Episode Description
This week on the Pure Drive Podcast, Brian Dunlevy is joined by Pure Drive instructor Athan Goulos for a deep dive into some of the most misleading golf advice.
The conversation then shifts from swing mechanics to what really lowers scores. Brian and Athan discuss why too many golfers obsess over having a "perfect" swing instead of developing their short game, course management, and mental toughness.
The episode wraps up with a preview of The Open Championship at Royal Birkdale, discussing the unique challenges of links golf, players to watch, and their tournament picks.
