GSfMO#389 June 18, 2013- John Grund, PGA says that you CAN become a better putter, it’s a learnable behavior! John sticks around for another hour of our conversation on Vector Putting. Of course you realize that every scorecard automatically gives you 2 putts for each hole.

John’s theory of STAG putting is covered in detail. S=speed  T=Two feet & straight  A=Aim  G=Green Reading. This Members Only episode recaps and embellishes on “S”, then goes into depth with the final three elements. John closes with the 3 simple things that it takes to be a better golfer.Visit tourstriker.com/TSGA and use the code GOLFSMARTER to get your first month of the Tour Striker GolfAcademy Online free, plus instant access to two bonus courses—'The Recipe for Better Golf' and 'Bombs: How to Consistently Smash the Driver”: a $194 value for free.This episode is brought to you by PXG.

GSfMO#387 June 4, 2013: John “Lag” Erickson returns for a Members Only episode to break down his teaching method of improving your swing from impact backwards. We also discuss why bifurcation should be in place so that the USGA and the Tour have different rules. John feels very strongly that it all started going downhill when they allowed metal clubs instead of woods. We get into a deeper conversation about why he thinks everyone would play much better if they knew how to hit with persimmon woods. Strategy is also a very important topic when we discuss how to play better and lower your scores. Once you learn how to hit straight and become a better ball striker, then strategy, or course management, becomes critically important.  For more, check out AdvancedBallStriking.com.Get more when your visit the refreshed golfsmarter.com!
