In this week's Wednesday Wisdom, I discuss the art of getting better at golf and why improvement starts with understanding where your game really sits. I break down how many greens in regulation golfers of different handicap levels typically hit, and why having realistic benchmarks can help you focus your practice on the areas that matter most. I also dive into the importance of slowing down your breathing on the golf course and how controlling your breathing can help settle your nerves, improve decision-making, and ultimately lead to better golf shots. Finally, I discuss one of the most valuable skills in golf: the ability to take a mental reset between shots. Bad holes and poor shots happen to everyone, but the players who avoid the downhill spiral are often the ones who can reset, refocus, and move forward without carrying frustration to the next shot. If you're serious about improving your golf, this episode will give you practical strategies you can start using immediately.

This week on the Your Golf Performance Podcast, I sit down with PGA Professional and Head Teaching Professional art Long Reef Golf Club, Michael Infanti. Michael's coaching philosophy is simple: "Simplicity is Key." After completing his PGA traineeship at Penrith Golf Club and spending time playing professional golf, he found his true passion in coaching. Since joining Long Reef Golf Club in 2016, Michael has built one of the strongest junior and women's golf programs on Sydney's Northern Beaches while helping golfers of all levels improve their games. In this episode, we discuss:

• Why simplicity is so important when coaching golf
• The biggest mistakes club golfers make
• What separates elite players from the average golfer
• Building confidence and improving performance on the golf course
• Practice habits that actually lead to improvement
• Lessons learned from coaching beginners through to elite players

We also dive into Michael's incredible personal story. Over the past decade, Michael has battled T-LGL Leukemia, and just 12 months ago was diagnosed with stomach cancer that rapidly progressed to Stage 4. After intensive chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and major surgery that saw his entire stomach and part of his bowel removed, Michael is now cancer-free and in remission. His story is one of resilience, perspective, gratitude, and determination. Michael shares the challenges he faced, the mindset that carried him through the toughest moments of his life, and how the experience has changed the way he approaches golf, coaching, and life itself. This is a powerful conversation about golf, adversity, and finding purpose through life's biggest challenges. 🎙️ Listen now and be inspired by one of golf's great coaches and an even better person.

Wednesday Wisdom: "Swing Your Swing" – The Most Misunderstood Advice in Golf.
One of the most common phrases you'll hear in golf is, "Just swing your swing."And to a point, I understand what people mean.
When you look at the best players in the world, not everybody swings the club the same way. Jim Furyk, Matthew Wolff, Bubba Watson, Scottie Scheffler – they all have movements that look unique.
But here's what most golfers miss...Those players have spent decades building those swings. They've hit millions of golf balls. They've learned exactly how to time those movements and make them repeatable under pressure.
The average golfer doesn't have that luxury.Most golfers work 40 or 50 hours a week. They might get to the range once or twice and play on the weekend. They simply don't have 100 hours every week to perfect compensations and unusual movement patterns.That's why I don't fully agree with the advice of "just swing your swing."For most golfers, the goal shouldn't be to make a flawed motion work.
The goal should be to build a motion that requires less timing, less compensation, and less practice to produce a reasonable result.
Good golf swings aren't necessarily about looking pretty.They're about putting the club in functional positions often enough that when you arrive at the first tee on Saturday morning, you've got a chance.
Because enjoyment comes from hitting some decent shots.It comes from seeing the ball fly roughly where you intended.It comes from not standing over every shot wondering whether today's timing is going to show up.Tour players can get away with unusual movements because they've invested years into owning them.Most amateurs are far better served by developing sound fundamentals.
Better grip.
Better setup.
Better clubface control.
Better impact conditions.
Those things don't make golf easy, but they make golf more predictable.And for most golfers, predictable golf is enjoyable golf.So instead of "swing your swing," maybe the better advice is:Build a swing that works when life gets busy.Build a swing that still functions after a long week at work.
Build a swing that doesn't require perfect timing. Build a swing that lets you enjoy the game more often.
Because at the end of the day, that's what most golfers are really chasing.

Aron Price: PGA Tour Life, Identity Beyond Golf & A Second Shot at the U.S. Open What happens when your dream comes true… and then it ends? This week on the Your Golf Performance Podcast, Brent sits down with former PGA Tour player Aron Price to discuss the highs and lows of professional golf, the challenge of building an identity beyond the game, and his incredible journey from the PGA Tour to a successful career in real estate.

• Lessons learned from success and failure

In this Wednesday Wisdom episode, I dive into one of the biggest separators between average golfers and players who actually improve long term — investing in yourself.I reference LIV Golf winner Lucas Herbert and how, after earning one of his first big paydays in professional golf, he immediately reinvested into his career by surrounding himself with the right team: coaches, physios, fitness trainers, and mental performance support.
Too many golfers say they want to improve, yet they continue to guess their way through practice, avoid the uncomfortable work, and spend more time doing what feels good instead of what actually moves the needle.In this episode, I talk about:

• Why the best players in the world treat golf like a performance lifestyle
• Planning practice with purpose instead of just beating balls
• Golf-specific gym work and recovery
• Nutrition and hydration habits that impact performance
• The value of coaching and understanding that improvement isn’t always instant
• Why working on weaknesses matters more than feeding your ego

If golf is your main passion, hobby, or dream — start acting like the players you admire. The clues are already there. Copy greatness

This week on the Your Golf Performance Podcast, Brent sits down with Australian tour professional Lucas Herbert — a winner on five different professional tours around the world and a recent LIV Golf winner — for an in-depth conversation about what it truly takes to compete at the highest level of golf. Lucas shares insights into how his practice changes between tournament weeks and off-season improvement phases, the non-negotiables he believes elite players must have, and the habits that separate the best players in the world from those simply trying to keep their card. The conversation also dives into mental performance coaching, pressure, gym work, nutrition, and how tour professionals manage the demands of elite competition. Lucas also shares valuable advice for ambitious junior golfers and parents trying to help young players chase the dream of professional golf.

This week on the Your Golf Performance Podcast, I sit down with elite club fitter Alex Dudley-Bateman to dive deep into the world of tour-level club fitting and equipment performance. We discuss what the best players in Australia are looking for in their drivers, irons, wedges and putters, including launch, spin, peak height, landing angles and the numbers that really matter at the elite level. Alex shares what separates great ball strikers from average golfers, how tour players approach equipment decisions, and whether the best players are actually as fussy with clubs as people think. We also chat about Scotty Cameron putter fitting, golf ball fitting, the biggest mistakes amateurs make with equipment, and what it’s really like working around some of the best players in the country under pressure. If you love golf equipment, performance data, or simply want to understand how the best players optimise their game, this episode is packed with insights.
