Most golfers chase a prettier swing and get worse. Adam Young - author of the international bestseller The Practice Manual and one of the most data-driven coaches in golf - joins Chris Finn to explain why the best players in the world have "ugly" swings that work, and why nearly every bad shot comes down to just three measurable things. In this episode, you'll learn: The "Big 3" behind almost every bad shot: ground contact, face contact, and face direction Why a 6-millimeter strike difference turns a flush shot into a chunk - and why your swing didn't change How Scheffler, Furyk, and Gotterup prove function beats form The simple finger system for measuring your misses without a $25,000 launch monitor The ball-flight algorithm that fixes your path with zero swing thoughts Why 60%+ of a good player's errors are mental faults - club selection, target selection, commitment - not swing flaws Connect with Adam: Get early access to his new tracking app: adamyounggolf.com/app Free drills + weekly newsletter: adamyounggolf.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Claim Your FREE Home Assessment: https://go.par4success.com/podcast Follow Par4Success: Instagram: @par4success TikTok: @p4sgolf YouTube: @Par4Success Facebook: @P4SGolf
Your Trackman numbers don't just show ball flight - they show what your body can and can't do. In this episode, Chris Finn breaks down the difference between a swing problem and a body problem, including the story of a Tour pro whose path change was the first warning sign of an injury nobody caught. In this episode, you'll learn: Why chasing numbers on a sim without knowing your physical limitations leads to injury Where launch monitor data actually belongs - fittings, progress tracking, and diagnosing what changed How to tell if a bad stretch is a swing issue, an intent issue, or a body issue The "one number, one feel" practice framework the best players use to match feel to real The early warning signs in your data that your body is breaking down before pain shows up Not sure what your body can and can't do? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Claim Your FREE Home Assessment: https://go.par4success.com/podcast Follow Par4Success: Instagram: @par4success TikTok: @p4sgolf YouTube: @Par4Success Facebook: @P4SGolf
Most golfers over 40 accept the same three-step path: anti-inflammatories, a cortisone shot, then surgery. Dr. Steve Matta built his practice around a different option. Dr. Matta is the founder and chief physician of Meeting Point Health, a performance-driven medical practice specializing in regenerative orthopedics and longevity medicine. He is board-certified in family and sports medicine, holds additional certifications in stem cell and peptide therapy, is a TPI Level 3 Medical professional, and teaches peptide therapy to physicians through the Seeds Scientific Research and Performance Institute. In this episode, Chris and Dr. Matta break down what regenerative medicine actually looks like for the aging golfer: What peptides are, how they work, and the specific compounds Dr. Matta uses for injury recovery, strength gains, and even first-tee nerves Why the source of your peptides matters - and the real risks of gray-market and gas station products When PRP is the right call, when stem cells are worth the investment, and when it is time to consider surgery Why injections without rehab fall short, and how regenerative treatments and physical training work together How to think about the cost of cutting-edge care when insurance will not cover it Whether you are managing golfer's elbow, back pain, or knee arthritis, this conversation gives you a framework for evaluating options beyond the standard medical playbook.

What separates a good instructor from one who has coached two PGA Tour winners since childhood? Ted Kiegiel - Director of Golf at Carolina Country Club and one of the most respected teachers in the game - joins Chris Finn to pull back the curtain on how elite coaches actually develop players. Ted has spent his career at Augusta National, The Country Club in Brookline, and Maidstone Club before landing at Carolina CC. He coached Webb Simpson and Grayson Murray from age 9. He also holds black belts in martial arts - which shaped how he reads movement, force generation, and body patterns long before TrackMan existed. In this conversation, Ted shares the exact frameworks he uses with every player - the 3-Pod System, the 20-20-20 practice structure, his OOPS method for on-course prep, and the 3-question post-round debrief that cuts through noise and gets to what actually matters in your game. If you've ever wondered what a world-class instructor is actually thinking when you step onto the tee for the first time - this episode answers that question in full. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Claim Your FREE Home Assessment: https://go.par4success.com/podcast Follow Par4Success: Instagram: @par4success TikTok: @p4sgolf YouTube: @Par4Success Facebook: @P4SGolf
You didn't lose your distance because you're getting older. You lost it because your body changed and your training didn't. In this solo episode, Chris Finn breaks down exactly why golfers in their 40s, 50s, and 60s lose club speed - and why age is the correlation, not the cause. Using data from over 15,000 golfers, Chris walks through what's actually driving your distance loss and the exact sequence to reverse it. You'll learn: Why the "I'm just getting older" explanation is costing you 30+ yards The three mobility limitations that shorten your backswing and kill your speed Why your "seven iron" probably isn't a seven iron anymore How low-weight, high-rep workouts are neurologically training your body to go slower The three-phase fix - mobility, strength, and transfer training - and the realistic timeline for each Why golfers who do the right things gain 20-30 yards in year one and only lose 2 mph over the next decade while everyone else loses 10 The distance you've lost isn't gone forever.

