This podcast is presented to you by PLATFORM Golf. PLATFORM Golf is on a mission to transform golf by closing the experience gap between off-course and on-course play – allowing players to make real putts on a tilting green and hit approach shots from uneven lies.

As a coach, one of the biggest challenges has always been the disconnect between practice and on-course performance. Teaching on a flat surface limits the ability to simulate real-world conditions.

PLATFORM Golf’s moving platforms bridge that gap in both putting and full-swing training—giving players the opportunity to train the way they play enabling me to coach with greater precision in a truly realistic environment.
