As we head into a new golf season here in Arizona, my sister Alix and I talk about what weâre looking forward to, as well as what weâre doing to keep on top of our fitness going into winter. Weâre also giving you a sneak peek into our 2025 calendar of events and tournaments!
After giving our thoughts on new regulations announced by our Womenâs Golf Association, weâre talking pilates and hot yoga breakthroughs and mishaps, before getting into the little tweaks weâre making to our golf game.
This is where a lot of our goals diverge, with Alix giving her thoughts on improving as an active competitor and drawing lessons from other sports like tennis, and myself talking about the power of consistent practice.
Finally, we give our thoughts on amplifying female voices in golf course design and share experiences from recent tournaments!!

Pushing past my comfort zone in golf has always been a challenge, but with the help of the ever-amazing Colorado Hall of Famer Kim Eaton, I went on a journey that led me all the way to the USGA Mid-Am.
Today, Kim and I are reflecting on how entering some of those more intimidating tournaments can actually elevate your game. I talk about my commitment to compete in the Arizona State Match Play Tournament despite initial hesitations. One thing stays pretty consistent: The friends we make and the personal insecurities we overcome at these events always end up being as rewarding as the game itself.
Kim had a packed summer. From one tournament after anotherâfrom the Senior Match Play in Colorado to an unforgettable win at the state Mid-AmâKim gives us an insightful blow-by-blow account of her prep work all through to the end of each match.
Finally, we talk about the ins and outs of organizing large golf events, and weigh the pros and cons of various locations to create the most memorable experience possible for all participants!
If thereâs anything to take away from this episode, itâs the literal game-changing power of having a mentor at your side. And that if you donât have one yet, itâs time to put yourself out there and feel the pressure of tournament play!

When my mom accepted the invitation to join us for the 2024 California Crush Invitational, I knew it would be an unforgettable experience. My sister Alix joins me today to reflect on Momâs first-ever golf tournament experience and the lessons women golfers can take to heart through her example!
From Napa to Tampa, Momâs unique challenges as a first-timer speak to the women out there who are thinking about taking the leap into their first tournament, but for one reason or another, they are holding backâwhether due to a higher handicap index or otherwise.
With Mom being a casual golfer by nature, Alix and I never felt prouder witnessing her achieve her first birdie! She adapted beautifully to the formalities of an 18-hole match, thanks in no small part to the supportive environment we were immersed in throughout those two amazing days!
Of course, it wouldnât be a conversation with Alix without a diversion into the latest golf fashion trends (can you say âwide-leg pantsâ?). After a quick discussion on said trends, Alix and I wrap things up by talking about the power of connecting with like-minded individuals who share our passion for women empowering women out on the course!

With his signature energy and passion for the sport that weâve all come to know and love, heâs here to tell us all about his comeback and the lessons heâs learned along the way! Justin kicks things off talking about the differences between outcome goals and process goals, and why our long-term success in any endeavorâgolf or otherwiseâdepends on making more of the latter.Drawing from his personal experience, Justin illustrates why keeping your focus on the present moment during tournament play is one of the best things you can do, and why obsessively checking your score ultimately makes little difference on your ability to win!âAll I can do is try to hit great shots,â Justin says. âIf I do that, Iâm stacking the odds in my favor and do my best. If my best beats everybody else that day, I win. If it doesnât, it doesnât!âFinally, Justin shares why being your own cheerleader is a game-changer for building confidence, the self-talk secret that separates great golfers from average golfers, and his career goals moving forward.

