Coming to you from sunny Marana, Arizona, I've got my eyes set on my trusty net, gearing up for our weekly Live Lesson Fridays. Picture this: players from all corners of the globe connecting via Zoom, sharing swings, and getting personalized lessons right from the comfort of their own home. Now, let's talk practice. Ever feel like you're just spinning your wheels at the driving range? That's where home practice comes in clutch. It's about targeted, focused sessions that actually make a...

I'm pumped to be back on the podcast, and what better way to kick things off than by talking about transformation. You know, that feeling of looking in the mirror and barely recognizing yourself because you've crushed your goals? That's what I'm going for, not just with my own health (hence the 75 Hard challenge I'm starting - wish me luck!), but also with your golf game. Now, I know what you're thinking: "75 days to transform my swing? No way!" But hear me out. This isn't about endless...

In this episode, Craig delves into a topic that many golfers can relate to—the importance of getting a head start on your golf game for future success. We often make the mistake of thinking that the issues we're facing right now are solely a result of our current actions. However, in golf and life, there's a lag time, typically ranging from 60 to 120 days, before our present efforts bear fruit. Craig highlights the common human tendency to expect immediate results. We tend to believe that if...

Craig kicks off the podcast by debunking the myth that improving your game is a Herculean task. He emphasizes that the real challenge lies in the inconsistency of methods and swing thoughts, rather than the difficulty of the game itself. One of the key takeaways from this episode is the importance of taking action. Craig discusses the concept of "live lesson Fridays," where members send in their swings for analysis and receive live lessons. He shares a specific case of a player named Jim,...

This is something that is missed in so many lesson programs. They just don't talk about the process of making a swing change. And if you don't know the process, you're going to get derailed over and over and over because bumps in the road are going to come up that are 100% predictable.  But if you don't understand the process, you'll think there's something wrong with you when in fact, what you are going through in the course of that swing change is 100% normal and you should be...

If you heard part 1 (the previous episode), you understand things that most players never do like... Why MOST time spent on the range is a waste... AND... Why ball flight can be a distraction and seeing ball flight while practicing can actually SLOW or STOP your progress.  Those things are 100% true.  But today I want to qualify the statement that the range is a waste of time.  Because there ARE times when ball flight is all that matters.  Give it a listen! By the way... If you're a...

For peak motivation, humans need to be working on a skill that’s at the edge of their capabilities.  It can't be too hard.  And it can't be too easy.  It has to be just right.  That's the Goldilocks rule.  And today we're talking about how to apply it to improving your game.  If you're a 12+ handicap player who's ready to take action, visit www.facefirstgolf.com to learn how to swing from the inside and make a forearm rollover release (instead of the dreaded chicken wing) so you can...

Too many players end up "dabbling" with improving their game instead of taking real action.  If your handicap is over 12, the skill you have to learn to unlock the effortless power that's inside of you is the skill of swinging your downswing path from the inside and making a full forearm rollover release through and after impact.  And it CAN be learned.  But sadly the VAST majority of 12+ handicap players will never learn it simply because they don't understand the steps to taking a swing...
