Those Weekend Golf Guys

What do you do when your skills improve but your score doesn't? Leave the frustration behind and follow Jeff's excellent advice. Pay attention. Pay attention to your surroundings; to where the trouble is; to what kind of lie you have and what clubs you know you can effectively use from that lie. Also, Jeff shares the secret formula to determine how long of a course your game is suited for.

We spend the weekend at a place you need to put on your bucket list: The French Lick Resort in French Lick, Indiana. We were there for the Senior LPGA Championship, presented by Old National Bank but you need to go for the golf (there are 3 classic courses from Pete Dye, Donald Ross and Tom Bendelow). There is history. There are trains. There is great food...the list goes on and on. We love it there. Listen and we're sure you will understand just why you have to go to French Lick

The guys talk to Matthew Reagan from Operation36. Matthew and his folks head up a pretty cool idea to get 1 million new people hooked on golf in the not too distant future. It's a new technique to learn that is more fun. Spend more time on the course playing than on the range practicing!

There is nothing that makes us feel more like Fall has finally arrived than spending a week at the French Lick Resort for the Senior LPGA Championship, Presented by Old National Bank. Not even pumpkin spice latte's come close. We spend an entertaining, educational and downright fun hour talking to Brendan Sweeney, the Director of Player Development at the resort. Put a golf trip here on your bucket list

Let's face it, you don't have that shot! There are so many times we weekend golfers try to pull off a shot that requires perfection, only to kick ourselves after we screw it up. So lets face it, you are NOT going to put that ball on the green 246 yards away with your 3 wood; you are not going to get through (or over) those trees; you probably will not clear that water hazard. Listen intently as Jeff explains how to make good decisions on the course. Learn On Course Strategy

John and Jeff relate some on course golf stories that are actually true, and a few they have taken liberties with. Also, a company in Louisville that makes custom head covers from a picture of your pet is profiled. Remarkable stories and Cuddle Clones this week

Todd McDaniel has a space on Facebook called Gimmie Golf where you can buy, sell or trade new and used golf equipment! And then comes a conversation with Bart Potter, His website, jiffybody.com, will show you how to easily replace popping those pre-round Ibuprofens with some simple movements to make your body more ready for golf.

Our main interview is with David Maddox, Chief Meteorologist with Weather Pros. We talk about how to avoid lightning on the golf course. What are the signs? Where can you hide? What can you do to stay safe in the middle of a thunderstorm on the golf course?

Mike Thompson of RX.golf talks about a prescription discount card that contributes to Junior Golf all over the country. John and Jeff also talk about the stupid handicap system used at the FEDEX Championship this year. And finally, grips. When to change them. How to tell if you need to change them. And, ever think about cleaning them?

From the guys who play like they're the only ones on the course to the guys who play like they have ice cream melting in the car, John and Jeff talk about all those frustrations of slow play and what to do about it.
