With winter golf trips on the calendar for many northern players, Erik, Jayson, and Tyson tackle how to approach these getaways without letting expectations ruin the experience. They discuss why most golfers aren’t “peaking” during winter trips, how to prepare your body, swing, and mindset ahead of time, and why simplifying to one swing thought can go a long way. The crew also explores how these trips can be used as a testing ground for winter work, what to prioritize when practice time is limited, and why short game and walking fitness often get overlooked. Most importantly, they remind listeners how to enjoy golf again: playing for the experience, not just the score.

Hosts: Erik J. Barzeski, Jayson Nickol, Tyson Deskins
