Welcome to Golf Smarter Mulligans.

Your second chance to gain insight and advice from the best instructors featured on the Golf Smarter podcast.

Great golf instruction never gets old.

Our interview library features hundreds of hours of game improvement conversations like this that are no longer available in any podcast app. You have to take them on the golf course. I don't think you can teach that management standing on the driving range. What I would do is get that person on the golf course, stand on the tea, and look down the fairway and have them tell me what's out there. What do they see? Where's the trouble?

Where don't you want to go? They'll convince themselves. They say, well, it's all water down the

right hand side. I definitely don't want to go there. So you get them to actually see a picture

of the hole and where's the best place to play that and then start working on club selection.

You know, this is a little tight driving hole.

What club do you have the most confidence in?

You know, I really like my seven wood.

Okay, so hit your seven wood off his teeth.

Put the next shot in play, get it inside 100 yards to the green,

and then get it on the green, two-putt, walk away with bogey.
