Tony, Jackson Koert, Morgan Hale and Debbie Doniger sit down at a Met PGA teaching summit to talk about the golf tips flooding Instagram and YouTube. They cover why one-off “try this” drills can hurt recreational golfers, the difference between twisting and actually loading into your trail leg, why a good lesson fixes the cause instead of the symptom, and how to tell whether the person posting has ever made anyone better. A useful watch before you try the next drill that shows up in your feed.

Tony sits down with Sean Foley for a candid conversation about what really separates good golf from great. Sean has spent the fall giving leadership talks to corporate audiences, and he explains why he treats every tour player like a business, with a product, a sales force, and a management team.

In this episode:

• Why the word “mental” gets thrown around too easily, and why the real problem is often the swing or the conditions

• A TrackMan example: the same player gained 9.8 strokes in one test and lost 8.5 in another, a 17-shot difference with no change in how the swing looked on video

• Training for variety, such as playing the back, middle, and front tees for score on the same day

• Accepting adversity, with a story about a delayed flight and how that mindset carries over to a bad round

• Why positivity only goes so far, but negativity always hurts

• The “You’re Not As Good As You Think You Are” proximity sheet, and the stories of Hunter Mahan and Kenny Perry

• Why you should compare yourself to the Zach Johnsons of the game, not the Scottie Schefflers

Tony sits down with sports psychologist Dr. Greg Cartin for the mental side of getting better at golf.

They cover practicing more like you play (one ball on the putting green, a new club every shot), why most golfers quit changes too soon, how to build an “acceptable zone of failure” into your round, and why the best players don’t make more birdies, they make fewer errors.

Plus a story about pulling the flags out for nine holes and watching a 9-handicapper shoot 35, and what to do when you feel completely lost.

DewSweepers Radio: Hall of Fame Coach Jim McLean

Oct. 3, 2026

Tony and Jackson Koert kick off the first live session of their new Tour Coach Online program, fielding real-time questions from their group of students.

Topics range from getting the most out of online coaching, to what actually makes a good student (and a good coach), to how tour players like Emilio and Lucas Glover build their practice around just one or two repeatable "feels."

Plus Jackie Burke's classic take on the only three clubs that really matter — driver, wedge, and putter — and how to know when it's actually time to be aggressive on the course versus play it safe.

Tony and longtime collaborator Matt Rudy sit down with Richard Hughes — an optometrist, sports vision researcher, and author of Visual Edge Golf Performance — to unpack something almost nobody talks about in golf instruction: eye dominance.

Richard breaks down "type one" vs. "type two" dominance, why 53% of the best players in the world (including Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods) are cross-dominant compared to just 30% of the general population, and why forcing a player into a "textbook" setup can wreck a swing that their eyes have quietly compensated for over years.

Includes a simple test you can do at home to find your own dominant eye.

Tony and Jackson spend a day at Dutchman's Pipe working with a full slate of tour players headed into Q-school season — Rafa Campos, Ty Gingrich, James Earl, and more — and break down the four things that actually move the needle, for tour pros and weekend golfers alike: dialing in posture and setup, building a real pre-shot process, learning not to react to every miss, and actually understanding what you're working on and why. Plus Colby's "electric fence" drill for fixing early extension, and a great story about keeping junior golf in perspective.

This week Tony is joined by Coach Justin Parsons — mentor to Ben Carr, Brandon Grace, Blades Brown, and Lucas Glover — on a Golf Live discussion to break down how tour players actually build their wedge game.

Forget chasing perfect distances: JP walks through the "15-foot rule" (why even the best players on tour average just 15 feet from the hole inside 150 yards), how to build a wedge system around 5-yard gaps instead of guessing, and the "3 L rule" for reading any short game shot — Lie, Land, Leave.

Plus a great story about a young player learning the hard way that temperature and altitude change everything.
