In this episode of Your Golf Performance Podcast, I sit down with Jason Baile — one of the most respected coaches in world golf and the PGA of America National Teacher & Coach of the Year. Jason has built a reputation not only as a world-class instructor, but as a trusted advisor, mentor, and leader within the golf community. A member of the PGA’s Quarter Century Club, he brings a rare blend of technical expertise, emotional intelligence, and real-world experience gained from decades of coaching at the highest level. In this conversation, we explore what truly separates the best players in the world — like Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy — from those fighting to keep their card, and why the margins at the elite level are far smaller than most people realise

In this episode, Brent sits down with Nick Chertock — an accountant by trade, lifelong mid-handicap golfer, and one of the most influential non-coaches in the golf instruction world. As co-founder of Open Forum, Nick has spent the last 10–20 years immersed in conversations with some of the best golf coaches on the planet, asking the questions many golfers and coaches never think to ask. Despite not being a touring professional or teaching full-time, Nick has become a trusted connector, discussion starter, and advocate for smarter golf improvement. In this conversation, Brent and Nick dive into what Nick has learned from decades of observing elite coaches, whether all that knowledge has actually improved his own golf game, and the dangers of information overload for both golfers and instructors. They also share behind-the-scenes stories from time spent around world-class coaches, explore how great coaches filter information differently, and discuss where golf instruction is heading next. This episode is a must-listen for golfers and coaches who want to cut through the noise, think more clearly, and improve with intention rather than overwhelm.

This episode is a little different — and that’s exactly why I wanted to do it.
Today I’m joined by Jimmy Emanuel, a golf journalist, commentator, and podcaster who’s worked across Golf Australia magazines and spent years talking with some of Australia’s best golfers.
Rather than coaching swing mechanics or tour prep, this conversation pulls back the curtain on how golf stories are told — and what players, parents, and coaches can learn from the media side of the game. We talk about:

• How Jimmy got into golf journalism and commentary
• What he’s learned from interviewing elite Australian golfers
• What separates players who “make it” from those who don’t — from a journalist’s perspective
• How golf media has changed with podcasts, social media, and digital platforms
• How junior golfers and parents should think about media, storytelling, and the bigger golf ecosystem
• The realities (and misconceptions) of working in golf media

This is a behind-the-scenes look at the game from someone who doesn’t coach or play professionally — but has seen the sport from angles most golfers never experience. If you’re a junior golfer, parent, coach, or just someone curious about how golf really works beyond the ropes, this episode will give you a fresh perspective.

In this episode of the Your Golf Performance Podcast, I’m joined by one of the most exciting young talents in golf, Mia Hammond, who made headlines by winning on the Epson Tour as an amateur while still a teenager. We dive deep into what that week really felt like, how competing — and winning — against professionals changed her mindset, and what happened when she returned to regular junior events afterward. Did junior golf suddenly feel easier, or did new pressures emerge? Mia shares honest insights into how she practices, how she handles nerves under pressure, and what she believes mattered most in her development as a junior golfer. We also talk about the role her dad played in her journey, how parents can best support their kids without adding pressure, and the lessons she’s learned along the way. The conversation finishes with Mia’s college commitment, the challenges she expects moving into college golf, how she’s preparing for the next level, and her advice for junior golfers chasing big goals. This is a must-listen episode for junior golfers, parents, and coaches who want real-world insight into elite junior development, competing under pressure, and what it truly takes to move to the next level.

In this episode of Your Golf Performance Podcast, I’m joined by Ryan Smith, coach at the Sea Island Golf Performance Center, to dive deep into what it really takes to develop elite junior golfers. Ryan breaks down the structure of his Player Development Program, including how many hours juniors should be training each week and how to balance technical work, fitness, mental training, and on-course play. We discuss the key differences between players who win events and those who consistently struggle to make cuts, and the habits elite performers build that others simply don’t. We also explore the importance of competitive practice vs block practice, what Ryan learns most from watching his players compete on course, and the common mental and physical mistakes young golfers make under pressure. Ryan shares practical travel tips for tournaments, insights into strength and fitness development, and how he builds accountability and ownership in young players. Finally, we tackle a topic many parents will relate to — how to coach juniors who have access to everything but may lack work ethic or intrinsic motivation, and what parents should realistically expect when their child enters a long-term development program. This episode is a must-listen for junior golfers, parents, and coaches looking to understand what truly drives high-level performance.

