The Most Unexpected Things That Happen Under Pressure (and how to deal with it)
In this episode, we cover a wide range of topics, starting with a debate about whether shaping the golf ball actually gives you a larger margin for error. Jon takes us inside his dramatic club championship victory, sharing the unexpected challenges and mental strategies that helped him come out on top. We also discuss how slow play can negatively affect your decision-making in tournaments and why unconventional strategies, like hitting a controlled driver instead of a fairway wood, might be worth experimenting with. Finally, we put AI golf swing analysis to the test, with some surprisingly accurate predictions and some major misses. Throughout the episode, we explore the importance of challenging conventional wisdom, testing what works for your own game, and learning to handle the unexpected.

The Golfer Who Breaks All Our Rules: Matt Lowe
In this episode, Jon and Adam are joined by elite mid-amateur Matt Lowe to break down one of the most unconventional games they’ve seen at a high level. Matt explains why he plays extremely fast, shapes the ball both ways under pressure, rarely hits full iron shots, and relies heavily on instinct, feel, and a lifetime of experimentation rather than launch-monitor data or rigid routines. They also discuss the work it took to build his ball striking, why he now practices far less and leans on “go-to” shots when his game isn’t cooperating. Matt also opens up about his long-running struggles with putting and the mental side of the game, despite having one of the best competitive seasons of his career. And you'll also hear about his social media "explosion" at the U.S. Amateur. The conversation is ultimately a fascinating look at how an elite player can break many conventional rules of modern golf and still perform at an exceptionally high level.

How to Play Better Golf in the Wind, Rain, and Cold
Use code PG25 to get 25% off all gear at https://zerorestriction.com/ In this episode, Jon and Adam break down how golfers should adjust when wind, rain, cold, and other tough conditions start changing the game. They explain why headwinds hurt more than tailwinds help, how wind magnifies curvature and distance errors, and why simply taking more club is often a better option than trying to manufacture specialty shots. They also discuss how rain and cold can affect ball flight, distance, swing speed, and even the way your body moves, along with the importance of having the right gear and warming up properly. Just as important, they explain why expectations need to change when the weather gets difficult and why fighting the conditions usually makes things worse. The goal is to treat bad weather as a different challenge, make smarter adjustments, and keep a tough round from getting away from you.

Why the Golf Course Feels Like a Threat, and How to Change That w/ Karl Morris
Karl Morris rejoins the show to discuss his new book, The Mind Caddie, and practical ways golfers can simplify the mental game and access more of the skill they already have. Karl explains why attention is such a powerful performance tool, how the time between shots can shape an entire round, and why golfers often make things worse by resisting bad shots, slow play, nerves, and other parts of the game they can’t fully control. They also explore Karl’s “ones, twos, and threes” framework for accepting the full range of shots you’ll hit, along with simple ways to use your senses, perspective, and humor to reduce the feeling of threat on the course.

The 4 Zones of Golf Improvement w/ Luke Benoit
In this episode, Jon and Adam are joined by golf coach and researcher Luke Benoit to explore how motor learning research can change the way golfers practice, build their swings, and ultimately perform on the course. Luke explains his framework of separating construction, calibration, transfer, and performance, arguing that golfers often get stuck in a “messy middle” where they’re trying to change mechanics and hit good shots at the same time. exploresThey discuss why golfers should first understand impact and calibration, why some swing changes are better trained away from the golf ball with immediate video feedback, and how “reverse chaining” can make mechanical changes more efficient. The conversation also digs into why internal swing thoughts should gradually fade as golfers move toward competition, allowing them to rely more on external focus, instinct, and athletic reaction.

The Difference Between Practicing Your Swing and Building Skill
In this episode, Jon and Adam explore why golfers can spend years chasing technical swing changes without actually becoming more skilled or consistent. They discuss why “fewer moving parts” doesn’t necessarily lead to better golf, and how constant internal thinking can pull attention away from the decisions and feel required to actually play the game. Adam explains how differential practice—intentionally changing strike location, face direction, trajectory, and other outcomes—can help golfers build the ability to self-correct rather than depend on a single swing feel. They also cover why meaningful improvement often requires exaggeration, experimentation, and learning the right “dose” of a correction instead of endlessly searching for perfect mechanics. The larger message is that technique still matters, but developing adaptable skills gives golfers a better chance to improve, troubleshoot their games, and carry those gains onto the course.
