In this episode, I'm joined by Jim McLean, one of the most respected coaches in golf history and a Hall of Fame instructor whose work has influenced players and coaches around the world.
Jim shares stories from the start of his coaching career, lessons learned playing college golf at the University of Houston, and his philosophy on teaching the entire game—not just the swing. We also dive into common mistakes amateurs make, how to think about contact and low point, and why the mental game and commitment matter more than most golfers realize.
In this episode, you'll learn:
Why great golf requires mastering the Total Game—long game, short game, mental game, and course management

The most common setup mistake amateurs make (and how tension kills good swings)

Why hitting down on the ball starts with proper weight and low-point control

How a simple routine, commitment, and decisiveness can unlock better golf

This episode is packed with timeless lessons from one of the game's great teachers—and applies whether you're working on your swing, mindset, or overall improvement plan.

If you want this to be your best golf year ever, it won't happen by accident.
Most golfers make the same mistake every offseason: They either do nothing… or they work on too many random things with no plan.
In this episode, we talk about how to use the offseason the right way — building habits, structure, and clarity so that when the season starts, you're already ahead.
Here's the truth most golfers don't want to hear: your golf season is decided before the first round.

Train your mental game instead of overthinking on the course

Upgrade your equipment.

Practice with purpose with indoor strategies.

Simplify golf fitness to build a better body.

Increase swing speed with proven speed training. 

This isn't swing mechanics. It's about playing smarter, staying consistent, and showing up confident when it matters.
If you want a clear plan — not guesswork — this is where to start.
