Recently, we asked GOLF SMARTER podcast listeners to join in on the June 14th National Sorta Golf Day and send in their thoughts about our interview with the Commissioner of the Sorta Golf Association, Donn Glenn. Not surprisingly, we had many reactions to Donn’s ideas on how to improve the pace of play and how make the game more fun for non competitive players.

1.) Improve Your Lie
2.) Inside the Leather is Good
3.) Double Bogey is Max
4.) One In/One Out Principle
5.) Any Found Ball is Yours
6.) All Equipment is Conforming
7.) One Mulligan Per Round

Two listeners who won a prize package from Sorta Golf were announced on yesterday’s episode of the GOLF SMARTER podcast and in this blog, but we also wanted to share a small, but passionate, sampling of other reactions we received from our audience… Read more »

If you give yourself the freedom to fail, you may ultimately play a better game of golf. Michael Anthony, author of “The Mental Key to Improve Your Golf,” answers a listener’s question by explaining that getting nervous and worked up takes you out of the present, on this episode of Golf Smarter Tips. Like the adage “If you want it, you cannot have it; If you don’t want it, it’s yours,” you have to make yourself believe that you don’t want it.

When you strike the ball and it goes awry, most golfers think about changing the ball flight, not changing their swing. Kirk Jones of the Golf Institute of Technology explains on this episode of Golf Smarter Tips that if you swing through the ball to a balanced finish, and don’t think about striking the ball, your ball flight will automatically improve.
