Summary

888: Jaacob Bowden of swingmangolf.com and jaacobbowden.com was convinced that someday he would be a competitive Tour level golfer. He’s now been around the game for 20 years and his quest has brought him to the World Speed Golf Championships, Long Drive Competitions, and becoming an excellent golf instructor. In this episode we discuss his journey and how golfers at any age or skill level can increase their swing speeds which results in greater distance.This week on Golf Smarter Mulligans #204, is #5 of 9 episodes featuring our conversations with Tony Manzoni. This episode covers shot making at growing up in the shadow of greatness, like Frank Sinatra Jr, Steph Curry, Ken Griffey Jr, and more. Tony was an amazing golf instructor who passed away in 2018. We first met him in 2009, and in the dozen or so times he was on the podcast with us, emails flooded in with more positive feedback than any other teacher featured. Tony’s book, The Lost Fundamental, One Simple Move, Better Golf Forever, which was out of print when he passed away, is once again available on Amazon including Kindle format. Tony’s video of the same name was also out of circulation, but can now be seen online.
