#966 Summary The conversation with Billy Holbrook of MGI Golf revolves around the benefits of walking a golf course versus using a golf cart. We discuss how walking allows for a better memory of the course, a more enjoyable experience, increased opportunity for social interaction, the health benefits of walking, and the misconception that carts are faster. Billy talks about the increasing popularity of walking in golf and the innovations in electric caddies that make walking easier. They discuss the technology and features of electric caddies, including GPS and Bluetooth integration. The conversation concludes with a discussion on battery life and the potential for electric caddies to be used as fleet vehicles at golf courses.TakeawaysWalking a golf course allows for a better memory of the course and a more enjoyable experience.Walking provides health benefits and a more rhythmic way to play golf.Electric caddies make walking easier and offer features like GPS and Bluetooth integration.Battery life is an important consideration for electric caddies.Electric caddies have the potential to be used as fleet vehicles at golf courses.

You may remember Chambers Bay from when it hosted the 2015 US Open won by Jordan Spieth who stayed one stroke ahead of runners-up Dustin Johnson and Louis Oosthuizen for his first US Open victory.  Spieth, at age 21 became the youngest U.S. Open champion in 92 years, since Bobby Jones in 1923.

960: Summary  Kelvin Kelley returns to discuss the frustrations with online golf instruction and debunk common myths in the game. Kelvin emphasizes the importance of individualized instruction and the role of the body in the golf swing. Kelvin and Fred also discuss various aspects of the golf swing, including the concept of a turn in the golf swing and the role of the wrists. They also touch on the importance of investing in a good putter. Kelvin provides insights and tips for improving technique and mindset in the game of golf. TakeawaysOnline golf instruction can be frustrating due to the abundance of conflicting information and fads.Common myths in golf instruction include keeping the head down and keeping the left arm straight.Individualized instruction that takes into account the player's body and natural movements is key to improvement. The golf swing can be thought of as a throw or a coil, rather than a simple turn.The movement of the shoulders and upper body is a shoulder turn, while the movement of the arms and wrists is a throwing motion.The position and angle of the wrists depend on the grip and the desired club face position.Proper technique and understanding of the club's makeup are important for chipping and pitching shots.Mindfulness and focus on a specific aspect of the swing can help improve performance.Investing in a good putter and getting fitted for it can greatly impact putting performance.Two ways to become a Golf Smarter Ambassador and receive a choice of one of these great prizes including:        • *A Glove + Glove Compartment from RedRoosterGolf.com where you can now choose from a  large variety of styles of gloves for men and women in 36 sizes!          • A private link to Tony Manzoni’s video “The Lost Fundamental”.        • *A pack of 8 Flightpath Golf Tees.
