The Sweet Spot - Golf Podcast

In this episode, Jon and Adam tackle two difficult questions golfers wrestle with all the time. First, they dig into why trying not to think about your score often backfires - and how understanding scoring ranges, perspective, and better mental “redirects” can quiet the obsession without pretending it doesn’t exist. Then they break down the real pros and cons of online versus in-person lessons, including when remote coaching can actually outperform local instruction.

In this episode, Jon and Adam dive into a new framework Jon calls the “In Spite Of” model - an honest look at the flaws every golfer has, and how you can still play great golf anyway. They unpack why some quirks should be ignored, others need ongoing management, and a select few truly deserve your attention. Along the way, they share examples from tour pros, their students, and their own games to show how imperfect swings and tendencies can still produce excellent results.

The conversation wraps with a deep breakdown of smash factor - what it real...

In this episode, we bring back Gene Parente from Golf Laboratories to break down some of the most eye-opening robot tests we’ve ever discussed on the show. From wet-vs-dry performance to why a 95 mph swing can keep up with 105 when you optimize impact, Gene explains the data in a way every golfer can actually use on the course. We also dive into mini-drivers, three-woods, gear effect, and the hidden physics that make certain clubs way harder to hit than you think. If you love understanding the why behind better golf, this is one of those conversations that will ab...

In this episode, we discuss how Adam was "swing shamed" on social media and how it reveals some truths and myths about swing aesthetics. Jon also recounts the wildest behavior he's ever seen from a playing partner in a recent tournament. We discuss how to deal with distractions and how to avoid becoming one yourself.

In this episode, Adam and I take a deep dive into when you actually shouldn’t hit driver—because despite what modern analytics say, there are times when it makes sense to leave it in the bag. We talk through how to evaluate risk vs. reward off the tee, why certain holes (like tight doglegs and pinched fairways) punish driver, and how to make smarter decisions that protect your score. Adam also shares one of his best breakdowns of beginner fundamentals—grip, ball position, posture, and the common mistakes that create chaos at impact. I talk about watching my son le...

We revisit our episode on how more golf advice (especially on the swing) is available than ever. But is consuming too much of it making you better or worse? We discuss common mistakes and how best to filter out information—even from Adam and Jon!

In this episode, Jon and Adam unpack one of golf’s most overlooked fundamentals — arc depth, the vertical dimension of your swing that determines whether you strike it pure, fat, or thin. They explain how it differs from attack angle and plane, why it’s the “hidden force” behind contact quality, and how you can train it using simple feedback drills. Jon also shares lessons from a conversation with Sir Nick Faldo about confidence under pressure, preparation, and finding a go-to shot when it matters most. The two finish by debating how launch monitors have changed the way golfers learn — an...

In this episode, Jon opens up about a recent tournament where he lost his temper on the course for the first time in years and what it revealed about perfectionism, ego, and expectation management in golf. He and Adam break down why anger shows up for golfers of every level, from the feeling of helplessness to tying our self-worth to our scores. The conversation explores how to recognize when frustration crosses the line into self-sabotage, and how philosophy and rational thinking can help you regain control. Whether you’re slamming clubs or silently boiling inside, this episode will help yo...

In this episode, we revisit how to control your distance with irons. Every round, you will encounter shots where you seem to be caught between clubs. Do you choose a longer club and take something off? Or do you go with a shorter iron and try to swing harder? We clear up many of these concepts in this episode!

Performance coach Karl Morris joins the show to discuss a ton of topics, including:

Most golfers think new equipment is the answer, but the truth is one lesson can often do more than a $1,000 driver. In this episode, Adam and Jon dig into why so many players struggle to change their swing, the role that concepts and external cues play, and how Adam fixed a 60-yard slice in just a few swings with a simple drill. We also tackle a listener question about match play strateg - how to handle the mental side of competing against a friend and avoid the common traps golfers fall into. If you’ve ever wondered why swing ch...

You’ll hear practical tools for pre-round prep, handling first-tee nerves, designing a pre-shot routine you can trust, and the underrated skill of “accessing” your ability under pressure. We also get into identity, values, and when doing nothing (and letting variance normalize) is the smartest...

In the second half, th...

Everyone talks about hitting fades and draws… but should you actually be shaping the ball both ways? In this episode, we explore the real tradeoffs of intentional shot shaping versus playing more neutral - including how it affects dispersion, confidence, and your ability to manage the course. We also break down why most golfers misunderstand “two-way misses,” and how face control (not curve) is what really separates the best players. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re overcomplicating your shot shapes, this one’s for you.
