Most amateur golfers struggle to improve their game… not because of talent, but because of how they practice golf.

In this episode of the Athletic Motion Golf, Mike Granato & Shaun Webb break down the BIGGEST mindset differences between amateur golfers and professional golfers, including PGA Tour players, and why most golfers stay stuck at the same handicap for years.

If you’ve ever wondered why you’re not getting better at golf despite spending hours at the range, this is the wake-up call you need.

We cover:
- Why “beating balls” doesn’t improve your golf swing
- How pros actually practice (and why it works)
- The biggest mistakes amateurs make when trying to get better
- Why chasing swing feels and quick fixes keeps you stuck
- The importance of structured golf practice and feedback

This is NOT about swing mechanics… it’s about golf mindset, practice strategy, and improvement systems.

If you’re serious about lowering your handicap, breaking 90, 80, or even getting to scratch… you need to start thinking like a pro.

Because the truth is simple:

👉 The difference between a 15 handicap and a scratch golfer isn’t just skill… it’s HOW they practice.

If you’ve ever heard of The Golfing Machine by Homer Kelly and wondered whether it’s still relevant today… this is the breakdown you’ve been looking for.

In this episode of the Athletic Motion Podcast, Mike Granato & Shaun Webb chat with Brian Manzella to discuss The Golfing Machine book, one of the most talked-about (and misunderstood) golf instruction systems ever created. We cover what Homer Kelly actually intended, the real meaning behind concepts like flat left wrist, swing plane, and lag pressure, and how modern golf science views these ideas today.

You’ll learn:
What The Golfing Machine got RIGHT about the golf swing
The biggest MISCONCEPTIONS instructors still make
Why many golfers were actually hurt by misinterpretations
How modern tools like TrackMan and biomechanics compare to Kelly’s theories

This isn’t just another golf lesson — this is a deep dive into golf instruction history, biomechanics, and swing philosophy.

Whether you’re a coach, low handicap golfer, or just curious about legendary golf instruction systems, this breakdown will give you clarity on one of the most influential golf books ever written.

As discussed in the video, many of the interpretations of The Golfing Machine have evolved (and in some cases, been misused), which is why understanding the original intent is critical.
