Practice Thinkers PodcastAuthor: Peter Arnott
A show about practice the part of golf nothing measures. Peter Arnott has spent thousands of coaching hours asking one question: what does practice have to contain to show up on the course? He's found some answers, he's still searching, and he's made plenty of mistakes on the way. This show is him inviting you into the search. Some episodes are Pro Practice History interviews tour players and elite golfers walking through their practice life, junior golf to tour, what stayed and what got cut. Some are conversations with the people who shape practice coaches and sport scientists. And some are Peter on practice design itself what a session has to contain, and why. Peter is a performance and practice coach and the founder of Ettle the app that shows what kind of work your practice was.

Meeting a New Friend
Monday, 14 September, 2026
A player I work with had been on a knockdown shot for a week and was thoroughly fed up with it. So I asked her a question with no golf in it at all. When you meet someone new, do you trust them straight away? She said no. Nobody does. That is a new shot. You spend time with it, in a few different situations, and somewhere in all that you find out what it's actually like. Most players do the opposite. They learn it on the Tuesday, take it into a tournament on the Saturday, it doesn't come off, and the shot gets quietly dropped. Or they never test it at all and it lives on the range forever. Neither of those is a problem with the player. It's a problem with the pace. Ettle is the app in this episode. It's what tells her that week was a Build week, and what shows her a month later that she still hasn't put any heat on that shot. It opens properly in October.
