Senior To Scratch Golf Show

Sports EN ↓ 33 episodes

My upcoming golf journey in my 50's, where my winter 2024 index is around 5.0 and my goal is to get to scratch handicap.  For once in my golfing life, I'm not going to rely on hope to improve my game. I will introduce my improvement strategies, ranging from fitness & nutrition to mental game to practice plans (offseason and in-season). I hope others will get some useful insight into their game, as well.

Episode 8 - Because You Had a Bad Day 01.05.2024

7 months of preparation - nutrition, fitness, simulator time, and mental game. Now, the rubber hits the road on the golf course as the snow melted (it has since returned). Follow my ups and mostly downs over the first two rounds, takeaways, and some cool Google Earth images of golf courses that anyone can put together for their own course. Please visit my YouTube channel for the visuals discussed...

Episode 7 - You Oughta Know (Expectations) 21.04.2024

How often do you watch golf on TV, and no matter how far they hit from, they are knocking it to 3 feet. Well, these are the best shots of the best players having their best weeks. I will add a bit of realism to the equation, where I will talk about my shot distribution and then the average PGA tour pro, as I realize that I'm not really that bad. Managing expectations will be the key to remain...

Episode 6 - You can make it if you try 14.04.2024

Now that the Masters Sunday winner is a foregone conclusion, it's time to get serious about my own game. What makes Scottie special - he has all the skill and doesn't make as many glaring mistakes as his competitors. That's what I want to strive towards. This episode talks to the specific areas of the practice plan with the very limited amount of time that I have to practice. By foc...

Episode 3 - I Want a New Drug, One that Keeps me Young 16.03.2024

This episode focuses on supplements as we age, to build on the previous episode on food and nutrition. I go through my supplementation and what the benefits of each are.  I discuss how I evaluate whether to take them or not. I go from commonly known supplements to more obscure ones. Please consult your doctor for before making any changes to your regime. Music credit: Time Slips By - Go By Ocean_R...

Episode 2 - What's Food Got To Do With It (Got To Do With It)? 09.03.2024

The food that we put in our bodies is likely the most important factor in health, and therefore body function. When trying to improve in golf, millimeters of club face matter, and hence any nagging inflammation from improper food intake will impact on-course performance. Join me as I introduce some concepts of what to eat, when to eat, and what to get tested for to maintain your golf goals well pa...

Episode 1 - Let's plan on getting to scratch from a 5 index 04.03.2024

Provide a brief introduction to myself, Paul Nayyar. When did I start this silly sport? What did I do to get better in the past (hint: not much)? What facets am I looking to improve to shave 5 shots off of my index this year? Future episodes will highlight my personal plan and, once the season starts in cold Canada, provide insights into my progress. Music credit: Time Slips By - Go By Ocean_Ryan...
