Ep. 122 Playing Golf, Not Golf Swing

Send us Fan MailAfter the emotional fallout from Duntryleague, Steve and Andy hit reset.This week on The Missing Links Golf Show, the boys unpack a huge question facing every time-poor golfer:Are we spending too much time practicing golf swing… and not enough time actually playing golf?Andy dives deep into the rabbit hole of technical swing changes inspired by Adam Scott, bowed wrists, shallowing moves and YouTube swing theories — before a brutally honest conversation with a former touring pro forces him to rethink everything.Meanwhile, Steve explores the balance between technical practice and actually learning how to score, compete, manage pressure and play the game.The episode covers: Why “playing golf” and “playing golf swing” are very different things  The hidden dangers of endless technical practice  How limited practice time changes the improvement equation  Why scoring, decision-making and pressure matter more than perfect mechanics  Practice games that actually translate to better golf  The value of playing from forward tees  Using practice rounds to improve mental game skills  Why purpose matters every time you tee it up It’s one of the most honest and practical conversations the boys have had about improvement, expectations and finding a sustainable path forward as mid-life golfers chasing better golf.Plus, the international release of another classic golf song...--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Join the fun by entering The Missing Links Yearly Championship to compete with Steve, Andy and other Pilgrims from all across the world.
