The LPGA Gets Tough On Gender Policy - Well Sort Of????

Daniel discusses the LPGA's recent policy on gender, the LPGA says its players must be female at birth or transition before puberty, Whaaaaat? He'll discuss the new policy and how we got to this point.

The LPGA reportedly spent $10 Million and more than a year of study involving medicine, science, sport physiology and gender policy law. Here's a novel idea, if you're born a female you can play born a man nope, I would of only charged them $1 Million....

The LPGA and USGA say their policies were geared toward being inclusive of gender identities and expression while striving for equity in competition. The LPGA said its working group of experts advised that the effects of male puberty allowed for competitive advantages in golf compared with players who had not gone through puberty. You think?

“Our policy is reflective of an extensive, science-based and inclusive approach,” said LPGA commissioner Mollie Marcoux Samaan, who announced on Monday that she is resigning in January, shocker that she's leaving.

There's even a “Competitive Fairness Gender Policy” for the USGA that takes effect for the 2025 championship season that starts with the US Women’s Amateur Four-Ball in May, because we need that.....simply crazy!

The Golf Swing Analysis Group Craze - Is it good for you, NOPE!

There are thousands of Golf Swing Analysis Groups on FaceBook, Reddit, YouTube and countless other media channels. Some are private where you need to enter your information and be "Approved" so that they can send you all sorts of golf related stuff others are public where anyone can post.

You know the deal, golfers post videos of theirs swings and ask the group for analysis. Just when I write and/or you read that you know it can't be good for you!

Listen as Daniel takes you thru why this practice of asking people you don't even know is bad for your game!

F-O-R-E Minute Friday - Fix Your Contact Issues Today!

Improve Your Golf Contact in 3 Minutes

Struggling with poor contact? It often comes down to weight distribution. Many golfers keep their weight back as the club moves forward, causing the club to hit behind the ball. Fixing this can transform your game—I guarantee it!

Here’s the simple tip:

When you finish your swing, ensure:

1. Weight is forward.

2. Knees are close almost touching.

3. You can tap your back foot.

Try this drill, It’s called the Gary Player Drill:

- Start with your feet together.

- Take a backswing.

- As you swing forward, step forward with your lead foot. This encourages proper weight shift and forward movement.

In just a few swings, you’ll feel the difference. Solid contact, every time. Give it a shot!

Why You Can't Get Better With YouTube/Social Media Golf Videos

Sometimes well intended projects have ill effects. I'd put Youtube Golf Videos into this category.

I honestly believe that people go onto YouTube with the intention of helping golfers get better. In reality, I don't think there is a coach in any sport with the intention of making any one worse at a sport, most coaches have a genuine desire to help people.

However, I think that in general the Youtube format is not well suited to help people improve.

I'll give you a quick 5 reasons why I am making this bold claim:

  1. Your Grip and Hands do EVERYTHING in the golf swing
  2. The Golf swing works in 3D, which means if you change one thing, you have to change 2 other corresponding things for it to work and keep working
  3. The Golf swing is subject to the direction of momentum, and often times you cannot see on video how this momentum is affecting your swing
  4. Feel is Never real
  5. Small things make big differences in Golf

F-O-R-E Minute Friday - Does Getting Fit For Clubs Really Matter, Um HELL YEAH!

There isn't a week that goes by where I don't get this question and my answer is always the same, hell yes it does.

I like the term “optimized” rather than getting “fit” because with today’s data that’s ultimately what we’re doing. Optimizing the clubhead, shaft, grip, kick point, balance point, lie angle and shaft weight to help the golfer be the most efficient they can be. The exact same approach we have for every students golf swing.

Read the entire story here.
