Are you a sandbagger? Are you one of those guys who manipulates his handicap to reflect a higher index than you play to? Every club has one or two of twelve of them. You know who they are too. Theu are the ones who win every time there is money of good prizes up for grabs. Well this week Those Weekend Golf Guys discuss sandbagging in all its forms. How to spot it. How to do it. How to do it so you don’t look so suspicious! But remember, a handicap does not reflect your average score over par. It reflects your possible BEST score! The USGA has found that if a player plays 50 rounds in a year, he will average scoring what his handicap would dictate only once. That’s right! Only once in 50 rounds. So those of you who play to their handicap every time there is money on the line are doing it wrong. Listen to this episode and learn how to either spot a sandbagger or become better at doi9ng it.

Improve your short game in 51 minutes. That’s how long this episode of Those Weekend Golf Guys is. This week, Jeff Smith, Golf Magazine Top 100 teacher, explains how to get the speed of your putt right no matter the green’s conditions and why how close your first putt is to the hole is so important. Jeff also helps a listener with greenside bunker play by explaining his “Hinge and Thump” shot guaranteed to get you out of the sand first time, every time. So, after you listen, your short game can do nothing but improve Add John Ashton’s expert commentary and witty repartee and you have another gem! Listen now to the Second-Best Golf Show In The World, Those Weekend Golf Guys.

This week Jeff Smith, a Golf Magazine Top 100 teacher and co-host of Those Weekend Golf Guys show offers some invaluable advice: Play Within Yourself. In short, don’t do more than your abilities, your body, and your equipment can do. For instance, if you are taking your second shot into a par 4 hole with something higher than a 7,8,9, or wedge, you need to move up a tee or two. Don’t let your ego ruin the fun of golf by frustrating you because you are doing stuff you are not capable of doing. Don’t try to be a superhero, the cape often times gets tangled around the shaft of the club.
