  • 220: Quit Caring About What Clubs You Play

    Learn why you should quit caring about what clubs you play to get the most out of your game.

    Don't forget, even sponsored professionals don't always have 14 club contracts. The point? Play the clubs that are right for you.

    That means playing the right brands - which is a mixed set. You don't need to play all Titleist, Ping, Callaway, etc... play the clubs that are right for you!

    Plus, play the right type of clubs - whether it's graphite shafts, adding a new hybrid, a draw-bias driver, or something else.

  • 219: Jacob Letman - How to Dominate 2-Man Golf Tournaments

    Do you want to play in golf tournaments, but not sure if you're ready for a solo event yet? If so, 2-man events are a great way to get your feet wet and experience tournament golf.

    In the past four years I've played in tons of 2-man events including scrambles, best balls, beast balls (a great format), alternate shot, and total scores. Most of these were with my good friend Jacob Letman.

    In this episode, you will learn:

    • The crazy effective 6-6-6 rule.
    • Why attitude is everything in team events.
    • How 2-man competitions can 10X your confidence.
    • The formula for "box breathing" to stay calm under pressure.
    • Why a pre-shot routine is the one thing all good players have in common.
    • Why you need to sometimes "veto" your partner and how to work together as a team.

    And a lot more!

    Make sure to follow Jacob on Instagram for more epic golf tips.

    And don't forget to check out the Tournament Golf Formula if you're ready to get started in competition. In this video training program, I'll walk you through the step-by-step process to finding events, preparing, and performing under pressure.

    Today you'll discover the beauty of tournament golf and stick around to the end to learn the easiest way to get started.

    Some of the benefits of playing in events include:

    • Mix it up to create new memories.
    • Meet new people/liked minded golfers.
    • See golf courses in more challenging + best conditions.
    • Figure out how to self-assess your swing - no one is coming to save you.
    • Learn which part of your game needs the most work so you can practice with purpose.
    • Build mental toughness and understand the role of the mental game to thrive under pressure.

    If this feels overwhelming don't worry I've simplified the process. After playing in more than 200 tournament days I want to help you speed up success which is why I created the Tournament Golf Formula.

    This online training program has more than 40 bite sized lessons to help you learn how to sign up for events, how to prepare, how to play your best, mental tips, and more tips from first hand experience.

  • REPLAY: How a Short Game Routine Can Save 3-5 Shots Every Round

    If you're like most golfers chances are you have a pre-shot routine but what about a short game routine?

    Here's the thing... to play your best golf, you NEED to master your routines around the greens. Otherwise, you're giving up tons of strokes by letting nerves, doubt, and fear get in the way.

    But if you watch the best golfers in the world you will notice their short game routine is NOTHING like their long game. This is why it's crucial to develop a short game routine that will help you with chipping/pitching.

  • 212: Dr. Bob Rotella's Simple Advice for Reading Greens

    >>Get my FREE guide to become a consistent and clutch here.

    Learn how to read greens quickly so you can have confidence standing over the golf ball (and make more putts).

    As Dr. Bob Rotella said, "I like to see players make their reads fairly quickly. Once in a while, with a long putt on a modern green that has some artificial humps, tiers, and ridges, it may be advisable to walk around a putt and see it from both sides of the hole.

    Do it only if you're certain that you're trying to find a way to get the ball in the hole, not looking for reasons why that's going to be hard to do."
