In this episode, we are not only going to introduce you to one of the most innovative improvements the golf industry has seen in years, but we are going to introduce you to the incredible serial entrepreneur and inventor of the Triple Track™ golf ball, Ray Barrett. Even if you’ve never heard of the Triple Track™ before, I bet you’ve seen it. Recently we’ve seen Phil Mickelson using a Callaway golf ball that has three little lines on it, to which he has attributed a significant improvement in his putting game. Now you’re probably thinking: “What’s the deal with these three little lines?” Every new golf ball that comes out on the market touts the same mediocre changes that make it “unique and better,” be it spin, feel, distance, etc. But, with the Triple Track, it’s NOT ABOUT THE BALL at all, but what is ON THE BALL! And as fascinating as the technology on the ball is, I believe it’s the story behind the ball and it’s inventor, Ray Barrett, that you are going to find most interesting and entertaining in this episode. After successfully building and selling 2 companies, Ray virtually stumbled upon the idea in a simple attempt to see the ball better when playing with his buddies, and thanks to his big vision and persistence, it is now being sold all over the world via Callaway Golf and is winning championships on the PGA Tour. Ray Barrett’s Background Ray Barrett graduated in 1960 from St. Louis University (SLU) where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration, where he has received the University’s “Distinguished Alumnus of the Year” award in 1989. Throughout St. Louis, he is widely known as an “Entrepreneurs’ Entrepreneur”. Ray has a track record of founding successful business’, from Landshire Food Systems (a manufacturer and distributor of packaged goods,) Biomedical Systems (a global organization offering clinical trial services, physician/cardiology services, and medical products with offices in the United States, Belgium, China, Japan and India serving several different healthcare markets.) Ray is also the Inventor of golfs Triple Track™ alignment pattern, distributed worldwide by Callaway Golf. Highlights from this Episode The zany background that
Today I am especially excited to bring back on our special guests, Harry Sese, and Shane Lawlor. One of the things that we love to do here at 18Strong is giving you a glimpse of what goes on on the tour. Trying to take the tour experience and bring it to you at home in your earbuds. This week we are going to do just that with two guys that have been traveling with golfers on the PGA tour as the medical staff for over a decade now: Dr. Harry Sese and Dr. Shane Lawlor. Both chiropractors working with PGA players as well as having clinics at home, that have come on to share their experiences with professionals and amateurs alike and the work they do that can directly apply to your golf game.

Today I am especially excited to bring on our special guests, Jeff Young and Ken Loewen from Mach 3 Speed Training.
“Am I ever going to be able to swing the club faster?” I think it’s a natural question that we all ask ourselves from time to time in the pursuit of peak golf fitness and performance, and especially in today’s game of golf distance is king so club-head speed can make or break your rounds. . .
Today I am especially excited to bring on our special guest, Captain Brandon Johnson.
Golf is a passion of ours, and it’s a part of life that we cherish. It’s the competition, the challenge, the joys, the frustrations, but in many cases, it’s the camaraderies we have out on the course meeting new people and hanging out with those we love…
Are you making the most out of this off-season? Some of the most common problems golfers experience on the course when the season comes around are lack of distance, lack of endurance, and not being any better and, if anything, being a little rusty from the year before.
Why are you here? Most people can’t answer that question when they go to see a Golf and Fitness specialist like Lance, but it’s important to discover your underlying needs and tailor a regiment that works for you. Lance is on today to talk to us about committing to the learning process and understanding what you are really trying to do and how to get to that end result.
While normally we’re talking about the physical and mental pieces that you can emphasize to get the greatest edge on your golf game, this week we are talking with Curt Rohe from the Metropolitan Amateur Golf Association about the new rules that are coming into play in 2019.
Today, I’m going to give you 5 simple things that could change your game next year, but NONE of these involve hitting a golf ball this off-season. We believe that your body is the greatest piece of golf equipment you own, and (perfect timing with the PGA show coming up) this is the time when every golf gadget and piece of technology is running rampant with claims that they will be the “one stop shop shortcut” to helping your golf game.
It’s not often that you get to chat with someone who is literally a pioneer in their industry, but that’s exactly what we have this week with Dr. Bobby Duvall.
