202: Recruiting and Building a Team of Tour Players | Mike Dunphy | Srixon / Cleveland Golf

Today we’re talking with Mike Dunphy, Player Development Manager for Srixon / Cleaveland Golf. Mike is in charge of finding, recruiting, and training all the new players that they bring in to the brand of Srixon / Cleveland Golf. From collegiate to WebDotCom, to PGA players using their equipment, Mikes is in charge of it all.

It was very cool to pick Mike’s brain and get an inside look at what goes on behind the scenes with player development in a brand like Srixon/Cleveland. We also discussed what the difference maker is when these players choose Srixon over some of the other larger companies like Titleist, Callaway, etc.

197: The Secret Links of an Efficient Golf Swing | Tom Myers | Anatomy Trains

This week we’ve got a bit of a legend on the show: Tom Myers. Manual therapist, body worker, and author of Anatomy Trains, one of the most popular and pioneering books when it comes to making sense of all the connections, patterns and the way that your body actually moves (specifically in regards to the muscles, tendons, and fascia in your body).

I know many of you may be sitting there trying to make heads or tails of the last word: fascia. Fascia is the connective tissue that runs throughout our body that impacts every move you make. It’s become kind of a buzzword lately, and Tom has been teaching and learning about fascia for decades now and we are just starting to see how groundbreaking his early work was and the research he continues to reveal.

If you’re a golfer that has ever experience pain after playing or practicing, especially back pain, my guess would be that you either sought out some form of relief or would love to find it.
