Golf Rehab Episode 15 – Are Golf Influencers More Important Than Tour Pros? Aftermarket Shafts, Stronger Irons & Golf Traditions

Send us a message, or your questions Another week on Golf Rehab, and James has managed to break yet another golf club! Between club championships, questionable match-play performances and some much-needed practice, there's plenty to talk about this week. Pete and James get into the equipment debate, asking whether expensive aftermarket driver shafts are really worth the extra money, and whether modern irons are becoming too strong in loft at the expense of height, spin and stopping power. In this week's Diagnosis, we tackle some bigger questions facing the game: Are golf influencers becoming more important than professional golfers? Is golf losing its traditions, and does it actually matter? Should golfers have a maximum number of practice swings before hitting the ball? We also catch up on Operation Scratch, discuss the importance of keeping pace of play, and James delivers this week's Prescription with some practical putting drills to help you hole more putts. Plus, we're getting closer to The Longest Day at Mount Broughton on November 30, playing 72 holes in support of the Kids' Cancer Project. We talk about the challenge, fundraising and why skin cancer checks should be on every golfer's to-do list.
