Summary

901: Blake Jirges talks about the value of why golfers of all skill levels would benefit far more from on-course lessons vs just ball striking advice at the range. Breaking 100 isn’t just because you don’t have confidence in your swing, it’s more about the decisions you make during your round. Blake was recently named 2022 Southern California PGA Teacher of the Year and one of Golf Digest’s Best Young Teachers based on his teaching techniques, and performance as a golf instructor. He’s also Director of Player Development at Coto de Caza Golf Club.

0:00.0	If a person breaks 100, there would be a golfer for life, essentially, and that's research-based
0:06.5	done by the proponent group. It's like a hockey stick effect where people break in 100, they play more golf.
0:11.4	It's not necessarily how they need to hit the ball bad. They just need up and down around the greens a little more.
0:15.2	They need to keep the ball and play, make less bad decisions. That's the name of the game.
0:19.6	And the way to go from 80 to 70,
0:21.8	they're already probably hitting 8, 9 greens regulation. The PJ tour averages 11 and a half
0:27.0	on green regulations, or if you include the fridge, it's 12 and a half. So if you kind of just
0:30.5	promote those stats and give them a clear indication that it's not necessarily just the golf swing,
0:34.8	it's a part of the process, but I would say it's managed their
0:38.2	time more effectively. Hi, this is Ken Greenberg from Dallas, Texas, and I play golf frequently
0:44.7	at the courses at Waters Creek. This is golf smarter number 901. Breaking 100 is more than just
0:52.7	working on the range with SoCal PGA teacher of the year, Blake Jurgis.
0:57.7	This is Golf Smarter, sharing stories, tips, and insights from great golf minds to help you lower your score and raise your golf IQ.
1:08.3	Here's your host, Fred Green.
1:13.2	Welcome to the Golf Smarter Podcast, Blake.
1:19.2	Hello, Fred. How you doing, bud? I'm doing good. Thanks. Thanks for having me on. I appreciate it.
1:24.3	Oh, absolutely. You know, people are going to think, oh, I can hear Blake. He's outside. He's, you know,
1:28.4	golf instructor. He's about to give a let. No, he's at Starbucks. So we're just kidding. He's got two little kids. You got two little kids at home. You cannot be doing
1:32.8	your interviews at home. Absolutely not. No, it's a little shoebox. It's like a 14th
1:38.9	square foot free bedroom house. It's my girls take up one room and then my wife and I and pretty much
1:45.2	that's about it. And they're probably playing toys and playing dress up, playing tea party,
1:51.1	whatever it may be. So they're ever a blast right now. So I came to put myself for at Starbucks.
