Golfers love to obsess over their equipment. And for many, club fitting is about finding the perfect clubs.For Joe Kwok, it's about eliminating doubt.Joe is one of the country's most respected independent club fitters. With 30+ years of working with everyone from beginners to elite players, he's learned that great fitting is more about understanding the golfer than it is about specs and launch numbers.We discuss how Joe became a club fitter, why golfers are always searching for "the answer," why club fitting is a long-term relationship, and the psychology behind why we blame our clubs more often than ourselves.Whether you're an equipment junkie or someone who's never been fit for a club, this conversation offers an expert perspective on what club fitting can—and can't—do for your game.To learn more about Joe or inquire about a fitting, visit his website: https://www.joekwokgolf.com/Follow Weekday Golf:Instagram / YouTube / Facebook: @weekdaygolfpodcastEmail: [email protected] by: Austin WooldridgeMusic provided by: ⁠https://www.classicals.de/mozart-figaro

We're excited to be joined by Joe Skovron (aka "Skov"), who has spent nearly two decades as one of the most respected caddies on the PGA Tour, including 13 years with Rickie Fowler and now in his third season with Ludvig Åberg. We've been fortunate to spend a few rounds with Skov over the years, and that familiarity made for a candid conversation.We didn't talk about specific shots at their latest event. Instead, Skov takes us inside the psychology of elite golf: how he builds trust and manages confidence, how rounds can drift off course, what tour-level preparation actually looks like, and what it takes to perform and recover when the pressure is highest. We also get a cameo from his pup (and learn why he's named Philip).We discuss:Confidence, pressure, and learning how to winRecovering from mistakes in real timeRyder Cups, major championships, and life on TourData vs instinct in decision makingWhy relationships are the soul of golfContact us: [email protected] Instagram: @weekdaygolfpodcastYouTube: @weekdaygolfpodcastTwitter/X: @weekdaygolfpodDesign by: Austin WooldridgeMusic provided by: ⁠https://www.classicals.de/mozart-figaro

A few weeks ago, we recorded Part 1 of the Los Cab Cup before the event actually began. At that point, all we had were expectations, optimism, and a lot of questions about what would happen when 90 golfers descended on a ranch in Arizona.Now we're back with the aftermath.Joined once again by our friend Scott Walker from the The Edge Podcast, we look back on what worked, what surprised us, and what we'll remember most. Along the way: escaped horses, travel bag disasters, a dramatic horse race finale, unexpected friendships, and the challenge of creating connection at a scale most golf trips never attempt.In the end, the golf was great. But as usual, that's not really what we'll remember.Contact us: [email protected] Instagram: @weekdaygolfpodcastYouTube: @weekdaygolfpodcastTwitter/X: @weekdaygolfpodDesign by: Austin WooldridgeMusic provided by: ⁠https://www.classicals.de/mozart-figaro

A few episodes back, Jason Soucy told us that hosting a major championship means building a temporary city.After spending several days inside the PGA Championship at Aronimink Golf Club, Preston realized he wasn’t exaggerating.We go behind the scenes of a modern major championship — from 60,000-square-foot merch tents and massive hospitality compounds to volunteer operations, transportation logistics, production kitchens, TV compounds, and the invisible systems designed to make the experience feel seamless for tens of thousands of fans.This episode is about what it feels like when you build a temporary world around the pursuit of creating an unforgettable experience.We also discuss:​Why Preston barely watched any golf​The volunteer experience​No bathroom lines, somehow​Saucon Valley’s legendary shower pressure​and a quick stop at Baltusrol Golf Club on the way homeThis episode isn't a tournament recap, but rather field notes and an early glimpse into the world surrounding the 2028 PGA Championship at The Olympic Club.Contact us: [email protected] Instagram: @weekdaygolfpodcastYouTube: @weekdaygolfpodcastTwitter/X: @weekdaygolfpodDesign by: Austin WooldridgeMusic provided by: ⁠https://www.classicals.de/mozart-figaro

