Reviews

I am a golfer that celebrates a par and this podcast not only helps golfers like me, but also a golfer of any level. A lot of the topics can be used outside of golf and in your day to day life. It has not fixed my slice, but I can say that I have honestly improved my game from this podcast.

This is a great podcast. It makes my hour-long commute bearable and has vastly improved the mental part of my game. Keep it up Fred.

Just what the doctor ordered for my game. The podcast focuses on the mental side which has really improved my whole approach and average score. I listen to the podcasts on the way to the course and it helped me beat my best score. Just listen once and if your a golfer, you'll be hooked, or sliced, whitchever you need.

The focus of this podcast is not the latest and greatest fads, but rather, provides plenty of constructive ways to change how golfers think about the course in front of them and the best way to play it. Some episodes are "course focused" and help the golfer to understand the best shots to take, as well as the intentions of the designer (which will help in other courses). Other episodes feature instructors and other professionals and cover various topics to help your thinking. There is always a nugget in every episode - HIGHLY recommended!

I've always been intrigued by the philosophical lessons golf teaches us. Fred is a great host with interesting guests. No boring technical stuff, just insightful exchanges focused on the key obstacle to anyone's golf game, the area between our ears.

Take a listen to these Podcasts every chance you can. You will learn so much more than a simple article in a publication. Go get'em Fred!!!!

Fred does an excellent job exploring and asking ?'s (mental, physical etc.) that directly impact your golf game with the goal being improving your score.

I really enjoy these podcasts, and I have learned quite a lot from some of them. Probably the most important thing I've learned has been course management topics - things like playing par 4s as if they're par 5s since that's probably what I'll get anyway, playing from the proper tee box, and recognizing and accepting that I'm probably not going to make the green in 2 on most holes. I've taken several of the tips and applied them to the rounds I've played recently, and darned if I'm not shooting lower. I've always shot around 100. Sometimes a little less. Sometimes a little more. This weekend, I played a course I'd never played before. I was playing with my 11 yr old son, and we played from the foreward tees. I concentrated on shot selection. Instead of going for the green on the par 4s and 5s, I chose to lay up and stayed out of the green-side bunkers and other hazards. Instead of stressing out over my shots, I relaxed and enjoyed the round with my son. It was the most enjoyable and lowest-scoring round ever. I shot 90, and if not for the very 1st hole when I got hung up in a fairway bunker, I'd have been in the 80s. That's something I never thought I'd be able to do. Listening to the Golf Smarter podcast got me to change the way I approach the game. I'll never be a Tiger Woods, but at least I'm improving and enjoying the game more. Thanks a bunch.

Valuable information about the great game of golf -- relevant to any experience level. Well worth the time -- always learn some little tidbit that comes in handy on the course. Particularly good course management information -- even if you may never play the particular course they're discussing similar characteristics come into play.

I find this golfcast amazing. The questions asked and answered are truly for the average golfer. Keep up the great work!

My brother and I frequently play a round a week at different course. While Fred hasn't made it to our local links, his reviews, insight and commentary have helped me enjoy a game I love, even more. Give it a listen. (I came upon this podcast while doing research for my own show - A Life of Play - in which we find fun things for people to do in their free time. Golf and the Golf Smarter podcast are two things I'm all about doing in my free time.)

The GOLF SMARTER podcast is often very helpful in providing tips from course pros,  designers, and instructors, which enable you to truly "golf smarter". Fred Greene does a fabuluos job producing and interviewing, making the show interesting, enjoyable, and informative! I'd highly recommend it for any golfer.

Golf Smarter is a great weekly podcast for all avid golfers. Fred Greene is a wonderful host that understands golf and has a great passion for the game. Each week a new course is featured and usually the head pro is interviewed and goes through each hole on the course. It is an in-depth survey of each course and includes what to avoid on each hole and what the risks/rewards may be. The best thing about Golf Smarter is after listening to several of the podcasts a golfer begins to understand what defenses course designers build into golf courses and how those defenses come into play. A golfer can begin to see those same design characteristics in the courses they play and learn to take advantage of this knowledge. In golf patience is a virtue and so is course management. Learn to enjoy your golf game more. Listen to Golf Smarter. Great Job Fred!

Give it a listen, I guarantee you won't be disappointed. Fred does a great job with this podcast. He covers things that most golfers don't think about. Things like the mental side of the game and course management. Things that we should all pay attention too, but probably don't. This podcast has inspired me to concentrate as much on the mental side of my games as I do on the physical. I made a course request and Fred was more than happy to do it. Great guy with a great podcast.

Good interviews and information. I like the segment when the host gets into the why a course was designed in such a way and playing tips

As a young golfer, I found Golf Smarter not only informative and in-depth, but also a great tool to help my burgeoning golf skills. Keep it up Fred Greene!

As the tiltle suggests, this podcast is packed with insights tailored to raise your game and lower your score. The convience of podcasting this programing for listening anytime is a winner.

I've listened to all of the podcasts that have been posted so far...and they are GREAT! As a guy who loves to play golf, I think this is such a huge help! I'd reccomend this to anyone who appreciates the game of golf, either novice, advanced, or anywhere in between!

great for golfers i love this podcast
