The Sweet Spot - Golf Podcast

This episode explores two topics - shallowing the golf club and first tee jitters. Shallowing the club has been a very popular topic for years, and Adam breaks down how it can benefit golfers, but more importantly, if it's relevant to you. We also discuss how to handle first tee jitters.
