Brooks Koepka came out in an article today stating that he doesn't see that he has a rival, not even Rory McIlroy qualifies. Brooks sees himself as Number 1 in the world, more majors than anyone else in the last few years, and smooth sailing ahead. But what does the performance data on his golf say about his game, and what does it say about Rory's …

I can promise you have never heard it covered quite like how Fred Shoemaker and Evan Schiller (Evan Schiller Golf Photography view tension in the golf swing. If you would like to f…

Henrik Stenson is a major champion, a silver medalist, he's won on 5 continents, a FedEx Cup and Race to Dubai Champion. And he has accomplished all of it using his trusty (and now dead) 3-wood. Ugh, what now. And a discussion on non-conforming clubs and what should be done, if anything, about the PGA Tour's decision to test 30 players each tour st…

Kevin Na is learning how to win, and it is totally impressive. 3 wins in the last 3 years for a total of 4. And you won't believe how many tournaments he has played on the PGA Tour, it was crazy to see. Great data to review today!

The only connection we have with the club is through our grip, and yet the grip can be a very confusing topic for many golfers. We hear that a strong grip is better, or a weak one. We have a pro show us a "proper" grip, and it works for a while and we play better, and then we don't. The answer we learn from Fred Shoemaker is we should be playing wi…

A three-year ban for a gesture? Wow! What a statement... in cultural hypocrisy.

Cameron Champ is a special talent. He can hit is a very long way, and actually lead the 2017 US Open in driving distance as an amateur. Now as a two-time PGA Tour winner, can he settle down and play more consistently? Let's dive into the number that got it done this week, and take a look at where Cameron could do better based on his 2019 stats. Let…

Wow, another really cool episode where Fred Shoemaker explains what we need to avoid in our own practice. You will find this fascinating, I know I did. The first time I heard this it blew me away, it still does. If we aren't careful we run the risk of actually practicing distrust while we are on the game. Sounds crazy right? Let's let Fred explain.…

Arnold Palmer said it best when he said "Swing your swing." Unfortunately many out there have interpreted that to mean, "do whatever crazy thing you want to do and you can still play great golf." That isn't what Mr. Palmer meant. We see unorthodox swings on the PGA Tour, and some have used those swings to be very successful and even win, but does t…

Joaquin Niemann was an accomplished amateur player, is one of only 3 to make it on to the PGA Tour going via the Korn Ferry Tour Finals. And now is a winner on the PGA Tour. Let's review the data on how he got it done, and discuss how our benchmark number can help us all improve our games. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com…

For the first time in 28 years, the Player of the Year award based on the PGA Tour points system and the Player of the Year award based on the Tour player's opinion do not match up. Rory McIlroy was chosen as Player of the Year over Brooks Koepka by their fellow competitors. What happened? Do majors not matter to the Tour Players most anymore, or w…

Matt Kuchar finds himself at the end of another Twitter storm. He followed the new rules of golf, but some were upset (like Geoff Shackelford among others) that he was apparently not keeping within the spirit of the game of golf. The spirit of the game?!?

Learning to play golf with freedom should be the goal of all golfers, but actually learning how to play that way isn't as simple as it sounds. Fear tends to creep in, worry about not looking bad in front of those we are playing with, or just not performing up to our capacity takes away our freedom. Fred Shoemaker shares his insight in how freedom i…

Many of us expect too much of ourselves on the golf course. We have it in our heads that the PGA Tour pros never miss a shot, or we have lofty expectations for our own games and aren't realistic. By understanding and knowing performance benchmarks we can no only relax and see our game in a correct light, but we can make sure we are working on the p…

Fred Shoemaker is a renown golf instructor. He founded a Top 25 rated golf school and has coached the brightest minds in golf. He has authored two amazing book on golf and was kind enough to share his insight with us in a lengthy discussion a few weeks a go. In this episode I have pulled out a very important part of the originally 45 minute discuss…

Rory McIlroy had a very consistent year, and he finished the year up with a $15 million payday at the FedEx Cup. Let's look at Rory's numbers compared to his 2019 averages and see what we can learn. Our benchmarks produced from the 2018 season held up well this year, and there will be minimal changes for the 2019-2020 season. Which is great new for…

