#40 - Erik Barzeski - Long Term Golf Development

Author: Mike Carroll January 22, 2023 Duration: 1:32:20

In this episode I am joined by Erik Barzeski. Erik is an excellent golf coach whom I have personally worked with on my own game through video analysis of swings recorded at rage sessions, which were absolutely fantastic.

I first learned about Erik after reading the book he co authored, Lowest Score Wins.
I reached out to Erik to let him know how impressed I was by the book, and we have stayed in contact since, discussing a wide range of golf improvement related topics.

I am always impressed with Erik’s knowledge, so was glad to finally have him as a guest on the podcast.
