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.

Tony sits down with legendary instructor Jim McLean — back and doing well after a serious health scare earlier this year — for a wide-ranging conversation covering his new book Houston Dynasty (on the golf powerhouse that produced Fuzzy Zeller, Bill Rogers, John Mahaffey, and more), the evolution of his X-Factor philosophy ahead of X-Factor 2, and stories from his mentors Jackie Burke, Ken Venturi, and Jimmy Ballard.

A great conversation about the body's role in the golf swing, teaching tour players versus recreational golfers, and what it means to mentor the next generation of coaches.
