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.

What really separates great putters from everyone else?
In this episode of Golf Beneath the Surface, Chase and Raymond sit down with world-renowned putting coach Stephen Sweeney to talk about what goes into becoming a great putter beyond just having good mechanics.
Stephen shares his journey from growing up in Ireland to working with some of the best players in the world, and how his approach to coaching has evolved over the years. We get into the importance of understanding how players see and process information, why focusing too much on technique can actually hurt performance, and how the best players prepare their putting for tournament play.
We also dive into the mental side of putting, the difference between hitting a good putt and making a putt, and some interesting conversations around putter design, alignment, and zero-torque putters.
A great conversation about simplifying putting, practicing with purpose, and learning to trust what you're doing on the greens.

When does playing smart golf turn into playing scared?
In Part 2 of our conversation with Lou Stagner, Chase and Raymond get into the balance between course strategy, managing risk, and still being able to play freely. Lou shares how he uses stats with his players at Princeton, why avoiding big numbers can make such a difference, and how the statistically correct decision isn't always the best decision for the player.
We also get into the importance of working the ball both ways, some interesting stats about how golfers perform throughout a round, and how to get more out of your practice when you don't have much time.
It's a great conversation about using the numbers to make better decisions without letting them get in the way of actually playing golf.

How well do you really know your own golf game?
In Part 1, Chase and Raymond sit down with Lou Stagner to talk about how stats have changed golf and what the numbers can actually tell us about our games. From strokes gained and the importance of distance to figuring out where we're really losing shots, we get into how stats can help players and coaches make better decisions.
We also talk about why golfers aren't always great at judging their own strengths and weaknesses, which stats are worth tracking, and where the numbers don't tell the whole story. And maybe most importantly, why stats are great for figuring out how to get better, but probably aren't something you should be thinking about while you're trying to play golf.

How do you know if your practice is actually making you better?
In Part 2 of our Q&A, Chase and Raymond dig into practice, pressure, and performance. They discuss how we should measure improvement, why success in practice doesn’t always transfer to the golf course, and how different types of practice can help players build skills that actually hold up when it matters.
They also dive into when a golf swing needs to be changed versus left alone, short-term fixes for anxiety and the yips, and why constantly trying to protect yourself from bad outcomes can eventually get in the way of playing your best.
At the center of the conversation is a simple question: are you playing to see how good you can be, or playing to make sure you don’t fail?

Shownotes
In part one of our Q&A, we dig into what it actually means to play freely when things aren’t going exactly how you want.
We talk about how much a player should adjust during a round, the difference between calibrating and tinkering, and why better players need to be able to make small adjustments without turning everything into a mechanical change.
We also get into acceptance—what it actually means, why it doesn’t mean being passive, and how it can give you a better starting point to make changes.
Then we finish with discomfort, uncertainty, and whether those are things golfers can actually train through practice.
A good conversation about playing free, making better adjustments, and learning how to handle the uncomfortable parts of performance.

Ryan Hager is back for part two of our conversation where we dig into the relationship between technology, coaching, and what actually helps golfers improve.
We talk about how social media has changed golf instruction, the benefits and dangers of learning from online tips, and why understanding your own swing matters more than chasing the next fix.
We also get into skill versus mechanics, why good technique doesn't always produce good contact, and how golfers can learn to control the clubface and low point without constantly rebuilding their swings.
Ryan shares his coaching preferences, how he approaches grip and wrist angles, and why struggling through a change is often necessary for improvement.
We finish with a conversation about AI, the future of golf instruction, and why technology can be incredibly useful without replacing the value of a good coach.
A great conversation about understanding your game, developing real skills, and learning how to get better.

Ryan Hager joins us for part one of a two-part conversation about coaching, practice, and what actually helps golfers improve.
We talk about Ryan’s path as a coach, the mentors who shaped the way he teaches, and what he’s learned from working with golfers of every level.
A big part of the conversation turns to a simple question: why do so many golfers work on their games without actually getting better?
We get into the things golfers tend to prioritize versus what might actually help them improve, why understanding ball flight and shotmaking matters, and why practice often gravitates toward what feels comfortable instead of what we actually need. Ryan also shares how he’s watched players improve their technique without seeing their handicaps move.
We also talk about mentorship, learning environments, block practice, course strategy, and matching instruction to what a golfer actually wants from the game.
This is part one of our conversation with Ryan. Part two picks up with more on coaching, social media, and how golfers should think about the information they consume.

What actually makes practice work?
We’re joined by Rob Failes and Garrett Chaussard from Codebreakers to talk about how coaching, practice, skill development and adaptability all fit together.
We get into block practice, why looking good on the range doesn’t always mean you’re learning, the difference between swing and skill, how great players calibrate on the fly, and why adaptability might matter more than repeatability.
We also dive into putting, habits, confidence, freedom and some of the ideas behind this year’s Codebreakers Retreat at Skokie Country Club.
A really good conversation for coaches, players, or anyone interested in what actually helps golf transfer from practice to the course.
Codebreakers is made up of Rob Failes, Garrett Chaussard, Mark Grace and Sean Kennedy. The group started through years of sharing ideas, reviewing each other’s coaching and challenging each other’s beliefs around player development. That eventually grew into small, hands-on coaching retreats built around open discussion, research and learning directly from experts in different areas of performance.
The 2026 Codebreakers Retreat is October 26–27 at Skokie Country Club in Glencoe, Illinois. Raymond will be joining the group as a featured presenter, covering the neuroscience and psychology of habits, along with block and random practice.

