  • The Golfer Who Breaks All Our Rules: Matt Lowe

    The Golfer Who Breaks All Our Rules: Matt Lowe
    Oct 19 2026
    In this episode, Jon and Adam are joined by elite mid-amateur Matt Lowe to break down one of the most unconventional games they’ve seen at a high level. Matt explains why he plays extremely fast, shapes the ball both ways under pressure, rarely hits full iron shots, and relies heavily on instinct, feel, and a lifetime of experimentation rather than launch-monitor data or rigid routines. They also discuss the work it took to build his ball striking, why he now practices far less and leans on “go-to” shots when his game isn’t cooperating. Matt also opens up about his long-running struggles with putting and the mental side of the game, despite having one of the best competitive seasons of his career. And you'll also hear about his social media "explosion" at the U.S. Amateur. The conversation is ultimately a fascinating look at how an elite player can break many conventional rules of modern golf and still perform at an exceptionally high level.

  • How to Play Better Golf in the Wind, Rain, and Cold

    How to Play Better Golf in the Wind, Rain, and Cold
    Oct 5 2026
    Use code PG25 to get 25% off all gear at https://zerorestriction.com/ In this episode, Jon and Adam break down how golfers should adjust when wind, rain, cold, and other tough conditions start changing the game. They explain why headwinds hurt more than tailwinds help, how wind magnifies curvature and distance errors, and why simply taking more club is often a better option than trying to manufacture specialty shots. They also discuss how rain and cold can affect ball flight, distance, swing speed, and even the way your body moves, along with the importance of having the right gear and warming up properly. Just as important, they explain why expectations need to change when the weather gets difficult and why fighting the conditions usually makes things worse. The goal is to treat bad weather as a different challenge, make smarter adjustments, and keep a tough round from getting away from you.
