What if everything you’ve been told about practice is wrong?

I spent 25 years playing piano the “right” way—grinding the same songs, chasing perfection, and dreading every recital. Then, I watched my son fall in love with music overnight… not by memorizing notes, but by playing thunder.

Turns out, golf practice has the same problem. Most players are stuck in their own lifeless recital—mindlessly smashing balls, grooving flaws, and wondering why they never improve.

In this episode, you’ll learn why the driving range is LYING to you (and what to do instead). And learn about the science-backed secret to loving practice (hint: It’s not about perfect swings).

The best golfers aren’t made in sterile repetition. They’re forged in chaos, creativity, and curiosity.

Are you in a slump? Are you feeling cluttered, overwhelmed, and lost? In this episode, we’re breaking the cycle: no more band-aid fixes, no more swing overhaul madness. Instead, we’re going against conventional wisdom with three powerful (and often overlooked) strategies.

Plus, we’ll talk about the real reason slumps linger (hint: it’s not your swing) and how to fall back in love with the game when nothing seems to work. If you’re tired of the endless grind and ready for a smarter way out of your slump, this episode is your game plan.

"The slump isn’t your enemy—it’s your teacher. Time to start listening."
