926: All golf tees are not the same. Usually tees are cupped at the top so that you can set the ball on top and shoot in any direction. But we only hit in one direction when teeing off. Our guest, Dr. Daniel Whalen, an environmental engineer, golfer, and son of an inventor, realized that if you create an open area in the direction you’re hitting the ball, there’s less friction on the ball resulting in longer and straighter tee shots. Reviews from all over the internet have confirmed the science that Daniel has created. Learn more at flightpathgolf.com.
Excited to announce that you can get a free box of 8 tees when you become a Golf Smarter Ambassador and open an upcoming episode. Trust me, even with regular play 8 Flight Path Golf tees could easily last you a full year, if not longer!

Will a heavy golf club influence how far the ball goes?

This week Golf Smarter Mulligans episode #219, is called “Why You Don't Swing Like a Pro and How to Change It” with John Novasel of Tour Tempo. For years, John was telling anyone who listened that the best players in the world all had the same 3:1 swing tempo, no matter how fast they would swing a club. Finally, researchers at Yale University proved his theories to be correct. Since this episode was published in 2011, host Fred Greene still incorporates what he learned about the 3:1 swing tempo from the Tour Tempo app 12 years later! This is part1 of 2.

901: Blake Jirges talks about the value of why golfers of all skill levels would benefit far more from on-course lessons vs just ball striking advice at the range. Breaking 100 isn’t just because you don’t have confidence in your swing, it’s more about the decisions you make during your round. Blake was recently named 2022 Southern California PGA Teacher of the Year and one of Golf Digest’s Best Young Teachers based on his teaching techniques, and performance as a golf instructor. He’s also Director of Player Development at Coto de Caza Golf Club.

900: Once again we celebrate a podcast milestone by learning more about host Fred Greene, this time through the comments and insights from his wife, Joanne. Joanne has just written and published her first book called “By Accident: A Memoir of Letting Go” which is available in paperback, e-book, and audiobook from everywhere you get your books. You can also learn more at https://joanne-greene.com.

The pre-release reviews and blurbs have all been wildly positive and we know that you’ll enjoy, and probably learn a lot, from her story…which some readers have said is a love letter to Fred. This episode also provides you with a chance to meet our two sons and two grandchildren.

896: Golf can’t be that difficult to understand, learn, and conquer, can it? Jerome Rufin believes it, so he launched a YouTube documentary series called “Scratch to Scratch” that documents his daily quest from knowing nothing about the sport…and I do mean nothing…to be a scratch golfer. The videos are informative, enlightening, compelling and sometimes frustrating to watch as he gets advanced instruction at a rapid pace. But it’s clear by watching that he, like many of us, is sometimes lost about what it all means and how it works. Even with a team of coaches and full time dedication, Jerome believes he could shoot par regularly in less than 5 years. In this conversation, we learn just how his innocent naiveté is keeping his spirits high and his frustration in check. https://www.youtube.com/@JeromeRufin Watch the complete interview at https://youtu.be/fhnZxqHTsHE

872: There was something about the unique design and explanation of the FlightPath Golf Tee on Instagram that caught my eye, and I thought what the heck I’ll give it a try. During the first round, I noticed that my drives were going much straighter than usual, but gave myself more credit than the tees. But round after round, I was hitting more fairways and my yardage also increased. It took almost a year to go through the box of 8 tees, but I was hooked and ordered another. Now almost two years in, it was time to order another box, but this time, I needed to find out more. Our guest this week is the inventor, Daniel Whalen, PhD, an environmental engineer who was challenged by his inventor father to come up with something the golf world had never witnessed before. A USGA compliant tee that reduces frictional resistance and allows you to hit straighter and farther than ever before. Learn more at https://flightpathgolf.com.
