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.

FlightPath Golf tees: Has the Perfect Golf Tee finally Been Invented? | #872

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.

Golf+NFTs=A New Era In Golf! Introducing LinksDAO | golf SMARTER #833

833: Golf is generally not in the same conversation as Crypto Currency. And a lot of golfers may never have even heard of, or understand NFTs, or nonfungible tokens. But at the end of 2021 Mike Dudas had the idea of creating a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) for golf enthusiasts, with the ultimate goal of raising enough money to buy a golf course through the sale of NFTs. This would be a typical country club, but based in blockchain. So LinksDAO was born and sixteen days later they raised $11 Million dollars through the sale of a collection of NFTs. Our guests on this episode are two of the original founding members, Jim Daily and Adam Besvinick who share the story, educate us on NFTs and blockchain technology, what is Web3.0, and explain how you too can get involved with LinksDAO.

814. Sir Nick Faldo. John Daly. Jim McLean. Rick Smith. All wear SQAIRZ golf shoes because they improve their golf game. A wild statement that usually means a paid endorsement. But that’s not the case. Each of these high profile golf professionals discovered SQAIRZ golf shoes on their own, tested them out and were convinced that these are the best golf shoes ever made. And now there’s science to back up some of these outrageous claims. Our guest this week is CEO and Founder of SQAIRZ, Bob Winscowicz and makes an important point. There’s only two points of contact in golf. Your hands with the club, and our feet with the ground. Listen to hear how the wrong shoes can rob you of distance, consistency, and swing speed.

If You’ve Seen a Wedge Used on Tour - It Doesn’t Belong In Your Bag! with Terry Koehler

812: Terry “The Wedge Guy” Koehler has spent his life in pursuit of creating the best wedge for amateur players. In this episode you’ll hear how the average golfer is getting fooled by purchasing wedges that we see on the PGA Tour.

Do you do that? If not, then you should listen to this episode, especially if you’re putting new wedges on your holiday wish list! EdisonWedges.comGolf Smarter is your podcast forecaddie!

If You're Not Practicing Golf with Feedback...DON'T Practice! with Erik Schjolberg

793: Erik Schjolberg is a PGA Instructor in Arizona who learned early in his career that the best way to learn about teaching golf is by listening to, and watching other instructors apply their trade.

Barney Adams on the State of the Game, Equipment, The Wow Factor, and Breakthrough Golf Tech

784: When Barney Adams introduced the Adams Golf Tight Lies Fairway “Woods” (was the first to use metal instead of wood) in 1988 he changed the golf equipment industry forever.

Your Wedges Were Designed for Pros, Not You! with Terry "The Wedge Guy" Koehler

783: Wedges are critically important to get the ball close to the flagstick. The Wedge Guy, Terry Koehler returns as this week's featured guest. If you’ve heard him on Golf Smarter over the years, or read his blogs, you know he’s frustrated with major club manufacturers who have not made any significant changes to wedges, other than those mandated by the USGA, in decades, even though drivers, hybrids, irons, and putters have all gone through game changing updates. His company, Edison Golf is proof that Terry walks the talk. In this episode, as always, Terry is opinionated, outspoken, and entertaining. This week on Golf Smarter Mulligans, published each Friday, is the second of nine episodes featuring the late, great instructor Tony Manzoni.

The Science of Rethinking, Relearning, & Revamping Your Golf Swing with James Ragonnet, PhD

