Bradley Hughes joins host Josh Karp to explain why copying Ben Hogan’s poses misses the point—real power comes from pressure and post-impact forces.

GS #495 June 30, 2015: We can all sympathize with Dustin Johnson after he 3putted to lose the 2015 US Open on the final hole. So does that mean putting is more important to low scores and winning then driving the ball 300 yards? It’s a great debate, but there’s no argument that better putters shoot lower scores. This week our guest is Juan Gutierrez who’s injury forced him to stay away from full swings for months, so he concentrated on putting. And he got so good that he won the 2011 World Golf Hall of Fame Putting Championship. He’s just released a book called “Make More Putts: A Proven Putting Performance Improvement System” that includes 150 simple putting drills that will impact every golfer’s game.

GS#483 April 7, 2015: “There’s not a golf professional in the world who thinks about hitting the ball!” is just one of the eye opening comments from this week’s guest, John Grund PGA. John has competed at the pro level, and has coached players who’ve competed at every level, but he knows that most amateur golfers focus more on the ball then on their target. He also talks about the quickest way to hit the ball straighter and get more distance is to find the bottom or your swing arc. It supposed to be in front of the ball where most of us try to hit the back of the ball. Have you ever noticed how many times per round your divot is behind the ball?At the end of the episode, John provides us with a video tutorial on how to find the bottom of the arc of your swing.
