Ep 351There Is No Right Or Wrong Way To Play Golf
Those weekend Golf Guys are here this week with their semi-regular reminder that there is no “right” or “wrong” way to play golf. There are ways to swing the club that are not compatible with your body’s motion. There are ways to move that might be inhibited by your flexibility, or lack thereof. But keep in mind there are myriad ways to be successful at this game. Some have short backswings (like Jon Rahm). Others have long backswings (like Justin Thomas). Jeff Smith, one of Golf Magazines Top 100 Teachers, also describes the transition; that short period of time when the backswing stops and the downswing begins. Get this right for you and your game will improve noticeably. This is one of those programs where a simple listen (OK. Maybe take some notes too) will make you a much better golfer the very next time you head out to the course. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Ep 350USGA-Roll Back This!
The USGA and The R7A are proposing a new rule that will “Roll Back” the golf ball. They think the ball is too hot and is making some of the golf courses the PGA Tour plays on obsolete. Well, Jeff Smith and John Ashton think that would be a stupid thing for the USGA and the R&A to do and mince no words in a scathing attack on the idea on this week’s Those Weekend Golf Guys Show. As Jeff says, “since you are so good, we have to penalize you”. There is a perfect answer to this problem, and its not to “roll back” the golf ball so it doesn’t fly as far. It sounds like the proposal would reduce a 300 yard drive by about 15 yards. The answer is “agronomy”. Plant some trees, build some bunkers, keep the rough a bit rougher, narrow the fairways. There are lots of things to do to cut back the distance of the world’s “Elite Golfers” without ruining the golf experience for the rest of us. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Ep 349107 Reasons More Women Should Play Golf
OK, maybe 107 reasons is a bi9t of an exaggeration. But we do have some great reasons why more women need to play golf and a bunch of ideas on how to make it easy for them to get started with the game. Our guest is Janet Miller, President of the Louisville Chapter of the LPGA Amateur group, formerly know as the EWGA. Jante’s local Louisville group has an open house here in Louisville on Sunday March 19th and everyone in the area is invited to attend to check out the group. Jeff talks about how easy it is for women to get started by attending a group golf clinic designed to introduce women to the game. We also discuss how golf seems to make it hard for women to get into the game; talking about how intimidating a golf course can be to not only women, but to all beginners in golf. Another great episode this week from Those Weekend Golf Guys, the 2nd best golf show in the world. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Ep 347Swing Faster, Faster
This week on Those Weekend Golf Guys you will hear three great ways to increase your swing speed. And we all know that sing speed is the best way to assure longer drives and better ball flight. Jeff Smith, one of Golf Magazine’s Top100 Teachers, runs down his 3 techniques to speed up your swing speed. The first way is to make sure your grip is not too tight on the club. He says the grip should be “soft” but not “loose”. Because when your grip Is too tight your rms and wrists do not function correctly and slow down your swing. The second technique to speed up your swing is to learn how to properly use your legs to “push off” the ground. Jeff describes in detail some routines to practice doing that push off sufficiently. And the third technique involves your core muscles. As Tiger Woods said about his game recently, “I can’t push off with my legs like I used to so I have to rely on my core, and my core is stronger than ever.” Jeff Smith has some pretty cool and inexpensive ways to improve core strength in a short amount of time. So, after this week’s episode, your swing will be faster so your shots will be longer!

Ep 346How To Play A Hard Golf Course
So, how hard is Golf? Well, how hard do you want it to be? How hard to you want to make it? That’s what we talk about this week on Those Weekend Golf Guys.

And then the Guys discuss the techniques you can use to tame any tough golf course. The game is only as hard as you make it and Jeff points out that if you hit the ball straight and put it in the fairway, the game gets pretty easy. So Jeff will coach you throughout the episode on how to hit the ball straight even on one of the 30 hardest golf courses. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Ep 202S2 Ep202: Are Your Arms Making You A Bad Putter?
The answer to your putting woes may be the grip of your club! Yup, the flat part may not be best laying at a 90 degree angle from your putter face. Your arms hand differently from person to person. It could be that your arm’s natural hang is incompatible with your grip position. This means that you may never be able to aim the putter right until you change the orientation of your putter grip. Jeff Smith and our guest instructor, Sara Stone discuss this and other techniques that are revolutionizing the golf instruction field and may just ne the secret to you actually getting better after all these years.

Ep 192S2 Ep192: Cart Path Only
This week on Those Weekend Golf Guys, the second best golf show in the world, the three words you hate t hear on the golf course: Cart Path Only! Those 3 words open up a whole raft of special circumstances. Because the cause is wetness, there are different ways to swing, different clubs for the same lengths. And you must be careful not to slow down the pace of play too badly. It’s harder to get accurate distances. I mean, it’s almost a completely different game. Well, this week the guys help you navigate a wet course quickly, accurately, and efficiently. Listen this week as Jeff Smith, one of America’s Top 100 Golf Indstructors, suggest how to play well when the sign reads Cart Path Only. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Ep 191S2 Ep191: If You Think, You Stink
If You Think – You Stink! Golf isn’t hard to play. It is hard to be good at, but not hard to play. In fact it is so very simple. Hit a ball with a stick, go get the ball, hit it again and again until you get it in the hole. You know why it seems to be so hard? Because we THINK it should be hard and we THINK too much and make it hard. You want to play golf? Here’s all you need to do. Find someone to teach you how to grip the club; how to position the ball; where to put your feet; how to swing the club; how to make center face contact between the club and the ball every time. That’s it! Those are the things you should think about and you should only think about them prior to swinging. When you have all those elements together, simply swing the club without thinking about it and watch how wonderful a shot you can hit.