Today Iâm sitting down with mindset coach and hypnotherapist, Paul Salter, to get his unique insights on using hypnosis to elevate your golf game.
Paul defines hypnosis as âa state of deep relaxation with the intention to make positive changeâ. A skilled hypnotherapist can help anyone silence their inner critic, and directly connect with their subconscious mind to unlearn limiting beliefs and. This, in turn, allows new, more productive beliefs to take their place.
Asked how golfers can harness the power of hypnosis to take their game to the next level, Paul reminds us that âthere is no shortage of mental and emotional hazards on the course.â Coming up against those hazards triggers negative self-talk, which naturally nurtures self-destructive behaviors that ruin your chances at a great, fun round. To golfers struggling with emotional control, Paul demonstrates how hypnosis can significantly boost performance and align you with your best self. Paul goes on to explain how to cultivate a winning mindset, create confidence on demand, enhance emotional resiliency, and effortlessly find flow and fun out on the course. As a bonus, we also touch on finding success both as a golfer and as a parentâat the same time! About Paul SalterHaving personally coached over 2,500 clients, Paul Salter is an expert in helping you get out of your own way by stopping self-sabotage at the source. With an extensive background working with elite Collegiate, Professional, and Olympic athletes as a Sports Dietitian, his unique coaching system leverages 15 years of coaching with an emphasis on hypnosis, subconscious reprogramming, mindset shift training, and proven strategies to help you unstuck yourself. The result: You break through limiting beliefs, overcome mental roadblocks, and conquer the fears holding you back from unlocking your full potential.

Iâm sitting down with Mark Milatz of Caddie Tales fame to listen to his hilarious and insightful stories out on the course, as well as his inspiring journey from alcoholism to sobriety. Itâs a victory that he says would not have been possible without the opportunity to live his passion as a caddie! We also get into caddie best practices, such as quelling your playerâs nerves before a round, the importance of lag putting, and getting real about pace-of-play with self-proclaimed âfastâ groups! About Mark Milatz
Mark never anticipated becoming a caddie. It was a role he stumbled upon out of sheer necessity, a lifeline when he found himself at rock bottom due to a string of regrettable choices that shattered his life and career. Initially, he viewed it as a temporary measure, a means to gather his shattered pieces and find a way forward. Little did he know that this seemingly inconsequential detour would ignite a profound passion within him, becoming his salvation and guiding light.

What a fun episode we have today with Evan Singer and Matt Cermak from The Par Train podcast joining us. We are filling you in on 5 ways you can be miserable on the golf course â this is a must-listen!
Key Highlights:
Expecting what you do on the range to happen on the course. A warm-up is just that: a warm-up. Your best swing or putt is an outlier, not an average. Trying to shoot your best score. When was the last time you actually shot your best score when you âtriedâ to shoot your best score? Donât reinvent a past victory. Instead, recommit to earn a new victory. That is, donât look at the finish line. Focus instead on the processâthe journeyâthat will result in a win. Trying to impress others. Since weâre only human, we canât help but care what others think; but, when we let the opinions of others influence our performance on the golf course, we end up doing worse than if we just put aside that insecurity. Assume you wonât make mistakes. Just because your last round was perfect doesnât mean this round will be perfect. Golf is a game of recovery. Donât get too high, and donât get too low. Take care not to rest on your laurels after every good shot and beat yourself up after every bad shot. If you get too high, you create unnecessary pressure on yourself come the next swing; and if you get too low, you gradually lose the confidence and motivation to go on.

Michael Leonard from the Wicked Smart Podcast joins me once again to explain what he didnât do to become a scratch golfer.
Referring to going scratch as âthe six-pack of golfâ, Michael says that thereâs no faking the journey to hitting that magical zero handicap. Itâs a rewarding place to be, and anyone who wants to get into the top 5% of players needs to have a sound strategy.
At the same time, there are commonly-accepted steps that one shouldnât take to become a scratch golfer. Listen in as Michael dives deep into every one of these misconceptions, from the pitfalls of obsessing over mechanics, to routine and short swing misfires, to the silly mind games we play that do more harm than good out on the course.
And donât miss the tail-end of our conversation, where Michael gives his thoughts on the difference between a scratch player and a true scratch player.
About Michael Leonard:

