Have you ever considered that maybe, just maybe, the secret to lowering your golf score lies not in the latest swing technique, but in the recesses of your mind? Join me, John Ashton, and the wisdom-infused top 100 teacher Jeff Smith, as we unpack a mental game-changer for golf enthusiasts. We're redefining success one par 5 at a time, and trust me, this isn't your average golf chat. We're not just talking birdies and bogeys; we're getting into the nitty-gritty of why par is a professional's game and how the rest of us can find joy in every drive, chip, and putt.

Now, let’s swing over to gear talk – the PXG Black Ops Golf Driver. This isn't just another club to add to your bag; it's a tale of transformation that began with my own fitting experience. And as Jeff chimes in from the picturesque Pine Canyon, we don't just marvel at the surroundings; we dissect the PGA Championship, celebrate Bryson DeChambeau's heart, and give John Daly's antics a fairway's worth of discussion. We're peeling back the layers of the pro game to reveal just how those recovery shots and fairway stats stack up.

To cap it off, we tackle the mental tees and hazards of improving your game without letting frustration bogey your spirit. We talk handicaps and indexes, but not just the numbers – the pride, the expectation, and the very real dedication needed to swing closer to your potential. So whether you're eyeing that single-digit handicap or just looking to relish your time on the greens, this conversation is about finding your sweet spot in the game, where the love of golf meets the drive to improve. Join us, and let's put the 'play' back into 'play through.
