“Your future best golf is probably being built inside your worst rounds.”
In Part 2 with Jon Sherman from the 🎧  The Sweet Spot Podcast and author of The Four Foundations of Golf, we dive deep into the psychology of golf improvement.
Jon explains why golfers give up too early during rounds, how resilience is built on your worst days, and why “getting your hands dirty” might be the key to shooting lower scores.
We also discuss:
how Jon works with PGA Tour winner Mackenzie Hughes
handling pressure and expectations on the golf course
why golf is “an infinite game”
mental game mistakes amateur golfers make
simple stat tracking that actually helps
why chasing lower handicaps doesn’t always lead to happiness
process vs results in golf improvement
If you’ve ever struggled mentally during a bad round, lost confidence on the course, or wondered how better players stay composed under pressure — this episode is for you.
Featuring:
 Jon Sherman — author of The Four Foundations of Golf, co-host of The Sweet Spot podcast, and coach to PGA Tour players including Mackenzie Hughes.

“Most golfers don’t actually understand what good golf looks like for their skill level.”
Today we’re joined by Jon Sherman — author of The Four Foundations of Golf, founder of Practical Golf, and co-host of The Sweet Spot Podcast.
This is one of the most honest conversations we’ve had yet about the mental side of golf.
⛳ IN THIS EPISODE
Why golfers put so much pressure on themselves
 Fear of choking and protecting good rounds
 Why expectations destroy enjoyment
 What “good golf” actually looks like
 Why elite golf is mostly avoiding disasters
 Why mid-handicap golfers might be the most tortured golfers on earth
Jon also explains why most golfers fundamentally misunderstand scoring, consistency and improvement — and how changing your expectations can completely transform both your golf and your enjoyment of the game.
🎯 IF YOU’VE EVER...
Cared too much about your score
Let one bad hole ruin your round
Panicked trying to break 80, 90 or 100
Wondered why golf feels mentally exhausting...
…this episode is for you.
🎙️ Part 2 coming next week.

What actually causes big slices with driver, heavy chips, and inconsistent contact in golf?
In this episode, golf coach and content creator Chase Cooper breaks down Dave and Chris’s golf swings live on the podcast — identifying the setup mistakes, low-point issues, clubface problems, and swing patterns that are holding them back.
From driver swing faults and ball position to chipping technique and strike control, Chase explains why most amateur golfers struggle with contact and how small changes in setup and intention can completely change your ball striking.
This is a raw, honest and hugely relatable coaching session for any golfer trying to improve their swing without getting lost in overcomplicated technical instruction.
Topics include:
How to stop slices with the driver
Why golfers struggle with low point control
The real cause of heavy chips and chunked pitch shots
Ball position, forearm setup and shoulder alignment
Why solid contact solves more problems than golfers think
The difference between “feel” golfers and analytical golfers
Why most golfers are more consistent than they realise
How elite players control strike location on the clubface
Simpler ways to practice golf effectively
If you’ve ever stood on the range wondering why your swing suddenly disappeared… this episode is for you.

Golf swing inconsistency explained: Chase Cooper on low point, contact, and face control. 
In this episode, we’re joined by top US golf coach Chase Cooper—co-host of Golf Beneath the Surface and a self-confessed “tech nerd”—to dive into what actually controls your ball striking in golf.
We set out to talk golf swing technique… but what follows is a completely different way of thinking about it.
Chase breaks down the fundamentals that truly matter—low point control, strike quality, and face control—and explains why most golfers get lost chasing positions instead of focusing on what actually impacts performance.
If you’ve ever felt like your swing works one week and disappears the next, this episode will help you understand why—and what you can do about it.
This is part one of a two-part conversation. In part two, Chase analyses our swings and tells us exactly what we need to change to reach our goals this season.
If you’re serious about improving your golf, this is one you won’t want to miss.
