In this episode, Jon and Adam explore one of the most common reasoning errors in golf instruction: false dichotomies. Many debates in golf are framed as “either/or” arguments—technique vs feel, steep vs shallow, mechanics vs athleticism—when the reality is far more nuanced. Jon and Adam break down how these faulty binaries show up in instruction, social media discussions, and the way golfers interpret advice. They explain why this type of thinking can slow improvement and create unnecessary confusion for players trying to get better. The episode offers a more balanced framework for evaluating golf ideas without falling into the trap of choosing sides.
