Whether it’s a member-member, member-guest, club championship, or another big event on your calendar, preparation can make the difference between feeling ready and feeling overwhelmed. In this episode, the guys discuss how to structure your practice leading into a tournament, why over-training in the final days often backfires, and the importance of arriving with a clear strategy rather than searching for your swing. They cover sharpening your short game, managing your energy and recovery, and developing tee-shot plans before the first round begins. The conversation also touches on a reality of many member events: they’re often won by players who make smart decisions, avoid big mistakes, and stay fresh mentally and physically over multiple days—not necessarily those who hit the most spectacular shots. They’re also often won by the handicap managers out there, so maybe don’t stress too hard over it, eh?
