What if the secret to more power and consistency in your golf swing starts beneath your feet?PGA of Canada Class “A” Professional Ryan Holley joins Steve Tees Off for a fascinating deep dive into the science of the golf swing, ground reaction forces, biomechanics and the technology changing how golfers understand their movement.Ryan specializes in analyzing how golfers interact with the ground — when they apply force, how much they generate, and how the timing and direction of that force influence body rotation, clubhead speed, club delivery and ball flight.Using technology such as force plates and launch monitors, Ryan helps golfers understand what's really happening in their swing rather than relying on guesswork.His work has included advising Nick Taylor and working with elite players, including Tony Finau, J.J. Spaun and Michael Gligic.In this episode, Steve and Ryan explore:Why your golf swing starts from the ground upWhat force plates reveal that traditional video analysis may missHow ground reaction forces influence power, speed and consistencyThe difference between pressure, balance and forceWhy copying another golfer's swing isn't always the answerWhat everyday golfers can learn from Tour-level swing analysisHow data and technology can help identify what you actually need to improveThe future of golf coaching and biomechanicsWe also discuss Ryan's journey from Southwestern Ontario to British Columbia, the challenges facing junior golf in BC, and what it will take to develop the next generation of Canadian PGA Tour and LPGA Tour players.Whether you're a competitive golfer, a golf coach or a weekend player looking to better understand your own swing, this conversation goes beyond conventional golf tips and into the mechanics behind better ball striking.Learn more about Ryan Holley:https://ryanholleygolf.com/Follow Steve Tees Off on Spotify for more golf stories, tips and conversations with the people shaping the game.Brought to you by: RiversideGolf.ca and Kings Links by the Sea
Taylor Kim has lived almost every side of competitive golf — junior golf, Team Canada, NCAA competition, professional events, coaching, and now another championship win.In this episode of Steve Tees Off, Taylor joins Steve after capturing her second PGA of BC Women’s Championship and talks about what it took to come from behind, stay patient, and win without feeling like she had her best game.That lesson is especially meaningful because it’s the same one she gives her own students: you don’t need your A-game to compete.Taylor takes us back to the beginning — learning the game from her father, travelling for tournaments as a teenager, dealing with the pressure and anxiety that can come with elite junior golf, and eventually representing Team Canada before earning a Division I scholarship at Kent State University.We also talk about her transition from player to coach, her work at Beach Grove Golf Club, coaching with the UBC women’s golf program, and why she believes women’s golf in British Columbia is in such a strong place right now.This is a conversation about more than being a player — it’s about the journey, the lessons, and helping build the next generation.Follow Steve Tees Off on Spotify for more golf stories, tips and conversations with the people shaping the game.Brought to you by: RiversideGolf.ca and Kings Links by the Sea
