In this week's Wednesday Wisdom, I discuss the art of getting better at golf and why improvement starts with understanding where your game really sits. I break down how many greens in regulation golfers of different handicap levels typically hit, and why having realistic benchmarks can help you focus your practice on the areas that matter most. I also dive into the importance of slowing down your breathing on the golf course and how controlling your breathing can help settle your nerves, improve decision-making, and ultimately lead to better golf shots. Finally, I discuss one of the most valuable skills in golf: the ability to take a mental reset between shots. Bad holes and poor shots happen to everyone, but the players who avoid the downhill spiral are often the ones who can reset, refocus, and move forward without carrying frustration to the next shot. If you're serious about improving your golf, this episode will give you practical strategies you can start using immediately.Training Aids & Discount CodesBack 2 Basics Putting – Use the code YGP10 for 10% off or Click Here for 10% offDivot Board –Use the code YGP for 10% off or Click here for 10% off Strike Wedge – Click Here for 15% off Ryp Golf Speed Training – use the code YGP at check out for 10% off! Your Golf Performance Academy - Use code PODCAST at check out for 30% off any subscription.Aim Point Classes Sign Up HereWin a $350 True Protein Gift Pack - Sign Up HereSign up for the free course/library of 22 drills to help you get better at golf hereWe thank Titleist - The number 1 brand in golf for their continued support of the YGP Podcast!🚨 Podcast Partner: TRUE PROTEINI’m proud to partner with TRUE PROTEIN, the go-to supplement brand trusted by elite athletes and weekend warriors alike.

Wednesday Wisdom: "Swing Your Swing" – The Most Misunderstood Advice in Golf.One of the most common phrases you'll hear in golf is, "Just swing your swing."And to a point, I understand what people mean.When you look at the best players in the world, not everybody swings the club the same way. Jim Furyk, Matthew Wolff, Bubba Watson, Scottie Scheffler – they all have movements that look unique.But here's what most golfers miss...Those players have spent decades building those swings. They've hit millions of golf balls. They've learned exactly how to time those movements and make them repeatable under pressure.The average golfer doesn't have that luxury.Most golfers work 40 or 50 hours a week. They might get to the range once or twice and play on the weekend. They simply don't have 100 hours every week to perfect compensations and unusual movement patterns.That's why I don't fully agree with the advice of "just swing your swing."For most golfers, the goal shouldn't be to make a flawed motion work.The goal should be to build a motion that requires less timing, less compensation, and less practice to produce a reasonable result.Good golf swings aren't necessarily about looking pretty.They're about putting the club in functional positions often enough that when you arrive at the first tee on Saturday morning, you've got a chance.Because enjoyment comes from hitting some decent shots.It comes from seeing the ball fly roughly where you intended.It comes from not standing over every shot wondering whether today's timing is going to show up.Tour players can get away with unusual movements because they've invested years into owning them.Most amateurs are far better served by developing sound fundamentals.Better grip.Better setup.Better clubface control.Better impact conditions.Those things don't make golf easy, but they make golf more predictable.And for most golfers, predictable golf is enjoyable golf.So instead of "swing your swing," maybe the better advice is:Build a swing that works when life gets busy.Build a swing that still functions after a long week at work.Build a swing that doesn't require perfect timing. Build a swing that lets you enjoy the game more often.Because at the end of the day, that's what most golfers are really chasing.Training Aids & Discount CodesBack 2 Basics Putting – Use the code YGP10 for 10% off or Click Here for 10% offDivot Board –Use the code YGP for 10% off or Click here for 10% off Strike Wedge – Click Here for 15% off Ryp Golf Speed Training – use the code YGP at check out for 10% off! Your Golf Performance Academy - Use code PODCAST at check out for 30% off any subscription.Aim Point Classes Sign Up HereWin a $350 True Protein Gift Pack - Sign Up HereSign up for the free course/library of 22 drills to help you get better at golf hereWe thank Titleist - The number 1 brand in golf for their continued support of the YGP Podcast!🚨 Podcast Partner: TRUE PROTEINI’m proud to partner with TRUE PROTEIN, the go-to supplement brand trusted by elite athletes and weekend warriors alike.

