  Ep. 136 The Velocity of Your Game

  Aug 19, 20261h 24m

  Andy Walker heads back to one of his old junior stomping grounds for the Mollymook Senior Amateur — and discovers that while the scorecard says 79 , the story is considerably more positive. After a week of preparation, some last-minute advice from former LPGA Tour player Wendy Doolan and a promising range session, Andy arrives at Mollymook feeling confident. Then the nerves kick in. There are snap hooks, unlucky bounces, slow greens, a cricket-ball-quality collision with a course stake and a few questionable club-selection decisions. But there are also plenty of signs that the game is moving in the right direction. The boys dig into why the score isn't always the best measure of how well you've played , the importance of staying in the fight when things aren't going your way, and their favourite concept of the "velocity" of your game — not just where your game is, but the direction and speed in which it's moving. There's also a deep dive into putting. Andy discusses his new putter, why he's finally starting to feel confident over longer putts, and the fascinating discovery that what your eyes tell you about your putting alignment may not be what is actually happening. And, naturally, there are some important questions: Why didn't Andy hit driver? What exactly constitutes a "stinger"? And how many times can you hit a snap hook before you finally admit there's a problem? The episode finishes with some exciting news: Andy has entered three more senior amateur events, all qualifiers for the NSW Senior Open . The pilgrimage continues.

  Episode #135

  Ep. 135 The Putter Doesn't Lie

  Aug 12, 20261h 7m

  Steve and Andy dive deep into the numbers behind Andy’s latest putting transformation, following a coaching session with Andrew Dote and a Sam PuttLab analysis of the new LAB DF3 Sweeper. The results are revealing. Andy’s new putter has dramatically improved his consistency and face stability, particularly on longer putts—but the data also exposes some new problems. He’s consistently hitting the putter on an outside-in path, producing what might be described as a remarkably reliable collection of baby fades. The boys unpack face aim, face rotation, impact position, launch angle, forward press, acceleration and the eternal battle between feel and real. They also explore why the right equipment matters: a club fitting won’t magically fix your golf swing, but the wrong equipment can make improvement almost impossible. And there’s a bigger lesson in the data. Knowing what you actually do, rather than what you think you do, changes the way you practise. Then Steve shares a brief update of a round with his new coach, Matt—a round that provides a perfect demonstration of another Missing Links principle. One bad shot doesn't have to become a bad round. Finally, the weather turns nasty, the temperature drops, the rain arrives, and the boys find themselves asking the question every golfer has asked at some point: Why do we do this? Fortunately, there might just be a song about it. Join the fun by entering The Missing Links Yearly Championship to compete with Steve, Andy and other Pilgrims from all across the world.

  Episode #134

  Ep. 134 It Gets Ugly Before It Gets Better

  Aug 6, 20261h 19m

  Steve has officially found a coach. In this episode, Matt Woodbridge returns to the show—but this time with a very different role. After months of searching for someone who could provide more than another swing tip, Steve begins what he hopes will be a long-term coaching journey towards scratch golf. Rather than immediately changing mechanics, Matt starts by asking bigger questions: Where do you actually want to get to? What kind of golfer are you trying to become? What part of your game would you fix if you could only choose one? The answers aren't as simple as they seem. The guys dive into why most coaching stops at the symptoms instead of addressing the causes, why data can sometimes challenge what you think your weaknesses are, and how real improvement requires commitment long before the scorecard shows it. Later, they unpack the first technical changes from Steve's initial practice session—including two setup adjustments that immediately transformed his five iron from a leaking 150-metre fade into a solid 170-plus metre strike. But perhaps the biggest lesson wasn't technical at all... Sometimes the swing has to feel completely wrong before it becomes right. It's an honest conversation about coaching, trust, patience and the uncomfortable reality that meaningful improvement often gets worse before it gets better. Rock Factor The episode finishes with the debut of Steve's new original song inspired by the coaching journey—a fitting reminder that the biggest breakthroughs often begin with the discomfort of change. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Join the fun by entering The Missing Links Yearly Championship to compete with Steve, Andy and other Pilgrims from all across the world.

  Ep. 133 When Going Low Get's Hard

  Jul 28, 20261h 9mS1

  Send us Fan Mail What happens when you suddenly find yourself four under par after nine holes? This week Steve and Andy welcome back fan favourite Mick Patterson for an episode that starts with an ordinary competition round before taking an unexpected turn into one of the most fascinating mental game discussions we've had on the show. Mick shares the story of a practice round where, despite arriving underprepared and without his usual routine, he found himself four under through the front nine. The conversation explores what changes when you're playing better than you've ever played before—and why closing out great rounds is often harder than creating them. The boys unpack: Why trying to hit the ball harder often makes you hit it shorter. How tempo and rhythm unlocked Mick's best ball-striking. The challenge of staying present when your score starts getting your attention. Practical techniques for returning to the moment using breathing, awareness and your senses. Why learning to be uncomfortable is part of becoming a better golfer. Later in the episode, Mick introduces his new golf simulator business, discussing everything from designing the perfect home setup to avoiding costly mistakes when building your own indoor practice space. To find out more about home golf simulators, contact Mick via 0410721864 or email mick@thesimstudio.com.au And of course, Golf Rock returns with another original song—this time dedicated to Andy Walker's long-running battle with Kooindah's infamous 13th hole. If you've ever wondered why your best golf disappears just when it matters most, this episode is for you. In This Episode Thursday's less-than-memorable competition round. Mick's remarkable four-under front nine. Why tempo beats effort. The psychology of protecting a great score. Flow state versus analytical thinking. Using your senses to stay present. Breathing techniques for pressure situations. Why experience is the key to learning how to go low. Inside Mick Patterson's new golf simulator business. Golf Rock: The 13th Owns Me. Quote of the Week "Stop thinking and come to your senses." Pilgrim's Challenge The next time you feel pressure building during a round, don't fight it. Instead, bring your attention back to something real: Feel your feet on the ground. Feel your hands on the club. Notice the trees moving. Listen to the birds. Take one slow, connected breath. Then simply play the next shot. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Join the fun by entering The Missing Links Yearly Championship to compete with Steve, Andy and other Pilgrims from all across the world.
