Episode Summary

In this episode of The Golf Intervention, we break down the three elements of the golf swing—time, energy, and geometry. While many golfers are obsessed with geometry and, more recently, speed, we discuss why that’s only part of the equation. We also dive into the history of swing models, teaching theories over the years, and why changing your swing isn’t something to take lightly. If you’ve ever wondered whether you should tweak your mechanics or chase the latest swing trend, this episode is for you.

What We Cover in This Episode:

✔️ The three key elements of the golf swing: time, energy, and geometry
✔️ Why golfers are overly focused on geometry and speed—and the potential pitfalls
✔️ A look at the history of swing models and teaching philosophies
✔️ How to approach swing changes wisely to avoid setbacks
✔️ The story of Rob Failes being blocked on Twitter by Brandel Chamblee

✔️ The real factors that lead to long-term improvement