Aron Price: PGA Tour Life, Identity Beyond Golf & A Second Shot at the U.S. Open What happens when your dream comes true… and then it ends? This week on the Your Golf Performance Podcast, Brent sits down with former PGA Tour player Aron Price to discuss the highs and lows of professional golf, the challenge of building an identity beyond the game, and his incredible journey from the PGA Tour to a successful career in real estate. Aron opens up about the pressure of elite competition, how results can become tied to self-worth, dealing with imposter syndrome, and the difficult transition many professional athletes face when their playing career changes direction. The timing couldn't be better. After advancing through the first stage of U.S. Open qualifying, Aron is now just one step away from earning a spot in one of golf's biggest championships. We explore what it's like chasing that dream again, this time with a completely different perspective on life, golf, and success. A powerful conversation about resilience, identity, perspective, and finding purpose both inside and outside the ropes. 🎙️ In this episode:Life on the PGA TourThe identity challenges faced by elite athletesImposter syndrome in professional golfTransitioning from tour golf to real estateLessons learned from success and failureU.S. Open qualifying and chasing the dream againAdvice for young golfers and parentsFinding happiness beyond golf resultsA must-listen for golfers, athletes, parents, and anyone who has ever tied their self-worth to performance. ⛳️Training Aids & Discount CodesBack 2 Basics Putting – Use the code YGP10 for 10% off or Click Here for 10% offDivot Board –Use the code YGP for 10% off or Click here for 10% off Strike Wedge – Click Here for 15% off Ryp Golf Speed Training – use the code YGP at check out for 10% off! Your Golf Performance Academy - Use code PODCAST at check out for 30% off any subscription.Aim Point Classes Sign Up HereWin a $350 True Protein Gift Pack - Sign Up HereSign up for the free course/library of 22 drills to help you get better at golf hereWe thank Titleist - The number 1 brand in golf for their continued support of the YGP Podcast!🚨 Podcast Partner: TRUE PROTEINI’m proud to partner with TRUE PROTEIN, the go-to supplement brand trusted by elite athletes and weekend warriors alike.

In this Wednesday Wisdom episode, I dive into one of the biggest separators between average golfers and players who actually improve long term — investing in yourself.I reference LIV Golf winner Lucas Herbert and how, after earning one of his first big paydays in professional golf, he immediately reinvested into his career by surrounding himself with the right team: coaches, physios, fitness trainers, and mental performance support.Too many golfers say they want to improve, yet they continue to guess their way through practice, avoid the uncomfortable work, and spend more time doing what feels good instead of what actually moves the needle.In this episode, I talk about:Why the best players in the world treat golf like a performance lifestylePlanning practice with purpose instead of just beating ballsGolf-specific gym work and recoveryNutrition and hydration habits that impact performanceThe value of coaching and understanding that improvement isn’t always instantWhy working on weaknesses matters more than feeding your egoIf golf is your main passion, hobby, or dream — start acting like the players you admire. The clues are already there.

This week on the Your Golf Performance Podcast, I sit down with elite club fitter Alex Dudley-Bateman to dive deep into the world of tour-level club fitting and equipment performance. We discuss what the best players in Australia are looking for in their drivers, irons, wedges and putters, including launch, spin, peak height, landing angles and the numbers that really matter at the elite level.

We also chat about Scotty Cameron putter fitting, golf ball fitting, the biggest mistakes amateurs make with equipment, and what it’s really like working around some of the best players in the country under pressure.

