Ev and Cerm hop aboard the Train to settle an argument about tinkering -- is it helping or hurting your golf game? Are you a tinkerer or are you actually getting better at golf? **Key Highlights from This Episode:** 🏌️‍♂️ **Dive Into the Fundamentals** Evan's sage (and occasionally frustrating) journey toward a smooth takeaway and maintaining confidence opens the door to discussing the foundational 'feels'. Learn why starting with rhythm can transform your game, and why an ace on the golf course might be closer than you think. 📊 **The Numbers Game:** Matt and Evan get real about practice – it's not about the scores or the stats. What drives improvement is a deep understanding of the basics: grip, stance, posture, and the weight distribution dance. If you need a coach in your ears, consider us your on-the-go caddies. 😤 **Tinkering Pitfalls to Avoid:** We dissect our tendencies to 'fix' our swings, looking at Tiger Woods as a high-profile tinkerer. But remember, without his incredible understanding of the swing, this strategy could be a trap. 🏌️‍♀️ **Rethink Your Swing Thoughts:** Hear about simplifying your focus to "bump left, load right," and why muscling every swing might be throwing your game off track. Evan shares his enlightening lesson with coach Josh, and why that might mean less is actually more. 💡 **The Power of Soft Swings:** Evan's astonishing 80 is a testament to the wonders of swinging softly. Matt pushes him to reflect: should fixing the takeaway obsession be the goal, or is it merely a golfer's mirage? 🔄 **Tinkerer vs. Betterer:** Join the debate as we embrace our flaws and question our pursuit of that elusive 'perfect' swing. Do pros like Adam Scott have the secret, or is it more about accepting our unique gameplay?
