Women's US Open at Riviera, Has Golf Coaching Gone Too Technical, and When to Change Coaches

The crew is deep into summer golf season — and this week there's plenty to talk about. First up, the Women's US Open heads to Riviera Country Club, and the guys make the case for why Riv might actually suit the women's game better than the men's. The iconic par-4 10th gets its due, and Coach Clappy shares why he'll be there in person — supporting his student Davina Zand as she competes in the Curtis Cup at Bel-Air.From there, the conversation turns to one of coaching's great debates: has golf instruction become too technical? With launch monitors, video, and biomechanics data at every corner, the guys ask what would happen if you stripped it all away — and why the best coaches in the world often keep it brutally simple. Think Butch Harmon telling Tommy Fleetwood to "shut the door" with his hip.Then it gets personal. Cam Smith's recent move away from long-time coach Grant Field sparks a broader conversation about when it's right to change coaches — and when it isn't. How do you know it's time to move on? What does loyalty really look like? And should coaches be cutting ties with students more often than they do?Next week: TaylorMade's Chris Trott (Trotty Golf) joins to talk equipment fitting — drop your questions now.
