Hey y'all, I'm Elliott Hall. Welcome back to another episode of The Journey to St. Andrews. This week, I’m diving into my recent golf lesson at Bobby Jones' Grand Slam Golf Academy Center. I’ll talk about how taking notes and tracking your progress with scorecards and apps like Arcos can make a real difference.

I’ll also share my thoughts on practicing on grass versus mats and give you some tips to get the most out of your practice sessions. Plus, I’ve started trying out a new speed training technique to boost my swing speed and overall performance – I’ll let you know how that's going.

Finally, I’ll recount a nine-hole round at Bobby Jones' Magnolia course, sharing the challenges I faced and the lessons I learned. Join me for some practical advice and tips on course management to help elevate your golf game. Please like, follow, and subscribe. You can also follow me on socials @elliottphall

Hey y'all, I'm Elliot Hall, and welcome to another episode of The Journey to St. Andrews. Fresh off our two-part series at Valhalla for the PGA Championship, I've been swamped with work and home life, leaving little time for golf. My only recent outing was a nine-hole round at Bobby Jones, where I shot a 50. Today, we're diving into the concept of bogey golf and how my mindset has evolved.

Despite limited playtime, I've been immersed in golf activities. I recently acquired a Ping G430 10K Max driver, hopefully enhancing forgiveness and control. My wedge game has also seen changes with a focus on a 50-degree gap wedge, a versatile 56, and a trusty 60 for greenside shots.

The main focus of this episode is on adopting a bogey golf mindset. By redefining each hole's par expectations, I've begun to play smarter and manage the course better. This approach allows me to look at the course much more strategically, play to my strengths, and avoid obstacles—or at least that's the plan (haha).

Hey y'all, I'm Elliott Hall. Join me in another installment of "The Journey to St. Andrews." This episode is part two of our adventure to Valhalla in Louisville, Kentucky, for the PGA Championship. Be sure to catch the first part for the full story from the previous episode (#21)

We pick back up by talking about our very challenging round at Hurstbourne Country Club, one of Kentucky’s premier courses. I’ll walk you through the tough roughs and plentiful bunkers that brought my score up to well above my normal range (that's golf sometimes). Despite the high score, it was a great learning experience and a reminder of the value in playing diverse courses.

Next, we dive into the Sunday afternoon climax of the PGA Championship. My friends and I were at the Troll Pub when we witnessed a thrilling face-off between Xander Schauffele, Viktor Hovland, and Bryson DeChambeau. The tension was high as Bryson tied the championship record, but it was Xander who stole the show with a decisive birdie on the final hole.

On our drive back, my buddy Kevin and I made a spontaneous stop at Moccasin Bend Golf Course in Chattanooga, TN. The episode closes with my thoughts on the stark contrasts between a high-end course and a simple municipal course, each presenting its own set of challenges and delights.
