Thank you for listening to part 1 of the first "Hitting It Sideways Golf Show" with Jake Thurm. I hope you enjoyed it.  Part 2 gets more into our take on the movie, Sideways and a bunch more personal and life hacks. Thanks for all your support Love y'all Guru

The long awaited spinoff of the Golf Guru Show is finally here! Guru and his friend Jake Thurm @JakeThurmgolf host the "Hitting It Sideways Golf Show" where they cover golf instruction, movies, life and hacks and personal development ideas, and of course wine!. This episode covers the move sideways, the great short game debate (steep vs. shallow) and how the boys coach the short game.  We are at over 170 or so episodes and counting so I have interviewed so many great and legendary coaches but this episode is a little different as I am recording with my great friend and top coach, teacher of tour players and the US junior golf coach and all around great guy and a legend in his own mind, Mr. Jake Thurm. You can follow Jake on all social platforms @jakethurmgolf as he is a must-follow. We are calling this the "Hitting It Sideways Golf Show" where the goal was to come together every couple of months and discuss not only teaching topics, what we are doing with our players etc., but our combined love for movies, book ideas, life and personal growth hacks and ideas and alot more. There were mentions of the importance of manscaping shaving knees, to the Mexican anti-inflamatory gel that I am applying to my knee and many more shenanigans and laughs as we get deeper in the wine goggles.  This format stemmed from his last visit to the podcast where we drank a lot of wine and chopped it up on my couch which was a huge hit, so we decided to try it out as a random show per se. Regardless, we had a great time catching up, sharing ideas and stories all the while drinking some good wine and getting sideways/ tipsy for sure by the end of this almost 2 and half hour kickoff in which I am splitting into 2 parts. So I hope you enjoy the first attempt at the Hitting it sideways while getting sideways golf show with my friend, the brilliant and entertaining, Jake Thurm. enjoy   Big thanks to our sponsor Isztuzi Golf and their continued support and counsel for my little project.  Please go and download the app by clicking the link Istuzi App (click here)   and give them a follow on instagram Follow Istruzi on Instagram (click here)   Let me know how you liked the show and feel free to leave a review on apple or spotify podcasts.   I Love ya'll   Guru
