Ep. 126 What If Your Swing Isn't The Problem?

Send us Fan MailThis week Steve and Andy open the show with an overdue discussion about State of Origin before eventually remembering it's a golf podcast.After wrapping up another month of the Missing Links Golf Show Championship — including another dramatic dice-of-truth playoff — the conversation turns to something far more important than scorecards.Andy shares a significant shift in his approach to golf improvement. After months of chasing technical swing changes, he's questioning whether feel, intuition and better decision-making might be the smarter path forward for a busy golfer trying to balance work, family and competition.The discussion dives into: Why practice rounds may be more valuable than technical work  The difference between process-focused and outcome-focused putting  Building a reliable wedge game without becoming a human launch monitor  Why good tempo can hide a lot of technical imperfections Steve then opens up about the challenges his family has faced following his son's Type 1 diabetes diagnosis and how it has reshaped his priorities, expectations and relationship with golf.It's an honest conversation about balancing ambition with reality, understanding what matters most, and recognising that every season of life requires a different approach.Plus, stay tuned to the end for another addition to the growing world of Missing Links Golf Rock: "The Missing Links Blues."-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Join the fun by entering The Missing Links Yearly Championship to compete with Steve, Andy and other Pilgrims from all across the world.