Today Iâm speaking with Dr. Sasho MacKenzie, co-founder of The Stack System, an innovative training tool that applies principles from the world of track and field to improve your clubhead speed in an efficient and measurable way.
âI like to use the Stack to reinforce positive swing mechanics,â says Dr. MacKenzie.
Listen in as he explains how the The Stack System targets the force of the grip to measure swing speeds, and how its personalized app offers real-time feedback and actionable data to the user, making the program an indispensable training companion.
We then explore success stories and the transformative potential of The Stack System. With the top 5,000 users gaining an average of 12 miles per hour, and a recommended gain of 6-10 miles per hour from the 6-week foundation program, we discuss what golfers can expect from using the system over time.
In the same vein, Dr. MacKenzie also addresses the minority of users who may struggle with lack of control over their swing speed, particularly at max-level, offering advice and solutions for overcoming their limitations.
We then talk about how The Stack System can be applied in various training environments and climates. We focus especially on how it can be beneficial for female golfers looking to add aggression to their game.
Finally, Dr. MacKenzie and I discuss the programâs Stack Putting System and how its progressive training structure can help you minimize your putting biases over time, whether youâre struggling with speed or direction.

Justin Klemballa and I sit down with 8-time Canadian long drive champion Lisa Longball. Together, we unpack the three primary mistakes stopping women from gaining more distance in their golf swing and how to fix them!
We also discuss Lisa's personal training schedule, why muscle memory is way more important than muscular strength, and the vital role of rest in achieving peak performance. We also explore the significance of tempo and having a mental routine alongside a physical one.
Lisa shares her insightful personal experiences as a world-class athlete, including her triumph of hitting the longest drive in women's golf history, and what she did to gain the highest swing speed she's ever achieved.
3 Reasons You Lack Distance in Your Swing (and What to Do Instead)
(06:47) Reason 1: Youâre an arms lifter. Because women are naturally more flexible than men, itâs easy to think youâre turning when youâre really just lifting your arms. Lisa recommends looking at your body in two parts: the upper body and the lower body. During the backswing, start with your lead shoulder, forcing you to turn your chest turning away from the ball. On the other hand, during the downswing, maximize the coil and torque youâve built up by leading with your lower body.(09:25) Reason 2: Your golf swing sequence is flawed or lacking. âTurn the shirtâ on the backswing, freeze, then âturn the skirtâ on the downswing. The best way to make this sequence second nature is by practicing dissociation drills, as well as training to move your weight to the instep of the back foot when transitioning from the backswing to the downswing.
(18:43) Reason 3: You donât finish the golf swing. Most golfers put all their focus on hitting the ball, so that once they make contact, they begin to decelerate and fail to maximize distance as a result. Your clubhead should be at its fastest not on the ball, but three feet past the ball. Always keep this in mind: Hit through the ball, not to the ball.

Could your swing speed be holding you back? Join us for the second of our three-part distance series as Andrew Hannon and I uncover the essential steps to boosting your clubhead and ball speed.
We discuss why itâs crucial to work with a swing coach to create a technique plan and set baseline metrics like your smash factor. We also stress the importance of setting realistic goals and using radar tools or launch monitors, such as the PRGR, to track your progress. Youâll learn how integrating high-intensity practice sessions can push your limits and help enhance your speed.
Next, we talk training routines that can elevate your overall golf performance. Discover how to strategically blend gym workouts, short game practice, and speed training into your schedule for optimal results. We highlight the importance of balancing strength, mobility, and flexibilityâand especially how these attributes impact female golfers.
Finally, we delve into various golf speed training techniques, starting with the "Three Strike Method" and a comprehensive 15-swing driver practice routine. Youâll understand the benefits of consistent, high-intensity practice on the range and how it translates to faster, more reliable swings on the course. We also explore the benefits of training barefoot to enhance foot and ankle mobility as championed by US Open winner Wyndham Clark.
Rounding things off, Andrew answers questions from our community, offering valuable advice to golfers at all levels!
