Uphill Lies, Downhill Lies, and the Lies You Tell Yourself
Sunday, 13 September, 2026
Lesson Tee vs. On‑Course Work Jeff breaks down the difference: Lesson tee = mechanics On-course = thinking Golfers get in trouble because they grab a club based solely on yardage. Jeff explains why 155 yards is NOT always a six‑iron—especially when there’s wind, elevation, trouble in front, or a lie that changes loft. • Becoming Your Own Caddy Jeff urges golfers to talk to themselves like a caddy would: Is long better than short? Is left better than right? What’s the wind doing up there, not just at your ankles? Most golfers toss grass in the air and pretend it means something. Jeff explains why that’s adorable… and useless. The Invisible Enemy: Wind Jeff goes deep on how wind affects ball flight: Wedges balloon and stall Trees tell the truth Clouds tell the real truth Ground wind ≠ sky wind Rule of thumb: whatever you feel at ground level, it’s worse up where your ball is flying. • Lies That Lie to You Uphill lie? Adds loft. Downhill lie? Takes loft away. Jeff explains how to brace the downhill leg, match shoulder tilt to the slope, and choose the right club so your six‑iron doesn’t suddenly become a four‑iron or an eight‑iron. • Rough Reality Check If the ball is sitting down, your six‑iron is a fantasy. Jeff walks through how to test the grass, choose the longest club with enough loft to cut through, and why the ball should NOT be shoved back in your stance unless you enjoy hitting low screamers. Football Break – FanDuel Accuracy & Michigan’s “Extra Second” John and Jeff take a detour into college football, roasting Michigan’s infamous “extra second,” praising FanDuel’s spooky accuracy, and sharing stories about Indiana fans who sometimes forget they have a football team. • Closing – Off to Sedona Jeff heads off to Oak Creek Golf Course for desert-style teaching, psychic energy, and maybe aliens. John stays in the studio where the wind is controlled and the lies are only metaphorical. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
