Why Hockey Players Keep Beating Us at Golf

from Those Weekend Golf Guys Hosted by Bleav + Those Weekend Golf Guys

Jeff and John got rolling on all things golf, bouncing from putting to fairways to the little tweaks that actually shave strokes. Jeff went deep on the putting side — talking eye dominance, why speed control is king, and why three‑putting is basically donating strokes to the golf gods. They even wandered into the wild world of side‑saddle putting, mostly to remind everyone why almost nobody sticks with it. From there, they hit on full‑swing strategy: knowing your real distances (not the ones you brag about), picking the right club for the lie, and respecting wind like it’s a living, breathing opponent. And of course, they had to mention how hockey players keep showing up and embarrassing everyone with their natural golf swings. Jeff sprinkled in wisdom from his golf schools, hammering home the basics — hit more fairways, control your speed on the greens, and stop pretending your 7‑iron goes 185. Naturally, the guys drifted into some classic off‑course chatter too: food delivery disasters, sports announcers who drive them nuts, and a little college sports talk for good measure. And yes, John wrapped things up with a nod to FanDuel, reminding listeners to fire up the app if they’re feeling lucky. Jeff and John dive into a full round of golf talk — from putting fundamentals to fairway strategy and everything in between. Jeff breaks down why speed control is the real secret to better putting, how eye dominance affects alignment, and why most golfers should stay far, far away from side‑saddle putting. They get into the nuts and bolts of scoring better: hit more fairways, know your actual club distances, and factor in wind, lie, and slope instead of pretending they don’t exist. The guys also have fun with the ongoing trend of hockey players dominating golf, thanks to their balance, rotation, and hand‑eye skills. Jeff pulls from his golf schools to highlight the biggest amateur mistakes — three‑putting, bad club selection, and fantasy‑land yardages. Off the course, the conversation drifts into food delivery mishaps, sports announcers who make them crazy, and a little college sports banter. Presented by FanDuel, with John reminding listeners to fire up the app and get in the game.
