TOUR COACH with Tony Ruggiero

Tony sits down with TJ Kathrineberg (TJK Golf), a young instructor with a big following on Instagram who now teaches 70 to 80 percent of his lessons online. TJ shares how he went from mini-tour player to club builder to coach, why he came around on online instruction, and what students can do to get the most out of it (ask questions!). They also talk about what to look for first in a student’s swing video, why you have to find out what each golfer actually wants, and how a teacher’s approach changes over time, including the three stages every coach goes through. A good listen for teachers and for anyone thinking about an online lesson.YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@DewsweeperTVTour Coach: https://rss.com/podcasts/tourcoach-with-tony-ruggiero Website: https://dewsweepersgolf.com/Instagram: https://instagram.com/thedewsweeper TikTok: @thedewsweeperFacebook: https://Facebook.com/DewSweepersGolfSchoolBe sure to like, comment, subscribe, and share!#TourCoach #TJKGolf #GolfInstruction #OnlineGolfLessons #GolfPodcast #GolfCoaching #GolfTips #prowork #dewsweepertv @dewsweepertv #golf #improveyourgolf #golftechnique #golfskill #golfinstruction #golfswing #golfcoach #TourCoach #Golfinstruction Produced by Clint [email protected]

Tony is joined by Justin Parsons and Wayne Flint for a Golf Coach Development / Tour Coach round table, answering questions from coaches in the chat. They cover whether it’s harder to build a player’s confidence now that Instagram and YouTube tips are everywhere, how JP is helping a young pro get out of a swing-thought rabbit hole, how to use the off-season to set direction with a player, and what shaped JP’s early career as a teacher (volume first, presentation second, knowledge third). They also take on the distance obsession in college golf and the shrinking short game, the pros and cons of specialist short game coaches, and why you can’t make a mule a race horse, but you can make a racing mule.Check out and subscribe to all of The DewSweeper’s online content for more golf instruction, podcasts, insights and so much more - updated daily!The Tour Coach PodcastDewSweeper TVPro Work with Tony RuggieroYouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@DewsweeperTVTour Coach: https://rss.com/podcasts/tourcoach-with-tony-ruggiero Website: https://dewsweepersgolf.com/Instagram: https://instagram.com/thedewsweeper TikTok: @thedewsweeperFacebook: https://Facebook.com/DewSweepersGolfSchool#TourCoach #GolfLive #JustinParsons #WayneFlint #GolfInstruction #GolfCoaching #GolfPodcast #ShortGame

Tony sits down with Sean Foley for a candid conversation about what really separates good golf from great. Sean has spent the fall giving leadership talks to corporate audiences, and he explains why he treats every tour player like a business, with a product, a sales force, and a management team.In this episode:Why the word “mental” gets thrown around too easily, and why the real problem is often the swing or the conditionsA TrackMan example: the same player gained 9.8 strokes in one test and lost 8.5 in another, a 17-shot difference with no change in how the swing looked on videoTraining for variety, such as playing the back, middle, and front tees for score on the same dayAccepting adversity, with a story about a delayed flight and how that mindset carries over to a bad roundWhy positivity only goes so far, but negativity always hurtsThe “You’re Not As Good As You Think You Are” proximity sheet, and the stories of Hunter Mahan and Kenny PerryWhy you should compare yourself to the Zach Johnsons of the game, not the Scottie SchefflersThanks to StayCay, our sponsor, for supporting Tour Coach.Subscribe for weekly conversations with the best minds in golf instruction.#TourCoach #SeanFoley #GolfInstruction #GolfPodcast #MentalGame #GolfTips #GolfCoachCheck out and subscribe to all of The DewSweeper’s online content for more golf instruction, podcasts, insights and so much more - updated daily!The Tour Coach PodcastDewSweeper TVPro Work with Tony RuggieroYouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@DewsweeperTVTour Coach: https://rss.com/podcasts/tourcoach-with-tony-ruggiero Website: https://dewsweepersgolf.com/Instagram: https://instagram.com/thedewsweeper TikTok: @thedewsweeperFacebook: https://Facebook.com/DewSweepersGolfSchool

Tony sits down with sports psychologist Dr. Greg Cartin for the mental side of getting better at golf. They cover practicing more like you play (one ball on the putting green, a new club every shot), why most golfers quit changes too soon, how to build an “acceptable zone of failure” into your round, and why the best players don’t make more birdies, they make fewer errors. Plus a story about pulling the flags out for nine holes and watching a 9-handicapper shoot 35, and what to do when you feel completely lost.
