This special episode features audio from a clip of a recent Golf Digest+ Happy Hour, where Drew Powell and Dr. Sasho MacKenzie discuss the science of swinging faster and how to hole more putts. MacKenzie touches on common speed killers in elite and more novice golfers and how to avoid them. Golf Digest+ members can watch our complete webinar with golf's leading biomechanist.

The saying is "tee it high, let it fly," but there's a compelling argument for teeing the ball up at different heights depending on the layout of the hole ahead and what you're trying to accomplish with your tee shot. In this episode, LKD and Drew Powell talk about how different tee heights will affect ball flight, shot shape and ultimately, accuracy.

LKD and Drew Powell move on in our Rules for Better Scoring series with a short game tip that will help you stop bleeding shots around the green and, eventually, help you start getting shots back.

How do you figure out what tees to play in a way that will still be fun, help you play faster and, crucially, in a way that mirrors what it feels like to be a PGA Tour player? The answer may be surprising. What's more, it's a great drill for learning how to score and feel the pressure of having birdie—and maybe even eagle—putts.

LKD and Drew Powell recall an old episode with 2022 U.S. Open Matthew Fitzpatrick where he details how much distance he budgets for mishits. He may be a pro, but our guys break down his method and explain how it can be adjusted and applicable for players of all skill levels.

In Part 2 of our better scoring series, LKD and Drew Powell explore Dr. Bhrett McCabe's '78-22' mindset and how focusing on what you have instead of what you think you should have will allow you to play better golf.

LKD and Drew Powell explain the 20/20/20 drill, one of the best practice routines for improving your swing technique. Many non-elite golfers have limited range time, so making the most of it with this drill is about as effective as it gets.

You need to play with what you've got on any given day. Sometimes that'll be your best, but more often than not, something will be off. But continuing to make mistakes trying to make something happen that just isn't happening is one of the fastest ways to blow up your scores. In this episode, LKD and Sam Weinman tie together their three-part series on mindset tactics to help you play better with a thought on how to make the most of a round.
