You're striping it on the range, then somewhere between the range and the first tee your swing vanishes — "where did that guy go?" It happens to everyone, and in today's Athletic Motion Golf Podcast, Shaun Webb and Mike Granato break down exactly why, and how to bring your range swing to the course.

We get into the false confidence of hitting the same club over and over, why you should change clubs and targets every ball ("play the course on the range"), and the number one killer under pressure: getting quick and not finishing your backswing. You'll hear the Jack Nicklaus "finish your backswing" principle, David's "miss it quick," VJ Singh's one-two-three-four count and the Tour Tempo idea, Dr. Debbie's archery drill and "second serve" philosophy for making a free first swing, plus how nerves quietly wreck your setup — Adam Scott, Nick Price adjusting to the wind, and why it's the mosquitoes that get you, not the bears.

If you play your best golf on the range and your worst on the first tee, this one's for you. Timestamps below — tell us your first-tee horror story in the comments.
