The Sweet Spot - Golf Podcast

What Golfers Get Wrong About Consistency


Listen Later

In this episode, we take a deep dive into one of golf’s most misunderstood words: consistency. Adam and Jon unpack why consistency is not about making the exact same swing every time, but rather learning how to manage variability, improve impact patterns, and build bigger margins for error.


They discuss why golfers often make themselves less consistent by trying to control too much, and how external focus, differential practice, smarter strategy, and better expectations can all help. If you’ve ever wondered why your good shots and bad shots can show up in random order, this episode will give you a much clearer framework for understanding what consistency really means in golf.

Golfers who care about their game should care about taking care of their bodies too. The Good Stuff from For Wellness is a small scoop that can be added to coffee, smoothies, or protein shakes, with ingredients like collagen for joint support, L-theanine for focus, MCTs for energy, cinnamon for antioxidants, and Himalayan salt for minerals and electrolytes. For Wellness conducted an IRB-approved study showing up to an 85% reduction in joint stiffness in 60 days, and the brand has over 12,000 five-star reviews. Sweet Spot listeners can get the best price on a 90-day subscription and welcome kit at ⁠⁠forwellness.com/sweetspot⁠⁠ with promo code SWEETSPOT for an extra 10% off.

Most golfers don’t need more swing thoughts — they need better feedback on impact. That’s what I like about Strike Wedge: it’s a simple, portable training aid that helps you work on the three things that matter most for better ball striking — low point control, path, and strike location. You can use towels, bottles, and other DIY setups for some of this, but Strike Wedge puts it all into one tool that fits in your golf bag and makes your practice more organized. If you’re trying to improve your contact without overcomplicating your swing, this is a smart training aid to check out. Go to http://strikewedge.com/sweetspot to get 15% off

Rhoback makes some of the best golf apparel we’ve worn. Their polos are incredibly comfortable with moisture-wicking fabric, plenty of stretch, and a crisp collar that works on and off the course. They're got a couple of new releases for spring - the Highlands Hoodie—lightweight with great mobility for golf—and the Brookline Vest, a perfect layering piece for cooler tee times. Get 20% off your first order ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://rhoback.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ using promo code SWEET.

As the weather gets warmer, staying properly hydrated on the golf course becomes even more important. LMNT’s new Lemonade Iced Tea flavor combines electrolytes, magnesium, and potassium with no sugar or questionable sports drink ingredients, plus caffeine from black tea extract for a steadier energy boost. Because the caffeine comes from tea, it’s naturally paired with L-theanine and polyphenols, which can feel smoother than the spike-and-crash effect of many energy drinks. For golfers looking for hydration and a little back-nine energy, this is a great option to try. With any purchase you're going to get a free sample pack.
