Summary

532: Dave Johnson is the longtime Director of Instruction at Rooster Run Golf Course in Petaluma, CA. In this interesting conversation, Dave talks about how we can turn 3 shots into 2 around the green knocking 5-10 strokes off each round! By chipping using a putting stroke with your irons, the RULE of 12 will help you gauge how far the ball will roll once it lands on a level dry putting surface. Dave also talks about how being a contrarian has made him a better golf instructor, the lessons he’s learned from a 9 year old, how hand/eye coordination is overrated for golf, and his most influential teachers.http://DaveJohnsonGolf.comThis complete interview can be seen on GolfSmarterTV at https://youtu.be/0w5pGpqFOM8Listen to end of this episode to hear more details about additional exclusive discounts for Golf Smarter listeners on last week’s High Heat golf clubs from KnuthGolf.comPlease visit the all new GolfSmarter.com and click on the Survey icon next to the Hey Fred button, to take our brief multiple choice survey so that we can learn more about you, what you like, and what you don't like about the Golf Smarter Podcast.For exclusive content and first access check out Corrected Mistakes on Substack: https://substack.com/@correctedmistake Learn more about your ad choices.

We're at Rooster Run in Petaluma, one of my favorite courses locally. I play here a lot. It's my favorite flat course. It is. It's a great walking course. It's a great walking course. I walk the hilly courses too, but this is my favorite.
0:40.3	It's definitely my favorite flat course. Because there's challenge to it. I mean, it's not some of the flat courses in the area. I say that they're good for my ego, right? When I'm not playing well or I haven't played in a while, I'll go out to those
0:55.0	courses and just like, oh, I can shoot an 80 here and I feel great about myself. Then I come
