CleanAre You Sure You're Ready to Take The Next Shot? with Jim Waldron | GS#319 Jim Waldron of Balance Point Golf Schools returns to warn us that if your set up is not right, then your ball striking is doomed. He shares a story of one of his students who was absolutely convinced that he had a thorough knowledge of ball striking based on watching YouTube videos, but Jim immediately noticed that he was aiming 30 degrees to the right of the target. In the past, Jim has discussed the mind/body connection and mental game, but he wanted us to make sure that he's actually deeply committed to teaching mechanics too. This is part 1 of our time with Jim. He returns for a Members Only episode for another 40 minutes . It's only $15 to Join GOLF SMARTER For Members Only!

CleanLearning the Perfect Pitch Leads to More Gimmes with Chris Fry | GS#317 Chris Fry caught my eye as a regular contributor to the Dixon Golf Newsletter. In this conversation we discuss what it is about Dixon's eco-friendly golf balls that appeal to his game and how a golfer can select a ball that will compliment theirs.

CleanImproving Your Critical Point of Impact with Martin Chuck | GS#315 Striking the ball properly is all about the the point of impact. It’s nearly impossible to modify our swing mechanics on our own, but when you understand the club face position at contact with the ball, you will become a better ball striker. Martin Chuck, PGA, is also the inventor of the very popular Tour Striker, one of the best (based on listener feedback) and most effective training tools you can ever try. If you’ve ever seen the infomercial, you know the selling points. In this half hour interview with host Fred Greene, Martin discusses how most amateurs sweep, flip or pick at the ball instead of understanding how to get their hands in the correct position for quality impact. Practicing with a Tour Striker does that better than any tool I've ever tried. Martin also shatters some classic cliches we all repeat but don’t understand, like “slow down your backswing”, “swing easy”, and “hit down to make it go up”. Want to ask Martin a question about an issue you're having? Click on the Hey Fred button at GolfSmarter.com.

CleanWhy You Don't Swing Like the Pros and How to Change It | GS#311 The Physics Department of Yale University has confirmed what John Novasel has been preaching for years. The single most consistent element of the best golfers ever is their 3:1 ratio of backswing to downswing. Tour Tempo is a book, total game training app (iOS, Android, WebOS), microplayer (available in the Golfers' Mart) and a golf school. John joins host Fred Greene in part 1 of this 2 part conversation to discuss the newest book "Tour Tempo 2: The Short Game and Beyond", This vital information is proof that there is a different tempo for shots inside 100 yards.

CleanThe Perfect Swing is the One You Trust with Dr. Glen Albaugh | GS#309 Dr. Glen Albaugh discusses the best ways to utilize your practice and/or warm up time. Pearls of wisdom include "contingency practice" which is a methodolgy he learned from his best friend, Bill Walsh. How's this concept? "Conservative strategy; Aggressive swing". He also suggests that if you don't have a lot of time to warm up on the range, then just pretend that you are playing the first four holes so you aren't surprised when you get there. His suggestions for what to do focus on during practice are: 1. Technique, 2. Practice Like you Play, 3. Trust your swing.

CleanHow Custom Club Fitting will Improve Your Game with Tom Wishon | GS#301 Who really benefits from you buying new clubs to keep up with technology? Custom fit clubs are vitally important to lower scores! Tom Wishon, author, spokesperson, and leading advocate on the art & value of custom club fitting wants every golfer to understand why. "Once I get better, I'll get fitted for clubs" is absolutely the wrong approach. You'll get better once you have clubs that are designed for you and give you more confidence. Also, don't think that you'll pay more for a custom set. Not only is price comparable, you won't have a need to change clubs every few years. Because of USGA restrictions, manufacturers can't make significant alterations. More money is spent on advertising than R&D, it's all repackaging. For more Tom has written some great books, including "The Search For The Perfect Golf Club" WishonGolf.com Next week, for Members Only, Tom returns with more insights on how we're being brainwashed by big ad budgets and high profile spokespeople.

Best of the Bunch!
I have recently gotten into playing golf, so I thought that I would look around to see if there were any interesting golf podcasts to listen to, and boy did I find one (two!) here. Of all the golf podcasts that I came across "Golf Smarter" and "Golf Better" were the best audio podcasts by far. The host is excellent, the guests are incredible and the discussions are interesting and valuable. Kudos Fred! You've got a couple of definate winners! I look forward to continuing to expand my golf knowledge by continuing to listen to your podcasts.
Amazing Podcast. I must for golfers.
Give it a listen, I guarantee you won't be disappointed. Fred does a great job with this podcast. He covers things that most golfers don't think about. Things like the mental side of the game and course management. Things that we should all pay attention too, but probably don't. This podcast has inspired me to concentrate as much on the mental side of my games as I do on the physical. I made a course request and Fred was more than happy to do it. Great guy with a great podcast.
AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
great for golfers i love this podcast
