Summary

787: Anthony “Tony” Wright is a custom club fitter, putting guru, and disciple of the the founding father of golf sports psychology, the late Dr. Carey Mumford. In this conversation that covers the benefits of being fitted for clubs, especially for high handicappers, we also talk about and share some of Carey Mumford’s “Clear Key System”. Dr. Mumford, who passed away in 2013, was on Golf Smarter twice (now available in Golf Smarter Mulligans episodes 16 & 26) so we share some highlights of those conversations. Unfortunately, Mr Mumford’s website ClearKeyGolf.com and his books “The Double Connexion”, “Golf’s Best Kept Secret”, “The Putting Book”, and “The Mental Game” are no longer available anywhere. Tony has his own podcast focused on clubmaking called Game Improvement Golf.This week on Golf Smarter Mulligans 103, is the 6th of nine episodes with Tony Manzoni (RIP). So many listeners confuse with Tony’s swing with Stack & Tilt. Tony addresses the difference and why Stack & Tilt may work for some, but will eventually create back problems. Tony’s book “The Lost Fundamental: One Simple Move. Better Golf Forever.” is available once again in either paperback or kindle formats. Find it at https://www.amazon.com/Lost-Fundamental-Simple-Better-Forever-ebook/dp/B07MZFSPBW/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=tony+manzoni&qid=1583280371&sr=8-1. This episode is brought to you by GetMr.com.
