In this episode, Jon and Adam explore a simple question: what does actually getting better at golf look like beyond just shooting lower scores? They break down practical, experience-based signs of improvement - from losing fewer balls and avoiding compounding mistakes to making better strategic decisions when things go wrong. The conversation dives deep into course management, adaptability, mental crutches like mulligans and gimmies, and why better golfers tend to miss in smarter places. A wide-ranging, honest discussion that helps golfers recalibrate their expectations and recognize real progress long before it shows up on the scorecard.

As we enter the Winter season, many golfers will be looking to upgrade their indoor practice. I've been trusting The Indoor Golf Shop for years and recommending them to anyone who wants to improve their home setup.

They offer all the top launch monitor brands, including SkyTrak, Uneekor, and Foresight, and regularly run sales. They also have everything you need for your indoor practice - hitting mats, golf nets, impact screens, and custom enclosures.

If you're looking for a custom residential build to have the simulator of your dreams, their team can make that happen. They built mine! And their designers can also handle any kind of commercial facility where you're building from scratch or want to make an upgrade.

In this episode, Jon and Adam are joined by club-fitting experts Woody Lashen and Sonny Burgo from Pete's Golf to unpack what’s really going on with the surge in zero-torque style putters, most notably from L.A.B. Golf. They explain who these putters can genuinely help, who they can hurt, and why no putter technology is ever a one-size-fits-all solution. The conversation expands into how elite fitters think about face rotation, weight, loft, grip styles, and even the yips—and why confidence and predictability matter more than chasing trends. A wide-ranging, myth-busting discussion that shows why great putting is less about buying the “right” putter and more about matching the tool to the player.
