Wedge Work Wins ! In Conversation with Mike LaBauve
Manage episode 515141159 series 3056778
We challenge the myth that more greens alone lowers scores and show how wedge control and impact-focused coaching change a golfer’s ceiling. Mike shares a short game test, a simple wedge matrix, and a speed move that adds real yardage without chasing positions.
• Mike’s journey from player to coach and key mentors
• Fixing root causes using steep and shallow components
• Why ball flight and communication beat perfect positions
• The Howard Twitty wedge matrix and scoring lessons
• A short game test that sets a real baseline
• Building one partial wedge swing for known yardages
• Pronation and wrist action for faster clubhead speed
• Practicing what affects score, not what flatters ego
