In this episode of the Your Golf Performance Podcast, I sit down with PGA Master Professional Christopher Smith — a 3-time Teacher of the Year, Golf Digest Top Instructor, and Guinness World Record holder in Speedgolf. With nearly four decades of coaching experience, Christopher shares how his philosophy has evolved and why most golfers are practicing the wrong way. We dive into block vs random practice, how to structure training if you only have three hours a week, and what truly separates elite performers from the pack — from juniors right through to the Rory’s and Scottie’s of the world. We also explore what Speedgolf taught him about scoring, rhythm, and decision-making — and how traditional golfers can benefit from it. If you’re serious about improving, coaching, or developing junior players, this episode is packed with insight.
