In this episode, Karl interviews golf instructor Adam Young, where they discuss the importance of skill development over technical perfection in golf. Adam explains his definition of skill as the ability to execute one's intention on the course, distinguishing it from mere technique. They delve into the necessity of adaptability in golf, debunking the myth of consistency and emphasising external focus and intention to improve shot outcomes. Adam also shares practical drills for golfers to enhance their skills by focusing on impact rather than aesthetics, and recommends training methods to better control ball strike and flight. Key takeaways include the significance of external focus, adaptability, and clear intention in achieving better golf performance.