Many of us were raised to believe that we had to learn skill and beat into our brains, body, muscle memory in order to become good golfers. Well, it turns out that isn't the case. Fred Shoemaker shares with us the proper mindset me must have to learn golf in a more meaningful and exciting way. This episode goes deep, it is one of my favorites and t…

We have been fed misinformation for years on how to read greens, the best putting strokes, best grips, stance, balance, everything. But are you a better putter today than you were last year, or 5 years ago. The answer to that is probably no, not if you looked at the data. So why can't we get better? One simple sentence from Fred Shoemaker changed t…

What a crazy weekend of golf. For most of the weekend it appeared up to 6 players outside of the top 30 would make it to Atlanta, it didn't happen. Patrick Cantlay made sure that Justin Thomas earned the victory, they both played great and it felt like match play most of the day. The data proves Justin had a good week, let's tee it up and take a lo…

Here we are only one tournament left until the PGA Tour make it final stop of the year at East Lake for the Tour Championship. We have been told that there is quite a bit of volatility in the playoffs, but we have essentially 48 players, playing for eight spots. Let's see who those are!

Bryson DeChambeau is an incredible talent; he has created quite a persona for himself as a mad golf scientist (which is a nickname I also claim for myself). But unfortunately for him, he has also become known as a slow player, and last week sure didn't help anything. Bryson wants to play faster, but his slow play is the results of a much bigger pro…

It had been 16 months since Patrick Reed's Master's win. There were some ups and downs in his game; he mentioned his struggles in his post-tournament interview. If you listen between the lines, Reed shares some pretty important information on how to play our best golf. Let's tee it up! #golf #pgatour #golfers #lovegolf #golfday #whyilovethisgame #g…

Tiger Woods has taken great pride in his consistency over the years, but now as his career winds down some stats seem to be suffering. Does Tiger need to pay more attention? Does he even care? How far can he slide before he worries about tarnishing his stellar accomplishments? Joe Montana, Brett Farve, Kobe Bryant come to mind. Let's tee it up! #go…

David Leadbetter has some pretty harsh words for Lydia Ko and her parents. Which seems really ironic, since most of his players probably should have harsh words for him, and his ridiculous way of teaching the golf swing.

The USGA will now allow amateur champions to declare themselves pro and still, take advantage of the spot earned in the US Open. This change will make it possible for every US Amateur Champion to rightfully take their coveted place with the reigning US Open Champion and British Open Champion in the opening rounds of the US Open. But what will the P…

Four rounds in the 60s and no bogeys! 100% successful in scrambling. Truly an amazing performance by J.T. and the data shows it. Also, I little update on how the playoffs will be different this year.

We all want more power, but how to generate it gets to be a little confusing. Some say we work on our quick twitch muscles, lift weights, run in army boots on a beach, there are many theories. But what works for one of us, might not work for another. Fred Shoemaker joins the program to discuss how we can tap into our natural abilities to find more …

Great start at the Wyndham! And I am sure many of those out there who are struggling to keep their card, or get into the playoffs, wishes they could bottle up some of Brooks Koepka's winning ways. Brooks has come about his winning in a unique way. Let's tee it up! #golf #pgatour #golfers #lovegolf #golfday #whyilovethisgame #golflessons #golflife #…

You have probably heard some say setting-up takes zero athletic ability to do properly. And that is true, if you don't consider golf to be an athletic activity. Getting setup properly and athletically can't be overlooked when you want to play your best. Let's tee it up! #golf #pgatour #golfers #lovegolf #golfday #whyilovethisgame #golflessons #golf…

Brooks Koepka made it look really easy, far easier than many of us thought he would. Rory didn't put up much of a fight. And Brooks putted well all week, which doesn't happen much. Collin Morikawa not only won the Barracuda, but he won his PGA Tour card and is in the top 50 of the FedEx Cup standings with all his fine play. The data is pretty cool …

Each year as the PGA Tour winds down so many discuss the pressure the "on the bubble" tour players feel. And we are hearing more about it as the Barracuda Championship continues this weekend. At times some seem to infer that we amateurs have no idea how these tour pros feel. Does that bother anyone else? Let's tee it up! #golf #pgatour #golfers #lo…

