    How To Control Your Distance With Your Irons
    Sep 29 2025
    In this episode, we revisit how to control your distance with irons. Every round, you will encounter shots where you seem to be caught between clubs. Do you choose a longer club and take something off? Or do you go with a shorter iron and try to swing harder? We clear up many of these concepts in this episode!

    Stop Chasing “I’ll Be Happy When”: Golf’s Most Dangerous Illusion w/ Karl Morris
    Sep 22 2025
    Performance coach Karl Morris joins the show to discuss a ton of topics, including: Mindset trap to avoid: the “I’ll be happy when…” illusion - chasing scores or milestones rarely delivers lasting fulfillment; reset what success means to reduce threat and play freer Reframing golf as a series of puzzles; give your mind a fresh, solvable problem each shot (instead of a vague “one shot at a time” A simple pre-shot trigger: the “red dot” story—use a visual cue to enter the shot, then ask two fast questions: what picture do I want, and what will it feel like? And much more!

  • Concept vs. Mechanics: Why Your Swing Changes Never Stick

    Concept vs. Mechanics: Why Your Swing Changes Never Stick
    Sep 15 2025
    Most golfers think new equipment is the answer, but the truth is one lesson can often do more than a $1,000 driver. In this episode, Adam and Jon dig into why so many players struggle to change their swing, the role that concepts and external cues play, and how Adam fixed a 60-yard slice in just a few swings with a simple drill. We also tackle a listener question about match play strateg - how to handle the mental side of competing against a friend and avoid the common traps golfers fall into. If you’ve ever wondered why swing changes feel impossible or how to sharpen your competitive mindset, this episode has plenty of practical takeaways you can bring straight to the course.

  • The Mount Rushmore of Golf Fears (And How to Beat Them) w/ Josh Nichols

    The Mount Rushmore of Golf Fears (And How to Beat Them) w/ Josh Nichols
    Aug 25 2025
    Golf mental coach Josh Nichols joins us for a deep dive into the real mental game: separating “band-aid” tactics from the bedrock beliefs that actually free you up to play. Josh shares what he learned on the way to the U.S. Mid-Am final, plus why most golfers’ biggest fears quietly run the show. You’ll hear practical tools for pre-round prep, handling first-tee nerves, designing a pre-shot routine you can trust, and the underrated skill of “accessing” your ability under pressure. We also get into identity, values, and when doing nothing (and letting variance normalize) is the smartest move. Perfect for competitive players and weekend golfers who want confidence without playing tight. Check out Josh's podcast, The Mental Golf Show. Learn more about his coaching on his website here.

    Do Golf Balls Matter That Much & Common Myths Busted
    Aug 18 2025
    To submit questions you want us to tackle for future episodes, visit: https://adamyounggolf.com/survey Jon and Adam kick off with a detailed look at golf balls - whether premium models like the Pro V1X truly offer an advantage, what the data says about distance, spin, and aerodynamics, and how much ball choice really matters for different skill levels. They share insights from Ballnamic testing, personal fittings, and quality control issues in direct-to-consumer models, highlighting when spending more is worth it and when it’s just marketing hype. In the second half, they tackle some of golf’s most entrenched myths, from rate of closure and “squaring the face” to the old “drive for show, putt for dough."