What if you give something everything you have and find out you still aren’t good enough?
In this episode, we discuss why avoiding that question creates more anxiety, hesitation and regret. We break down the role of radical acceptance, radical honesty and radical ownership in pursuing difficult goals and performing freely without any guarantee it will work out.
We also talk about risk, luck, failure and why being good enough means very little if you never give yourself the chance to perform well enough.
A deep conversation about facing the truth, going for what you want and choosing the type of regret you’re willing to live with.

What does it actually mean to be “on time?”
In this episode, Raymond and Chase revisit one of the foundational concepts behind stable confidence and performance: being present.
They explore why being on time is much more than “one shot at a time,” and why the brain’s natural tendency to worry about the future and replay the past makes it so difficult to perform freely when it matters most.
Topics include:
– Why anxiety pulls us into the future
– How past failures become future fears
– Why being off time is a form of multitasking
– The relationship between presence, performance, and flow state
– Why confidence is not certainty
– How trauma, bad experiences, and embarrassing moments can linger in golf
– The role of mindfulness training in performance
– Why scrolling, distractions, and constant stimulation make focus harder
– Practical ways to become more present on the courseRaymond also explains why the brain is designed to prioritize avoidance over pursuit, why “just focus on the target” is often incomplete advice, and how mindset creates the space necessary for golfers to access their skills under pressure.
Whether you’re struggling with tournament nerves, overthinking, yips, confidence issues, or simply want to understand what it means to truly play one shot at a time, this episode provides a deeper look at one of the most important skills in golf—and life.

Shownotes
In this episode, Raymond and Chase answer listener questions on sleep, learning, memory, intrusive thoughts, the yips, target focus, lowering handicaps, and why tying your identity to outcomes makes golf feel so threatening.
They discuss why sleep before and after practice helps learning stick, why “don’t three-putt” usually makes three-putting more likely, and why stepping off a shot is sometimes the best decision you can make.
They also dig into the gap between holding a target in your mind and actually being free enough to execute, especially when anxiety, fear, or avoidance are running in the background.
Other topics include:
– How naps help learning
– Why cramming is not the same as long-term learning
– Why most people are not built to perform on 4–5 hours of sleep
– How to deal with distracting thoughts over the ball
– Why yips are usually rooted in anxiety
– The fastest ways higher handicaps can lower scores

In this episode, Chase and Raymond are joined by Chia Chou, concert pianist, university professor, and founder of Audio Golf.
Chia shares how his background in elite music training led him to explore movement, rhythm, tempo, and sound as tools for better performance. The conversation dives into movement sonification, auditory-motor entrainment, putting tempo, wedge distance control, driver sequencing, and why sound can help golfers access skill without getting buried in mechanics.
They also discuss where Audio Golf may be most useful, where it has limits, and how mindset still matters when pressure, anxiety, or the yips show up.

In this episode of Golf Beneath the Surface, Chase and Raymond are joined by Dr. Pete Kadushin to explore how the stories we tell ourselves shape the way we perform.
They unpack how beliefs, narratives, and past experiences can quietly create the “rules” golfers play by—rules about score, failure, swing mechanics, pressure, and what is or isn’t possible. Pete explains why sport often acts as an amplifier, revealing the same patterns we bring into other high-meaning, high-uncertainty areas of life.
The conversation dives into why golfers often chase swing fixes when the real issue is their relationship with discomfort, uncertainty, or heartbreak. They also discuss swing thoughts, when to make in-round adjustments, why one bad shot is not always a pattern, and how trust can create more freedom than constant correction.
This is a great episode for golfers, coaches, and parents who want to better understand how mindset, narratives, and self-protection can either limit performance or open the door to growth.

Shownotes
In this follow-up episode of Golf Beneath the Surface, Chase and Raymond continue the conversation on thoughts, pressure, and performance.
After introducing A-shaped and V-shaped thinking in the previous episode, they go deeper into why simply trying to “not think” is impossible, why judging thoughts often makes them louder, and how pressure builds when golfers treat thoughts as facts, predictions, or commands.
They also explore confidence, confirmation bias, and the deeper layers behind pressure, from one bad shot to fear of letting others down, needing approval, or tying performance to identity.
This episode is about learning to see thoughts more clearly, widen your margin for error, and give yourself permission to perform freely without needing perfect feelings, perfect thoughts, or perfect outcomes first.

