In this episode, Jon and Adam tackle two difficult questions golfers wrestle with all the time. First, they dig into why trying not to think about your score often backfires - and how understanding scoring ranges, perspective, and better mental “redirects” can quiet the obsession without pretending it doesn’t exist. Then they break down the real pros and cons of online versus in-person lessons, including when remote coaching can actually outperform local instruction.

As we enter the fall season, many golfers will be looking to upgrade their indoor practice. I've been trusting The Indoor Golf Shop for years and recommending them to anyone who wants to improve their home setup.

They offer all the top launch monitor brands, including SkyTrak, Uneekor, and Foresight, and regularly run sales. They also have everything you need for your indoor practice - hitting mats, golf nets, impact screens, and custom enclosures.

If you're looking for a custom residential build to have the simulator of your dreams, their team can make that happen. They built mine! And their designers can also handle any kind of commercial facility where you're building from scratch or want to make an upgrade.
