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.

It's an old joke with golf pros. The student comes to you and said, well, if I could just get that ball off the tea closer to the hole. And we say, well, that's conceptually you have the idea right. And they go, what do you mean? I said, well, I'll give you 20 yards off every tea. But my guess is you probably won't beat your last golf score. What do you mean? well I'll give you 20 yards right so you give the guy 20 yards but it's on the same line that he hit it

so if it's going towards the right rough now it's deep in the rough at 20 more yards and if it's

in the center of the only then he gets 20 yards closer right but most people really wouldn't

improve that much with the extra 20 yards surprisingly for most people that they would actually struggle just as much. So the reality is when they start doing, and that's my coaching is going in that direction, is more, I would say, real-time assessment. I'm offering a product now to my students called Shot by Shot, which analyzes your game in real time, and you do it yourself.

It's real simple.

You rate your drives 1 through 6.

Did you hit the green?

Did you not hit the green?

And then we find out what you did inside of 50 yards.

Never let a bad golf swing get in the way of a good round with PGA certified instructor John Grund. This is Golf Smarter Premium. Here's your host, Fred Green.

Welcome back to the Golf Smarter Podcast, John. Thanks, Fred. Good to be here.

It's great to see you again. Tell me what's going on in your life. I appreciate you coming here today because I know that you're leaving town first thing in the morning, right? Yep. Where are you going? I'm going to a golf tournament. And you're playing. You're not watching. I'm playing. Yeah. The first time I've played in about seven months, since September, first golf tournament for me. I got a little accident, little injury, so I'm

coming back from that and trying to play. And what is the, what's the tournament? It's the senior

PGA, Northern Cal's Senior PGA match play championship. Okay. So members of the PGA of Northern

California, who also happen to be members of the national PGA, club professionals.

It's our senior section championship, and it's match play.

Okay.
