LIV Golf might be heading toward a funding cliff, and that forces a question nobody can dodge: where do all these world-class players go if the current model changes after 2026? We talk through the ripple effects, from fewer PGA Tour starts and the rise of signature events to what a more global schedule could look like under new leadership with an NFL growth mindset.

Then we pivot from the tour drama to the part of golf that actually changes your score tomorrow: course management and putting. We break down why “bad course management” usually isn’t a single bad swing, it’s the decision to aim at every flag. The best players pick smarter targets, accept 15 to 20 feet, and let good misses look great.

From there, we go full putting nerd and make it usable. You’ll hear the case for the one-foot-past rule, what TrackMan’s 1.62 mph entry speed really implies, and why dying putts can lose their roll and get knocked offline by crowning, footprints, or grain. We also cover why long putts rarely drop, how face angle tolerance tightens with distance, and why putter fit (loft, attack angle, arc, toe hang, forgiveness) matters more than chasing perfect “zero” numbers.

We close with simple practice you can actually stick to: a mirror check for eye line and aim, a tee cross drill at 3, 6, 9, and 12 feet to build pressure, and a lag putting target built around a 10% leave zone. Subscribe for next week, share this with a buddy who hates straight putts, and leave a review with your biggest putting miss and why you think it happens.

Your short game doesn’t fall apart because you “need more touch.” It falls apart because the lie changes, friction changes, and most golfers keep trying to hit the same shot anyway. We bring back the energy from a great golf trip, talk through the Masters hangover, and then get brutally practical about what actually helps you score when conditions are real and time is limited.

We start with the stuff that quietly shapes your whole season: public golf pace, why walking often speeds things up, and the small habits that keep rounds moving. From there, we zoom out into why so many players avoid golf lessons, even though they want to improve. Bad diagnosis creates bad trust, and the old “get worse before you get better” sales pitch doesn’t hold up when you’re paying for results. We also explain why measurement tools like force plates can reveal the invisible parts of the swing that guessing can’t.

The main course is short game. We break down how dew and wet grass reduce friction, why that makes high-loft shots unpredictable, and when a bump with less loft is the percentage play. We cover low point control, arc depth, using bounce, creating a path that works left to manage speed, and the right-hand feels that keep the face from shutting and producing those hot jumpers. We finish with high, soft pitch ideas, bunker strategy for both short-sided and longer shots, and simple drills you can take straight to the practice area.

If you want more clarity around the greens and better decisions under pressure, subscribe, share this with a golf buddy who lives in the bunker, and leave us a review. What short game shot costs you the most strokes right now?

We’re recording from Chattanooga, Tennessee, and the setting is perfect for a conversation about what golf instruction looks like when you stop guessing and start measuring. After watching members and staff react to a live force plate presentation from Michael , we dig into why ground reaction forces and pressure data can change a golf swing fast without the usual spiral of positions, planes, and swing jargon. When you can see the pressure, forces and torques, you can coach the real problem.

We break down two foundational concepts that drive everything else: point of application and line of pressure. If you’re fighting early extension, inconsistent contact, or a swing that feels like it has a thousand moving parts, this framework gives you something simple to audit right away. From there, we connect the dots to speed: why the backswing is essentially “done” by P3, how the kinematic sequence works (pelvis, torso, arms, club), and how timing and braking forces create the conditions for a stable face-to-path relationship.

Then we apply it to real shots. Chuck shows up with a driver that’s leaking weak-right even though the path is already right, and the fix isn’t a grip change or a wrist cue. It’s a better brake, better pressure into the lead side, and letting the clubhead work on the arc. If you want more clubhead speed, more reliable ball flight, and fewer swing thoughts, this is the roadmap.