Shownotes
In this episode of Golf Beneath the Surface, Chase and Raymond unpack how the way we think about our thoughts can either create freedom or create pressure. They explore why self-talk is more than just “positive vs. negative,” how players unknowingly shrink their margin for error, and why that leads to anxiety, rigidity, and unstable confidence.
Raymond breaks down the difference between A-shaped and V-shaped thoughts—one style creating constriction and fear, the other creating space, resilience, and a more stable kind of confidence. This is a powerful episode for golfers, parents, and coaches who want to better understand pressure, self-talk, and how to perform with more freedom.

Shownotes
In this episode of the Golf Beneath the Surface podcast, Raymond Prior and Chase Cooper sit down with Dr. Scott Lynn, a biomechanist known for his work in golf and baseball movement research.
The conversation explores how biomechanics can help players and coaches better understand movement efficiency, power production, and how the body actually creates speed in the golf swing. Dr. Lynn explains why deceleration patterns are critical for generating power, how foot flare influences motion and ground forces, and why many golfers misunderstand what elite movement really looks like.
They also discuss the importance of owning your stock swing and why meaningful improvement still requires time on the golf course, not just time on the range.
This episode blends science, coaching, and performance insight to help golfers better understand how the body works in the swing and how that understanding can lead to more effective practice and better performance.

**Updated Audio** Chase and Raymond sit down to chat about one of the most common — and most misunderstood — ideas in golf: playing for a miss. They dig into why golf isn’t a game of misses so much as a game of variability, and how aiming to avoid trouble often creates more anxiety, more multitasking, and ultimately worse outcomes.
The boys break down predictable misses, one-way miss myths, and the difference between strategic risk and psychological avoidance. From Sawgrass tee shots and wedge decisions to tour-level scoring, dispersion patterns, and stat-driven strategy, this episode explores how fear of big numbers quietly lowers your ceiling.
If you’ve ever felt caught between “playing smart” and playing freely, this conversation reframes how to think about risk, scoring, and what it actually takes to go low.

Raymond Prior and Chase Cooper kick off 2026 with a wide-ranging conversation with John Scott Rattan, coach at Congressional Country Club and a full-time presence in the world of elite competitive golf.
John Scott breaks down what coaching Tour players actually looks like—travel, remote support, building a weekly “blueprint,” and why the goal is to eliminate anything new once the tournament starts. They get into the real separators at that level: how players handle adversity, how coaches ask better questions, and why confidence beats correctness when it’s time to compete.
The episode also goes beyond mechanics into the parts most people don’t talk about: permission to give unfiltered feedback, the coach-player relationship, why players change coaches, and how social media can help—or quietly hurt—performance. From concept vs swing thought, to in-event adjustments, to the myths that won’t die in golf instruction, this one is equal parts Tour coaching reality and high-level coaching philosophy.

**Apologies for previous technical difficulties should be good now… Blame Chase!! 😂**
In this episode, we’re joined by Gabby Herzig of The Athletic for a deeper look at the part of professional golf most people never think about — how the stories of the game actually get made. We talk through what real golf journalism looks like today, the difference between reporting and content, and how players manage the growing tension between access, image, and truth.
Gabby explains how the landscape has shifted with fan accounts, rumor cycles, and YouTube golf suddenly shaping public opinion faster than traditional media can keep up. We also explore Bryson’s reinvention, the widening gap inside the PGA Tour, and why the future of men’s and women’s golf may depend on who controls the narrative.
Toward the end of the conversation, we dive into her Masters feature on “scar tissue” — how past failures and unresolved experiences show up for elite players in the present, why anxiety is more common than people realize, and what it really means when a golfer carries their history onto a tee box like 12 at Augusta.
It’s a grounded, honest look at the forces shaping modern golf, the psychology underneath the biggest moments, and the human side of a game that often gets covered only at the surface level.

In this episode, Raymond and Chase sit down with longtime friend and renowned coach John Dunigan to talk about what real skill development looks like—and why most golfers spend their time on the wrong things. John breaks down the difference between improving a motion and improving a skill, why perfection and “consistency” often hold players back, and how tools like external focus, exaggeration, and the Goldilocks principle help golfers learn faster.
They also dig into why low point, face-to-path, and predictable curve matter far more than picture-perfect mechanics, how to blend block and random practice the right way, and why practice should mirror the shots you actually face on the course—not just what feels good on the range.
John also shares his work with the Skilled Coaching Alliance, where coaches learn to apply motor learning science in real lessons, and the Practice Coach app, which builds structured, disciplined training sessions that help players get better where it counts.

Why can you stripe it on the range but not when it matters? In this episode, we unpack the gap between practice and performance—and what it really takes to transfer skills from a controlled setting to the course. From Scott Fawcett’s DECADE framework to blackjack analogies, we dig into decision-making, judgment, and why context always matters.
We explore how conservative swings under pressure can backfire, why warmups aren’t fortune tellers, and the training principles—spacing, randomizing, experimenting with extremes—that create freedom when it counts. If you’ve ever walked off the range feeling ready, only to tighten up on the first tee, this one’s for you.
