Off Course is back this week with a fantastic show and this is episode 302. Hosted by Dan Edwards, each Friday we give you a deep look into the world of golf and equipment in a way unlike any other podcast has done before. Today, THP Forum Member Amart joins the show to discuss navigating improvement over time.
It wouldn’t be Off Course without some tangents, but Dan and Amart dive into many topics including the short game being the area you definitely want to be and being a sim legend vs an on course disaster. This show has a lot going on and is one you will not want to miss as Amart goes Off Course.

Episode 302 is here and Dan and Andy discuss the following topics and a whole lot more.
Navigating Improvement over Time
The Short Game Area is Definitely the Place to Be
Sim Legend vs On Course Disaster
Shaft Weight Selection
Cleveland CBZ and Who Are They For
And so much more

Look what we have here.
Just stumble on the in the Tube. And fired it up. Having your wife on the show would be fantastic. Bummed I didn’t get the chance to share a round with both of you.
Chipping competitions with your buddies is such a great way to practice. Critical in putting game pressure on practice.
Plus great opportunities to shit talk your friends.

Absolutely
I need some “oh god there’s a road to my right” stories in here pronto 🤣
Long drive tomorrow back home and this will be at the top of the list. Way more important topic that what most of us give credit
Hole 9 of my home muni has a road to the right. Pretty sure it cured my big slice for fear of killing people so I get it. I so get it.
This was a fantastic episode.
Oh man, ANDAAAAAYYYYYY
I can’t wait to dive in on this one this evening!
I have this one queued up. Fun fact, my first event ever at THP was a Bridgestone Invitational at Old Stonewall, and Amart was in the group we played with.

Well not a road but a house. My wife and I were playing 9 after work one day. We get to the 9th which is an uphill par 3 playing 170 with two houses on the right. In the 25 or so years of playing the course I had never hit a house. Earlier in the week playing the 16th I broke that streak with a wicked snap hook over the trees to hit a house. Fast forward to the 9th tee my wife asks “is this the house you hit?”. I told her no that it was on the back nine. Sure enough I shank my tee shot and hit one of the houses on the right. I looked at her calmly and told her never to ask me that question again. Haven’t even come close since.

It’s so much fun to sit back once in a while and realize just how long some of our THP stories are.
Queued this up for the 8 hour flight!
I so relate to a lot of Andy’s journey.

He’s definitely a THPer. Minus the posting part.
We should heckle. [USER=16754]@AMart[/USER]
watched most of it last night. keep em rolling
I gave this a listen yesterday morning and thought it was an interesting podcast. Thanks for putting the story out there, guys. It was very cool to hear about a good player helping a high capper improve. :drinks:
And Dan, I think I can speak for everyone here… we will all be very happy [I]when[/I] you finally get that HIO – even if it does not about from a perfect strike.

Yeah, Iong time ago lol. It was a fun round though.
I need to listen to this.
Listened on my morning commute today. I used to play a lot of rounds with [USER=7159]@will[/USER] back in Georgia. It’s a similar story.
Being out of the office (and on the course) Friday, I am late to this party but glad I was able to listen through today. Other than the uncomfortable amount of finger-pointing and shirking of responsibility (regarding club orders) from your guest, it was a GREAT listen [USER=2320]@Canadan[/USER] !
