Misjudging Distance: The Hidden Reason You Miss Greens / Episode 130

Most golfers don’t miss greens because of a bad swing—they miss because they misjudge the distance.

In this episode, Steve breaks down one of the most overlooked scoring killers in golf: poor distance control on approach shots. From overestimating your yardages to ignoring elevation, wind, and course conditions, these small miscalculations quietly add strokes to your round.

You’ll learn why your “stock yardage” isn’t always reliable, how adrenaline and course management decisions can distort your perception, and the simple adjustments that can help you start hitting more greens with confidence.

If you’ve ever flown the green when you swore you had the right club—or come up frustratingly short—this episode will help you understand why it’s happening and how to fix it.
