ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Today's guest is Robbie Filmore, a putting coach who can help you stop 3-putting. At age three, Robbie survived a severe fire accident that left him with third-degree burns across 30% of his body. Doctors predicted he would never lift his right arm above parallel, but through intensive physical therapy, he defied the odds to begin golfing at age four, winning his first tournament at ten, and eventually building an elite golf career.

Robbie went on to play college golf at BYU—earning All-American honors and stroke play medalist distinction at the U.S. Amateur—before playing professionally and transitioning into instruction. Operating out of GilliGolf in Mesa, Arizona, Robbie helps golfers drop strokes through proper setup, putter fitting, and structured practice without making drastic swing overhauls.

⛳️Overcoming Childhood Odds: How Robbie beat medical predictions after a severe burn injury to become a BYU All-American and multi-time U.S. Amateur competitor.
⛳️Setup Over Stroke: Why 83% of a putt's direction depends on face angle at impact, and why adjusting your posture to fit an off-the-rack putter ruins consistency.
⛳️Eye Position & Lead-Hand Grip: How finding your ideal eye position and optimizing lead-hand control eliminates common pulling and pushing errors.
⛳️Mastering Constant Tempo: Why maintaining the exact same tempo across 3-footers and 60-footers is essential for distance control.
⛳️15-Minute Calibration Routine: Step-by-step gate and string drills to sharpen face alignment and posture before every round.
⛳️Smarter Green Reading: How to identify high points, segment long putts, and avoid misreading breaks as perfect arcs.
⛳️Conquering Tournament Pressure: Why speeding up over the ball and putting under real-stakes pressure are key to performing under stress.
