  • EP 51: Goal Setting, Revisited: Getting Focused for the New Year.
    Dec 31 2025

    Send us a text

    As the new golf year begins, we’re revisiting one of our most important episodes on goal setting—because most golfers still approach goals in a way that actually holds them back. In this episode of The Golf Intervention, we break down how to set goals that align with scoring, skills, and process, not vague outcomes or unrealistic expectations.

    We also kick things off with a brief update on why we’ve been quiet the past couple of months—and more importantly, why we’re officially back on schedule with recording and releasing new episodes.

    If you’re setting golf goals for the new year, this is the framework you need before you hit the range or the course.

    On this episode of The Golf Intervention Podcast, we dig into three critical areas that can help golfers of all levels play smarter and score better.

    Topics we cover include:

    • Playing from the Rough:
      • How to assess your lie and choose the right shot.
      • When to take a risk versus when to play safe.
      • How rough affects spin, launch, and distance—and what that means for club selection.
    • The Iron Fitting Revolution with Loft Adjustments:
      • Why iron fitting has changed dramatically thanks to loft optimization.
      • How adjusting lofts can fine-tune launch height, spin rates, and carry distance.
      • Why proper gapping throughout your set is essential for consistent scoring.
      • What every golfer should know before buying or tweaking their irons.
    • Lessons from the Lesson Tee:
      • The importance of separating two key skills:
        • Impact location on the clubface (centeredness of strike).
        • Clubface orientation (open vs. closed at impact).
      • Why confusing these two often leads to frustration and misdiagnosis of swing flaws.
      • Practical drills to improve both skills and build more reliable ball flight.

    This episode combines on-course strategy, cutting-edge equipment fitting insights, and real teaching takeaways to give you insights you can apply immediately to your game.
