"CJ Silas joins Mike & Billy in studio from The CJ Silas Show for a 2012 reveiw and the announcement of her move to Wednesdays on ESPN 1280. Jaacob Bowden from Swing Man Golf calls into the show to discuss how to increase your swing speed and the RE/MAX Long Drive Finals airing on ESPN Sunday, December 30th, 2012."
Sometimes it can be a blow to the ego to go to a new course where the ball seems to go nowhere and you just can’t bring yourself to hit 5-iron, for example, when you could normally hit 7-iron.
But if you want to score well, it’s something that can be important to understand and accept…that is, that distances can vary quite dramatically from course to course.
To illustrate this, let’s take a look at the average driving distances for the field in the following PGA Tour and European Tour events from 2012.
Got invited to go back for the 3rd time on Golf Smarter Podcasts as a guest for Episode #357.
Show Notes:
"Jaacob Bowden of SwingManGolf.com came in 5th at this year’s Speedgolf World Championships. He hasn’t been in running shape since since High School, but trained for 2 months running the streets of Zurich with a golf bag over his shoulder to prep for this international tournament. He joins host Fred Greene to discuss the elite class of Speed Golf, how to train, the rules, and the benefits to the mental game that comes with playing at a very, very fast pace."
Was a guest again on Golf Smarter Podcasts. Have a listen to Episode #336 below!
Show Notes:
"GSfMO#337 Mike Austin over drove a 450 yard hole while in his 60s! Jaacob Bowden lowered his handicap from 14-scratch with his method and now he’d like to share it with you. Austin is gone but Jaacob met and studied his method of keeping the club face square through more of the swing."
In Melbourne and Canberra, Australia from January 22nd - February 6th for the Australian Open (tennis) and some golf teaching. I did get to play a little…highlights included an eagle on #1 at Federal in Canberra and a 402-yard drive (been awhile since I had once over 4 bills) on #10.
