  • The Timeless Wisdom of Harvey Penick's Little Red Book
    Jun 23 2025
    Harvey Penick's Little Red Book is regarded as one of the best golf books ever written. In this episode, we break down some of the top takeaways from the book that remain relevant today, despite being decades old. What's old is new again! Thank you to our show sponsors Hack Motion, Rhoback, and LMNT Analyzing thousands of swings, our partner HackMotion found that casting is one of the most common faults among mid- and higher-handicap players — and a major reason for lost power, poor contact, and inconsistency. If you’re releasing the club early in the downswing, you’re leaving distance on the table and making it harder to strike the ball solidly. The good news? You can fix it with one simple drill.

I really enjoyed this episode as I prepared and set my goals for 2023. It helped me create the proper expectations and mindset for the upcoming year.

Although it wasn't aside in the podcast, it reminded me of the book 4 disciplines of execution and to focus on lead measurements, and the lag measurements will take care of themselves. Set the goals on things I can control, like exercise, practice, mindset, and my handicap will take care of itself.

Best quote of the podcast was "Long term success is the aggregate of marginal gain" by Dave Brailsford. This is a great way to frame the improvements for my golf game.

great podcast to help properly frame your mind