Chris sits down with SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio host and Golf Digest Top Teacher Greg DuCharme - one of the youngest coaches ever named to the list and a familiar voice to anyone who tunes into New Breed of Golf Monday through Friday - to pull back the curtain on what it actually takes to cover professional golf at the highest level. Greg breaks down how a live radio show gets built from scratch every day, why preparation never really stops, and what separates the freedom of radio from the tight scripting of network television. He also gets into the players he's watching most closely in 2026, why back injuries are quietly reshaping the leaderboard, and the young guns he thinks are on the verge of becoming household names. If you've ever called into a golf radio show or wondered how the guys in the booth always seem to have the right stat at the right moment - this episode is for you. In this episode: How a five-day-a-week radio show gets researched, structured, and prepped - and why it never really ends Why TV golf coverage is far more scripted than it sounds - and what that means for the talent on screen The three players Greg is watching most closely heading into the Masters - and the injuries quietly changing the conversation Michael Brennan, Jacob Bridgman, and the next wave of PGA Tour talent Greg is most excited about Why aggressive iron play works against most amateurs - and the data-backed strategy Stuart Sink used to start winning again Connect with Greg: SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio - Channel 92 | Mon-Wed 9-11 AM ET, Thu-Fri 9 AM-12 PM ET | Call in: 866-469-0026 Second Cut Podcast - YouTube Twitter/X - @therealGFD Claim Your FREE Home Assessment: https://go.par4success.com/podcast Follow Par4Success: Instagram: @par4success TikTok: @p4sgolf YouTube: @Par4Success Facebook: @P4SGolf
Chris breaks down one of the most talked-about medications in the country - and what nobody is telling golfers who are on it. GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic are delivering real weight loss results, but up to 40% of that weight loss comes directly from lean muscle mass - the same muscle that drives club head speed, powers rotation, and keeps you off the injury list. Chris walks through what the data actually shows, why it's possible to lose weight and get fatter at the same time, and exactly what to do about it if you want to protect your golf game while you're on these medications. If you or someone you play with is on a GLP-1 and nobody has talked to you about strength training, protein targets, or baseline testing - this episode is for you. In this episode: Why up to 40% of GLP-1 weight loss comes from muscle - not fat How to lose weight and actually get fatter at the same time The four movements that matter most when your energy and calories are limited Why protein intake is harder - and more important - on GLP-1s than most people realize How to track what you're actually losing so your golf game doesn't pay the price Claim Your FREE Home Assessment: https://go.par4success.com/podcast Follow Par4Success: Instagram: @par4success TikTok: @p4sgolf YouTube: @Par4Success Facebook: @P4SGolf
Chris sits down with Golf Digest Top International Teacher Andreas Kali - a coach who has produced DP World Tour and LPGA Tour winners, multiple NCAA All-Americans, and two national championships - to talk about what actually separates great ball strikers from everyone else. Andreas breaks down his three-part framework for diagnosing any golfer at any level - from the 25-handicapper to the tour pro he watched at Valspar last week - and the one fundamental that matters more than grip, alignment, or swing plane. He also gets into how he builds junior players from once-a-week beginners into touring professionals, why autonomy in practice matters more than structured drills, and how body changes during growth spurts affect movement patterns in ways that follow a player for life. If you have been watching your swing on your phone and trying to fix things that aren't actually the problem, this episode is for you. In this episode: The three fundamentals every ball striker must control - and the one most amateurs never address Why where the club bottoms out matters more than how you hold it What Sergio Garcia and Tommy Fleetwood do that most amateurs do the opposite of How the Danish Junior Golf Academy develops tour players without a full-time physical trainer Why physical training for golfers is really about longevity and practice capacity - not just speed Connect with Andreas: Free newsletter - andreaskaligolf.com Instagram - @andreaskaligolf Online courses available at andreaskaligolf.com: Tour Pro Contact, Harness the Draw, and Stop the Slice ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Claim Your FREE Home Assessment: https://go.par4success.com/podcast Follow Par4Success: Instagram: @par4success TikTok: @p4sgolf YouTube: @Par4Success Facebook: @P4SGolf
AI can now analyze your golf swing in seconds. But the real question is—should you trust it? In this episode of the Golf Fitness Bomb Squad, Chris Finn shares a clear, no-hype breakdown of where AI fits into golf performance today—and where it still falls short. You’ll learn: What AI actually gets right when analyzing your swing Why it struggles to understand context, intent, and your physical capabilities The difference between swing analysis and true coaching How missing the “why” and “how” can lead to bad advice Why most AI tools today only get you to the “right stadium”, not your exact solution How to use AI as a supplement to coaching, not a replacement If you’re already experimenting with AI, or thinking about it, this episode will help you use it smarter and avoid the biggest pitfalls. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Claim Your FREE Home Assessment: https://go.par4success.com/podcast Follow Par4Success: Instagram: @par4success TikTok: @p4sgolf YouTube: @Par4Success Facebook: @P4SGolf

