Inside the episode, I cover:
1. Why swing improvement alone isn’t enough A better movement gives you potential, but s...
Why do so many golfers practise, take lessons, watch videos and buy new equipment, yet still struggle to improve?
In the first episode of Divot: The Golf Performance Podcast, PGA Fellow Professional Steve Thomas explores why most golfers aren't short of information, they're short of a clear process. Discover the difference between practising and simply hitting balls, and learn the framework that creates las...
