    Transferring Your Skills

    Why can you stripe it on the range but not when it matters? In this episode, we unpack the gap between practice and performance—and what it really takes to transfer skills from a controlled setting to the course. From Scott Fawcett’s DECADE framework to blackjack analogies, we dig into decision-making, judgment, and why context always matters. We explore how conservative swings under pressure can backfire, why warmups aren’t fortune tellers, and the training principles—spacing, randomizing, experimenting with extremes—that create freedom when it counts. If you’ve ever walked off the range feeling ready, only to tighten up on the first tee, this one’s for you.

    Q & A 9.0

    We’re back....... In episode 44 of The Golf Beneath the Surface Podcast we started off by answering questions on the difference between freedom and perfection. We unpack Scottie Scheffler’s “decoupling” of identity from golf, the arrival fallacy, and how intrinsic motivation fuels consistency. We cover journaling that actually changes behavior, the four core needs kids have in sports, and why chasing “perfect” mechanics kills freedom on the course. Plus: simple grip fixes, what great caddies look for (fast return to baseline), and the best advice we’ve ever gotten. Enjoy!

    Q & A 8.0

    You asked and we answered. In this Q and A, the boys explore topics such as: letting go vs. trying too hard, what it takes to reset after anger, and why out-of-position swings demand more athleticism—not less. We also dig into what college coaches should look for when recruiting players, how parents can create more resilient kids, and why multitasking only works in non-judgmental spaces. A wide-ranging conversation on performance, presence, and the risks we have to take to play freely. Enjoy’
