About this episode
In this episode, Raymond and Chase sit down with longtime friend and renowned coach John Dunigan to talk about what real skill development looks like—and why most golfers spend their time on the wrong things. John breaks down the difference between improving a motion and improving a skill , why perfection and “consistency” often hold players back, and how tools like external focus, exaggeration, and the Goldilocks principle help golfers learn faster. They also dig into why low point, face-to-path, and predictable curve matter far more than picture-perfect mechanics, how to blend block and random practice the right way, and why practice should mirror the shots you actually face on the course—not just what feels good on the range. John also shares his work with the Skilled Coaching Alliance, where coaches learn to apply motor learning science in real lessons, and the Practice Coach app, which builds structured, disciplined training sessions that help players get better where it counts.
