Two Balls, One Brain: The Smarter Practice Episode


Listen Later

Practice Formats, Pressure, and Tech

The conversation shifts to practice formats that actually build skill under pressure — worst ball, best ball, and other creative ways to force better execution. Jeff also shares his experience with golf tech, explaining why he prefers Foresight over TrackMan. Spoiler: software accuracy and hardware reliability matter. The segment wraps when Jeff heads off to teach a lesson.

How to Improve Without Practicing More
For golfers who don’t have hours to grind, Jeff lays out a simple, effective pre‑round routine:
  • Arrive 30–45 minutes early
  • Warm up with practice swings
  • Chip with attention to posture and club length
  • Putt for distance control, not hole‑making The goal: build confidence, reduce pressure, and walk to the first tee already feeling sharp.
  • The Two‑Ball Practice Method
    John and Jeff break down a practice method where players hit two shots on every hole and only play the better one. The twist? You don’t know which one will matter until after you hit both. It creates real pressure, forces consistency, and still keeps pace of play moving. It’s one of their favorite ways to simulate tournament‑style focus.
    Mental Skills: Competing With Yourself
    The episode closes with a discussion on mental toughness. Playing “best ball against yourself” is a powerful way to sharpen focus and eliminate insecurity. Jeff and John remind golfers that the biggest enemy on the course isn’t the swing — it’s the fear of looking bad. The cure? Commit to good shots, stay present, and stop trying to impress anyone.
