Welcome back to the Macro Golf Podcast — this time from Full Swing HQ.
Today’s episode is a fun one:
👉 We’re sharing our most controversial takes in golf.
No prep. No warning.
Just honest reactions and some brutally uncomfortable truths about how golfers practice, why handicaps work the way they do, what actually makes players worse, and the beliefs that hold golfers back for years.
If you’ve ever heard a classic golf cliché, a questionable tip from a mate, or found yourself stuck in a practice rut… this episode might hit a little close to home.
• Why the way most golfers practice actually makes them worse
Internal focus, constant swing thinking, endless buckets of balls — and why it backfires.
• The handicap system and why it removes the incentive to improve
Why “fairness” in modern club golf isn’t what people think it is.
• Why short, focused practice beats long sessions every time
Attention span, skill acquisition, and why fewer reps are often more effective.
• Why most golfers will never swing like the player they’re copying
Mobility, strength, limitations — and the reality behind “just do what Rory does.”
• Why golfers blame the wrong thing every time they hit a bad shot
Shanks, big misses, misreads, excuses — and what’s actually happening.
• Why drive-for-show, putt-for-dough is terrible advice
The data, the modern game, and what really separates elite players.
• Why new clubs don’t fix anything
Equipment myths, marginal gains, and false expectations.
• Why bad conditions hurt better golfers more than higher handicappers
A perspective almost no one talks about.
This one has everything: technique, practice structure, stats, psychology, equipment myths, and a lot of honesty.
