Read the shot first
How to read the lie, picture how the ball will come out and choose the shot the lie allows, before you pull a club.
Podcast & Lectures by Chris Brook
Three decades of coaching thinking, recorded for golfers: how to read the shot in front of you, why the swing you find on the range goes missing on the course, and how to play when the score starts to matter. Join for the full library, or buy single episodes as you need them.
Every episode takes one problem golfers bring into the studio and gives it the time a lesson rarely allows. The library is built around four areas, drawn from the books and from three decades of work with players.
How to read the lie, picture how the ball will come out and choose the shot the lie allows, before you pull a club.
Why the swing you find on the range goes missing at the first tee, and how to practise so it doesn’t.
Expectation, tension and the story you tell yourself on the first tee, and how to stop them costing you shots.
What the numbers from a lesson actually mean, and the one or two that are worth caring about in your game.
Podcast or lecture? Podcasts are audio you can listen to anywhere. Lectures come with the slides, so they’re best followed at a desk. Every episode in the list below is marked so you know which you’re getting.
Members get every episode and lecture, past and future. If you only want one topic, buy that episode on its own and keep it.
Are you a coach? There’s a separate series recorded for coaches. Visit the Coaching Room for episodes on how to teach these ideas.
Every episode is included with membership. Each one can also be bought on its own.
How to read the lie, picture how the ball will come out, and choose the shot the lie allows, using the framework from Read It Before You Hit It.
The difference between a change you can make in practice and one you own under pressure, and how to tell which stage you’re really at.
How expectation turns into tension and poor decisions, and what to do instead when a round starts to matter.
How your sense of the kind of golfer you are shapes the way you compete, and how to make it work for you rather than against you.
What the numbers from a lesson or launch monitor actually say, which two or three matter for you, and how to turn them into something you can feel.
Sessions that move a skill from the range to the course, and the signs your practice is only building comfort.
