#20 Pharaoh's Tomb August 22nd 2k22 Virginia; Course plays through the more significant part of White Bank's 22 acres and is an 18-basket disc golf course crammed into a sardine can. On the weekends, this course must be a nightmare to play, considering the flight paths will be filled with park visitors of the non-disc golfing variety

This week, in Gaffney, South Carolina, it looks like a typical domestic dispute, ended in an unusual way, when a woman is found, naked, and strangled, in the middle of the street. Her husband seems to be the culprit, and is convicted, but everything becomes unclear when a local newspaper editor receives some strange phone calls, and more women start to disappear. There's a shocker around every corner!

Along the way, we find out that a whole town can be obsessed with peaches, that confessions should at least be written down, and that no one is ever safe. Anywhere!

Something’s Fishy on the Golf Course

Recently, during the PGA Tour's Valspar Championship in Palm Harbor, Florida, an osprey swooped down and grabbed a fish out of a water hazard and began to fly away.  But as they say in golf, the bird foozled and dropped the fish on the grass in the middle of the course. TV cameras captured the moment when a fan ran out onto the green, grabbed the fish and returned it to the water.

The osprey is the only hawk species in North America with an almost exclusive diet of live fish.  The osprey has  nostrils that can be closed, which allows it to dive 3 feet down into the water to capture its prey. It also has an outer toe that can be angled backwards to better grasp fish. Whats a word for having toes that point both forward and backward?  Zygodactyl.

Coincidentally some of the first golf balls were made of leather pouches packed tightly with feathers.

Kristy Tallica of Damaged Justice stops by to chat about being a female James Hetfield! This chick ain't no joke, she's got his voice, gear and mannerisms down.

She tells us how she got into music and shares how she joined one of Chicago's premiere tribute bands.

Nel progetto Modelli di Successo è emerso che le persone di successo hanno l’abitudine di ottimizzare il tempo al fine di investirlo nei loro obiettivi. Per fare come loro è quindi importante capire come ottimizzare il tempo al meglio. Per ottimizzare il tempo, migliorare la vostra produttività, aumentare il valore delle vostre giornate ed essere organizzati dovete, per prima cosa, sapere dove lo sprecate.

Today's podcast is the first in our series: GSA Q&A where we take questions from our Golf Strategy Academy members and answer them on the podcast.  Today's question is from Josh in Las Vegas about how he can change his habit of spending too much time over the ball.

What you'll Learn

• Coping techniques for an over active mind
• Geoff Greig's go to method to help golfers ditch extra swing thoughts and focus on rhythm.
• Dave Heinen's technique to prevent those thoughts from ever sinking in in the first place!

Hey Golf Strategy School Marty back with you here again and today we're featuring a question from a Golf Strategy Academy member Joshua out of Las Vegas sent an email wondering, and I love this question because Joshua saying he's struggling with too many swing thoughts. He's noticing that he's taking too long over the ball. He mentions that, let's see here. Been playing well recently but run into problems where I stall over the shot. It's gotten to the point where my League members actually give me crap about how long I take over the ball. Any thoughts on how I could help move beyond this mental block?

​

The reason I chuckle is because I've been there, and I've been there with many other students. And the solution is actually rather easy.

​

Like you said, you actually just get caught up, for whatever reason just hung up over a shot. For most people it's a thousand different swing thoughts going through their head. You know I've got to keep my right arm tucked in, and my left arm straight, and I've got to go 9 o'clock, and my hips got to turn, and all these different things going on in your head. And because you've got a thousand different swing thoughts happening you don't officially execute any of them.

​

There's some really cool brai

Today's podcast is all about a new practice routine that will help you really master your distance control.  It's become one of my favorites and will be headed straight into the Golf Strategy Academy.

The Approach Ladder

This is a game that is intended to be done on the course, but you can probably make it work on a driving range too.  Please remember to always do your FULL PRE SHOT ROUTINE with every shot.  This is one of the most commonly overlooked things in all of golf!

The main idea here is that we practice from different distance intervals for a couple reasons.  We want to randomize our practice and make sure we are training our brain that it has to perform at it's max level on the first attempt.  The other thing we are doing is teaching ourselves not to be afraid of any shot in this series.  By experiencing tiny failures we learn how to handle them, that way when we are on the course​ it's not as intimidating and it's easier to let go of failures if they occur.

Starting at 30 yards simply drop a ball, play it as it lies and hit into the green.  If it stays on the green you move back 20 yards and do it again.  If you miss you move forward until you hit the green again.

• If you stay on the green move back one spot (from 30 yards to 50 yards)
• If you miss the green on any shot you move forward one spot (if you miss at 150 move up to 130)

Ian C.

I was skeptical that Marty was going to be able to help me without making any swing changes, but low and behold after working through a few of his structured practices I shot a new personal best!

 

Advanced Learners

If this practice turns out to be too easy for you you can mix it up a little bit with this extra rule.

• If any shot stops within 20 feet move back two spots! (ex: 30 back to 70)
• If any shot misses the green by more than 20 feet you move up two spots (ex: 150 to 110)

Adding this type of variable increases the pressure during the practice, which makes it even more effective when you take it out on to the course!

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.

EPISODE FEATURED GUEST: Michael Napoleon and Kyle Shay, creators of Super Speed Golf.

IN THIS PODCAST EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:

• What is Super Speed Golf?

• • 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.

• Unique ways to get someone to their peak performance

• • 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?

• Benefits of overspeed training

• • 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.

• Balancing out the body

• • 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.

• Levels of Super Speed

This week's episode is brought to you by the Golf Ball Locator App www.golfballlocatorapp.com.

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.

Ali Siddiq met me at the Comedy Store to talk about prison. I always knew prison life was hard, but damn. I didn't know about all of this. Ali spent 6 years locked away with some of the most violent criminals in Texas. This is a great episode and really fun and interesting.
