GSfMO#330 - Here's a taste of this week's hour long Members Only episode with 2007 PGA National Teacher of the Year, Jim Hardy. He says that every person's golf swing is as unique as a strand of DNA.

He's also credited as the father of the 1-plane / 2-plane swing concept . Last week on episode #329, we enjoyed 30 minutes with Jim discussing his list of prestigous students on the PGA, Champions, and Nationwide tours. We also covered his decades as Tour player, designer and instructor.

GSfMO#324 Tripp Davis returns for our Members Only episode to discuss how an understanding of golf course design can enhance your game and increase your golf IQ. Tripp makes some very interesting comments about the trend of lengthening golf courses that include, “ In certain respects, it’s really become more about power. The game is about scoring. It’s not about how you hit the ball, it’s about how quickly you get the ball into the hole..� and “..it doesn’t makes sense...if you want to challenge the long hitting players, making the course longer does not necessarily challenge them, it plays into their hands...�

GSfMO#322 Jeff RItter returns for a Members Only episode to discuss what you as a golf student can expect from a good coach. We get into swing flaws and mechanics and what you need to learn to make the more complex elements as simple as possible. To get into your coach’s mind, you need to understand where you are now, where you’re trying to go, why you’re trying to go there, and then to decide if you are doing the right amount, not enough or too much to reach your goal Jefff also provides his report on what he saw at this year’s PGA Merchandise Show.

To hear this week’s conversation with Jim Waldron on Consistency, Distance and Accuracy, join GOLF SMARTER For Members Only now.

GS#319 Jim Waldron of Balance Point Golf Schools returns to warn us that if your set up is not right, then your ball striking is doomed. He shares a story of one of his students who was absolutely convinced that he had a thorough knowledge of ball striking based on watching YouTube videos, but Jim immediately noticed that he was aiming 30 degrees to the right of the target. In the past, Jim has discussed the mind/body connection and mental game, but he wanted us to make sure that he's actually deeply committed to teaching mechanics too.

This is part 1 of our time with Jim. He returns for a Members Only episode for another 40 minutes .
