With so much golf instruction information available online, why can’t golfers simply teach themselves? Erik, Jayson, and Tyson discuss the challenges of objectively analyzing your own swing, prioritizing what actually needs attention, and avoiding the rabbit holes that come from chasing individual tips or treating symptoms instead of root causes. Even golfers with a strong understanding of swing mechanics can struggle to recognize their own tendencies and overcome personal biases. They also discuss why instructors need instructors themselves, how a good coach can push a player beyond what they’d attempt on their own, and why even the world’s best players continue to work with coaches. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with figuring things out independently if that’s what you enjoy or golf is simply about having fun with friends.

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