My guest on this episode needs no introduction as he is a legend in the game and one of my childhood heroes. He is 14 time PGA Tour winner, including the 1983 PGA Champion where he beat Jack Nicklaus buy 1 and the 1983 and 2000 Players champion where he held off Tiger Woods and you guessed it, the owner of one of the most famous golf lines after hitting his second shot into the 18th green....."Be the right club. Be the right club today" He was the 1983 leading money winner and player of the year and also the comback player of the year in 1994. He played on 4 Ryder Cups and was the captain of the 2004 American squad.... You guessed it I am talking about Mr. Hal Sutton. Its also worth mentioning that he was the recipient of the 2007 Payne Stewart award. So I thought as the Ryder cup approaches, who better to talk to than someone who lived it. We had an amazing discussion that included his father's influence on his life and some of the decisions that he made to how he dealt with the low points and adversity in his career to much more. This is one of the few times that I have been nervous before going into an interview because I have so much respect for Hal, his career and how lives his life and his contributions to the game so give me some grace on this one. We didn't get to half of the topics and questions that I had prepared so hopefully there will be a part 2 but It was an honor to sit down with the legend. This conversation is filled with so many great stories and life lessons that you can apply to your life and golf. So without further delay, here is Hal Sutton...enjoy!

The long awaited spinoff of the Golf Guru Show is finally here! Guru and his friend Jake Thurm @JakeThurmgolf host the "Hitting It Sideways Golf Show" where they cover golf instruction, movies, life and hacks and personal development ideas, and of course wine!. This episode covers the move sideways, the great short game debate (steep vs. shallow) and how the boys coach the short game.  We are at over 170 or so episodes and counting so I have interviewed so many great and legendary coaches but this episode is a little different as I am recording with my great friend and top coach, teacher of tour players and the US junior golf coach and all around great guy and a legend in his own mind, Mr. Jake Thurm. You can follow Jake on all social platforms @jakethurmgolf as he is a must-follow. We are calling this the "Hitting It Sideways Golf Show" where the goal was to come together every couple of months and discuss not only teaching topics, what we are doing with our players etc., but our combined love for movies, book ideas, life and personal growth hacks and ideas and alot more. There were mentions of the importance of manscaping shaving knees, to the Mexican anti-inflamatory gel that I am applying to my knee and many more shenanigans and laughs as we get deeper in the wine goggles.  This format stemmed from his last visit to the podcast where we drank a lot of wine and chopped it up on my couch which was a huge hit, so we decided to try it out as a random show per se. Regardless, we had a great time catching up, sharing ideas and stories all the while drinking some good wine and getting sideways/ tipsy for sure by the end of this almost 2 and half hour kickoff in which I am splitting into 2 parts. So I hope you enjoy the first attempt at the Hitting it sideways while getting sideways golf show with my friend, the brilliant and entertaining, Jake Thurm. enjoy   Big thanks to our sponsor Isztuzi Golf and their continued support and counsel for my little project.  Please go and download the app by clicking the link Istuzi App (click here)   and give them a follow on instagram Follow Istruzi on Instagram (click here)   Let me know how you liked the show and feel free to leave a review on apple or spotify podcasts.   I Love ya'll   Guru Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode we explore a variety of topics such as coaching elite juniors, club design and wedge play as well as the challenges of coaching an elite junior that is your son where he turns the pod around and asked for my advice on this subject. This is one of my favorite convos in awhile as we just roll into so many great learning moments in golf and in his personal life with his incredible daily habits where Shawn gets up at 4:30 on weekdays to workout which is very inspiring to me as I used to do that with my distance running.
