⛳️ Today we are talking about saving your short game! For many, the short game is where rounds are won or lost. If you're having a good round, you'll still have several times where you will miss a green and you want to get close to the hole. If you're not hitting it well, the only way you're going to save your score is by having a really good short game. Let’s talk about two big mistakes I see all the time—and how you can fix them to improve your short game. Looking for the outdoor version?

How to Be More Consistent on the Golf Course | 4 Key Areas for Improvement Consistency is one of the most sought-after goals in golf, but let’s be honest – it’s also one of the hardest to achieve. A lot of golfers think being consistent means hitting perfect shots every single time, but even the best players in the world don’t do that. So, in this video, we’re going to dive into what consistency really looks like and how you can actually achieve it in your game. Want more from me?

In this video, we’ll cover four key areas you need to focus on if you want to improve your consistency on the golf course: Consistent Preparation Before the Round You’d be surprised how many golfers sabotage their rounds before they even step onto the first tee. If you’re one of those players who needs a few holes to "warm up," it’s time to rethink your pre-round routine. I’ll explain how a simple dynamic warm-up can help you start strong and stay consistent throughout all 18 holes. Forget waiting until hole 3 to start playing well – let’s get your body and mind ready from the first swing. Sticking to a Consistent Process Most golfers struggle with consistency because they don’t stick to a routine. You hit one bad shot, and suddenly you’re trying to change everything about your swing. Sound familiar? In this section, I’ll break down why sticking to a pre-shot routine is so important and how it can help you become more reliable under pressure. We’ll talk about practice swings, alignment, and the mental cues that can give you that extra confidence over the ball. Analyzing Your Game to Find Weaknesses Spoiler alert: the key to consistency isn’t always about making perfect swings. It’s about identifying the areas of your game that are really costing you strokes. We’ll talk about how to analyze your rounds to find out where you’re losing shots. Are you losing balls off the tee? Three-putting too much? Not getting up and down often enough? I’ll show you how to track your stats and target the areas that need the most work so you can practice smarter, not harder. Managing Your Emotions and Staying Focused Let’s be real – golf can mess with your head. Whether you’re riding high after a few great holes or spiraling after a couple of bad ones, your emotions can seriously affect your consistency. In this section, I’ll share some strategies for keeping your emotions in check, so you can stay focused on the shot at hand and not let past holes mess with your mindset. This is key to playing steady golf from start to finish. Why Consistency is More Than Just Hitting Perfect Shots Throughout this video, I’ll show you that being consistent on the golf course isn’t about hitting every fairway or every green. Even the top players in the world don’t do that. Instead, we’ll focus on what you can control – your preparation, your process, your analysis, and your emotions. By making improvements in these areas, you’ll set yourself up for more consistent rounds, even when your swing isn’t perfect. If you’re tired of the ups and downs and want to start seeing steady improvements in your game, this video is for you.

“Golfers need to get better at hitting their next shot.” Recently, I was fortunate enough to spend the day with three-time major champion and Hall of Fame golfer Padraig Harrington. During one of our conversations, the topic of amateur golfers came up, and he said something that really stuck with me: golfers need to get better at hitting their next shot. What he meant was the ability to focus solely on the task in front of you—letting go of distractions and not allowing the results (positive or negative) of your previous shot to affect the one you're about to hit. This resonated with me because I’ve noticed both myself and some of my students falling into this trap lately. Even though we're nearing the end of the year, I still want golfers to strive to finish their season on a high note. So today, I'm sharing what Padraig's quote meant to me, how I’ve incorporated it into my own process, and a few takeaways that might help you play better golf. Want more from me?

As 2023 ends, I take some time to look back at some things I learned this year. Some of these are more reminders than anything, but they stick out to me. Things I learned in 2023: -Never assume someone understands what you’re saying -Explore other sports (jumping, basketball) -You have to play golf with your students -Trying new things is rarely a bad idea (iI would rather try and know, than not try and wonder) -You cannot take care of your body enough (chiro, cold showers) -Padraig Harrington Loves…… ----- Links: * Learn more about Ryan - https://linktr.ee/Ryanrobillardgolf * Sign up for my weekly newsletter - https://golfneversleeps.beehiiv.com/subscribe ----- For more quality videos subscribe here ➡ / https://www.youtube.com/@ryanrobillardgolf 🔔 Turn on notifications to stay updated with new uploads #golf #podcast Music from #InAudio: https://inaudio.org/ Track Name.

I don’t want to think when I’m hitting it good! These are the famous last words that I recently heard from a student. In today's episode, I tell a story about a student of mine who recently didn't want to take feedback on his golf swing because he was hitting it very well and he thought that he had solved the problem.   This is a trap we cannot fall into! I believe when you're hitting it your best you should be taking even more video to get a very good understanding of what it looks like and what you're doing when you're hitting high-quality golf shots. Too often players just wait until they're hitting it poorly to start to take video and start to think about their golf swings. This is a short episode that is very important for you to listen to if you're working on your golf swing this off season. -----  Links:  * Learn more about Ryan - https://linktr.ee/Ryanrobillardgolf * Sign up for my weekly newsletter - https://golfneversleeps.beehiiv.com/subscribe -----  For more quality videos subscribe here ➡  / https://www.youtube.com/@ryanrobillardgolf 🔔 Turn on notifications to stay updated with new uploads #golf #podcast   Music from #InAudio: https://inaudio.org/  Track Name.

In this week's podcast, I break down five important data points for you to know and understand specific to your golf swing when you're using a launch monitor. I understand that there are different systems out there and that there are plenty of data points, but consider this a starting point of things you need to be an expert at. ----- Links: * Learn more about Ryan - https://linktr.ee/Ryanrobillardgolf * Sign up for my weekly newsletter - https://golfneversleeps.beehiiv.com/subscribe ----- For more quality videos subscribe here ➡ / https://www.youtube.com/@ryanrobillardgolf 🔔 Turn on notifications to stay updated with new uploads #golf #podcast Music from #InAudio: https://inaudio.org/ Track Name.

On course GPS is becoming more and more sophisticated. This week I interviewed Eric, who is the creator of the Shot Pattern App. Shot Pattern is one of the most advanced GPS apps I have seen. It allows you to look at a golf course before you play it, but also use it actively while you're playing golf. It does a fantastic job illustrating start lines and when you couple that with the ability to see where your dispersions will land, or where your proximity till the whole around a green will end up I think this can be a game changer for a lot of golfers out there. We had a wide-ranging conversation about how we decided to come up with this app, and some things he sees on the golf course with golfers, I also added some of my thoughts of why I think this app can help me and my players shoot lower scores. Whether you're a competitive player or just an average weekend golfer this episode is a must listen!   You can download Shot Pattern on iOS here, https://shotpattern.app/ You can find Eric on X and Instagram  @ShotPattern  ----- Links: * Learn more about Ryan - https://linktr.ee/Ryanrobillardgolf  *Sign up for my weekly newsletter - https://golfneversleeps.beehiiv.com/subscribe ----- For more quality videos subscribe here ➡ / https://www.youtube.com/@ryanrobillardgolf 🔔 Turn on notifications to stay updated with new uploads #golf #podcast Music from #InAudio: https://inaudio.org/ Track Name.
