90: Noah Wolf on How Tour Aim Will Transform Your Game

The Tour Aim training aid will transform the way you play golf. After being a golf writer for 5+ years I can say that not all training aids are created equal. Some are a HUGE waste of money and won't help you shoot lower scores. But one device I can't recommend enough is the Tour Aim - this device will help your aim and alignment for full shots, chipping, and putting. Plus, it's small, easy to carry in your bag, and extremely useful (both indoors and outdoors). Today, I chatted with the creator, Noah Wolfe about how he came up with this awesome training aid that is used by pros and amateurs worldwide. In this episode we discuss: What you need to do in practice to get results. How Noah slashed his handicap in half with this training aid. How Tour Aim can change your alignment (and shoot lower scores). What it takes to work a full-time career and run Tour Aim to help golfers around the world.
