Mobility for Golfers, Back-Friendly Car Ride Stretches & Club Championship Recap | FairwayFit Golf PodcastBrad and Greg return after a break to catch up on how they’re feeling physically, how daily mobility has helped with stiffness from long car rides, and how Brad’s recent back spasm affected him. They discuss each other’s inconsistent but improving golf games, with a focus on wedges and short game inside 100 yards, garage practice for better contact, and Brad’s search for his own driver after borrowing one for nearly a year. On the fitness side, they share go-to mobility work for loosening the back after driving, including the world’s greatest stretch, T-spine rotation, hip flexor/hamstring work, open book rotation/thread the needle, and an honorable mention Jefferson curl. They recap Greg’s Stoneleigh club championship match-play run (winning his first match before losing in the semifinal) and identify tee-ball consistency as a strength and mid-irons/par threes as a weakness, then close by reviewing their recent “major” round at South Riding with their kids along for the day.Season 3, Episode #23- Club Championship and Major #406:05 Fitness & Mobility13:24 Club Championship28:08 Major #4 at South RidingCheck us out: Follow FairwayFit Golfwww.FairwayFitGolf.comYoutube:@FairwayFitGolfPodcastTwitter: @FairwayFitGolfIG: @FairwayFitGolfTik Tok: @FairwayFitGolf

Golf Equipment: Does New Gear Fix Your Game? Fittings, Drivers, Irons & Ball Choices (Episode 22)In Episode 22 of the FairwayFit Fit Golf Podcast, Greg, Stevie P (Tips From The Pro), and Brad kick off with a mishap in the home simulator that shatters a framed golf picture, then dive into a detailed discussion on whether golf equipment truly helps players improve or simply acts as a Band-Aid. They debate how to spend $1,500–$3,000 building a bag for a 15-handicapper, highlighting direct-to-consumer brands like Sub70 and the value of buying used. The group breaks down how driver technology has evolved (SLDR to Twist Face to modern composite heads), when clubs become “too old,” how fitting applies at different skill levels, which numbers matter, and what to ask a fitter. They also cover iron forgiveness vs consistency, wedges and the overrated 60°, the importance of playing a consistent golf ball “window,” and finish with rapid-fire equipment takes and dream-bag picks.

Rapid-Fire Golf Debates with Stevie PIn Episode 21 of the FairwayFit Fit Golf Podcast, Brad and Greg welcome back Stevie P for a party-style three-ball episode and shift away from “tips from the pro” to play a rapid-fire golf game. They discuss the season winding down with shorter days, youth sports, and uncertainty around the time change, plus delaying Major #4 due to the course punching greens. Greg runs a “this or that” and “would you rather” covering driver vs 3-wood (including Stevie P discovering his driver face is cracked mid-round), preferred shot shapes, blades vs cavity backs, ball choices, walking vs riding, stinger vs high ball, and favorite course styles. They also debate what golf element to remove forever and pick top bucket-list golf experiences like free golf for life, Masters invites, Augusta, club championships, and annual trips.00:00 Welcome to Episode 2100:45 Catching Up on Golf Life01:52 Daylight Saving Time Debate03:42 Tonight’s Show Plan04:41 Greg’s Rapid Fire Game06:50 Clubs and Ball Choices11:40 Walking and Putting Talk16:03 Stingers vs High Shots18:13 Make the Putt or Stick It19:06 Putt Talk Recap19:46 Links Or Parkland21:45 Range Or 18 Holes24:04 Remove One Forever27:01 Pick Three Golf Dreams28:14 Augusta And Masters Debate33:52 Grand Slam Legends Chat40:13 Final Thoughts And PlugCheck us out: Follow FairwayFit Golfwww.FairwayFitGolf.comYoutube:@FairwayFitGolfPodcastTwitter: @FairwayFitGolfIG: @FairwayFitGolfTik Tok: @FairwayFitGolf

FairwayFit Fit Golf Podcast Ep. 20: Summer Season Wrap + Golf MythbustersIn episode 20 of the FairwayFit Fit Golf Podcast, educators Greg and Brad return to work after a short summer and wrap up their eight-week summer golf competition, where Brad wins decisively after Greg’s “blind Hail Mary” point-doublers fail to hit. They recap Brad’s strong play, including an even-par 72 and consistently low rounds, while Greg grades his season a “C,” describing near misses, a rain-delayed round, and an errant tee shot that reached a parking lot before he salvaged a net score. The episode’s main segment is a “Mythbusters” game debating common golf beliefs such as playing your miss, uphill vs. flat lies, range practice translating to the course, the first tee shot setting the tone, hangover vs. lack of sleep, rangefinders helping or hurting, playing with better golfers, conservative tee strategy, and whether a home course inflates handicap, before previewing upcoming announcements and major number four.00:00 Episode 20 Kickoff01:02 Back to School Blues02:27 Summer Season Wrap02:53 Hail Marys and Score04:55 Stats and Consistency07:13 Season Grade Talk08:57 Rain Delay Round16:23 Punishment and Phantom17:40 Mythbusters Begins21:48 Range and Tee Myths23:41 Hangover Golf Debate24:14 No Hangover Genetics25:42 Grind vs Protect Lead29:07 Warmup and Salvage Mode30:54 Scorecard and Late Collapses32:26 Rangefinder Myth37:29 Better Players Boost You39:48 Safe Tee vs Blowups45:17 Home Course Handicap Effect49:18 Season Wrap and Next MajorCheck us out: Follow FairwayFit Golfwww.FairwayFitGolf.comYoutube:@FairwayFitGolfPodcastTwitter: @FairwayFitGolfIG: @FairwayFitGolfTik Tok: @FairwayFitGolf
