Hello and welcome to Flaghunters ! It is a privilege to bring to you this powerful insight into playing better Golf. In all my years of being in the game of Golf from competing at a high amateur level, to caddying, teaching, and being a overall Golf geek, I have an insatiable, curiosity driven desire to get down to the bottom of what it takes to truly get better playing the game of Golf that we all unconditionally love. This has been one of the greatest journeys of my life and I am deeply grateful for all that Golf has given me. Thank you for joining me in this incredible journey. This is my ever evolving love letter to Golf. Jesse Perryman P.S. Please Rate, Review and Subscribe !

Send us Fan Mail We sit down with Karl Morris to dig into The Mind Caddy and the Mind Factor certification, then we challenge the myth that great golf requires perfect thoughts or a perfect state. We break down how attention, acceptance, and adaptable tasks help us access the skills we already have when pressure shows up. • Karl’s motivation for writing an accessible mental game book built around 46 real coaching lessons • why “being in the zone” is not the goal and how top players perform with uncomfortable thoughts • attention as the currency of performance and the skill of becoming an “attention detective” • separating from thoughts by changing our relationship to them rather than trying to control them • managing the in-between time on the course using senses, awareness, and simple resets • stable confidence through accepting the reality of ones, twos, and threes in every round • using pre-round journaling and “if then” planning to avoid default reactions under stress • adaptability over consistency and letting the shot create the swing on the course • shrinking the task when the world feels too big and noticing the stories we tell ourselves The book, The Mind Caddy, it’s available across the world on Amazon.

Send us Fan Mail We sit down with Swedish PGA pro and former long drive record holder Marcus Edblad to dig into why so many golfers chase the wrong kind of speed.

Send us Fan Mail We sit down with putting coach Bruce Rarick to make putting simpler by matching your setup and equipment to your natural motion instead of forcing a textbook stroke.

Send us Fan Mail Golf shouldn’t come with a side of fear. When your first thought on the tee is “don’t let my back go,” your swing tightens and your brain starts guarding. We sat down with osteopath and author Gavin Rutledge to replace that fear with a clear plan: understand what your pain is (and isn’t), use the right movements at the right time, and train a back your brain can trust. Gavin demystifies sciatica by showing it’s a description, not a diagnosis, and breaks down the difference between nerve compression and referred pain in plain language. We dig into why some stretches feel great but set you back hours later, how to spot signs of instability, and why most golfers need more mid‑back and hip mobility alongside lower‑back stability. You’ll hear practical warm‑up advice for busy players who sprint from work to the first tee, plus the simple rules that guide safe progress: use it but don’t abuse it, start low and build slow. We also explore proven prevention tools like the McGill Big Three and posterior‑chain training to wake up glutes and hamstrings dulled by sitting. What makes this conversation different is the mind‑body clarity. Gavin shares his pain equation—how nociception, attention, pain memory, and mindset interact—and shows how safe, confident movement and better stories quiet the alarm. We connect this science to performance: when your back is strong and your plan is measured, the subconscious stops protecting and your swing can finally release. If you want to play multiple days, in any weather, without guarding, this is your blueprint for pain‑free and confident golf.

Send us Fan Mail Want to hit it farther without wrecking your back or your confidence? We sit down with long drive champion Eddie Fernandes to unpack a smarter path to speed—one that starts with better movement, safe rotation, and a nervous system that says yes instead of no. Eddie explains why fast arms and strong hands are the true engine of clubhead speed, how to load the trail side without shredding the lumbar spine, and why cadence beats “ripping from the top” when you want both power and control. Eddie walks us through his Rotex Motion warm-up: five intentional drills that push rotational limits beyond swing demands so the body feels free, oily, and ready on swing one. He shares why air swings often backfire and how impact-based training triggers bracing that protects joints and converts effort into ball speed. We get into the design of his HITS driver—adjustable weights, real contact, and clear protocols—and how he turns after-session spikes into on-course speed within 8 to 16 weeks. No hype, just a repeatable process built on mobility, impact, and disciplined progression. We also dig into mindset. Eddie’s 82 at Pebble followed by 68 at Spyglass shows how emotional skill and acceptance unlock performance under pressure. Expect practical insights on rotational mobility, arms-led speed, sequencing, and realistic goal setting, plus why training indoors helps you focus on the metric that matters. If you want sustainable distance, healthier movement, and a calmer head over the ball, this conversation gives you the blueprint.