For years, golf course rankings have tried to answer a deceptively simple question: what makes a golf course great?We intuitively believe that our overall golf experience includes, but extends beyond pure course design. But we were curious to learn how the official ratings worked. This week, we sit down with Golf Digest course rating panelist David Rawlinson to explore that question from every angle — architecture, strategy, aesthetics, conditioning, atmosphere, history, and the emotional pull that keeps golfers coming back to certain places.Along the way, we talk about:Why some famous holes work so wellRisk/reward and “choose your own adventure” golfTrees, walkability, routing, and the psychology of designWhether great golf architecture can ever really be objectiveAs the conversation unfolds, we circle around the main question: is it possible to separate a course rating from your experience?Contact us: [email protected] Instagram: @weekdaygolfpodcastYouTube: @weekdaygolfpodcastTwitter/X: @weekdaygolfpodDesign by: Austin WooldridgeMusic provided by: ⁠https://www.classicals.de/mozart-figaro

Dr. Rick Sessinghaus has spent decades coaching golfers at the highest level of the game, including working with Collin Morikawa since childhood. Instead of approaching this conversation like a traditional interview, we decided to use ourselves — and our own golf games — as the case study.We talk with Rick about focus, confidence, expectations, frustration, slow play, performance under pressure, and what actually separates golfers who can recover mentally from those who spiral. Along the way, Rick helps us unpack some of our own patterns and contradictions on the course — from Oliver’s emphasis on shot results to Preston’s relationship with expectations and rhythm.Topics include:Why “flow follows focus”Whether flow is actually trainableConfidence vs commitmentHow to refocus after distractionsSlow play and emotional regulationExpectations, frustration, and the “should” trapCuriosity over criticismWhat the soul of golf means to RickDr. Rick Sessinghaus is a performance coach, sports psychologist, and co-founder of FlowCode Golf Academy. He has coached players at every level of the game and is best known for his longtime work with two-time major champion Collin Morikawa.Contact us: [email protected] Instagram: @weekdaygolfpodcastYouTube: @weekdaygolfpodcastTwitter/X: @weekdaygolfpodDesign by: Austin WooldridgeMusic provided by: ⁠https://www.classicals.de/mozart-figaro

Two years ago, a golf trip to Wickenburg, Arizona brought together 44 guys for a long weekend of golf, games, and stories. This year, it became something much bigger.For Part 1, we teamed up with our friend Scott Walker, co-host of The Edge podcast, and recorded live from Rancho de Los Caballeros just before the 2026 Los Cab Cup began: 90 golfers, 22 teams, and three and a half days in the Arizona desert.At the time of this recording, nobody knew how it would go.Could the magic of a golf trip still hold at this scale? Could new friendships form? Would people care more about the golf, or the experience around it?This is the before.Part 2 — what actually happened — coming soon.Contact us: [email protected] Instagram: @weekdaygolfpodcastYouTube: @weekdaygolfpodcastTwitter/X: @weekdaygolfpodDesign by: Austin WooldridgeMusic provided by: ⁠https://www.classicals.de/mozart-figaro

This week we sit down with Jason Soucy, Championship Director for the 2028 PGA Championship at the Olympic Club, for a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to stage one of the biggest events in golf.Jason takes us inside the enormous scale of a major championship — from building a “startup” years in advance for what is ultimately one week of golf, to coordinating thousands of workers, city agencies, broadcasters, vendors, players, and fans. We talk about the evolution of the fan experience, what makes Olympic Club a special championship venue, how a course is prepared to crown a worthy champion, and what success looks like when the trophy is finally hoisted.It’s a conversation about stewardship, spectacle, and a side of golf most of us never get to see.Contact us: [email protected] Instagram: @weekdaygolfpodcastYouTube: @weekdaygolfpodcastTwitter/X: @weekdaygolfpodDesign by: Austin WooldridgeMusic provided by: ⁠https://www.classicals.de/mozart-figaro

There’s a moment for a lot of serious golfers where the path changes.You’ve spent years competing, improving, chasing something—and then, at some point, you realize it’s probably not going to be your profession.But that doesn’t mean you stop.This week, we talk with Marissa Mar, a Stanford golfer and elite amateur, about what happens after that decision.We get into the difference between loving the game and needing it, what competitive golf looks like when it’s no longer your career, and why some of the most meaningful golf happens later than you expect.Contact us: [email protected] Instagram: @weekdaygolfpodcastYouTube: @weekdaygolfpodcastTwitter/X: @weekdaygolfpodDesign by: Austin WooldridgeMusic provided by: ⁠https://www.classicals.de/mozart-figaro
