Show Notes
Erik, Jayson, and Tyson dive into one of the most debated (and rightly so!) concepts in golf development: the difference between skill and technique. What separates the ability to execute under pressure from just having good mechanics? Can skill be coached, or is it something players must build on their own? The crew explores how technique influences skill, the role of genetics, and how to strike the right balance during both practice and competition. With real-world examples, coaching insights, and a few takes on block vs. random practice, this episode is a must-listen for players and coaches alike.