In this week’s Wednesday Wisdom, Brent dives into a simple shift that can completely change how you view your own golf… Stop following the PGA Tour — and start following a player. When you watch the PGA Tour highlights, you’re seeing the absolute best of the best, at their absolute best. Flagsticks getting attacked, putts dropping from everywhere, and scorecards that look almost unrealistic. But that’s not real golf. In this episode, Brent explains why following an individual player gives you a far more accurate picture of what the game actually looks like — the ups, the downs, the missed cuts, the bounce-backs, and the grind in between. Because the reality is:Even the best players in the world have bad weeks. And understanding that might just be the thing that helps you stay patient, manage your expectations, and improve faster.Training Aids & Discount CodesBack 2 Basics Putting – Use the code YGP10 for 10% off or Click Here for 10% offDivot Board –Use the code YGP for 10% off or Click here for 10% off Strike Wedge – Click Here for 15% off Ryp Golf Speed Training – use the code YGP at check out for 10% off! Your Golf Performance Academy - Use code PODCAST at check out for 30% off any subscription.Aim Point Classes Sign Up HereWin a $350 True Protein Gift Pack - Sign Up HereSign up for the free course/library of 22 drills to help you get better at golf hereWe thank Titleist - The number 1 brand in golf for their continued support of the YGP Podcast!🚨 Podcast Partner: TRUE PROTEINI’m proud to partner with TRUE PROTEIN, the go-to supplement brand trusted by elite athletes and weekend warriors alike.

Brent sits down with rising Australian star Raegan Denton to unpack one of the most exciting junior-to-elite journeys in golf right now. Growing up in the small coastal town of Coffin Bay, Raegan didn’t follow the typical pathway. With limited options around her, she picked up a golf club alongside her brother — and what started as something to do quickly turned into something much bigger.

In this episode, we sit down with Rich Beem — major champion, fan favourite, and one of the most honest voices in golf. Rich takes us inside his incredible win at the 2002 PGA Championship, going toe-to-toe with Tiger Woods down the stretch, and what it really felt like to close out one of the biggest events in the game. Brent actually became a fan of Rich after reading about his journey 20+ years ago — drawn to his personality, honesty, and the very different path he took compared to the modern, ultra-structured Tour player. We dive into that side of his career — the lifestyle, the lack of structure at times, and how it all played a role in both his success and inconsistency. This is a raw and honest conversation about:What it actually takes to win at the highest levelThe reality of life on Tour (that most people never see)Whether he left anything on the tableAnd what he would do differently if he had his time againFor junior golfers, parents, and anyone chasing improvement — this episode is full of perspective, lessons, and a few stories you won’t hear anywhere else.Aim Point Classes Sign Up HereWin a $350 True Protein Gift Pack - Sign Up HereSign up for the free course/library of 22 drills to help you get better at golf hereWe thank Titleist - The number 1 brand in golf for their continued support of the YGP Podcast!🚨 Podcast Partner: TRUE PROTEINI’m proud to partner with TRUE PROTEIN, the go-to supplement brand trusted by elite athletes and weekend warriors alike.

We break down how AimPoint actually works, why so many golfers struggle to read greens, and how having a simple, repeatable process can transform your putting almost instantly. Steven shares what he sees every day in his coaching, including the most common mistakes golfers make on the greens and how to fix them. We also shift gears into coaching philosophy — including a fascinating discussion on how Steven helps beginner golfers develop incredible swings early on, and the key traits he sees in players who improve quickly versus those who stay stuck. Whether you’re a junior, a weekend golfer, or someone chasing elite performance, there’s something in this episode for you.

Win a $350 True Protein Gift Pack - Sign Up HereSign up for the free course/library of 22 drills to help you get better at golf hereIn this episode, I break down the recent win of Rory McIlroy at Augusta National Golf Club and dive into a concept that could completely change how you approach your own game. What if lowering your expectations is actually the key to playing your best golf? We often put so much pressure on ourselves to perform, to score, and to “have a good day” that it ends up doing the opposite. Looking at Rory’s performance, there’s a strong argument that being more freed up mentally allowed him to swing better, make clearer decisions, and ultimately perform at a higher level. But it wasn’t just mindset. I also talk about how preparation separates the best players in the world from everyone else. Rory didn’t just show up and hope to play well — he prepared at a level most golfers never get close to. That preparation builds confidence, reduces pressure, and allows freedom when it matters most. If you’re serious about improving your golf, this episode will challenge the way you think about both your expectations and your preparation.We thank Titleist - The number 1 brand in golf for their continued support of the YGP Podcast!🚨 Podcast Partner: TRUE PROTEINI’m proud to partner with TRUE PROTEIN, the go-to supplement brand trusted by elite athletes and weekend warriors alike.