In this episode of The Golf Fitness Bomb Squad, Chris Finn sits down with Ryan Webb—Director of Instruction at Northridge Country Club in Raleigh and one of the most dialed-in coaches in North Carolina—to break down the real bridge between golf fitness and swing instruction. Ryan explains why most golfers chase the wrong fixes (the “4-to-5” move) while ignoring what actually drives everything: setup, trail-side loading, and sequencing. You’ll hear how he uses resistance and “feeding the problem” drills (reactive neuromuscular training) to create instant, no-fluff feel—so your brain learns the motion faster than any swing thought ever could. They walk through common swing faults seen in everyday golfers—pressure in the toes, poor trail-hip rotation, “twisting” instead of loading, steep hand paths, and early extension—and the exact drills Ryan uses to clean them up. Then they go a level deeper: what changes when you’re already a good player, and why higher-level golfers often need more mobility and better shoulder/pelvis timing to match their speed. Watch this one on YouTube—Ryan demos the drills and the swing breakdowns are heavily visual.

Got a member-member, member-guest, or golf trip coming up? The question isn’t just “Can you play?” — it’s “Can your body hold up for multiple days in a row?” In this episode of the Golf Fitness Bomb Squad, Chris Finn breaks down how tour players prepare for events like The Masters — and how you can apply the same principles to your next multi-day tournament. You’ll learn: Why mobility (your “frame and suspension”) is the first thing that breaks down How to assess rotational mobility in your hips, thoracic spine, and shoulders The difference between long-term preparation (building your engine) and short-term recovery strategies The exact 10–15 minute post-round recovery routine that can make a huge difference the next day How soft tissue work, light aerobic recovery, and smart strength work keep pros fresh Whether you have 10 weeks to prepare or your event starts tomorrow, this episode gives you a practical game plan to play strong from round one through the final putt. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Claim Your FREE Home Assessment: https://go.par4success.com/podcast Follow Par4Success: Instagram: @par4success TikTok: @p4sgolf YouTube: @Par4Success Facebook: @P4SGolf
If you’re an equipment junkie (or you’ve ever wondered if a fitting is actually worth it), this episode is for you. Chris Finn sits down with Nick Sherburne, founder and CEO of Club Champion, to break down what most golfers still don’t understand about fitting: it’s not about buying shiny new clubs - it’s about building a data-driven bag that helps you lower your scores. Nick shares the origin story of Club Champion - from a high school range job at Cog Hill, to a garage hobby with a retired club tinkerer, to a two-store grind, to a single round at Olympia Fields that sparked the blueprint for what became a 150+ location fitting powerhouse. They get into: What a true full bag fitting actually is (and why most golfers misunderstand it) Why “I’m not good enough to get fit” is a myth (the ball doesn’t know your handicap) How fittings help eliminate your worst misses - not just optimize your best swings The real reason your new speed gains can break your driver Why stock shafts aren’t “bad”… they’re just built for the masses The next frontier: AI-assisted fitting and using on-course data (Arccos-style tracking) to keep your bag optimized over time If you’ve ever chased distance, fought a big miss, or felt like your clubs don’t match your swing anymore - this episode will change how you think about equipment.

What if aging didn’t mean losing speed? In this episode of the Golf Fitness Bomb Squad, Chris Finn breaks down the long game of physical development — and why most golfers are playing it wrong. While the average golfer loses up to 10 mph per decade, those who follow the right process lose closer to 2 mph… and often gain 6–10 mph in their first year. Chris walks through the Performance Pyramid that’s helped golfers in their 70s and 80s swing faster than they did 15 years ago: Why rotational mobility is the foundation How strength protects speed as elasticity declines The relationship between strength, power, and clubhead speed Where transfer training blends fitness with instruction Why speed training only works if you’ve built the base If you want to play great golf into your 50s, 60s, 70s and beyond, this episode gives you the framework to build — and maintain — a body that supports your game for the long haul. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Claim Your FREE Home Assessment: https://go.par4success.com/podcast Follow Par4Success: Instagram: @par4success TikTok: @p4sgolf YouTube: @Par4Success Facebook: @P4SGolf