782: James Ragonnet, PhD, has a compelling new book called Your Inner Golf Guru: Developing the Golf Instructor Within, which contends that to improve your golf swing you need to take a systemic vs analytical approach. The Systemic method means that the golf swing is a sum of all its parts that need to work in cooperation. Breaking down those parts, the Analytical approach, is taking all the nuanced elements, similar to getting one tip from YouTube, another from a magazine, then adding something else from a buddy, is counter productive and could do more harm than good. James originally joined us in 2007 to discuss his book “Golf’s Three Noble Truths”. That episode can be heard on Golf Smarter Mulligans, episode 30. Both of these books are available on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/Your-Inner-Golf-Guru-Rethinking/dp/1683583981/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1WGX91EX03BMQ&dchild=1&keywords=james+ragonnet&qid=1614728602&sprefix=James+Rag%2Caps%2C211&sr=8-1 and https://www.amazon.com/Golfs-Three-Noble-Truths-Playing-ebook/dp/B0042FZW6G/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1WGX91EX03BMQ&dchild=1&keywords=james+ragonnet&qid=1614728619&sprefix=James+Rag%2Caps%2C211&sr=8-2By overwhelming demand, the next 9 episodes of Golf Smarter Mulligans feature some of our many conversations with the late Tony Manzoni. Tony was an amazing golf instructor who passed away in 2018.

If You Could Get 10 More Yards with Your Driver, What’s the Impact on the Rest of Your Clubs?

779: Roger Gunn, PGA returns to Golf Smarter to respond to host Fred Greene’s concern that increased yardage is a double edged sword. Of course we all want to hit the ball consistently, but we often speak of how much better we’d be if we could only hit it farther off the tee. There’s a lot more to gaining distance than a new club. It’s club head speed, flexibility, body type, proper mechanics, and fitted clubs. Let’s say you’ve achieved that distance, now you have to make adjustments with every club in your bag. Not so simple, right? If flexibility is an issue for you, then don’t miss this week’s Golf Smarter Mulligans (read on)! This week on Golf Smarter Mulligans episode 95, Katherine Roberts, a longtime friend of GOLF SMARTER discusses her book "Swing Flaws and Fitness Fixes" where she provides tips, drills and advice on how to improve flexibility, strength and stamina.

Your Eyes May be the Secret Weapon That Puts You in the Winner's Circle featuring Dr. Ryan Caserta

777: When it comes to golf improvement, all too often we discuss and dissect various parts of our swings, our bodies, our mental state, our equipment, etc. Our guest today is Dr Ryan Caserta who has studied eye movement patterns as a way to improve all aspects of golf.

Working with amateur and professional golfers at every level has provided him insights on eye movement patterns rarely seen or understood.

Golf Goal for 2021: BORING Golf! with Jamie Zimron, Our Golf Sensei

775: Jamie Zimron, our golf sensei, returns to explain why she loves to play boring golf and what we can do to get there. What’s boring golf? Fairway. Green. Fairway. Green. etc. When we play stress-less, we prosper more. That’s achieved through self-management where you’re trying to minimize damage during a round.

Four Time PGA Winner Chip Beck Shares Lessons from Life on Tour in 80s & 90s

The very first 59 was in 1977 by Al Geiberger, all the rest have come since 2000.

Let’s Shatter Some Myths and Misunderstandings About Single Length Golf Clubs

769: Bryson DeChambeau’s recent success on the PGA Tour has made single length golf clubs relevant. But are they for everyone? This week’s guest on Golf Smarter is Matt Lake of 1IronGolf.com. Matt claims that the major manufacturers focus on different length shafts for each club for the purposes of mass production and scalability of their business. 1IronGolf refuses to mass produce as an independent club maker who custom fits every set to every customer. The goal is for each user to have the exact same swing for every club, which could improve consistency, distance, and accuracy. We were first introduced to 1IronGolf.com by Matt’s Dad, David in 2009 (episode 76 of Golf Smarter Mulligans). Golf Smarter listeners get 10% any order at 1irongolf.com with checkout code “golfsmarter”. Plus they offer a 30-day 100% money-back guarantee (excluding Used/Demo sets).

681: Bradley Putters do more than consistently put the ball in the hole, they tell an intimate story of its owner. Think of a Bradley putter as a fine tuned instrument customized to your exact specs, combined with an heirloom piece of art that can be in your family for generations. Our guest this week is Bradley Converse, a mechanical engineer who spent 10 years designing military equipment to survive nukes (which makes him pretty good at vibrational dynamics), who also has a passion for golf, design, and clearly, science.