Ep 178S2 Ep178: How Should You Practice
What do you consider to be “practice”? Do you show up at the course 30 or so minutes before Tee time and hit a few balls and putt a bit? Do you ever go to the course just to hit some balls, take some chips and pitches, or putt? Have you ever gone to the course just to practice? Have you ever considered maybe playing 9 holes and then taking a few hours to practice a bit? That s a great technique for people who have a finite amount of time to play golf. Jeff Smith, a Top 100 teacher, explains many different techniques for players who desire to improve to make the time to get out and practice enough to actually improve.

Ep 177S2 Ep177: We Dont Need No Stinkin Rules
There are 192 pages of rules for the game of golf in the USGA rule book. How many of them do you follow? Sure, purists will say “all of them” but no one will believe that. Most of us recreational golfers play something Jeff Smith calls “sort of golf”. We may take a Mulligan here and there. We may use that foot wedge a bit too often. We may forget to add penalty strokes. This week Those weekend Golf Guys talk about the rules that shouldn’t exist and maybe a few that don’t but should.

Ep 175S2 Ep175: When Doing It Right Feels Wrong
When doing it right feels wrong. So many of us have played this game for years, making certain kinds of shots badly. Using bad technique; the wrong grip; the wrong ball position, etc. And then we find a coach like Top 100 Teacher, Jeff Smith who shows us a simple and effective change that makes our shots so much more successful. We love the results but it just doesn’t feel right. So, do you practice the right way until it begins to feel normal or do you revert to the old technique that feels good but doesn’t work well? You might be surprised by a few of these stories. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Ep 173S2 Ep173: Getting Out Of Thick, Wet Rough
This week on Those Weekend Golf Guys Radio Show we talk about rough. It’s late Spring. It’s been a rather wet Spring and a bit chilly too. That makes the grass on your local golf course thick and hard to get through with a lower lofted golf club. Jeff gives us all a quick lesson on how to effectively extricate ourselves from a thick rough lie. It’s easy if you keep a few things that Jeff will explain in mind.

Ep 172S2 Ep172: Live From French Lick
This week Those Weekend Golf Guys are live from the French Lick Resort’s Pete Dye Golf Course. We were there for the BiG10 Men’s Golf Championship. While we were there we, of course, saw some great golf and got to play, maybe not great golf but on great golf courses! We also spent some quality time talking to the new Head Pro at the Donald Ross Course at French Lick, one of the few female Head Pros in the country, former LPGA star Lori Atsedes. 26 wins on the LPGA tour and some terrific stories.

Ep 171S2 Ep171: Visually Intimidating Golf Courses
There are some golf courses that scare the bejeezus out of you just by looking at them. There are golf holes that you have never been able to play well. This week Those Weekend Golf Guys examine the visual intimidation of golf courses. How do aesthetics screw with the perception of the average golfer and how badly are they affected? John and Jeff delve into this subject in their typical fun, funny, skewed view of the world Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Ep 170S2 Ep170: What Clubs Should I Buy?
Do I need new clubs? What clubs should I buy? What works best for me? How do I know? These were the questions that our guest, Connie Willis, asked us in an email. We thought it might be a good idea to get her on the show and talk about it. If she has those questions, then we know most of us also have those questions. Do we buy based on test results in magazines? Do we go to a fitting at our local club? There are so many questions, so many options. This week Jeff and John answer them all for you!

Ep 169S2 Ep169: Dialing In Your Distance
What good is having an accurate range finder on the golf course if you don’t know how far you hit each of your clubs? The answer is “no good”. In fact, it’s a waste. Whether you are using GPS or Lazer it doesn’t matter if you’re exactly 157 from the pin if you don’t know specifically what to hit to get 157. Jeff Smith explains exactly how to figure out the distance of all the clubs in your bag as only a Top 100 Golf Instructor can on this edition of Those Weekend Golf Guys Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Ep 168S2 Ep168: The Picture Perfect Golf Swing Isn't
It’s Masters Week. You watch the best golfers in the world playing and you can do nothing but admire their form, their abilities, the way they can manage great scores on a tough course in tough conditions. You study their form and think if you could just look like they do, then you could score like they do. WRONG! Can you imagine if we showed a still pic of Ted Williams as he made contact with a ball, or Michael Jordan as he hung in midair with his jump shot that that would be the right form to emulate? No. Jeff explains some of the elements in the pictures you have seen repeatedly have really screwed up your golf game.