In this Wednesday Wisdom episode, we break down goal setting that actually works. Most golfers have goals — very few have a plan.
I walk you through the three types of goals every player needs, why most goals fail, and how to turn big ambitions into daily actions you can control.
We also tackle one of the biggest traps in improvement: waiting for Monday or January 1. Progress doesn’t start on a perfect date — it starts when you decide to rip in now.
If you’re serious about getting better, this episode is your reminder to stop waiting and start doing.

In this episode of The Your Golf Performance Podcast, I sit down with Australian golf legend Steve Allan, fresh off an incredible season with three wins on the PGA Tour Champions. We dive into Steve’s early days in golf, the practice habits that shaped his career, and what he learned from spending decades competing alongside the world’s best players. Steve opens up about handling nerves under pressure, including insights from his European Tour win and his memorable Australian Open victory. We also explore how Steve has adapted his training, practice, and fitness from his 40s into his 50s to remain competitive at the highest level — and what finally clicked to allow him to win multiple times on the Champions Tour. To finish, Steve shares a rare and honest look at raising his sons who are now becoming high-level golfers, including how he’s guided their development, managed expectations, and balanced being a dad with his experience as a tour professional. This episode is packed with timeless lessons on longevity, practice, mindset, and performance — whether you’re a junior golfer, parent, coach, or lifelong student of the game.

In today’s Wednesday Wisdom, we dive into putting distances and what you should realistically expect to make—because most golfers dramatically overestimate how many putts they “should” hole. We break down the PGA Tour make percentages from common distances and show you why even the best players in the world don’t make everything outside short range. Understanding these numbers can instantly change how you react to missed putts and help you build a healthier mindset on the greens.
You can stop beating yourself up over misses from outside your “money zone” and start focusing on speed control, start line, and high-quality practice that actually moves the needle. Better expectations → better mindset → better putting.

In this episode of the Your Golf Performance Podcast, Brent sits down with Daniel Popovic — the 2012 Australian PGA Champion whose career took one of the most unique turns in professional golf. After capturing one of Australia’s biggest titles as a young pro, Daniel experienced the highs of elite competition, the challenges of life on tour, and ultimately made the courageous decision to step away from professional golf and build a new career in the corporate world.
Daniel shares openly about what it really takes to win at the highest level, the habits and traits he saw in the game’s best players, the loneliness and mental battles of tour life, and the moment he realised it was time to move on.
He also breaks down what juniors need to know about chasing the dream, how parents can better support their kids, and the powerful life skills golf taught him that now drive his success off the course. A raw, honest, and inspiring conversation with someone who has truly lived it — from breakthrough victory, to adversity, to redefining success.

In this week’s Wednesday Wisdom, Brent tackles the most confusing scoring zone in golf — the dreaded 50–100 metre “No Man’s Land.” Most golfers guess at these shots… and that guesswork is costing them strokes every round. Brent breaks down a simple, tour-proven system built around your four wedges — pitching wedge, gap wedge, sand wedge, and lob wedge. You’ll learn how to develop three stock swings for each club — half, 75%, and full — and how to record your carry distances so you never stand over a wedge feeling unsure again. By the end of this episode, you’ll know how to build your own Wedge Matrix, a personalised chart that shows exactly how far each wedge flies with each swing length. This is one of the fastest ways to lower scores and take the mystery out of your distance wedges. If you’ve ever stood in “No Man’s Land” and hoped for the best… this episode will give you a plan you can trust.
