Show Notes
This week’s episode rides the momentum across global tournament golf — from James Nicholas breaking through on the Korn Ferry Tour, Elvis Smylie making an immediate statement on LIV Golf, and Patrick Reed returning to the winner’s circle on the DP World Tour, to a Jersey-tough performance from Gotterup on the PGA Tour. All of it unfolds alongside Super Bowl weekend and the kickoff of the Winter Olympics — a powerful reminder that when the moment gets big, preparation shows up.
Then we bring it straight back to your game. Because it’s not just mindset — it’s mechanics. We dive into why gear effect matters, how strike location directly shapes ball flight, and why performance can’t be separated from preparation, movement, and the tools in your hands. If you’ve ever hit what felt like a good swing and watched the ball do something unexpected, this episode explains why — and how to start owning your strike and truly Own Your SSWING.
