In this episode, Jon and Adam explore why golfers can spend years chasing technical swing changes without actually becoming more skilled or consistent. They discuss why “fewer moving parts” doesn’t necessarily lead to better golf, and how constant internal thinking can pull attention away from the decisions and feel required to actually play the game. Adam explains how differential practice—intentionally changing strike location, face direction, trajectory, and other outcomes—can help golfers build the ability to self-correct rather than depend on a single swing feel. They also cover why meaningful improvement often requires exaggeration, experimentation, and learning the right “dose” of a correction instead of endlessly searching for perfect mechanics. The larger message is that technique still matters, but developing adaptable skills gives golfers a better chance to improve, troubleshoot their games, and carry those gains onto the course.

As the weather gets warmer, staying properly hydrated on the golf course becomes even more important. LMNT’s new Lemonade Iced Tea flavor combines electrolytes, magnesium, and potassium with no sugar or questionable sports drink ingredients, plus caffeine from black tea extract for a steadier energy boost. Because the caffeine comes from tea, it’s naturally paired with L-theanine and polyphenols, which can feel smoother than the spike-and-crash effect of many energy drinks. For golfers looking for hydration and a little back-nine energy, this is a great option to try. With any purchase you're going to get a free sample pack.
