In this Emergency Nine episode, Garrett, Tony, and Mike dig into the mental side of scoring and the gap between the shots you can hit and the shots you will actually pull off under pressure.

This week the guys answer some important questions: How do you shoot 91 with 10 pars? When is it time to bench the driver? And what's the difference between "I can hit this" and "I probably will." What is the 70% rule, and can it save Garrett's mental game?

A candid, funny conversation about ego, course management, and learning to play the golfer you actually are — not the one you wish you were.

Ever have one of those rounds? You're hitting the ball great, but the game is just laughing at you? This week, the guys dive deep into the mental anguish that only golf can provide.

Garrett and Tony kick things off recounting the recent two-man Trifecta tournament where they played near-perfect golf tee-to-green golf, only to be beaten by cosmic bad luck and opponents who couldn't miss. From 30-foot miracle putts to flagsticks punishing perfect shots, they break down the frustration when your A-game just isn't enough.

Then Mike shares his own humbling experience as a high-handicapper playing a tough private course for the first time in two years — battling topped shots, lightning greens, and the mental gymnastics of being "the worst golfer in the group" and still wanting to come back for more.

Ever stripe a drive down the middle, hit a perfect approach, and somehow still walk off the green with a double bogey? We've all been there. That feeling is the theme of this week's episode: sometimes, That's Just Golf.

Join Tony, Garrett, and Mike as they break down their recent 27-hole Trifecta tournament — a saga of incredible ball-striking, bafflingly high scores, and the 2-foot putt they both missed in a scramble. Garrett also shares a hilarious (and slightly tragic) story about reaching a new level of golf obsession, where he fumbles a chance with a cute stranger because he's more worried about his release patterns. From frustrating lies on freshly verticut greens to putts that just won't drop, the guys get real about the maddening, unfair, and utterly lovable nature of this game.

Are you caught in a cycle of overcomplicating your golf game? Many players fall into the trap of chasing perfection by changing everything at once—only to see their progress stall. What if the real breakthrough lies in simplicity?

Tony, Garrett & Mike reveal the counterintuitive approach that’s helping golfers make consistent improvements—by focusing on just one thing at a time.

Discover why fixing multiple swing flaws simultaneously often backfires—and how to zero in on one manageable change that yields real results. Become a master of one swing thought, then build from there.

Many golfers fight early extension in the downswing, but the fix is NOT always what you think.

In this episode of the Best Golf Podcast Ever, PGA professional Tony Rosselli and TPI golf fitness trainer Mike Hendricks show golfers how to unload energy through vertical ground forces without early extending, to create a consistent swing sequence that keeps the golfer on plane.

Coiling your body correctly in the backswing sets up an effortless release of energy in the downswing. But improper coiling leads to a downswing chasing corrections and inconsistent golf shots. The spiral line connects your body in a way that can make the correct loading and unloading sequence seem counterintuitive.

In this episode of the Best Golf Podcast Ever, PGA professional Tony Rosselli and TPI golf fitness trainer Mike Hendricks discuss how the body loads in the backswing and Garrett Layell discusses a new workout he has started to train his body to coil with more power.

Effort and speed are not created equally in the golf swing. In this episode of the Best Golf Podcast Ever, PGA professional Tony Rosselli and TPI golf fitness trainer Mike Hendricks discuss how creating momentum early in the golf swing helps golfers build power that is stored and released effortlessly though impact.

Golfer Garrett Layell discusses his experience from applying Mike and Tony's advice and gives golfers feedback on how it feels to generate this power and how it has improved power and distance in his own game.

Acceleration gets the golf club moving, but transferring the potential energy into actual club speed requires deceleration. In this episode, Tony tries to help Garrett find his break pedal, and explains how this paradox is an actual fact!
