  • S13, Ep57: Why Your Golf Lessons Aren’t Lowering Your Scores & Your Best Golf Could Still Be Ahead of You

You took the lesson. You bought the wedges. So why are the same mistakes still showing up on your scorecard?

Tom Patri and PGA Tour Champions pro Jason Caron join Chris Mascaro to explore the habits, practice choices, and decisions that could be holding your game back.

First, Tom Patri explains why improvement depends on what happens between lessons—and why heading straight from a lesson to the first tee can leave you frustrated. He shares how bringing back the waggle can reduce tension, why a reliable pre-shot routine matters under pressure, and how to make wedge bounce your friend when the turf changes. Plus, TP takes us behind the scenes of his time with legendary basketball coach Bobby Knight.

Then, Jason Caron shares his journey from Cape Cod to the PGA Tour, a career as a club professional, and a fresh opportunity on PGA Tour Champions. Hear how his wife helped him rediscover his swing, what makes his partnership with his caddie work, and why your quickest path to lower scores may begin at the short-game area.

Along the way, you’ll learn how to focus on where you want the ball to go, get more value from practice, and stop giving away strokes without chasing more distance.
