Golf Smarter Mulligans
Golf’s all-time best selling instructional books* were published in 1957 and 1992, proving that great golf instruction never gets old. That’s why we've introduced Golf Smarter Mulligans, your second chance to gain insights and advice from the best instructors featured on the golfer’s podcast, Golf Smarter. Each week we’re going to re-release an archived interview from more than nine years of episodes that are no longer available. No penalty for the second time around! As we’ve shared since 2005, “All the Pros agree, to lower your scores and increase your golf IQ, you need to Golf Smarter!” * “Ben Hogan’s Five Lessons: The Modern Fundamentals of Golf” (1957) & “Harvey Penick's Little Red Book: Lessons And Teachings From A Lifetime In Golf” (1992) This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/3464073/advertisement
