Son of a Butch with Claude Harmon

Claude Harmon’s New Year’s resolution for golfers: stop chasing perfect. Because perfect is the enemy of progress. In this episode, we dive into why functional golf matters more than flawless swings and why the game ultimately comes down to one question — how good are your bad shots?

Claude breaks down how just 30 minutes can be an effective practice session — whether you’re in the technical phase, the transfer/integration phase, or the execution/performance phase. The key is knowing which phase you’re in and making sure every practice session, every swing, and every ball you hit has a purpose.

Claude and Ryan Crysler dive into how better strategy and game planning can free you from obsessing over technique — and help you finally reach your target score.

Practicing — and how you practice — can be one of the biggest drivers of improvement in your golf game…or one of the biggest roadblocks. Inspired by the idea that it’s often the process that fails, not the player, Claude explores why adopting a “No Blame” approach to practice can unlock more growth, more confidence, and better results.

Claude breaks down Nick Saban’s famous 24-hour rule — the idea that players and coaches get one day to celebrate a win or learn from a loss before shifting focus to what’s next. He explores how adopting that same mindset can benefit every golfer, from weekend players to competitors: taking time to recognize what you did well, being honest about what needs work, and then letting go so you can move forward with confidence.

Claude welcomes Senior Instructor and Coach Ryan Crysler back to the pod to break down The Bogey-Proof Blueprint Game — a game he’s developed to help players stop chasing scores and start thinking like risk managers. It’s a mindset shift: par or better is a win, over par is a loss, and the perfect score? 18–0.

Claude welcomes instructor Matt Gallant to the podcast for a conversation about the fine line between good and great players. Matt shares lessons from his own journey as both a competitor and coach — from facing Brandt Snedeker in high school to now teaching at The Floridian. They discuss the mental edge that separates elite golfers, why pros constantly tweak their swings, and the importance of balancing technical knowledge with on-course instincts. Plus, Matt and Claude reflect on the shared challenge — and joy — of a game that’s never easy to master.
