Wednesday Wisdom — When to Upgrade Your Clubs.
Today I talked about the importance of upgrading your equipment at the right time. As your swing changes, your clubs need to match who you are now, not who you were years ago. When to Consider Upgrading

• Distances or ball flight have changed
• Shaft no longer suits your speed
• Same miss keeps showing up
• Wedges have worn grooves

General Timelines

• Driver/Woods: every 2–3 years
• Irons: every 5 years
• Wedges: every 12–18 months
• Putter: If it aint broke - don't fix it!

Bottom line: The right equipment removes compensations and helps you play your best.

Aim for the Bunkers — and yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like! Instead of avoiding the sand, we embraced it.
1️⃣ Hit your normal tee shot.
2️⃣ Pick a bunker around the green you must hit into.
3️⃣ Then challenge yourself to get up-and-down from that exact bunker. It’s a brilliant way to train your bunker skills under real on-course pressure, sharpen your decision-making, and build confidence where most golfers feel the most fear. Turn your weaknesses into strengths — one bunker at a time. 🏖️💪⛳️

In this week’s Wednesday Wisdom, Brent dives into a hard truth: most people say they want to get better — but very few are willing to put in the effort.
He shares a recent story about offering a free golf swing lesson on social media and how not one person followed through once it required a small bit of effort.
It’s a perfect snapshot of the world we live in — one that craves instant results but avoids the work that creates real progress.
Whether you’re trying to improve at golf, business, or life, this episode is a reminder that growth only happens when you lean into effort and inconvenience.

In this episode of Your Golf Performance Podcast, host Brent Dale sits down with Matt Giles — former junior standout, two-time All-American at the University of Southern California, and accomplished Australian amateur-turned-professional.
We explore how Matt transformed his early promise into success in college golf, the lesson-filled transition into the pro ranks, and what separates the aspirational players from those who truly break through.
🎙 What we cover

• Matt’s journey: from a talented teenager in Sydney to dominating college golf at USC.
• Key moments that tested his resolve — the highs of early victory, the challenge of staying consistent at the next level, and the mindset behind it.
• The traits that elite junior golfers need to develop now — beyond swing technique: attitude, resilience, practice quality, competition readiness.
• How Matt evaluates what “makes” top players versus those who plateau — including how juniors and their parents can foster the right culture.
• Practical advice for coaches, parents and junior players: structuring practice, managing expectations, bouncing back from setbacks, and mapping a roadmap for improvement.

🎯 Why listen
If you coach juniors, work with parents who want a clear game-plan, or you’re a junior golfer yourself hungry to make the leap, this conversation with Matt Giles is loaded with real-world insight. Whether you’re striving to win your next tournament, earn a college scholarship, or just become a smarter competitor — Matt’s story gives both inspiration and actionable steps.
