That was golden. Thank you both, Randy and Mark!!!
A wonderfil, insightful video. Thanks
Launch monitors are to be slaves, not masters.
This was awesome!
Randy is a national treasure
From 10:30 … about the softness… wow
A common theme amongst coaches with successful players is they stress the importance of the fundamentals but they also stress how the fundamentals are specially curtailed to the player. Let’s find the perfect grip, for you. The perfect ball position, for you. What a great podcast.
Sage wisdom from one of the very best!
Scottie recently said he's been pulling some shots. Randy told him to keep his right arm closer to his body in the downswing. This is their superpower and a result of their loyalty to each other.
