Clear Key Golf with Our Grand Dad of the Mental Game, Carey Mumford (RIP) | golf SMARTER #854 Aug 02, 2022

Show notes

Mental Coach Carey Mumford, creator of the Clear Key System, spends nearly an hour in this entertaining and provocative episode that was originally published privately as a Members Only episode. This was my last conversation with Carey before he passed in 2013. Over the years, we’ve had many requests to hear more from Carey as all of his content, and his book, have basically disappeared after he died. Because of the Mental Game content we’ve focused on the last few episodes, I thought this was the perfect time to share this episode on Golf Smarter instead of Golf Smarter Mulligans

This conversation was originally published in 2011.

Their Research Shows That Thinking About The Mechanics During Your Golf Swing Is Counter Productive | golf SMARTER #853 Jul 26, 2022

Show notes

853: This week we feature two Professors of Kinesiology and their 30 year study of athletic movement. Dr Gabriele Wulf from UNLV and Dr Rebecca Lewthwaite of USC share their research that confirms what many golf instructors and mental coaches have been emphasizing for years on this show. Clearing your mind during your golf swing will result in greater performance. We base our fascinating conversation on their paper “Translating Thoughts Into Action: Optimizing Motor Performance and Learning Through Brief Motivational and Attentional Influences”. They also provide tools that every golfer can use to “make the choice” of how to let “External Focus” take over your mind. Check the https://golfsmarter.com blogpost of today’s episode to download the paper.

Rapsodo Mobile Launch Monitor: Pro Level Data. Every Golfer’s Price | golf SMARTER #851 Jul 13, 2022

Show notes

851: If you’ve taken a golf lesson in the last 15 years, your instructor may have used a Trackman launch monitor to gather shot data. But Trackman is a huge investment which can exceed $25,000. When you watch golf on TV, TrackMan data is regularly referred to. But now every golfer is able to purchase a variety of mobile launch monitors at reasonable prices with impressive results. Rapsodo is the clear leader in this space, being name the Best Personal Golf Launch Monitor of 2021 by MyGolfSpy because of its impressive performance against other Mobile Launch Monitors from SkyTrak, Flightscope, and Garmin. The great part of Rapsodo is that it can be used indoors or out, whether you’re hitting into a net or at the driving range. Our guest this week is Rapsodo’s Testing and Research Coordinator, Justin Bryant, who had a successful playing career at Wake Forest, Arnold Palmer’s alma mater. We learn about Justin’s journey from amateur to pro, ending up working for Rapsodo.com