Win a $350 True Protein Gift Pack - Sign Up HereSign up for the free course/library of 22 drills to help you get better at golf hereWednesday Wisdom: If It’s Not in Your Diary… It’s Not Getting Done Everyone says they want to get better. They want to practice more.They want to get fitter.They want to lower their handicap. But here’s the truth… If it’s not scheduled, it’s just a wish. The players who improve the most aren’t always the most talented — they’re the ones who are organised. They treat their improvement like an appointment, not an option. Think about it this way: You don’t “try” to show up to a lesson… you book it.You don’t “hope” to go to work… you schedule it. So why is your improvement treated any differently? If you’re serious about getting better, start putting it in your diary:30 minutes of putting practice1 hour on the range working on a specific skillGym sessionsEven 10 minutes at home working on your setupLock it in. Just like a meeting. Just like a lesson. Because once it’s in your diary, something changes:You’re more accountableYou’re less likely to skip itYou start building consistencyAnd consistency is what actually moves the needle. Most golfers don’t fail because they don’t know what to do…They fail because they don’t consistently do it. So here’s a simple challenge: Open your diary right now and book your next 3 practice sessions. Not “sometime this week.”Specific day. Specific time. Treat your game like it matters — and it will start to show.Win a $350 True Protein Gift Pack - Sign Up HereSign up for the free course/library of 22 drills to help you get better at golf hereWe thank Titleist - The number 1 brand in golf for their continued support of the YGP Podcast!🚨 Podcast Partner: TRUE PROTEINI’m proud to partner with TRUE PROTEIN, the go-to supplement brand trusted by elite athletes and weekend warriors alike.

For years, Cameron Young was labelled as one of the best players in the world without a win. Close calls, high finishes, but just couldn’t quite get it done. Then he finally breaks through… and not long after, he wins again on one of the biggest stages in golf. It’s a great reminder that not every golfer progresses at the same speed. Some players burst onto the scene and win early.Others take time… but when they get there, they stay there.

Tom’s journey through the game is one that so many golfers can relate to — chasing the dream on the UK mini tours, competing on the EuroPro circuit, and coming agonisingly close to qualifying for The Open Championship not once, but twice. We dive into the realities of life as a touring professional outside the spotlight — the financial pressures, the grind of travel, and what it really takes to try and make it at the highest level. Tom also shares some incredible stories from his career, including writing for Golfpunk magazine while pursuing his playing dream, landing starts on the Challenge Tour, and even taking his golf to the Caribbean working onboard a cruise ship teaching and playing with guests. Now based in New Zealand as the Head Professional at Kinloch — a Jack Nicklaus-designed course — Tom reflects on his transition away from playing, what he’s learned from being around world-class players (including Nicklaus himself), and what truly separates the best in the world from the rest. We also dive into course strategy, and practical tips that everyday golfers can take straight to the course. This is a great conversation about resilience, perspective, and finding your place in the game — whether that’s chasing the tour or building a career around it.We thank Titleist - The number 1 brand in golf for their continued support of the YGP Podcast!🚨 Podcast Partner: TRUE PROTEINI’m proud to partner with TRUE PROTEIN, the go-to supplement brand trusted by elite athletes and weekend warriors alike.

In this episode of the Your Golf Performance Podcast, I sit down with PGA Master Professional Christopher Smith — a 3-time Teacher of the Year, Golf Digest Top Instructor, and Guinness World Record holder in Speedgolf. With nearly four decades of coaching experience, Christopher shares how his philosophy has evolved and why most golfers are practicing the wrong way.

We also explore what Speedgolf taught him about scoring, rhythm, and decision-making — and how traditional golfers can benefit from it.

