Description
Larry the Cable Guy Drops a New Joke John shares a fresh, never‑before‑told Larry the Cable Guy joke from his interview on The Approach Shot. The guys discuss Larry’s golf game, his left‑handed swing, and why he keeps getting invited back to celebrity tournaments.
• Celebrity Golf Tournaments: Skill Optional Scott and Jeff talk about the American Century Championship shifting from “good players” to “good celebrities,” and why some legitimately great golfers don’t get invited back.
• Weather That Makes Golf Questionable (But We Still Play) Stories of 60‑mph winds, balls rolling off greens, and John’s legendary 300‑yard three‑wood courtesy of Hurricane Ike. Also: the moment when golfers finally admit, “Maybe we should go inside.”
• Punch Shots, Knockdowns & Stingers — What’s the Difference? Jeff and Scott break down the real mechanics behind low‑flight shots, how Tiger learned them, and why amateurs confuse all three. Great tips on ball position, finish height, and choking down on the club.
• Driver Off the Deck: Yes, You Can Technique talk: sweeping the ball, choking down, standing closer, and hitting it off a “pane of glass.” Plus, when it’s actually smart to pull off this shot (hint: trees involved).
• Equipment Choices for Real‑World Conditions Why amateurs should own more than 14 clubs — even if they only bring 14 to the course. Hybrids vs. fairway woods, wedge bounce for different sands, and how to build a “weather‑ready” bag.
• The Psychology of Ball Striking Why hitting it solid matters more emotionally than scoring well. John shares how great contact saved an otherwise distance‑challenged round.
• Teaching Philosophy: Keep It Simple Scott and Jeff talk about the value of simple instruction, why online tips can be misleading, and how great teachers fix multiple issues with one cue.
• The Bull Joke (Because We Can’t Help Ourselves) John drops a classic “consulting bull” joke that fits perfectly into the Golf Guys tradition of questionable humor.
