Why Aren’t Golfers Getting Better?
Notes de l’épisode
Why haven’t golfers gotten much better?
Equipment is better. Instruction is better. Technology is better. But the average handicap hasn’t changed nearly as much as you might expect.
In this episode, we look at some of the reasons why.
We talk about who actually keeps a handicap, how much time and money golfers are willing to invest in improving, why age and life responsibilities matter, and why getting better becomes harder the better you get.
We also get into course difficulty, equipment, golf instruction, clean feedback loops, and why golfers tend to overreact to one bad shot instead of looking for patterns.
A good conversation about why golf is still so difficult, what actually helps players improve, and why better information doesn’t always lead to better scores.