This week I want to share a really interesting lesson from a coaching session that opened up a bigger conversation about performance. I had a client who has been improving really nicely. His swing is trending in the right direction, contact is better, and overall ball flight has improved. But there was still one big frustration… inconsistency with his irons. So we put him on the launch monitor. With his 7 iron, his carry distance was ranging anywhere from 109 metres to 141 metres. That’s a 32-metre gap with the same club. For any golfer, that’s nearly the difference between being on the green or in a bunker over the back. Now here’s where it gets interesting. I grabbed a different 7 iron — something I felt was better suited to his speed and delivery. Same player. Same swing. Same session. Suddenly his carries were between 138 metres and 143 metres. Tight window. Predictable. Repeatable. Nothing magical happened to his technique in those 10 minutes. The difference? Equipment. In this episode we talk about:Why inconsistency isn’t always a swing issueHow launch monitor data can expose hidden problemsThe role shafts, loft, and head design play in distance controlWhy guessing your yardages can cost you shots every roundSometimes we beat ourselves up thinking our swing is broken… when in reality, the tools we’re using might be working against us. If you’ve ever felt like you “flush one” and it comes up 20 metres short — this episode is for you.We thank Titleist - The number 1 brand in golf for their continued support of the YGP Podcast!🚨 Podcast Partner: TRUE PROTEINI’m proud to partner with TRUE PROTEIN, the go-to supplement brand trusted by elite athletes and weekend warriors alike.

We dive deep into the rise of golf tourism, the global feedback Te Arai has received, and how modern facilities are reshaping the future of destination golf.

Wednesday Wisdom ⛳️🌍 — The Real Benefits of a Golf Trip Away This week’s Wednesday Wisdom came off the back of one of the most enjoyable golf trips I’ve ever had — heading over to the North Island of New Zealand and experiencing some of the best golf courses in the world. But it wasn’t just about the views, the laughs, or the bucket-list rounds… it really highlighted the performance benefits of getting away from your home club and testing your game in different conditions. One of the biggest takeaways? 👉 Your wedges that work beautifully at home… might be completely wrong elsewhere. At your home club you get used to:• The firmness of the turf• Grass type around the greens• How the club interacts with the ground• Bounce and grind matching your conditions Then you jump on a plane and suddenly you’re faced with:• Tight links lies• Different sand textures• Grainy or wispy grass• Firmer or softer turf And all of a sudden, those trusty wedges can feel like they’ve got the wrong bounce, wrong sole, or wrong leading edge for the job. That’s where golf trips become one of the best learning environments you can get. You start to:• Develop adaptability• Learn new shot options• Understand turf interaction better• Get creative around greens• Build real on-course problem-solving skills It’s why the best players in the world travel so well — they’ve learned to adjust their equipment and technique to suit the conditions in front of them. Personally, the North Island trip was unforgettable. World-class golf, incredible landscapes, and a constant reminder that golf isn’t played in a vacuum — it’s played on different grasses, in different winds, and on different soils. So if you ever get the chance to take your game on the road… Do it. Because the lessons you learn away from home might be the ones that improve your scoring the most when you return.We thank Titleist - The number 1 brand in golf for their continued support of the YGP Podcast!🚨 Podcast Partner: TRUE PROTEINI’m proud to partner with TRUE PROTEIN, the go-to supplement brand trusted by elite athletes and weekend warriors alike.

In this episode, I sit down with someone who was a genuine club legend when I was growing up at New Brighton Golf Club — Rob Willis. Rob’s playing career is highlighted by winning the 1988 NSW Amateur Championship before making the jump into professional golf, competing on the Australian Tour and gaining opportunities to play overseas. We dive into what tournament golf was really like in his era — the nerves, the pressure, the practice habits, and what it was like teeing it up alongside some of the game’s biggest names. Rob also shares honest reflections on what he would have done differently with today’s knowledge, how his understanding of performance has evolved over 30+ years in the game, and how he knew it was time to walk away from full-time tour life. This is a brilliant conversation full of perspective for competitive golfers, juniors chasing the dream, and anyone who loves the journey of the game.We thank Titleist - The number 1 brand in golf for their continued support of the YGP Podcast!🚨 Podcast Partner: TRUE PROTEINI’m proud to partner with TRUE PROTEIN, the go-to supplement brand trusted by elite athletes and weekend warriors alike.

