PGA pro golfer Rickie Fowler is currently ranked among the top ten in the world. The California native stopped by The Forward studio to discuss the current state of golf, pursuing his first major win, influence on the youth of golf and his US Olympic experience.
This week's question comes from Ben about how he can work on staying mentally focused for an entire round of golf. He says he's been experiencing a lot of hot and cold streaks within the same round and he just can't quite seem to shake them.
We talk about how you can get focused on the micro (each swing) rather than the macro (the score you want to shoot) and how one of our Golf Strategy Academy students was able to make this same leap with some fantastic results.

Happy new year everyone! Hopefully you've had a good holiday and are ready to kick off your season right.
Today I wanted to talk about the three most impactful episodes of the podcast and how you can use them to maximize your off-season.
When most people think about the off-season their mind immediately goes to fitness. Mike and Kyle from super speed golf shared some incredible information about how to physically train for a more powerful swing. (Full episode here)
I know a lot of people don't like going to the gym (frankly, neither do I!). The coolest thing about the workout technique Mike & Kyle have developed is that it A) draws on proven science used in other sports and B) doesn't require you to go to the gym and lift heavy things!
They use a process called over speed training to help golfers build their swing speed. It borrows from a technique in baseball where pitchers use balls that are different weights to not only build their muscles, but to train their brain and body to throw faster.
They have three weighted golf clubs, 2 lighter than a driver, 1 heavier, that you swing in order then finish with your actual driver. The brain science here is really cool. They've found that your brain will only let you swing the club as fast as you can safely STOP it. So by using the lighter clubs your brain learns that it actually swing fans stop faster. By swinging the heavier club your body gets used to moving a heavy more difficult object and when you switch back to your driver, the combination of the two lets you swing quicker. They've seen immediate gains of 5-7% swing speed just from the mental component.
This has been so successful for them that they have several PGA & LPGA pros using them. Here's a video from twitter of Billy Horschel getting his work in with super speed golf! I even use super speed as part of my training. If you want to get your own you can get a 10% discount using our code: golfstrategy (all one word).

The second most impactful podcast is that of Greg Liberto, the Head Coach. I use a lot of the things that Greg share in my mental game coaching. There are some truly foundational things that are extremely easy to do but for whatever reason, we neglect them. The biggest in my opinion is to have a POSTgame routine. (Full episode)
Greg’s big three questions are:
The first question gets you to think positively about your game. Too many people neglect to do positive reflection about their abilities. This can be a hu

Holy smokes, I'm BACK!
In this podcast we talk about an article that I really like, written by Alison Curdt. She tells us why it's important not to make that negative knee jerk reaction, and exactly how we can combat it!
Also featured in this episode is the announcement of the new Golf Strategy Academy which is a monthly membership that grants you access to custom practices that have been proven (over 300 test subjects!) to lower your scores.
These are the same practices from the 30 Day Challenge (which is now permanently closed) that helped over 300 golfers rapidly improve and shoot a BUNCH of personal bests.
Sign up at this address (http://www.golfstrategyschool.com/membership-info) using promo code podcast to get in at the introductory rate of $39/month. The code is only valid until November 1st when the prices increase WILL increase.
Until then I will see you in the short grass!

Have you ever heard of the concept of over speed training? Neither had I! It's training using different weighted clubs so you can let your body experience performing the golf swing at a faster speed. By switching to slightly heaver clubs you can build up that swing speed for the times you're actually using your driver. Mike & Kyle from Super Speed Golf take this concept to the next level.
It’s an offshoot of Michael and Kyle’s other company Catalyst Golf Performance in Chicago.
It involves a concept called over speed training.
It increases swing speed (and therefore distance) by using a series of different weighted shafts.
In general, people don’t know how to practice; you need to have a plan.
When clients have a much more structured plan, it helps them improve at a faster rate, and also improves their confidence on the golf course.
Keep tabs of your statistics and progress. Always try to better your own personal scores. Be aware of how you’re doing.
Food journaling is also important-are there snacks in your bag? What are you eating before and after? What are you drinking on the course?
Your body has a memory of how fast the muscular response is going to be when you run that motor pattern (throwing a ball, kicking, swinging a club etc) Your body is used to going at a certain speed.
Your body is actual capable of going much faster than that. Super Speed reprograms what your body thinks is normal speed so you can get a faster more efficient motor response.
They accomplish this by using lighter instruments compared to a golf club (three different clubs are used during training).
Flash memory is made when using these lighter clubs, and when you add the load of a heavier club, your body is used to going faster.
Once you get back to your normal club, there’s usually a 5-6% increase in your club speed.
It takes time for the permanency of this new speed to take hold, about 4-6 weeks afterwards.
A lot of people want to even out their body (using both the right and left sides)
It’s good to train the acceleration and deceleration of the swing.
You need to be able to stop your body faster in order to make it go faster.
If you’re body thinks it’s out of control it will automatically slow things down.
If you only play golf one way, a lot of imbalances will occur that can cause injury later on. This doesn’t mean you have to start playing opposite your dominant side, but it would be a good idea to start taking swings that way on a regular basis.

Well the 30 Day Challenge has come and gone. Now that it's over, what have we learned and what should be taken away from the whole process?
There are two main takeaways here: Shifting to an external focus rather than internal technical ones and what it takes to track progress.
Focus
People often get wrapped up in the technical aspects of golf, quickly drowning in a sea of swing thoughts and position. The unifying theme that all of these practice sessions had was an external focus.
What does that even mean? Well, it means that we don't really care about the technique you use to complete the practice, but that you learn how to do it your way and develop confidence in your way.
There have been multiple scientific studies done that have proven higher success rates using external focus vs internal (technical) focus.
Progress
For many people tracking stats is a very familiar thing. They keep fairways, puts, and maybe greens in regulation on the bottom of their card. That's a great start, but not nearly enough to fully leverage your abilities.
If you want to experience success on the course you have to make your practice more difficult than when you actually play. To make sure that you follow a well thought out plan you need to track how well you perform under these different practice circumstances.
I encourage you to keep a small notepad in your bag or use a blank scorecard to note exactly how well you do each time you practice. That way when you do a routine a 2nd or 3rd time, you'll know where to start to maximize your learning.

Starring:
Rickie Sorensen

This week on Total Movie Recall, Steve and Ryan relive the vile union of a pedophilic wizard and his would be king pupil. Ryan remembers a simpler time when he'd eat sugary snacks at his creepy neighbor's house while getting hockity pocketied, and Steve demands more swords and wizardry in his swords and wizardry in the 1963 Disney classic "The Sword in the Stone."
This Disney adaptation of the classic fable chronicles King Arthur's humble beginnings. As an orphaned child, Arthur, who was then known as Wart, wants to help his foster brother, Kay, succeed in becoming a knight. While helping Kay train, Wart stumbles upon a cabin belonging to Merlin, a bumbling but talented wizard. Merlin does his best to convince the boy that he is bound for greatness, and when Wart and Kay travel to London to attend a jousting contest, they learn that Merlin was right.
