  • You’re Thinking About Golf Completely Backwards

    You’re Thinking About Golf Completely Backwards
    Apr 6 2026
    To learn more about Adam's 8-week course, visit this link: https://www.adamyounggolf.com/8wk/ This episode explores why many golfers struggle to score well—not because of their swing, but because of how they think on the course. We break down the concept of “fast vs. slow thinking” and explain how most players use these mental systems in the wrong order, leading to poor decisions and unnecessary mistakes. You’ll hear real on-course examples of how emotional, instinctive decisions can derail a round, and why better players rely on more deliberate thinking before the shot. We also discuss the dangers of overthinking during execution and how it can lead to paralysis over the ball. The goal is to help you recognize your own patterns and make smarter decisions that lead to lower scores.

  • Why Most Golfers Never Break 80 (The Data Is Clear)

    Why Most Golfers Never Break 80 (The Data Is Clear)
    Mar 23 2026
    This episode dives into the 2026 Shot Scope data report to uncover why most golfers struggle to break 80. Using data from hundreds of thousands of rounds, the discussion reveals that scoring isn’t about making more birdies, but about avoiding costly mistakes and managing difficult situations more effectively. It walks through each part of the game—off the tee, approach play, short game, and putting—to show how small inefficiencies compound into higher scores. The episode also challenges common misconceptions about what it takes to improve, highlighting why many golfers get stuck in the same scoring range. Ultimately, it reframes breaking 80 as a problem of consistency, positioning, and damage control—not perfect golf.

  • The “Either/Or” Fallacy in Golf Instruction

    The “Either/Or” Fallacy in Golf Instruction
    Mar 16 2026
    In this episode, Jon and Adam explore one of the most common reasoning errors in golf instruction: false dichotomies. Many debates in golf are framed as “either/or” arguments—technique vs feel, steep vs shallow, mechanics vs athleticism—when the reality is far more nuanced. Jon and Adam break down how these faulty binaries show up in instruction, social media discussions, and the way golfers interpret advice. They explain why this type of thinking can slow improvement and create unnecessary confusion for players trying to get better. The episode offers a more balanced framework for evaluating golf ideas without falling into the trap of choosing sides.
