#977 Summary Our guest this week is Anthony McCarthy, a golf coach based in Spain, about the importance of finding the right coach, and the need for personalized instruction. We discuss the relationship between coaches and players, the challenges of golf coaching, and the future of golf instruction. Anthony emphasizes the significance of trust in coaching and the necessity of tailoring instruction to individual players' needs.
