What If You Stopped Chasing Perfect Swings. A Talk with Henrik Lundqvist

Send us Fan Mail

We sit down with Henrik Lundqvist to unpack why Sweden keeps producing elite golfers, and how constraints, competition, and multi-sport backgrounds build players who adapt fast. We also dig into quantifiable wedge and putting improvement, why on-course play beats endless range reps, and what honest metrics say about going pro.

• Henrik’s early golf life at a small Swedish club and learning through ball flight feedback 
• How Sweden’s short season drives winter technique work and summer scoring reps 
• Multi-sport training as real “functional fitness” for golf movement and mindset 
• Practice allocation with a heavy bias toward on-course play and competitive games 
• Trailblazers, local tours, and why belief spreads when someone “from your town” makes it 
• Lessons from traveling tours, reading grain, grass types, and adapting to conditions 
• Equipment evolution from persimmon and balata to modern drivers and low-spin balls 
• A measurable wedge framework including set distances and defining “low” by launch angle 
• Coaching principles built on science, quantification, and simple communication 
• What it takes to chase pro golf using stats, hours, support, and a realistic plan 
• Where to find Henrik: hlgcgolf.com and North Star Golf Performance on YouTube
