Claude welcomes instructor Matt Gallant to the podcast for a conversation about the fine line between good and great players. Matt shares lessons from his own journey as both a competitor and coach — from facing Brandt Snedeker in high school to now teaching at The Floridian. They discuss the mental edge that separates elite golfers, why pros constantly tweak their swings, and the importance of balancing technical knowledge with on-course instincts. Plus, Matt and Claude reflect on the shared challenge — and joy — of a game that’s never easy to master.
