What a great live lesson Friday we had this morning! Great attendance, great interaction, and just a fast paced ride to improving your grip among other things.  Mastering your golf swing is just like mastering anything else. And I got reminded of it when my wife and I started dance lessons this week.  I'm no dancer, and it put me in that space that you'll be in when you finally decide to...

The 3 previous episodes were about the 3 myths of golf improvement.  Today I wanted to summarize all 3 and add the 4 pillars of success in improving your game.  Thanks for checking it out! Craig

Have you ever heard that when it comes to improving your game you have get worse before you better? These days we only hear about quick fixes.  But there's a good reason that old school prevailing thought was that you have to get worse before you get better.  It's all explained in today's podcast along with the exact way you can ensure you can go through any swing change without ever hav...

The driving range is NOT where you fix your swing.  The driving range is where you hit 200 balls with 7 different swing thoughts.  On the driving range, a lot of players wonder... Am I crazy or is this not doing any good at all? You're not crazy! There are 2 big problems on the range.  The first is that nobody will do the small swing work that's required to make big swing changes at...

Today's episode is a little different.  I recorded a video about how you need to walk before you run to make the big changes.  It means learning good motion with small, slow swings before building it into your full swing at full speed.  The video I recorded got a little long - 8 minute or so. And it was a pretty in depth explanation of the concept of starting small and slow and buil...

Today's episode dives deep into one of our favorite topics: the grip. Ever heard of a strong grip? Well, if your handicap's over 12, you might want to listen up. Picture that neutral grip—yeah, that V between your thumb and forefinger? Let's make sure it's pointed in the right direction. And hey, weak grip creep? It's real, and it leads to trouble. So, members, time to check that grip. Not a membe...

Stage 1: Starting with Zero Knowledge: This is  where every golfer begins, knowing nothing about the technicalities of the game. Stage 2: Getting Stuck in Online Programs and YouTube: Next comes the phase where you might find yourself endlessly scrolling through online lesson programs and watching countless YouTube tutorials. While these resources can boost your confidence temporarily, they o...

Craig recounts a conversation with an experienced golfer who offered a simple yet profound insight into improving his swing.

I'm pumped to be back on the podcast, and what better way to kick things off than by talking about transformation. You know, that feeling of looking in the mirror and barely recognizing yourself because you've crushed your goals? That's what I'm going for, not just with my own health (hence the 75 Hard challenge I'm starting - wish me luck!), but also with your golf game. Now, I know what you're t...

In this episode, Craig delves into a topic that many golfers can relate to—the importance of getting a head start on your golf game for future success. We often make the mistake of thinking that the issues we're facing right now are solely a result of our current actions. However, in golf and life, there's a lag time, typically ranging from 60 to 120 days, before our present efforts bear fruit. Cr...

Craig kicks off the podcast by debunking the myth that improving your game is a Herculean task.

This is something that is missed in so many lesson programs. They just don't talk about the process of making a swing change. And if you don't know the process, you're going to get derailed over and over and over because bumps in the road are going to come up that are 100% predictable.  But if you don't understand the process, you'll think there's something wrong with you when in fact, what y...

If you heard part 1 (the previous episode), you understand things that most players never do like... Why MOST time spent on the range is a waste... AND... Why ball flight can be a distraction and seeing ball flight while practicing can actually SLOW or STOP your progress.  Those things are 100% true.  But today I want to qualify the statement that the range is a waste of time.  Beca...

Too many players end up "dabbling" with improving their game instead of taking real action.  If your handicap is over 12, the skill you have to learn to unlock the effortless power that's inside of you is the skill of swinging your downswing path from the inside and making a full forearm rollover release through and after impact.  And it CAN be learned.  But sadly the VAST majority...
