The Perfect Golf Swing: Is It Really THAT Important to Enjoy Your Next Round?

Author Scott Gummer has discovered a fascinating untold story of a depression era character who shot 116 the first time he played golf and followed it up six months later with a 77 on his second round. Fascinated by golf's baffling complexity and dissatisfied by instructor's explanations, Homer Kelly had a 28 year odyssey that resulted in a book called the "Golfing Machine" published in 1969. Today, Kelley's theories and research have guided players like Bryson DeChambeau, Steve Elkington and Morgan Pressel. There is even a school of training that can be found at TheGolfingMachine.com.

The Art of Scoring - pt1 - Featuring PGA Tour Winner Stan Utley

106: This is our final 2021 entry into our series featuring conversations with the late Tony Manzoni, probably the most impactful teacher, based on listener feedback, that we’ve ever featured in the 16 years of doing game improvement interviews on the Golf Smarter podcast. Tony’s ability to make his students great ball strikers wasn’t his only focus. In this episode we also discuss the mental and emotional aspects of the game that can negatively impact scoring. After a long battle, Tony finally succumbed to cancer and passed away in 2018. I am so honored to have the ability to share my many conversations over 9 years to keep his warmth, humor, stories, teaching methods, and legacy alive. Tony’s book “The Lost Fundamental: One Simple Move. Better Golf Forever.” is available once again in either paperback or kindle formats. Find it at https://www.amazon.com/Lost-Fundamental-Simple-Better-Forever-ebook/dp/B07MZFSPBW/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=tony+manzoni&qid=1583280371&sr=8-1. The Lost Fundamental video is also available online! If you’re interested, please send your request to host Fred Greene at golfsmarterpodcast@gmail.com. After Tony passed in 2018, we created a Tony Manzoni Memorial Golf Smarter Fund to benefit the First Tee of Coachella Valley, home to Tony’s lesson center and the Men’s Golf Team he coached for decades at College of the Desert in Southern California. Your tax deductible contributions are greatly appreciated. Find out more about the fund and everything we have gathered about Tony at https://GolfSmarter.com/tony . 

There's No Pressure In Golf...It's All Perception! with Tony Manzoni (RIP)

105: Even though Tony Manzoni had tremendous success coaching the Men’s golf program at College of the Desert, he didn’t focus on Men’s golf only. Tony had tremendous respect for the women’s game and believed that amateur golfers at all skill levels could learn a lot from watching the LPGA Tour. He also spent a lot of time working with children who were exceptional golfers and had a future in the professional game.  At one point in this episode, he mentions sharing videos of their swings. Unfortunately, I can’t find or share them. But it’s that work with young people that was behind our motivation to create a tax deductible fund at the First Tee of Coachella Valley, home of College of the Desert, in his memory.  Tony’s book “The Lost Fundamental: One Simple Move. Better Golf Forever.” is available once again in either paperback or kindle formats.
