902: A Golf Smarter listener was shocked to find out that one of his regular playing partners was the actual author of a book we’ve talked a lot about on this podcast, “Winning The Battle Within - The Best Shot Is the One You Trust” by Dr. Glen Albaugh (RIP). Michael claims to actually have come up with the subtitle about “Trust”. He’s also a very good golfer / coach with some fabulous stories and tips. Beyond those credits, he is also an award-winning investigative journalist and the author of more than twenty books, and the publisher at Sixty Degrees Publishing <https://www.sixtydegreespublishing.com/> including his latest, “Michael Bowker’s No Ordinary Days”. This week on Golf Smarter Mulligans #218, we feature one of my favorite episodes that was originally for Members Only, so it’s never been shared publicly.

901: Blake Jirges talks about the value of why golfers of all skill levels would benefit far more from on-course lessons vs just ball striking advice at the range. Breaking 100 isn’t just because you don’t have confidence in your swing, it’s more about the decisions you make during your round. Blake was recently named 2022 Southern California PGA Teacher of the Year and one of Golf Digest’s Best Young Teachers based on his teaching techniques, and performance as a golf instructor. He’s also Director of Player Development at Coto de Caza Golf Club.

896: Golf can’t be that difficult to understand, learn, and conquer, can it? Jerome Rufin believes it, so he launched a YouTube documentary series called “Scratch to Scratch” that documents his daily quest from knowing nothing about the sport…and I do mean nothing…to be a scratch golfer. The videos are informative, enlightening, compelling and sometimes frustrating to watch as he gets advanced instruction at a rapid pace. But it’s clear by watching that he, like many of us, is sometimes lost about what it all means and how it works. Even with a team of coaches and full time dedication, Jerome believes he could shoot par regularly in less than 5 years. In this conversation, we learn just how his innocent naiveté is keeping his spirits high and his frustration in check. https://www.youtube.com/@JeromeRufin Watch the complete interview at https://youtu.be/fhnZxqHTsHE This episode is brought to you by SwingU.com and the SwingU app. Go to swingu.com/upgrade and use promo code ‘golfsmarter’ to save 30% on your first year’s subscription to either the SwingU Plus or SwingU Pro..

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.

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.
