We Don’t Need To Grow The Game - Just Sustain It! Featuring John "Lag" Erickson

904: John Erickson of AdvancedBallStriking.com returns for an interesting conversation about the state of the Tour and today’s style of instruction. When asked what he’d change if he were commissioner of the PGA Tour, he quickly responded with “EVERYTHING!” John has played and won on the PGA Tour around the world and as an old school player, he believes that we’re tinkering too much with equipment and courses. He truly believes that we’ve lost the “game” part of golf and made it too difficult and complicated. He shares why in this thought provoking episode.
This week Golf Smarter Mulligans episode #220, is called “When Was The Last Time You Heard ‘Nice Swing!’?” with John Novasel of Tour Tempo. This is part2 and we go into much more detail on how a 3:1 swing tempo will significantly change your ball contact and scoring. This was originally a Members Only episode, so it’s the first time being shared with the public.
