GS#351 October 2, 2012 Chances are you’ve heard something about the USGA and PGA’s program to speed up the pace of play and make the game more fun for everyone called “Tee It Forward”. Chances are one of the thousands of courses that are participating in the program is near you. But what exactly is Tee It Forward? Well, you’ll be surprised to learn that it’s not just about playing the front tees to embarrass yourself in front of your friends. Barney Adams, entrepreneur, club maker, and founder of Adams Golf came up with this idea and convinced the PGA and USGA of its merit. This is part 1 of 2 in which Barney explains that it’s a really good idea, despite it’s name. In part 2 for Members Only, Fred pushes Barney for more of an explanation and tries to come up with a better name.

GSfMO#346 July 14, 2012 Terry Koehler, our resident Short Game Academy expert talks about the importance of a sound fundamental technique that includes balance, grip, pulling the club and more. He says that you should be proud if someone says you swing like a girl. LPGA players are scoring machines and he thinks that we should all strive to mimic their short game. This has nothing to do with Pink Floyd, but he's a huge advocate of "Hey Teachers (and parents) Leave the Kids Alone!", especially when it comes to golf.  "You have to learn golf from the hole backward, not the tee forward!"

878: Brinson Paolini played professionally in 43 countries after being a collegiate All-American golfer at Duke. One thing he always noticed on the course with pros and amateurs is that when they don’t hydrate or keep their blood sugar levels in check they tend to make poor decisions. We usually blame it on “hitting the wall” or “wheels falling off”. His recognition of this common dilemma lead him to create a product directed at golfers of all skill levels called Sharp Focus Nutrition. They also selected Golf Smarter, because of our interest in helping recreational golfers, to become a sponsor for the next few episodes. Their snack package that attaches to the outside of your golf bag will keep you focused and prevent poor decisions at the most important time of your next round.

#957: Summary Writer and producer, Matt Ginella returns to discuss various topics in the golf world, including their visits to L.A.B. Golf, the success of the company, and their personal experiences with L.A.B. putters. They also touch on Bryson DeChambeau's evolution as a golfer and his impact on the game, as well as the role of storytelling in golf media. Finally, they explore the idea of bifurcation in golf rules and equipment and share their thoughts on the matter. Matt emphasizes the importance of keeping the game accessible and enjoyable for all levels of players. He also discusses his work with Fire Pit Productions, documenting golf course restorations and renovations. 
Takeaways

• Lab Golf is experiencing significant growth and success in the golf industry.
• Bryson DeChambeau has evolved as a golfer and become more likable, thanks to his YouTube channel and his departure from the structured PGA Tour.
• Storytelling plays a crucial role in golf media and can have a profound impact on listeners.
• There is a debate about whether there should be different rules and equipment for professional golfers and everyday golfers.
• Matt Ginella believes that bifurcation is unnecessary and that the focus should be on the growth and enjoyment of the game for all players. The issue of golf ball distance and the potential need for a rollback is a topic of debate in the golf community.
• While some golf courses may appear irrelevant due to the distance players can hit the ball, it is important to consider the impact on the paying consumer.
• There is a natural rollback that occurs with age and physical restrictions, which already limits distance for many players.
• The game of golf should be accessible and enjoyable for players of all levels, and efforts should be made to keep it that way.
• Matt Ginella's work with Fire Pit Productions focuses on documenting golf course restorations and renovations, highlighting the importance of preserving and enhancing these community assets.

877: Gary Sowinski spent more than 6 years working with and learning from Manuel de la Torre, author of Understanding The Golf Swing, and one of golf’s greatest instructors ever to instruct Tour Pros and recreational golfers. In this conversation we learn what Manuel demanded from his students and teachers, the concept of how the body moves, and how to define a ‘swing’. Manuel studied with Ernest Jones and his legendary father, Angel de la Torre. Manuel de la Torre passed away in 2016, but we were lucky to feature him on Golf Smarter in 2009 (still available as Golf Smarter Mulligans episode 90 - January 2021).

This week on Golf Smarter Mulligans #193, is a great compliment to this week’s conversation as we talk to the Golf Better Coach, Rick Koscher on how your body position can impact ball flight.

872: There was something about the unique design and explanation of the FlightPath Golf Tee on Instagram that caught my eye, and I thought what the heck I’ll give it a try. During the first round, I noticed that my drives were going much straighter than usual, but gave myself more credit than the tees. But round after round, I was hitting more fairways and my yardage also increased. It took almost a year to go through the box of 8 tees, but I was hooked and ordered another. Now almost two years in, it was time to order another box, but this time, I needed to find out more. Our guest this week is the inventor, Daniel Whalen, PhD, an environmental engineer who was challenged by his inventor father to come up with something the golf world had never witnessed before. A USGA compliant tee that reduces frictional resistance and allows you to hit straighter and farther than ever before. Learn more at https://flightpathgolf.com.

Mental Coach Carey Mumford, creator of the Clear Key System, spends nearly an hour in this entertaining and provocative episode that was originally published privately as a Members Only episode. This was my last conversation with Carey before he passed in 2013. Over the years, we’ve had many requests to hear more from Carey as all of his content, and his book, have basically disappeared after he died. Because of the Mental Game content we’ve focused on the last few episodes, I thought this was the perfect time to share this episode on Golf Smarter instead of Golf Smarter Mulligans

851: If you’ve taken a golf lesson in the last 15 years, your instructor may have used a Trackman launch monitor to gather shot data. But Trackman is a huge investment which can exceed $25,000.

Rapsodo is the clear leader in this space, being name the Best Personal Golf Launch Monitor of 2021 by MyGolfSpy because of its impressive performance against other Mobile Launch Monitors from SkyTrak, Flightscope, and Garmin. The great part of Rapsodo is that it can be used indoors or out, whether you’re hitting into a net or at the driving range. Our guest this week is Rapsodo’s Testing and Research Coordinator, Justin Bryant, who had a successful playing career at Wake Forest, Arnold Palmer’s alma mater. We learn about Justin’s journey from amateur to pro, ending up working for Rapsodo.com

847: John McDermott was the first native born American golfer to win the US Open in 1911, when he was only 19 years old.
