Golf Smarter
Corrected Mistakes is GolfSmarter's newest interview-driven podcast that takes a deep dive into the history, science, art, and methods of teaching the golf swing. Host Josh Karp—a writer, producer, and 12-handicap golfer—talks with instructors, historians, and scientists about how the swing has evolved, from Young Tom Morris to Tiger Woods. Each episode explores swing philosophies, the impact of technology and architecture, and what we can learn from the best players in the history of the game.