Ever jumped into a new car and suddenly the hand brake is gone… replaced by a foot brake? You know how to drive. You know how to stop. But for a while, everything feels awkward, slow, and uncomfortable. In this episode, we talk about why learning new habits and skills always feels worse before it feels better — whether that’s changing something in your golf swing, your practice habits, or even something as simple as adapting to a new car. We break down how the brain actually learns new patterns, why performance often dips during change, and why so many people quit right before the breakthrough happens. If you’ve ever felt frustrated trying to change a habit — in golf or in life — this episode will help you understand why that feeling is normal and how to push through it the smart way.

In this episode, I’m joined by Australian professional golfer Adam Bland, a multiple-time international tour winner who’s competed across Australasia, Japan, Europe, and North America. Adam takes us inside what it’s really like to win on tour — from the emotions and nerves coming down the stretch on Sunday, to standing over shots that can change your career. We break down what he was thinking on the final few holes, how he managed pressure in winning moments, and what separated his best weeks from the rest. We also dive into the grind of life as a touring professional, the realities aspiring pros don’t see, and the lessons Adam now passes on after transitioning into coaching at Glenelg Golf Club. This is a must-listen for junior golfers, parents, and serious players who want an honest look at what it takes to close tournaments and survive professional golf.We thank Titleist - The number 1 brand in golf for their continued support of the YGP Podcast!🚨 Podcast Partner: TRUE PROTEINI’m proud to partner with TRUE PROTEIN, the go-to supplement brand trusted by elite athletes and weekend warriors alike.

In this episode, Brent sits down with Nick Chertock — an accountant by trade, lifelong mid-handicap golfer, and one of the most influential non-coaches in the golf instruction world. As co-founder of Open Forum, Nick has spent the last 10–20 years immersed in conversations with some of the best golf coaches on the planet, asking the questions many golfers and coaches never think to ask. Despite not being a touring professional or teaching full-time, Nick has become a trusted connector, discussion starter, and advocate for smarter golf improvement. In this conversation, Brent and Nick dive into what Nick has learned from decades of observing elite coaches, whether all that knowledge has actually improved his own golf game, and the dangers of information overload for both golfers and instructors. They also share behind-the-scenes stories from time spent around world-class coaches, explore how great coaches filter information differently, and discuss where golf instruction is heading next.

In this episode of Your Golf Performance Podcast, I’m joined by Ryan Smith, coach at the Sea Island Golf Performance Center, to dive deep into what it really takes to develop elite junior golfers. Ryan breaks down the structure of his Player Development Program, including how many hours juniors should be training each week and how to balance technical work, fitness, mental training, and on-course play. We discuss the key differences between players who win events and those who consistently struggle to make cuts, and the habits elite performers build that others simply don’t. We also explore the importance of competitive practice vs block practice, what Ryan learns most from watching his players compete on course, and the common mental and physical mistakes young golfers make under pressure. Ryan shares practical travel tips for tournaments, insights into strength and fitness development, and how he builds accountability and ownership in young players. Finally, we tackle a topic many parents will relate to — how to coach juniors who have access to everything but may lack work ethic or intrinsic motivation, and what parents should realistically expect when their child enters a long-term development program.

In this week’s Wednesday Wisdom, Brent tackles the most confusing scoring zone in golf — the dreaded 50–100 metre “No Man’s Land.” Most golfers guess at these shots… and that guesswork is costing them strokes every round. Brent breaks down a simple, tour-proven system built around your four wedges — pitching wedge, gap wedge, sand wedge, and lob wedge. You’ll learn how to develop three stock swings for each club — half, 75%, and full — and how to record your carry distances so you never stand over a wedge feeling unsure again. By the end of this episode, you’ll know how to build your own Wedge Matrix, a personalised chart that shows exactly how far each wedge flies with each swing length. This is one of the fastest ways to lower scores and take the mystery out of your distance wedges. If you’ve ever stood in “No Man’s Land” and hoped for the best… this episode will give you a plan you can trust.JOIN THE TITLEIST GIVEAWAY HEREWe thank Titleist - The number 1 brand in golf for their continued support of the YGP Podcast!🚨 Podcast Partner: TRUE PROTEINI’m proud to partner with TRUE PROTEIN, the go-to supplement brand trusted by elite athletes and weekend warriors alike.
