Discover the art of selecting golf equipment that not only optimizes your game but also resonates with your soul, as James advocates for an authentic, self-empowered approach to golf. Throughout the episode, we challenge industry norms, exploring the emotional landscape of the sport and how personal ownership over one's golfing journey trumps the seductive allure of quick technological fixes.

    James Day's insights illuminate the complexities of golf club fitting, the nuanced dance between technology and skill, and the potential pitfalls of an industry often more focused on selling than on genuine performance enhancement.

Sharing personal anecdotes about club selections that enrich the joy of the game, James and I reflect on how the right equipment can intuitively guide a golfer towards improvement, emphasizing that sometimes, the most effective training aids are the clubs that have been with us all along. Whether you are a seasoned pro or a newcomer to the green, this episode is a masterclass in finding balance, enjoyment, and performance on the course.