So much is going on as we wind up this end of the PGA Tour regular season. We have the WGC St. Jude this weekend, we are still basking in the very cool British Open, and we have this thing called the Wyndham Rewards regular season $10 million bonus to worry about. Has it had an effect? Also, we should all still be amazed at all the wisdom Fred Shoe…

Fred Shoemaker has been revolutionizing golf instructions for 44 years now. He has written two seminal books on golf (Extraordinary Golf and Extraordinary Putting) and has run a Top 25 Golf School program for those years. I met Fred & Jo Shoemaker and the rest of Extraordinary Golf some 13 years ago, and my golf life and life in general, has never …

Shane Lowry in predictable fashion wins the British Open, after mission the last four cuts of this fabled major. And he did it in style, as an Irishman, former Irish Open champion, and with a course record on Saturday to permanently put it out of reach. No one made up any ground, and Shane finished with a six-stroke win. Let's check out the data th…

What Shane Lowry did today was beyond unexpected, it was historic. And based on the historical data, he has pretty much won the himself the Claret Jug. But what Shane Lowry has had to overcome to get where he is today is amazing, and I did not know it. Let's tee it up! #golf #pgatour #golfers #lovegolf #golfday #whyilovethisgame #golflessons #golfl…

Royal Portrush is a gem, amazing! Some big names didn't make the cut, some did. This is going to be a great weekend. We look at 19 years of data to get a good idea of who is in the hunt, and who is out of it already.

Day 1 is in the books and let's just say the country of Ireland is a little shocked tonight. Ugh. This was such a big day for them and their golfing heroes. There was much about the day that was incredible, the Royal Portrush Golf Club is gorgeous. The course sort of stole the show, which was good, because many of the big guns struggled. Let's tee …

Wow!! We crunched the numbers, weighted the data based on the information out of Royal Port Rush, recent trends, history, and have come up with a lock for the winner of the 2019 British Open. I'm thinking about taking a quick trip to Vegas! Trying to come up with the right formula to predict an unpredictable game, especially one being played at a n…

Well, its the final major, it's Brooks Koepka, and it's a bit of controversy. Brooks Koepka has been coming out of his shell and sharing more and more about himself. With each major he seems to be more comfortable with who he is, and could care less and less what anyone else thinks about it. IT IS AWESOME! Brooks had more to say in his press confer…

Dylan Frittelli gets a big win at the John Deere Classic and wins the opportunity to fly back over and plan again across the pond at the British Open. We don't know much about Dylan, but we will. He is an overnight success, that took decades in the making. A great story and a great win. Welcome to Data Monday, where we crunch the numbers and see ho…

The year is closing quickly, way quickly if you ask me. We have only have two full-field PGA Tour events, a major, The British Open, and a World Golf Championship and that is it for the 2018-2019 regular season. That is so hard to believe. And with the changes to the tour schedule, there are many players, who we know and love, who are going to be o…

That was one of the best finishes of the year. What a big win for Matthew Wolff, only playing in his 3rd PGA Tour event as a pro. Incredible. On this data Monday we will take a look at Matthew's stats and see where he got it done this week. Also, should amateurs swing like Matt? Is his unorthodox swing motion one we should try? Let's tee it up! #go…

Bryson DeChambeau is playing well again, and he tried to withhold what part of his game he's working on, but does he not realize he is on TV? Pretty easy to pick out what is different in his swing. Matt Wolf seems to be playing "well" or is he, and can he depend on that unique swing of his? Hideki has supposedly fixed his putting woes with a narrow…

In the golf world, we have been talking about Michelle Wie since she was ten years old. She was going to be the female Tiger Woods and dominate the game for years to come. At 13 she could hit her driver 320 yards, no one had a chance, the LPGA was going to be her playground, and she was going to be the bully on the block for decades. Well, that did…

What a fantastic weekend of golf. The word that keeps coming to mind is "satisfying." Nate Lashley got it done, and it is one of the most amazing stories in golf this year, if not the best. It might even be better than Tiger Wood's win at the Masters. Seriously, it is that good. Steve Stricker also one the US Senior Open in dominating fashion, so v…

We learned in the US Open at Pebble Beach this year that bunker play was hugely important! How are you doing from the sand this summer? Let's go through the most popular techniques and see if we can't come up with one that is most simple to remember and implement, taking much of the confusion out of our bunker technique. Let's tee it up! #golf #pga…
