If your back locks up mid-round, won't let you play multiple days in a row, or has you nervous about making it through a member guest - this episode is for you.

95% of golf-related back issues are completely preventable. Chris Finn breaks down why back pain on the course is not bad luck, not aging, and not something you just manage through. It's a signal - and once you know what it's telling you, the fix is straightforward.

You'll learn:

• Why summer makes it worse - and the warm-up assumption that's quietly putting your back at risk
• The three root causes behind golf back pain and why cumulative load is sneaking up on you
• Why stretching and ibuprofen aren't solving anything - and what actually does
• The difference between soft tissue pain and nerve pain - and the one red flag that means you need imaging immediately
• The exact three-step fix and why the order matters
• The 10-minute post-round recovery routine that makes the next day significantly easier

Low back pain accounts for nearly 40% of all golf injuries. If you're already feeling it, don't wait until it costs you an event. Take the free assessment at parforsuccess.com and find out what's actually causing it before your next round.

What separates a good instructor from one who has coached two PGA Tour winners since childhood? Ted Kiegiel - Director of Golf at Carolina Country Club and one of the most respected teachers in the game - joins Chris Finn to pull back the curtain on how elite coaches actually develop players.

Ted has spent his career at Augusta National, The Country Club in Brookline, and Maidstone Club before landing at Carolina CC. He coached Webb Simpson and Grayson Murray from age 9. He also holds black belts in martial arts - which shaped how he reads movement, force generation, and body patterns long before TrackMan existed.

In this conversation, Ted shares the exact frameworks he uses with every player - the 3-Pod System, the 20-20-20 practice structure, his OOPS method for on-course prep, and the 3-question post-round debrief that cuts through noise and gets to what actually matters in your game.

If you've ever wondered what a world-class instructor is actually thinking when you step onto the tee for the first time - this episode answers that question in full.

You didn't lose your distance because you're getting older. You lost it because your body changed and your training didn't.

In this solo episode, Chris Finn breaks down exactly why golfers in their 40s, 50s, and 60s lose club speed - and why age is the correlation, not the cause. Using data from over 15,000 golfers, Chris walks through what's actually driving your distance loss and the exact sequence to reverse it.

You'll learn:

• Why the "I'm just getting older" explanation is costing you 30+ yards
• The three mobility limitations that shorten your backswing and kill your speed
• Why your "seven iron" probably isn't a seven iron anymore
• How low-weight, high-rep workouts are neurologically training your body to go slower
• The three-phase fix - mobility, strength, and transfer training - and the realistic timeline for each
• Why golfers who do the right things gain 20-30 yards in year one and only lose 2 mph over the next decade while everyone else loses 10

The distance you've lost isn't gone forever. Start with the free mobility assessment at parforsuccess.com - it'll show you exactly where your speed went and what to fix first.
