Skill Acquisition

In this episode, Claude shares a powerful lesson from his time at The Open Championship with Dustin Johnson, and why it changed the way he thinks about practice. While many golfers rely on block practice to sharpen their technique, Claude explains how random practice — and giving yourself real problems to solve — leads to skill acquisition and more consistent execution on the course. ________   This episode of Son of a Butch is brought to you by PLATFORM Golf — the world-class solution bringing uneven lies to off-course golf.   Whether you’re hitting indoors on a simulator or training from an in-to-out bay, PLATFORM Golf lets you practice like you’re out on the course — with sidehill, uphill, and downhill lies adjusting right beneath your feet.   It’s the first-of-its-kind solution giving players and coaches the ability to replicate real-world conditions, in or out of the studio.
