Sign up for the free course/library of 22 drills to help you get better at golf hereThis week’s Wednesday Wisdom is inspired by Cameron Young’s breakthrough and recent win at The Players Championship. For years, Cameron Young was labelled as one of the best players in the world without a win. Close calls, high finishes, but just couldn’t quite get it done. Then he finally breaks through… and not long after, he wins again on one of the biggest stages in golf. It’s a great reminder that not every golfer progresses at the same speed. Some players burst onto the scene and win early.Others take time… but when they get there, they stay there. If you feel like your progress is slower than others around you, this episode is for you.We thank Titleist - The number 1 brand in golf for their continued support of the YGP Podcast!🚨 Podcast Partner: TRUE PROTEINI’m proud to partner with TRUE PROTEIN, the go-to supplement brand trusted by elite athletes and weekend warriors alike.

Tom’s journey through the game is one that so many golfers can relate to — chasing the dream on the UK mini tours, competing on the EuroPro circuit, and coming agonisingly close to qualifying for The Open Championship not once, but twice. We dive into the realities of life as a touring professional outside the spotlight — the financial pressures, the grind of travel, and what it really takes to try and make it at the highest level. Tom also shares some incredible stories from his career, including writing for Golfpunk magazine while pursuing his playing dream, landing starts on the Challenge Tour, and even taking his golf to the Caribbean working onboard a cruise ship teaching and playing with guests. Now based in New Zealand as the Head Professional at Kinloch — a Jack Nicklaus-designed course — Tom reflects on his transition away from playing, what he’s learned from being around world-class players (including Nicklaus himself), and what truly separates the best in the world from the rest. We also dive into course strategy, and practical tips that everyday golfers can take straight to the course. This is a great conversation about resilience, perspective, and finding your place in the game — whether that’s chasing the tour or building a career around it.We thank Titleist - The number 1 brand in golf for their continued support of the YGP Podcast!🚨 Podcast Partner: TRUE PROTEINI’m proud to partner with TRUE PROTEIN, the go-to supplement brand trusted by elite athletes and weekend warriors alike.

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.We thank Titleist - The number 1 brand in golf for their continued support of the YGP Podcast!🚨 Podcast Partner: TRUE PROTEINI’m proud to partner with TRUE PROTEIN, the go-to supplement brand trusted by elite athletes and weekend warriors alike.

This week I want to share a really interesting lesson from a coaching session that opened up a bigger conversation about performance. I had a client who has been improving really nicely. His swing is trending in the right direction, contact is better, and overall ball flight has improved. But there was still one big frustration… inconsistency with his irons. So we put him on the launch monitor. With his 7 iron, his carry distance was ranging anywhere from 109 metres to 141 metres. That’s a 32-metre gap with the same club. For any golfer, that’s nearly the difference between being on the green or in a bunker over the back. Now here’s where it gets interesting. I grabbed a different 7 iron — something I felt was better suited to his speed and delivery. Same player. Same swing. Same session. Suddenly his carries were between 138 metres and 143 metres. Tight window. Predictable. Repeatable. Nothing magical happened to his technique in those 10 minutes. The difference? Equipment. In this episode we talk about:Why inconsistency isn’t always a swing issueHow launch monitor data can expose hidden problemsThe role shafts, loft, and head design play in distance controlWhy guessing your yardages can cost you shots every roundSometimes we beat ourselves up thinking our swing is broken… when in reality, the tools we’re using might be working against us. If you’ve ever felt like you “flush one” and it comes up 20 metres short — this episode is for you.We thank Titleist - The number 1 brand in golf for their continued support of the YGP Podcast!🚨 Podcast Partner: TRUE PROTEINI’m proud to partner with TRUE PROTEIN, the go-to supplement brand trusted by elite athletes and weekend warriors alike.
